"I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me."

Is there an epidemic of phoneys and posers in this country?

Just my own opinion here...It looked to me like those two guitarist were smirking at each other like they had something to do with it. LOL

Shame on her and her manager (good old dad) for trying to keep up with her older sister and pull the wool over the public's eyes. I don't think I've ever heard anything by Jessica Simpson, and I don't know if she is really talented or not. She is very pretty, though. I think the whole frickin' family has been riding on her coat tails..........thud.........whoops, Ashlee just fell off.......

Well, the truly sad thing is that none of this is art, OR expression. It is a package of entertainment. She was put together like a box of cereal. Her management team (parents - ) gets her on a popular show with teens... then they build her fan base. THEN, the let it be known that she SINGS TOO!!! Just like her BIG SISTER, Jessica!!!... BUT, she is not a ballad singer like Jessica... OH NO... she is a ROCKER!!! and is EDGY!!! And all the little girls eat it up... and hey, she isn't so beautiful that she is unattainable like those other big stars... so some of the little boys buy in too! She is just punky enough to have laughable street cred for those who do not know...

but then you put them on a LIVE TV show that can not do multiple takes and you discover what is inside that shiny box of cereal. NOTHING !

The really sad thing is that all of us know REAL ARTISTS... who write their own music or lyrics... they toil away in the clubs and bars around the country and produce some of the most amazing music we have ever heard... and hopefully they will break through. BUT... the machine will continue to produce this SHIT that Ashlee represents... and the fans of this stuff will never know the joy of discovering a true talent... that is too bad.

Don't you think it is interesting that she USED to have blonde hair like Jessica, but went brunette to become a singer? (and do you think it is a coincidence they made her up to look like Chrissy Hinde or Patti Smith, real rocker women?) Total packaging...not alternative at all, but certainly close enough to confuse the youth.

Their is not a shred of coincidence in anything about Ashlee Simpson.

She is as packaged as anything that is produced by Hostess Bakeries.

Ho-Ho, Ding-Dong or Twinkie?

heee heeee.... I seriously did NOT think anyone was gonna get the reference!!!

I wish I had a grand prize to give you!!!

Wait... wait... this just in. Poppa Joe - Manager of Ashlee Simpson has just told Ryan Seacrest on his show on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles the reason Ashlee had to use a backing track for vocals! Are you sitting down? Are you ready for this?

He claims it was due to acid-reflux!!!

bullshit...

Wow... they must really be making bank off of this little pop tart to trott out a load of shite like this! And I can see Ryan now... nodding his head and agreeing to everything!! What a tool Ryan is! heee heeee....

Judging from the photo of Ashlee with protruding breasts accompanying the article, I'd say you and fansince82 were correct on the 'Ho Ho' description. Still don't understand what displaying body parts has to do with singing...

the lungs, it shows she has big, healthy, inflatable lungs.......... .....

aaaahhhh.... the drama continues!

Ashlee ROCKS !!!!

Can't wait to see this.

I thought I saw a commerical for 20/20 on Friday night, where the Stage Dad is interviewed about giving up his profession as a minister or pastor and becoming a manager for both of his daughters. This is should be interesting too. Must be a slow week for the Hilton sisters!

when are we gonna be done with those ho's? Sorry, neither of the Hilton sisters are hot.

oh, and yeah... Stage Dad is a little scary. But it is a little weird for kids to be the big bread winners/products for their families. I think it warps everyone involved.

Ashlee....who???

Excellent metaphor Normandi! Hostess has infiltrated the diets of Americans to poison them slowly with their mediocre junk food, thereby nearly phasing out authentic quality baked goods. Ashlee (and her peers) are the Hostess cakes to our homemade brownies.

oh, and once again, a raucous laugh is in order:

BWWAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Normandi's comments about these two sister being completely designed and fabricated really hit me when I saw Ashlee do her live joke on the Music Awards show. Her outfit, somewhere between the Hilton thing and the Courtney Love thing. Imagine she (or daddy) will be marketing a clothing line soon...'white trash copycrap'. Will expect it to be manufactured in sweat shops in China and sold exclusively at Wal Mart any day now.

Ashlee Simpson's Fans Can Trade In CD

Given that it's been blown wide open that Ashlee Simpson lip-synchs, a New York group is offering her fans the chance to try what they feel is "real" music.

HOPE, or Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment, is giving people who bought Simpson's album the chance to turn it in for what it calls "one of a higher entertainment quality."

Fans who bring the disc to New York's Knitting Factory can trade it in for one by Elvis Costello, The Ramones, X, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell or Brian Wilson.

The 19-year-old singer was busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry, with her manager-father saying that his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.

Joe Simpson added that she's never used the extra help before.

If you're not in New York, you can still get in on the deal by checking out http://www.HopeInAmerica.com
