Jessica Simpson has had no trouble finding her feet in the world of pop, but it would seem that her latest public appearance proved a little more challenging. The 26-year-old stunner had trouble staying upright when she donned a pair of roller skates for the launch of her latest album in New York this week.
The blonde bombshell appears in skates for the video of her new single A Public Affair, but she confessed to finding it difficult to keep her balance while filming the clip. And the bubbly performer seemed to be experiencing the same problems in the Big Apple on Tuesday, as one of her minders had to step in on several occasions to stop her from toppling over.
Just last week Jessica went along to a rink in Texas because a radio listener had won a "skate date" with her, but the Dukes Of Hazzard star was no doubt relieved when the girl admitted she was no whiz on wheels either and suggested they just sit down and have a chat. There were to be no changes of plan at the Roxy venue in Manhattan, however, and the pop diva was soon rolling into action once again. After a few false starts she managed to find her balance and, with a large group of fans looking on, punched the air in delight.
Those hoping to share a few words with the chanteuse were left disappointed, though, as she was under orders not to use her voice at all. The self-effacing performer, who is recovering from laryngitis, carried a cardboard notice reading "I've lost my voice" to let people know she wasn't giving them the silent treatment on purpose.
