Biography

Edit

Already an accomplished dancer, Ashlee Simpson began to act in television commercials after the family moved to California as a result of her older sister's (Jessica Simpson) record deal. By 2001 Ashlee had begun her acting career in film and television, appearing in 2002's The Hot Chick and the family drama series 7th Heaven.

In 2003 Ashlee recorded "Just Let Me Cry" for the soundtrack to the film Freaky Friday and her recording career began. After signing a record deal with Geffen she released Autobiography in 2004 spawning the hit singles "Pieces of Me" and "La La". Reviews were mixed but the album was finally certified triple platinum and she received several awards including a Billboard Award for New Female Artist of the Year.

In spite of a controversial botched lip synch incident on Saturday Night Live and being booed by 72 thousand spectators at the Orange Bowl, Simpson released her second album, 2005's I Am Me, undaunted. The album failed to perform as well as her first; though it had debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts sales evaporated fast.

Third album, Bittersweet World was released in April 2008 to a lukewarm critical reception, debuting at No.4 in the charts but slipping fast to the lower reaches.

Congratulations to the Wentz family who are celebrating a new addition after Ashlee Simpson-Wentz gave birth to a baby boy on Thursday. It's a first child for the 24 year old singer, who married Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz in May, and all are reportedly doing fine. Following the ages-old tradition of musicians giving their offspring kooky names, the parents have named the child Bronx Mowgli Wentz. A spokesperson for the family said "Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" It's not the first time one of New York City's five boroughs has inspired a newly blessed celebrity couple -- David and Victoria Beckham named their first son Brooklyn -- but if this is a trend, let's hope no-one is silly enough to christen their newborn Staten Island.

With a new album in the stores and myriad marketing ploys to best, how on earth does the canny music star trump her rivals? Getting married seems to be the gambit of the season with Ashlee Simpson, Scarlett Johansson and Mariah Carey all tying the none-too-tight celebrity knot. Whether the ongoing clamour of the glossy celebrity magazines is enough to sustain the momentum of sales remains to be seen, but it is (thankfully) diverting attention from the less than ecstatic reviews about Scarlett Johansson’s debut effort, Anywhere I Lay My Head.
