Ashlee Simpson's tour organizers should take note: China is set to pass legislation banning lip synching in public performances.

The new legislation is being passed after the uproar created when the Chinese Olympic organizers pulled a little C+C Music Factory action, and touched the hearts of millions by putting a cute girl onstage to lip synch while a slightly less cute girl actually sang backstage. Apparently, that's not cool.

When the law takes effect, violators will be shamed via publicly released lists. Kind of like a list of people who write bad checks posted at a crappy restaurant. Brilliant! Singers who violate the new law twice in a year will have their performance licenses revoked.

Does this mean that China is building an army of super-talented vocalists who will one day flock overseas and take American Idol by storm? We can only hope.

Also on Lemondrop: Lip-synching may be outlawed in China, but at least they can still make awkward faces while they're dancing. Check out these hilarious shots of people caught mid-boogie.
