Jessica Simpson has been told to shut up. The buxom singer and actress is following in the footsteps of Katharine McPhee and Mick Jagger - at least of late - and has been told by her doctor to clam up.

In Touch Weekly is reporting that she is in New York and holed up resting in a hotel suite.

ITW reports:
It’s the day before the release of her highly anticipated new album, A Public Affair, but instead of shouting from the rooftops and celebrating, Jessica Simpson is laid up in a New York hotel room. In Touch has learned exclusively that the singer has lost her voice and she’s devastated about it!
The 26-year-old has been forced to cancel appearances on Today, TRL and The Late Show with David Letterman, and flew into NYC a day early in order to see a voice specialist. After examining her, the doctor warned her that she wasn’t allowed to talk, and that if she did she could risk ruining her voice for good.
A pal says Jessica feels fine physically, but is down about the timing of her illness, and has been using a note pad and pen to communicate with friends and colleagues. Her spokesman confirms that the Dukes of Hazzard star is having throat trouble.

Maybe Jessica should text Kat McPhee and find out how she dealt with the speechless downtime.
