BALLZ! Express Yourself With BALLZ!

Wednesday, Dec 19 was supposed to be a big day for Ashlee Simpson. After spending the last year working on a new album, “Outta My Head,” Ashlee’s debut video was set to release to big fanfare. Unfortunately, the spotlight just wasn’t meant to be for Simpson, thanks to the news that Jamie Lynn Spears is with child. “Ashlee can’t believe this happened. She’s so disappointed,” said a source.

“Joe Simpson doesn’t do anything by chance. This date (for the video release) was picked clearly; he expected it to be the talk of the town,” adds the source. “Jamie Lynn didn’t just steal the spotlight; she sucked the oxygen out of the week. This week it’s all about her.”

The fact that Spears’ news eclipsed Simpson’s is a bit poetic, a family friend pointed out. “Her sister, Jessica, grew up in the shadow of Britney; it took years for Jess separate herself from her. How ironic that Ashlee’s big day ends up spent in the shadow of Britney’s little sister,” said the family friend. Ashlee’s rep adds: “[It’s] absolutely not true [that she’s dissapointed]. She is very happy with the video and the great feedback it has been getting. She only wishes Jamie Lynn well.”

“This is the first relationship I”ve been in when I’ve been honest with the person. There’s something that has to be said for two people who are doing something creative. Lots of time you can feel like you’re baby-sitting someone in a relationship. I’ve been in relationships when I’ve signed autographs for fans and the person would get really jealous. There’s a story on the internet saying Ashlee is like that, but it’s just insane. She would never do that.” - Pete Wentz on his relationship with Ashlee Simpson.

Ashlee Simpson is (somehow) on the rise.

In the last year, the 22-year-old Ashlee Simpson girlified her look, got a nose job, had a successful run as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and went from America’s Backup Simpson to Favorite Simpson.

In the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the quote-unquote singer, whose third album is coming out this fall, finally addresses the nose job and plastic surgery rumors, as well as the criticism that she’s copping Jessica’s style, and also dispenses advice for troubled stars like Britney Spears. Here are some of the excerpts.

On her Saturday Night Live fiasco:
“I’m definitely okay with my awkward moments. I’m one of those people who gets knocked down, and it won’t stop me. You kind of learn to be a fighter - but, truly, in my heart, I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone.”

On changing her look and her rumored plastic surgery:
“I loved how I looked. I’m not an insecure person, nor was I before. It’s a personal choice. I believe if somebody chooses to do plastic surgery, it [should be] for yourself. No one else.”

On criticism she’s trying to look more like Jessica Simpson:
“Of course I look like her. She’s my sister. It’s like, God, please! We think it’s quite funny.”

On criticism that her father, Joe Simpson, is an inappropriate stage dad:
“People have the wrong perception of him, because he is a wonderful man. He would never hurt a fly.”
