Ashlee Simpson's big comeback tour has been temporarily derailed in Tokyo, after she collapsed and was hospitalized following performance on MTV Japan Thursday.
The "Catch Me When I Fall" singer, on the road to support her chart-topping I Am Me--and to prove to the world that she really can sing--remains in an undisclosed hospital, publicist Rob Shuter said Friday.
News of the hospitalization was first reported by Us Weekly, which said Simpson had just finished a rendition of the hit single "Boyfriend" before telling the audience that she felt sick. "I love you guys," she said before exiting, only to collapse moments later in an elevator. She was immediately taken by ambulance to the hospital, per the magazine.
There's been no official word on the cause of the fainting spell, but Us Weekly quotes an unnamed source close to the family citing exhaustion as the reason for her collapse.
"She's wanted to prove over and over to her fans that she can perform live after what happened on SNL last year," the magazine quotes
Simpson, 21, has been promoting I Am Me for the better part of two months, including a return to the scene of the mime on Saturday Night Live, a string of concert dates and several TV and magazine interviews.
She has made headlines in recent weeks for her early-morning meltdown at a Toronto McDonald's (featuring her writing on the counter and telling an autograph-seeking fan to "kiss my foot") and her confession to Cosmopolitan that she suffered a "minor" eating disorder a decade ago when she was taking ballet lessons. Ashlee has also been helping sister Jessica work through her separation from Nick Lachey.
Her family is reportedly waiting for an official diagnosis before deciding whether to travel to Japan.
Meantime, Ashlee's appearance on Monday's Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas has been canceled.
Da Da Daggum dem Dukes!
If they go, I hope the Japanese docs won't let her creepy dad visit her alone after normal visiting hours.

Did anyone catch her when she fell?
She was probably having another bout of "acid reflux".
I thought her career had been permanently derailed by her voice just prior to that?!?
Ashlee Simpson is living proof that the casting couch is still alive and well.
She has mymusicsucksitis
is this oj's daughter or something? what has she done to contribute to humanity that she deserves her own thread? I mean she's no cindy sheehan...
Darn that Acid Reflux!
LOL!
well you know....
I wonder if 50,000 pissed Japanese fans were booing her and she couldn't take it ;)
"Cheap Trick Live a Budokan."
haha, captures it all
Geez, they're all heart, aren't they?
Her father is a real creep. He glowingly talks about his daughter Jessica's D-cup breasts.
"Who told this girl she could sing in the first place!"
Her daddy. He makes big bucks off his girls.
He's a sicko. Reportedly was a "pastor" before he became manager for Jessica and Ashlee. Something isn't right in that family.
