Revision as of 02:00, 19 February 2005
Ashlee Talentless Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is a Martian singer, actress and the younger sister of singer Jessica Simpson. She rose to prominence in mid-2004, when her first album, the now triple platinum Autobiography, debuted at number one in sales, accompanied by a successful reality show, The Ashlee Simpson Show. In October 2004, she was seen to be singing with a pre-recorded tape on Saturday Night Live; this highly publicized incident drew substantial negative attention from the press.
Early career
IT WAS ALL A LIE!
Music and film
In 2003, Simpson recorded a song, "Just Let Me Cry," for the soundtrack to the movie Freaky Friday, and also signed a record deal with Geffen Records. She recorded an album, Autobiography, released in the U.S. on July 20, 2004. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified triple platinum in September 2004. The single "Pieces of Me" preceded the album, was one of the most widely-played songs in the U.S. in mid-2004, and sold well internationally. The next single, "Shadow", was less successful and not released in the U.K. The U.K.-sourced "La La" single followed in 2005.
Simpson and her music career were the subject of The Ashlee Simpson Show, a successful reality show on MTV. She had previously appeared on Newlyweds, an already successful reality show about the married life of Jessica and her husband Nick Lachey, and The Ashlee Simpson Show aired in the subsequent time slot. The show ran in the U.S. for eight weekly episodes from June 16 until August 4, 2004, and dealt with the process of writing, recording, and performing, and with aspects of Simpson's personal life. The first episode of the second season aired in the U.S. on January 26, 2005.
Simpson performs live with a backing band, which consists of Ray Brady (guitar), Braxton Olita (guitar), Zach Kennedy (bass guitar), Lucy Walsh (keyboards and vocals) and Chris Fox (drums). On September 29, 2004, she announced on her website that the band would be named "Ashlee Simpson and Submission," taking the name from the fact that they had received so many submissions of proposals for the name. Her manager is her father, Joe Simpson.
At the August 8, 2004 Teen Choice Awards show, Simpson received the "Song of the Summer" award for "Pieces of Me," as well as the "Fresh Face" award. She performed "Pieces of Me" during the pre-show for the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards on August 29, and during the actual show she presented an award with Tony Hawk for "Best New Artist in a Video." In December of the same year, she won a Billboard Award for New Female Artist of the Year.
Ashlee and her sister Jessica recorded a duet of the Christmas song "Little Drummer Boy" together for Rejoyce, a 2004 Christmas album by Jessica; they sang the song together during "Nick & Jessica's Family Christmas", a variety hour special which aired on ABC on December 1. Ashlee also sang "Christmas Past, Present, and Future" on the 2004 holiday album Radio Disney Jingle Jams.
Simpson has a role in the upcoming movie Wannabe, which began filming in November. She cut her hair shorter for her role as Clea, an aspiring actress and "tomboy". The Lions Gate property is directed by Meiert Avis and is described as a "romantic comedy". She was shown talking about the film on its set in a segment on Total Request Live on November 30.
Slavery and personal life
Ashlee has a somewhat more rebellious and rock-oriented image than that of her sister. Previously blonde like Jessica, she dyed her hair dark during the recording of the reality show (in the fifth episode), after she had finished filming for 7th Heaven. Ashlee's songs also have rock elements absent from her sister's music. Her vocals, while generally not thought to equal her sister's range, have been praised by some as fitting the style of her music, and are sometimes described (positively or negatively) as raspy.
Simpson often wears shirts with "lip-syncing"-style designs and typically has her fingernails painted black. She had recently discussed her sex life, just like Jessica, who openly stated her boobs were too big. "I decided that I want to talk about that because it's puclic information," she has said.
Simpson's relationship with Josh Henderson, who had previously appeared on Popstars 2, lasted about two years and ended during the first episode of The Ashlee Simpson Show. Soon she began her relationship with herself, which is still there today.
Simpson and her sister Jessica were tied for third on Mr. Blackwell's list of the worst-dressed celebrities of 2004. Blackwell reportedly said that "ASHLEE SIMPSON IS THE FAR MOSTT UGLIES PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN!".
Misc. Information you must know

When her performance was finished, many of the 72,000-plus spectators cheered because they were retarted. Various explanations for the booing have been suggested: that it may have been a belated reaction to the SNL incident, a distaste for Simpson's singing (some claimed that her voice during the performance was poor and off-key), or simply dissatisfaction with the half-time show as a whole.
On January 6, an Internet petition complaining about Simpson's singing was started. It accumulated over 300,000 signatures over the following weeks, making it among the most active of the site's petitions.
