Croaky Jessica’s VMA Party Corker

Jessica Simpson has lost her voice but still managed to throw one of the coolest pre-VMA parties in town on Tuesday night (August 29).

The singer has been diagnosed as having bruised vocal chords and has been ordered to rest by docs.

Her publicist said, "She can croak out a few sentences. She sounds a little off, but you know, she can't sing."

It couldnt have come at a worse time with the release of her new album 'A Public Affair' coming up - but that didnt stop the former 'Newlyweds' star throwing an almighty bash.

She turned New Yorks Roxy club into a roller rink and treated party-goers to a (mimed) PA, dressed in a teeny vintage leotard.

Wonder if shell bring her skates to the VMAs where Nick Lachey and his rumoured new lady Vanessa Minnillo will also be - could be handy if she bumps into 'em in the corridor
