For the ever-dwindling loyalists who still haven’t given up on ole Fat Bob, here’s at least one train-wreck you don’t have to worry about anymore: Surgically enhanced, professional lip-syncher Ashley Simpson has publicly denied that there was any truth to a collaboration with The Cure’s Robert Smith:

“That was never true. I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is so not true and so embarrassing.’ I am a huge fan, but would never expect to write with Robert Smith from the Cure. I mean, that would be a dream, but nothing that I would ever say. I was dying when I read that. I was like, ‘No! He’s gonna think I’m crazy.’”

Wow. Even Robert Smith didn’t deny it that hard.
