Ashlee Simpson looks well toned on the new issue of Shape magazine. It has not been determined if she is pregnant or not, although most believe she is. So here is probably one of the last pictures we will see of her before she starts showing off her pregnant belly.
She says:
“I never thought I’d be on the cover of a magazine in a bikini,” the 23-year-old singer tells the mag, but says she couldn’t say no after working out two to three times a week with celebrity trainer Michael Alexander. She also sticks to a diet of yogurt and granola for breakfast, turkey or veggie wraps for lunch and lean proteins like fish and chicken for dinner.
“I try to listen to what my body craves,” she tells the mag. “Sometime it tells me to eat more fruit, but sometimes it tells me to eat Skittles!”
On Friday, April 18th, Ashlee Simpson performed her new single “Little Miss Obsessive” live on Today show.
I would have preferred a lip-synched performance. Perhaps she has nasal allergies? In any case, there’s no doubt Simon Cowell would have ripped her a new one for this pathetic performance. Her pitch was bad, dawg.
No worries, Ash… I’m sure Paula would at least compliment your outfit.
If you’re still interested (and tone deaf), you can buy her new album, Bittersweet World, in stores on Tuesday, April 22nd.
Poor Timbaland. I’m sure even he can’t perform such production miracles.
Ashlee Simpson left much to the imagination when trying to dodge pregnancy rumors on her appearance on Today on Friday, April 18th. Matt Lauer asked Ashlee how she wanted to handle all the rumors, to which she simply responded, “only time will tell.”
Hmmm…
She then took that carefully worded comment as a lead into promoting her album, stating, “I am giving birth to my record…” Her new album, Bittersweet World, is due to release on April 22nd.
Sources close to the couple hint that this whole pregnancy rumor was created by none other then Papa Simpson. He knows just how to work the media. Go on, promote your little cash cow daughter!
It just seems very convenient that all this is coming about on the eve of her record release. Smells fishy, but then again, maybe it’s the reason for a wedding. In the great and wise words of Ashlee: “Only time will tell.”
There has been a lot of speculation lately about whether or not Ashlee Simpson is preggers. On Tuesday, Ashlee avoiding giving a straight answer about the rumors during an interview with MTV, only said, “Some things you want to keep personal.” Pete also made repeated comments to MTV denying the pregnancy. But now we find out they are just a bunch of liars! Silly Ashlee and Pete… don’t you know the truth always gets out in Hollywood??
People magazine, who is known for sharing the legit side of the story, reported the news Tuesday evening on their website. Apparently, a source close to the Simpson family revealed that the two plan on getting married next month at a friend’s house in La Jolla, Calif., north of San Diego and that she is indeed pregnant.
I wonder if Joe Simpson had anything to do with this publicity stunt comment to People?
Well, now we know that she really is preggers, let’s just wait for the announcement from the happy couple!
Ok! magazine and Us weekly have both reported that the reason for Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s recent engagement news was because Ashlee is pregnant.
But in an e-mail to MTV News, Wentz denied the reports.
“There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood,” he wrote. “This is all news to me. I can’t wait for the story about how I’m really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover. … I mean really, this is crazy. … I mean we’re engaged, that’s true, and happy about it.”
Asked again if he was denying reports that Simpson is pregnant, Wentz replied, “Yeah.”Ok! magazine claims that a source close to the couple has “proof” that the rumors are true.
On one occasion, Simpson seemed to be dealing with a “fierce bout of what appeared to be morning sickness” during a lunch at Malibu’s Chart House restaurant.
“Ashlee would like to walk down the aisle before she’s showing,” a source told OK! “Although she’s very cute the way she’s always checking out her belly now and asking everyone, ‘Am I showing yet?’ ”
On Monday, a spokesperson for the couple added fuel to the speculation by declining to confirm nor deny this week’s rumors. “We are thrilled to confirm their engagement and congratulate this happy couple,” the rep told MTV News. “Beyond that there is nothing to add.”
The couple released a statement about how happy they are about getting married, but failed to mention the pregnancy. Like we wouldn’t find out. I am sure that the pregnancy did not play a role in Pete’s decision to propose, right? If it was even his decision at all. I can imagine what controlling grandpa Joe had to say about the matter. Wow–who wouldn’t want to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!?! We all know Petey went straight to Gramps to ask his permission to marry Ashlee, but I wonder if they already knew about her little bun in the oven at that point….interesting….
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are finally engaged. I wonder what Papa Joe thinks about this…I’m guessing he’s not too thrilled. I mean, if he didn’t think Nick Lachey was good enough for his precious Jessica, I can’t see that he’d think Ashlee’s choice was much better….I also wouldn’t doubt that their relationship will last very long as long as Papa Joe is in the picture–he is such the meddling in-law of the worst kind, ya know? Yet, Ashlee is a little feisty and she may have more common sense than Jess than to let her father control her love relationship.
EDIT: Pete seems to have more common sense too as it has been confirmed that he, knowing how overbearing Joe is about his daughters, went to Papa Joe first and asked his permission to marry Ashlee. So maybe this marriage will have a better newlywed period than Jessica’s…OH! They should totally do a Newlywed reality show too!
A friend told In Touch magazine:
“He got down on one knee and she said yes. She has an amazing ring, and they are so in love.”
Ashlee released the following statement on friendsorenemies.com saying:
“We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best.
Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”
Ashlee Simpson is following in her boyfriend Pete Wentz’s footsteps in becoming a fashion designer.
Ashlee is teaming up with Wetseal and designing t-shirt’s for teenage girls that will sell in conjuncture with the release of her new album Bittersweet World.
“I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording ‘Bittersweet World’ and it’s been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs. I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts!”
