Ashlee Nicole
Simpson, better known by her former stage name Ashlee Simpson and
now professionally known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (born October 3,
1984 as Ashley Nicole Simpson), is an American pop rock
singer-songwriter, and occasional actress. Simpson-Wentz, who is the
younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson, rose to prominence in
mid-2004 through the success of her number-one debut album
Autobiography and the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson
Show. Simpson received widespread criticism when she used a
pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live in October 2004.
Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance,
Simpson released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in October
2005. Her third album, Bittersweet World, was released in April
2008.
Image and personal life
When Simpson first broke onto the music scene in 2004, she was set
apart from her sister's already established image by a different
musical style, different fashion choices, and a more assertive
personality. Simpson's songs have been characterized by rock
elements absent from her sister's music, and, particularly during
the time of her initial stardom, Simpson would often wear outfits
highlighting a more rock or punk-influenced sense of style. Her
fingernails and toenails have often been painted black. Over time,
Simpson has moved toward more typically feminine styles. In March
2008, she said that "I like to get dressed up now, and that's
something I've never been into before" and "I like to be feminine
and sexy." According to Simpson, in her sense of style she tends to
"mix and match".
Previously blonde like Jessica, she dyed her hair dark during the
recording of the MTV reality show after she finished filming for the
7th Heaven television series. In November 2004, she debuted a
shorter haircut with the same dark color. Following the end of her
Autobiography tour, in early May 2005 she moved back to a blonde
color; she remained blonde until January 2008, when she appeared
with a red hair color.
She has seven tattoos:[61] a star on one wrist, two cherries on her
ankle, the word "love" on her other wrist, the number "3" added to
one wrist in 2007, and a large peony flower on one wrist in early
March 2008.
Simpson and her sister were tied for third on oft-quoted
celebrity-fashion critic Mr. Blackwell's list of the worst-dressed
celebrities of 2004. Blackwell quipped that "from gaudy to grim to
downright frenetic these two prove that bad taste is positively
genetic."
Simpson's relationship with actor Josh Henderson lasted for nearly
two years and was shown ending in the first episode of The Ashlee
Simpson Show. Soon after, she began dating fellow musician Ryan
Cabrera. That relationship was also featured on the show, and
Simpson appeared as Cabrera's love interest in the music video for
his song "On the Way Down". The two were reported to have split in
August 2004 due to their hectic schedules, but they resumed their
relationship for a while afterward, before ending it again in early
2005. Simpson said afterward that they were still friends, although
rumors suggested that Simpson did not like the fact that Ryan had
moved on to Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas.
At the beginning of her music career, Simpson said that she would
not discuss her sex life, in contrast with her sister, who had
openly stated her intention to practice sexual abstinence until
marriage. "I decided that I didn't want to talk about that because
it's super personal," Simpson said of the situation.
In 2005, rumors began circulating that Simpson was in a relationship
with Wilmer Valderrama, who previously was involved with Lindsay
Lohan. Simpson's single "Boyfriend" was reported to be about the
situation, but she said that the song "is about [how] every girl out
there sometimes thinks you stole her boyfriend. It's just making fun
of that."[69] Valderrama subsequently said on Howard Stern's radio
program that he had sex with Simpson, but claimed the incident was
unrelated to his break-up with Lohan. Later that year, rumours arose
that Simpson was secretly dating another Joe Simpson-managed actor,
Viva La Bam's Chris Raab. In February 2006, she told Seventeen
magazine that she was dating bandmate Braxton Olita and went on a
10-day vacation with him to Hawaii.
In November 2005, eTalk Daily broadcast a video of a late-night
visit made by Simpson to a McDonald's fast-food restaurant in
Toronto, Canada. Simpson appeared to be intoxicated in the video,
and was shown arguing with an employee, as well as rejecting a
customer's attempt to get an autograph from her because he wouldn't
kiss her feet. According to Simpson in a 2006 ELLE interview, she
was "a little tipsy", and the customer had first called her "gross"
before he had realized who she was, at which point he asked her for
an autograph. She said that she told herself to "grow up" after the
incident.
In February 2006, Simpson was honored by MTV's Total Request Live (TRL),
as the "Bounce-Back" artist. The award was given to her for being
able to recover from the negative moments of her career and release
another #1 platinum album.
Simpson reportedly had a nose job in April 2006. When asked about it
in an interview in May, Simpson neither confirmed nor denied it. In
the May 2007 issue of Harper's Bazaar, she said that she was not
insecure about her appearance and had not been beforehand. She said
that plastic surgery was a "personal choice" that one should only
decide to do for oneself and not for others. Joe Simpson said of the
surgery in a September 2007 interview that "there was a real problem
with her breathing and that was cured". In March 2008, she said that
"as long as people have two eyes" they could determine whether she
had a nose job.
In the June 2007 edition of Cosmopolitan, Simpson said that she
hasn't lip synched since her Saturday Night Live incident, that she
has "a little crush on Christian Slater", feels sexiest in bed, and
that you can and can't have a good relationship without amazing sex.
Simpson was ranked as one of the "Hottest Women in Pop/R&B" by
Blender magazine in January 2007. She was later voted as number 16
in Maxim's 2007 Hot 100 list.
In June 2006, it was reported that Simpson seriously considered but
later turned down a $4 million offer to pose nude for Playboy.
In early September 2006, Us Weekly reported that Simpson and Braxton
Olita had split up. Simpson's rep said that the couple "broke up
about a week ago. They have decided to take a break."
Marriage
Simpson married Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz on May 17, 2008. The
two were first seen together in late 2006; initially they denied
being in a relationship, although there was much speculation about
this. In an interview for OK! magazine in late 2006, Simpson denied
the speculation, while in an interview with Pete Wentz on Ryan
Seacrest's American Top 40 live, Seacrest asked if Wentz and Simpson
were "on" or "off", and Wentz laughed and said "off". In a Rolling
Stone photo shoot, however, Wentz and Simpson took a picture
together for the opening of Wentz' bar, Angels & Kings, and were
labeled as a "couple".
Eventually the two began to acknowledge the relationship. In
mid-2007 Wentz spoke about their relationship to InTouch magazine,
saying of Simpson that "I have never met somebody who makes me feel
the way she makes me feel", although he denied rumors of engagement.
Simpson has since discussed their relationship in a number of
magazine interviews, including the September 2007 issue of Seventeen
magazine and the December 2007/January 2008 issue of CosmoGIRL!. In
March 2008, Simpson and Wentz presented the award for Favorite
Reality Show at the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards.
The couple announced that they were engaged on April 9, 2008.
Simpson had previously been wearing what she described as a "promise
ring" from Wentz for several months. On April 14, Us Weekly and OK!
magazine reported that Simpson is pregnant. Wentz promptly denied
this in an e-mail to MTV News, although Simpson, in an interview the
next day, chose not to confirm or deny the report, saying that it
was something to "keep personal", and on TRL she noted that rumors
claiming she was pregnant had been appearing for so long that, if
they were all true, she "would have had a baby by now". Due to the
marriage, Ashlee has legally changed her name from Simpson to Wentz
with her stage name changing to "Simpson-Wentz". Simpson says:
"I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're
marrying a man. It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."
On May 28, 2008, Simpson and Pete Wentz announced on Fall Out Boy's
official website that they were expecting their first child.: "While
many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the
first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our
first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we
are excited to share the happy news and start our family."
Criticism
Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone magazine criticized Simpson as being a
"manufactured" artist with little singing talent. Simpson's critics
cite incidents like the SNL episode and the Orange Bowl performance
as evidence for their claims.
In mid-2006, Simpson gave an interview to Marie Claire magazine, in
which she was said to have "had it with Hollywood's twisted view of
feminine beauty" and was photographed painting a pro-female mural
with a group of underprivileged girls from Los Angeles's Green Dot
Public School.[91] By the time the magazine hit newsstands, Simpson
had already had her nose job, and some Marie Claire readers
complained about this as being hypocritical. The magazine received
over 1,000 angry letters and the magazine's new editor expanded the
letters section of the September issue of the magazine to give
readers a chance to vent their frustrations.
