Ashlee
Simpson.
Discuss.
Rockin'
role
model
or
pointless
poser?
Who
is
she
really?
Ashlee
and
Jessica
Simpson
have
proved
many
times
over
the
adage,
any
press
is
good
press.
The
Simpson
sisters
may,
in
fact,
be
the
most
fortunate
pop
stars
ever.
Jessica's
career
was
headed
south
when
MTV
recharged
it
with
the
reality
show
"Newlyweds,"
which
documented
the
frivolities
surrounding
her
marriage
to
98°
singer
Nick
Lachey.
Her
goody-goody
image
paved
the
way
for
little
sister
Ashlee
to
carve
out
her
own
niche
as
the
bad
girl.
Ashlee
dyed
her
blond
hair
black
and
got
a
reality
show,
too
("The
Ashlee
Simpson
Show"),
which
documented
the
frivolities
surrounding
the
making
of
her
debut
album.
Ashlee
got
busted
lip-syncing
on
"Saturday
Night
Live"
and
then
booed
when
she
performed
during
the
Orange
Bowl
halftime
show.
Has
that
stopped
fans
from
loving
her?
No.
It
just
makes
them
love
her
more.
Which,
in
turn,
infuriates
smug,
music-know-it-all
parents
and
other
fuddy-duddy
adult
types
who
like
to
say
Ashlee
Simpson
has
no
talent.
No-talent
or
no,
Ashlee
gets
people
talking.
Witness
the
debate
below
between
Observer
pop
music
correspondent
Courtney
Devores
and
entertainment
editor
Mark
Kemp.
