Why do Jessica and Ashlee Simpson constantly feel the need to defend one another in public statements to the media? I find myself once again pondering this question after lil’ sis Ashlee’s recent comments about her sister’s weight in Women’s Health magazine.
What I find most irritating is that both of these girls are practically irrelevant. Their careers have been in parallel tailspins for years now. There was a point in time when they both had pretty successful careers, despite neither being very talented — with the possible exception of Jessica’s singing). A talent, however, that quickly fell by the wayside when a reality show that showcased her uncanny ability to say stupid things really made her famous. But since Ashlee’s infamous SNL lip-syncing debacle and Jessica’s divorce (there went the reality show) and subsequent string of awful movies, neither has done anything worth mentioning. But yet, they keep mentioning each other. Genius plot to keep yourselves relevant girls.
So, first Jessica defends Ashlee after she is kicked off Melrose Place by calling the show crap. Which is true, but I didn’t need Jessica Simpson to tell me that. Now, Ashlee is defending her big sis against vicious criticism about her weight. No, I don’t think Jessica is fat and I think all the chatter about her weight was a little cruel. But, that’s the business, sadly. What I find most intriguing about Ashlee’s comments is how she almost calls her sister fat while trying to defend her. First she says, “my sister has an incredible body.” Then she goes on to say how when she gains weight she hopes to look like her sister. “There’s gonna be a time when I’m way curvier,” she says, ”and that’ll be sexy, too.” If that doesn’t sound like a backhanded compliment, I don’t know what does.
Last time I checked, most of the heat over Jessica’s weight had died down months ago. Way to reopen the wound, Ashlee. Well done.
Pretty sure we’ll all stop hearing about them when writers, bloggers and “journalists” stop writing, blogging and “reporting” on them.
Time to take the lead.
Dont read about them then. You’ve obviously done enough research to know every little detail about them.
Melrose is not crap, and you’re obviously suffering from negativistic personality disorder, which is an all around negative temperment and outlook on life and inability to truly enjoy anything (hence why your negative attitude influences your missing out on Melrose, while the rest of us have a fun new show to watch), and jealousy for those who are more successful than you.
MELROSE PLACE IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!!!!
Do you watch MELROSE PLACE? It’s a great show, better than 95% of TV which is absolute crap. (Yes, MP Is great, but the standards aren’t exactly high).
MELROSE PLACE is not so good. The old show used to be better.
Search for it on youtube and watch a clip of the old show…

I wish the Simpson sisters would shut up too, but they never will. They both understand that their careers are leaking details of their personal lives to the tabloids. Nobody wants to see them act or buy their records, so mediawh*ring is all they’ve got.
