Ashlee Simpson
Ashlee Nicole Wentz, better known by her former stage name Ashlee Simpson and now professionally known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was born on October 3, 1984 as Ashley Nicole Simpson. Ashlee Simpson is an American pop rock singer-songwriter, and occasional actress. Simpson-Wentz, who is the younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson, rose to prominence in mid-2004 through the success of her number-one début album Autobiography and the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show.
Simpson received widespread criticism when she used a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live in October 2004. Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance, Simpson released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in October 2005.
Her third album, Bittersweet World, was released in April 2008. The following month, she married fellow musician Pete Wentz and announced that they were expecting a child. Simpson was born in Waco, Texas, and raised in Richardson, Texas. She is the daughter of Joe Truett Simpson (a former Baptist youth minister who is now her manager) and Tina Ann Drew.
Ashlee attended Prairie Creek Elementary. An accomplished dancer, Simpson began studying classical ballet at the age of three, and was admitted to the School of American Ballet in New York City at the age of eleven.
Around that time, she suffered from an eating disorder; the condition lasted about six months, and she dropped to about 31 kg (70 pounds) at 159 cm (5 ft 2 in), but her parents then stepped in and got her to eat more. After her sister Jessica Simpson landed a record deal, the Simpson family decided to move to Los Angeles, California, where Ashlee began appearing in television commercials.

Ashlee Simpson — Greedy!
ASHLEE Simpson can’t stop eating!
The actress — currently starring in the Broadway production Chicago – says she’s always gorging her favorite sweet treats.
“I always eat. I’m definitely a chocolate girl. I like chocolate. I’ve got these Hershey’s Pieces in my dressing room at the theater, so I definitely snack on those all day,” Simpson told OK! magazine.
“I had Taco Bell last night. I got a Mexican pizza. On my way home, I was like, ‘I’ve gotta go home from the theater, get Taco Bell and go to bed.’”
But Simpson, 25, insists she doesn’t feel bad about her food binges. “I don’t know,” she said.
“What would I feel guilty for? I don’t know. Eating too much? That doesn’t really make me feel guilty though.”
Ashlee Simpson Selling Home
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is selling her Hollywood home.
The 25-year-old singer-and-actress has put the $4 million villa she bought before she married rocker Pete Wentz in 2008 up for sale – because she doesn’t think the five bedrooms will be enough for her expanding brood.
Ashlee – who already has a 15-month-old son Bronx Mowgli with the musician – said: “We’d love to have more kids. I love being a mother. We’re together all the time.”
We’d love to have more kids. I love being a mother. We’re together all the time.
Speaking about his desire to extend their family, Pete, 30, said: “Everything is awesome about being a dad. Eventually we want to be able to have our own soccer team!”
The Mediterranean-style mansion has an open plan kitchen, an upstairs master bedroom suite with matching his-and-her closets, a fitness room and a media room leading outside to the swimming pool and spa.
