Is that Ashlee Simpson?

103649__ashlee_l Sometime this October, on a London stage relatively adjacent to the one where Harry Potter will soon be taking off his clothes (scroll down, 6th item), artistically challenged poplet Ashlee Simpson will tackle the role of Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago. That's right: The world's most famous lip-syncher since Milli Vanilli has decided it will be a good career decision to do live theater. But wait, that's not all: Compare these promotional pics from the show (at left) with this candid from 2004 this and tell me-- do  you think something other than her voice might be fake?

If you just look at the new face, and not the hair, she is indistinguishable from Natalie Portman!

Jimmy Mon, Sep 18, 2006 at 12:09 PM EST

She looked like a skank before. Now she looks like a pubescent boy. I'd still hit it though, just to say I did.

noneya Sun, Sep 17, 2006 at 08:30 PM EST

matthew is really joe simpson!

Christine Sun, Sep 17, 2006 at 05:54 PM EST

Her facial plastic surgery left her very generic looking. Very sad. It's exactly what happened to Jennifer Grey. She lost all of her distinctiveness.
I have no clue if she had her boobs done, but those photos prove nothing but a good push up bra.

Brucifer Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 05:13 PM EST

A shame. Although she always sounded fake at least she looked real. She was cute with character, and much better looking than her sister. Now she's just...nothing. Sad.

Martha Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 04:39 PM EST

Ashlee used to be a pretty, and fairly distinctive-looking, girl (whatever people said about her talent). Now thanks to the surgery she looks like a dime-a-dozen Hollywood blonde. Pretty sad.

And Matthew, I'm pleased that guys are reacting just as negatively as girls to this news. Sends a good message that everyone is tired of plastic people of questionable talent.

Diane Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 12:02 PM EST

I think she's a prime guest star for Nip tuck.

matthew Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 09:33 AM EST

why is everyone such a hater? i can understand that girls don't like her because they're jealous and lonely, but guys? and aren't they bumping up opening night b/c the producers were so impressed with ashlee's rehearsals?

Ned Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 11:51 PM EST

Looks good to me, in both pictures.

Reina Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 07:55 PM EST

I can't believe the producers think having her in the show will draw the public in. Why else would she be offered the part? I wouldn't mind seeing Diana Degarmo in HAIRSPRAY, but that is a totally different story as Diana HAS TALENT. Maybe they just like no talent, lip synching, horrible looking, American diva wanabees????

Blue4U1980 Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 06:33 PM EST

Oh ... for the love of ... will somebody PLEASE call Satan and let him know that Bob Fosse has suffered enough? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little

Jess Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 06:09 PM EST

If I had tickets for that show... I'd demand my money back. People should boycott!!!

Ashlee's "talent" is fake, and now even her appearance is fake, too. There is literally NOTHING positive that I can say about that girl. Why won't she go away!?

Eliezera Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 05:59 PM EST

One of the lines in the musical
s Razzle Dazzle number
goes:

"Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talent
Razzle Dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise!"


Having Ashlee in the show gives the line a whole new meaning, eh?


BTW...did she also get cheek implants and her eyebrows lifted?
In that pic with her tongue out she totally looks like one of them cheap drag queens with the fake cheekbones and Cruella DeVil eyebrows...

Tekkie B Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 05:47 PM EST

I agree that she looks like a THE SWAN contestant.

But in that second pic from top to bottom, she looks uncannily like Jessica.

Anyway, she looks horrible...fake, fake, fake...

mike Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 04:38 PM EST

1. When did Jessica end up on The Swan?
2. I hope they can CGI her voice on live theatre.
3. Maybe the Roxie pic is K. Heigl from Grey's Anatomy.

Tracy Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 03:59 PM EST

Actually, she's perfect to play Roxie Hart - a no-talent, wannabe desperately trying to get in on the action of her more famous counterpart. Not that Jessica's any kind of Velma Kelly.

Anna Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 03:53 PM EST

Yeah, it looks like a push-up bra to me. What bothers me more is that she looks like one of those kids in Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl video. The ones that are made up to look like miniature version of the women in Robert Palmer's video. There's nothing Roxie Hart about her.

Shel Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 03:10 PM EST

It makes me so sad 'cause she was absolutely beautiful the way she was.

This transformation has zapped her of all her unique qualities and watered her down into another pretty blonde Barbie.

Tess Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 02:52 PM EST

Still laughing Nathan.

nathan Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 02:21 PM EST

Has anyone mentioned to her that she will have to sing in front of an audience during this gig?

california Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 02:16 PM EST

they air brushed the hell out of that picture

Rahul Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:53 PM EST

Maybe she also got some miraculous surgery which gave her vocal talent, and as a freebie they gave her a bigger pair. And fixed up the nose one time for the hell of it. What a natural.

C Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:48 PM EST

It's a push up bra people. Clearly Ashlee has a C cup and she can push those puppies sky high if she needs to. Not sure if any of you are aware, but makeup artists (and drag queens) have ways of making breasts look larger than they actually are. Dark eye shadow in the cleavage area and lighter on top of the breast gives this kind of definition. I'm no fan of Ashlee but I don't think she went for the boob job. Also, that picture of her looking from the back in front of the wall of lights is like a carbon copy of Jessica. I'm sure the British will regret hiring her after a week or so when her "acid reflux" starts acting up.

Brett Colbo Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:47 PM EST

What could possibly be fake with Ashlee?

Her nose? Check.
Her tig ol biddies? Check.
Her voice? Check.

But, I have to admit, she couldn't be hotter than how she looks now. Girl cleans up when she cuts off that rag mullet she used to sport.

Tim Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:46 PM EST

Pretty little warehouse full o' nothin. Talentless, but at least she looks good now. The facial overhaul has bought her another 5 minutes of fame.

Charlie Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:41 PM EST

Either NASA has invented the world's best push-up bra, or Ashlee needs to start confessin' about some (more!) plastic surgery.

Jake Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:36 PM EST

Well, at least we know who's going to win the next Oscar for Best Visual Effects!! That photo has more digital editing than all 3 "Lord of the Rings" movies COMBINED!!

JB Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:29 PM EST

It's sad really, look what living in hollywood and trying to live up to what her daddy and big sis have created has done to her? I wonder if she even knows who that is in the mirror anymore? THERAPY!!!

kenny k Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 01:13 PM EST

I hate Ashlee Simpson and everything she represents, but I gotta say - like her big sis - she is lookin' FFFFFFFFINE.

Reina Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 12:48 PM EST

Sing and the world sings with you, lip-synch and you lip-synch alone!

Nikki Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 12:46 PM EST

I think she looks bad both way's but I'm just not a fan of her's. She has no talent and has a bad attitude. She was in Toronto a while ago and gave such attitude at a Mcdonald's and put her feet all over the counter. What a pig.

jt Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 12:44 PM EST

So it looks like Ashlee visited the same doctor that gave Jessica her smashing figure. Although it looks like she just went for the value meal, while Jessica definitely super-sized it.

At this rate Ashlee is going to look just like Michael Jackson in about 5 years.

marilinda Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 12:43 PM EST

I think she looks beautiful. She's way cuter than her sister, with or without the nose.

cranky Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 12:20 PM EST

That's not Ashlee Simpson. It's clearly a body-voice-dance-looks double.

Tess Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 11:58 AM EST

No matter what picture you are looking at one fact remains....this chick could haunt houses.

dma69 Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 11:43 AM EST

No amount of Razzle Dazzle can save this twit.

Bert Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 11:32 AM EST

Open sometime this October, close sometime this November.

Jim Fri, Sep 15, 2006 at 11:21 AM EST

Talk about given em the Old Razzle Dazzle.. She can change her nose, chin, hair, and chest.. but she's still Ashley Simpson an untalented, lip synching studio clone.
