Singer/actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is said to have been left red-faced on live U.S. TV after she forgot the name of her leading man in Broadway musical ‘Chicago’.

The 25-year-old, who made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart on November 30 this year, was left tongue-tied when asked to recall her co-star Brent Barrett on The Today Show on December 24.

Simpson-Wentz, who has been performing for almost a month with Barrett, who plays Billy Flynn, was left embarrassed as she desperately tried to remember the name.

“Oh my god! Names, names, names, names, names,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
