Ok, so last time we saw Ashlee Simpson embarrass herself with her music she was on stage moving her lips on SNL, wait no she was getting boo’d off stage at a college football game. Either incident you look at will fail by comparison to her upcoming project. According to the NY Post’s website Ashlee’s new album will cover some of the great songs by the king of pop Michael Jackson. Wow, not only would it be hard for a talented singer to cover Michael’s work but an average singer like Ashlee will realize it’s damn near impossible for her to sound anything like Michael. According to the NY Post website Joe Simpson has been working on new angles for Ashlee’s career and this was his final gameplan. Not even a couple blunt’s deep would make me think that was a good idea for Ashlee just due to the fact that people are going to hear a Michael Jackson song and hear Ashlee’s voice and the first thing that will come to people’s minds is… kareoke anyone? Sorry Papa Joe, but this isn’t a smart financial move because Ashlee Simpson fans probably have no clue who Michael Jackson was aren’t that stupid. This blunt’s for you Ashlee, good luck, sorry Papa Joe none for you because this idea just doesn’t make sense to me.

UPDATE: Soon after news of her upcoming cover cd began making rounds on the web yesterday she tweeted the following

“Haha jeez. I loved mj enough 2 never to in my wildest dreams think of doing a tribute album. R.I.P. A legend. Enough with the goofy stories!”

Ok in May when the rumors surfaced I didn’t actually believe Jessica Simpson would do a VH1 reality show because everyone knows VH1 is where you go when you’re career is dead looking for money. I was wrong, Jessica Simpson has signed on to what VH1 is calling a “docu-series” titled “The Price of Beauty”. The concept of the show is basic, cameras will follow Jessica and her friends as they travel the world to show the lengths women go to for beauty all awhile investigating and participating in their dietary fads, beauty regimens, and apparel. So basically they pay for her to travel, shop, and get in shape. As you know Jessica has experience in the reality show department with her former husband Nick Lachey on MTV but how will she fair jumping to VH1?

“When I was approached for a show about true beauty, I was immediately intrigued,” Jessica said in a statement. “I have always believed that beauty comes from within and confidence will always make a woman beautiful, but I know how much pressure some women put on themselves to look perfect. I am really looking forward to discovering how beauty is perceived in different cultures and participating in some of the crazy things people do to feel beautiful. I know we will all learn a lot on this journey.”

What she fails to learn is that her father/manager has done a shit job with her career thus far. I say that because Joe Simpson is signed on to executive produce the new reality show. I don’t know who’s to blame for her garbage cd for her being on a VH1 reality show but I know that if the show isn’t a hit (which it probably will be) she’s one bad single away from a new season of “The Surreal Life”. Jessica this tokes for you, you’re going to need it.
