Ashlee Simpson Defends Sister


Since when did a woman's weight become newsworthy...

I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.

All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard.

Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend?

I seriously doubt it.

How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?

Now can we focus on the things that really matter.

i have no sympathy for celebrities.

they get paid millions to do some album or tv show or movie, while there are doctors and nurses (for example) that save lives for less money and no worldwide fame.

they go into the business KNOWING that they will be judged on their appearances, even if its not something we'd do in normal life. you're in the entertainment business - and im gonna talk/hate/criticize on you, just get over it. i hate when celebs think they can have their cake and eat it too.

I agree in the sense I find anyone who complains about their job so much annoying.

Dear Ashley,

Your sister is still an asshole.

Love, Me.

*Ashlee

Whatever. Her parents are assholes for spelling her name like that.

Okay, I need to go to bed, I'm fucking cranky.
[info]azuraskye 28th-Jan-2009 03:56 am (UTC)
exactly.
[info]drawntoinsanity 28th-Jan-2009 03:49 am (UTC)
its fox news. what do you expect?
[info]ledgers 28th-Jan-2009 04:42 am (UTC)
I find it interesting Fox News would sight ~one of their own~, really. Isn't Jessica a Republican? Obviously Ashlee isn't given the way she opened her blog.
[info]ledgers 28th-Jan-2009 04:42 am (UTC)
*slight
[info]paula3000 28th-Jan-2009 07:35 am (UTC)
What's funny is I don't watch Fox news, but saw Jessica's weight being discussed on all the local Dallas stations (ET, TMZ, Insider). Wonder why she singled out Fox news?

[info]gingerslam2 28th-Jan-2009 03:49 am (UTC)
this bitch swears anyone's still writing headlines about her sister
[info]grammariscool 28th-Jan-2009 03:49 am (UTC)
ashlee, honey, jessica hasn't been a size two in... ever.

[info]anjoliena 28th-Jan-2009 03:50 am (UTC)
She's pretty short so it's pretty believable she was a size 2 at least in Dukes of Hazard and earlier
[info]grammariscool 28th-Jan-2009 03:52 am (UTC)
i dunno, i'm 5'4 and i'm a size 3 in jeans, 2/4 in dresses, depending on the brand. i don't think jessica's ever been that much smaller than me.
[info]sexy_jill 28th-Jan-2009 03:57 am (UTC)
This is what I thought too. She was pretty tiny back in those days.
[info]drewy88 28th-Jan-2009 04:08 am (UTC)

[info]briecheesie 28th-Jan-2009 07:05 am (UTC)
i hate this bitch, but in her "irrisistable" days she was borderline anorexic. i remember during her "driven" she said she would starve herself - it was sad :/

i remember i owned her first album, which i still occasionally pop in because she was adorable back then, and in the cover art she was a nice-sized curvy girl. and i mean curvy - not overweight in any way, but not a stick. so yeah, it's definitely not natural for her to be that thin lol
[info]richandfamous10 28th-Jan-2009 07:08 am (UTC)
seriously, stop saying size 2's are getting criticized, cuz they're NOT!
[info]crazyfruitlady 28th-Jan-2009 10:48 am (UTC)


She's probably a size 00 there.
[info]thejuishgirl 28th-Jan-2009 03:27 pm (UTC)
word. plus she could have made her point better if she'd said something realistic like, oh, 4 or 6. are celebs buying their clothes at pick-your-size-label unltd?
[info]mchinadoll 28th-Jan-2009 04:13 pm (UTC)
I don't know....when you see celebrities in real life they are always a significant amount thinner than they appear on TV. It probably moves you up a dress size on camera. She's about 5'4.....maybe a size 4 now?

I lol at that because even her own husband brought up Ashley's weight gain on Howard Stern. When did it become newsworthy? idk go ask your husband.
[info]dealatedwren 28th-Jan-2009 03:49 am (UTC)

I agree. But I don't think she is a size too either. Unless, designer clothing is totally different then my awesome department store getups.
[info]homefry9785 28th-Jan-2009 04:01 am (UTC)

it's crazy to see that in 05 that Oprah had abs.
[info]_self__portrait 28th-Jan-2009 04:01 am (UTC)
but did she really
[info]keepyourguns 28th-Jan-2009 03:51 am (UTC)

[info]spacenaut 28th-Jan-2009 03:52 am (UTC)
Looks like she's wearing padding in that purple get up. :/
[info]behindthechalet 28th-Jan-2009 03:53 am (UTC)
it looks like she's cupping her own boob.
[info]deathcabparami 28th-Jan-2009 03:57 am (UTC)
was she really that in shape?
[info]proxy 28th-Jan-2009 04:00 am (UTC)
Oprah stole those abs from someone else.

I do not believe that's really what Oprah looked like in 2005. Her head doesn't match!
[info]littlebones 28th-Jan-2009 02:10 pm (UTC)
it looks like new oprah is grabbing old oprah's boob.
[info]itswhoremones 28th-Jan-2009 03:50 am (UTC)
I really like Ashlee, always have.

Me too.
[info]fortunatefool__ 28th-Jan-2009 03:50 am (UTC)
A size two? Really? I mean, I think she looks fine, but a size two she is not.
[info]hepburngal 28th-Jan-2009 04:21 am (UTC)
she really is, I saw her in person recently. the problem is that she is both curvy and petite which needs to be fitted exactly right, or else you can appear extremely unattractive. also, she's not heavier than usual, she's just not insanely toned like she was 4 years ago. She's 28 years old, for Heaven's sake, too. Plus, that photo is taken with the lens pointing upwards, which makes the subject look heavier than in actuality. Similarly, it is oddly cropped.
[info]ladyofmachinery 28th-Jan-2009 05:39 am (UTC)
I'm a size 2 and I'm ridiculously thin and petite. A size 2 she is definitely NOT
[info]partygarbage 28th-Jan-2009 07:11 am (UTC)
no, you're absolutely wrong.
[info]richandfamous10 28th-Jan-2009 07:12 am (UTC)
look at her arms. she is not a size 2. maybe she WAS. but she is not in this picture. it doesn't matter, stupid ashlee....everyone is going to think she is dumber than she already is because of her size 2 comment...
[info]eurolymius 28th-Jan-2009 05:49 am (UTC)
HUGH HAT!!!
[info]clairesy_poo 28th-Jan-2009 06:18 am (UTC)

[info]amelancholyme 28th-Jan-2009 03:50 am (UTC)
Mom jeans are no one's friend. Plus, yeah, your sister is a tool.
[info]knoxjoliepitt 28th-Jan-2009 03:50 am (UTC)
just had to throw in that she was a "size 2" didn't you, ashlee
