Ashlee Ross-Næss[1] (née Simpson; born October 3, 1984),[2][3][4][5][6] known professionally as Ashlee Simpson, is an American singer, songwriter, actress and television personality.[7] The younger sister of singer and actress Jessica Simpson, she began her career as a back-up dancer for her sister and appeared in television commercials at the age of 15. She later pursued a career as an actress and had a main role on the family drama 7th Heaven. She appeared on the reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, broadcast on MTV between 2003 and 2005, which focused on Ashlee's older sister Jessica and Jessica's then-husband Nick Lachey. While working on her debut studio album, Simpson became the star of a spin-off reality series, The Ashlee Simpson Show, which was broadcast on MTV between 2004 and 2005. Like her sister before her, Simpson became the center of considerable media attention.
Her breakout came with her debut single, "
Following her appearance as Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago, Simpson announced that she had begun working on her third studio album. The album differed from the pop-rock sound of her previous efforts, featuring a dance-pop and 1980s-themed sound. Bittersweet World was released in 2008 to positive critical reception, but it saw a decline in sales. The effort reached number 4 on the Billboard 200. The following year, Simpson joined the main cast of the Melrose Place revamp, which was met with harsh critical reception. Later that year, she made her Broadway debut reprising her role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
Simpson announced a fourth studio album that same year. She independently released the single "Bat for a Heart" (2012), though it failed to have success. Simpson eventually scrapped the album and focused on her child. Simpson reprised her role as Roxie Hart for the third time in a 2-dates special production in
Life and career
1984–2002: Early life and career beginnings
Born as Ashley Nicolle, Simpson's parents are Tina and Joe Simpson. She has one older sister, Jessica Simpson. Both she and Jessica attended Prairie Creek Elementary and North Junior High, located in Richardson, Texas, where the girls were raised.[9][10] When she was three years old, she began studying classical ballet. She enrolled at the School of American Ballet in New York City when she was eleven, becoming the youngest person ever to be admitted into the school.[11][12] Though the age requirement for the school was twelve, Simpson's father admitted to lying about her age.[13] During this time, Simpson suffered from an unnamed eating disorder for about six months, eventually receiving treatment from her parents.[14] The Simpson family relocated to Los Angeles, California, in 1999, as Jessica pursued a singing career.[15] While Jessica launched her career, Ashlee began appearing in television commercials.[15] Her father, Joe, served as her agent.[15]
Following the commercial success of Jessica's debut album
2003–2004: Breakthrough, Autobiography and Saturday Night Live incident
It was announced that Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey would star in their own MTV reality series, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.[19] The series, which chronicled Simpson and Lachey's life as a married couple, became a pop culture phenomenon and helped draw attention to the Simpson sisters.[19] Ashlee was a VJ on TRL on MTV in the United States during the summer of 2003.[20] Following the success of the series, it was confirmed that Simpson would receive her own series, The Ashlee Simpson Show.[21] Hoping to end comparisons between her and her sister, Ashlee wanted the series to focus on the recording of her debut album.[22] During this time, Simpson also dyed her naturally blonde hair brown, a decision that received media attention.[16] While filming the show, Simpson appeared in the music video for musician Ryan Cabrera's debut single "On the Way Down" (2004), portraying herself as Cabrera's love interest.[16] The couple later began a romantic relationship, with Cabrera inspiring multiple songs for Simpson's album.[16]
Simpson wanted her debut album to consist of pop-rock music, as she did not listen to pop music.
On October 23, 2004, Simpson appeared as a musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live to promote the album. After suffering from vocal cord inflammation caused by acid reflux on the day of the live broadcast, she lost her voice and was unable to complete the final rehearsals. She decided to use a pre-recorded vocal track as support in the two scheduled performances for the evening.
Her first performance, "Pieces of Me," went smoothly. However, when the band prepared to play the second song, the title track "Autobiography", an incorrectly played vocal track from the previously performed song was mistakenly triggered before Simpson reached the microphone. The vocal track was promptly lowered, but in the meantime, the band also synchronized with the notes of Pieces of Me to mitigate the error, causing even more confusion. Simpson initially reacted with a brief jig, but after about 30 seconds she left the stage. Her band continued playing, prompting the production to initiate a commercial break. Later, Simpson reappeared during the closing credits with the evening's host, Jude Law, saying: "My band started playing the wrong song, and I didn't know what to do, so I thought I'd do a hoedown. I'm sorry. This is live TV. These things happen!"[30]
The incident triggered a strong backlash from the audience and media, and Simpson was accused of lip-syncing.[31][32] Days later, Simpson called music video series Total Request Live and said that she had almost completely lost her voice. Her drummer had accidentally pressed the wrong button, playing the incorrect track and causing the technical error.
A 60 Minutes segment on Saturday Night Live, recorded behind the scenes on the same night as the incident and broadcast the following week, supported Simpson's account, showing her suffering voice loss during the dress rehearsals, and eventually leaving the studio in tears. However, Simpson continued to face criticism. SNL's producer Lorne Michaels stated that he was unaware of the plans of using lip-synching and that if he had known, he would never have allowed it. He also said that Simpson was the only musical guest ever to have walked off stage during a live performance. Simpson said of the incident, "I made a complete fool of myself."[32]
Despite the negative media attention surrounding the incident, Simpson released "
2005–2007: I Am Me, media scrutiny, and Broadway
In January 2005, gossip news outlets began speculating that Simpson and actor

Simpson embarked on her third North American tour, the L.O.V.E. Tour, to further promote her sophomore album. It was announced that I Am Me would be re-released in the following months featuring a new single "Invisible", a cover of a Jaded Era song.[52] The single was released in June 2006 and went on to peak at number 21 on the Hot 100. It became her second single to enter the top ten of the Mainstream Top 40 chart based on pop radio airplay.[53] Eventually, it was confirmed that a re-release of I Am Me had been scrapped. In 2006, Simpson was cast as Roxie Hart in the West End musical production of Chicago from September 25 to October 28, 2006. She received mostly positive reviews.[54] Her performance in the show was described as "dazzling and near flawless".[55] Following her split with Olita, it was confirmed that Simpson was in a relationship with Fall Out Boy band member Pete Wentz.[56]
2007–2011: Bittersweet World, motherhood, marriage and return to Broadway
Following her appearance as Roxie Hart, Simpson confirmed that she had begun working on her third studio album, initially slated for release in late 2007.
In February 2008, Simpson began wearing a diamond ring. She later explained that it was a
In 2009, Simpson returned full-time to television episodes by playing the role of
2012–present: second marriage and television projects
Shortly after her separation from Wentz, it was confirmed that Simpson was in a relationship with actor Vincent Piazza, though the two ended their relationship nearly a year and a half after they started dating.[78] Simpson confirmed during an interview in 2011 that she had begun working on her fourth studio album, which she described as having a "folk feel".[79][80] In 2012, Simpson independently released the single "Bat for a Heart". Though the single featured explicit lyrics and a racy music video, it failed to have any success.[81] The track was written and composed by renowned songwriter Linda Perry.[82] The song received a mixed reception upon its release.[82] Simpson later claimed that the album was developing more of an electronic sound.[83] However, "Bat for a Heart" served as Simpson's final musical release for several years afterward, with no future musical plans announced and her music website being shut down.[84] In June 2012, it was announced that Simpson was filming Pawn Shop Chronicles in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a comedy movie released in 2013.[85][86]
Simpson portrayed the character of Roxie Hart for a third time in the musical Chicago, this time in the Hollywood Bowl production of the show.[87] Simpson's performance received mixed reviews, though she was described as an "audience favorite".[88] In July 2013, it was reported that Simpson had begun dating actor Evan Ross, son of singer Diana Ross.[89] Simpson and Ross became engaged in January 2014,[90] and married on August 30, 2014, at Diana Ross's estate in Connecticut.[91] The couple welcomed a daughter named Jagger Snow on July 30, 2015.[92] The same month, Simpson and her husband filed requests to change their surname to Ross-Næss. Næss was her husband's original legal surname (from his father, businessman Arne Næss Jr.), while Ross was his mother's surname.[1]
In May 2016, Simpson said she was eschewing a possible return to acting in order to focus on making a new album: "I've been writing music with my husband and that's been so much fun, we've just been [trying to] find our sound, we've written like 10 songs but we're going to write a whole bunch more."[93] But in early 2005, her music website went offline—with an error—for months and, as of early September 2018, it remained offline despite her claims to return to music.[84] In 2018, Simpson and Evan Ross teamed up with French brand Zadig & Voltaire and designed a unisex clothing collection titled "Jagger Snow".[94]
That same year, Simpson voiced Strelka in the animated movie Space Dogs Adventure to the Moon, alongside Alicia Silverstone.[95] Simpson also confirmed to Us Weekly that new music would be released in 2019, which appeared to suggest she was working on her upcoming fourth studio album after an eleven-year hiatus.[96]
On September 9, 2018, she was slated to return to the world of TV-reality shows with
In April 2020, Simpson announced she was pregnant with her third child, a son.[101] She gave birth to Ziggy Blu on October 29, 2020.[102]
Public image
Simpson has appeared on the covers of numerous magazines, including the USA's Women's Health, Jane, CosmoGirl, Shape, Allure, YM, Marie Claire, Redbook and Seventeen; Germany's Glamour; Japan's Blenda and Elle; and Russia's Elle Girl.[103][104] She has appeared on several international editions of Cosmopolitan, such as Georgia, Serbia, Russia, Italy, Greece, Ukraine, Slovenia, Netherlands, US and Australia. She has appeared in television commercials for Liquid Ice, HP, Zellers and Pizza Hut. She appeared in print ads for Skechers and ThermaSilk.[105][106]
Forbes listed Simpson as one of the "Richest Young Celebrities", it is reported she earned $8.3 million in 2005. Forbes placed Simpson and her then-husband Pete Wentz at No. 20 on their list of "Top 20 Celebrity Cash Couples" with their $9.5 million combined income.[107]
With the release of Autobiography, Simpson instantaneously became marketed as an "anti-Britney", drawing comparisons to artists such as Avril Lavigne and Fefe Dobson.[108][109] The media noted her "punk-rock" image and style as a contrast to her sister Jessica.[110][111] With the success of Jessica's reality television series Newlyweds, the sisters became household names in the media and became the focus of much attention.[112][113][114] She cites her childhood as being the time when she began to sing and admits that she dreamed of being on Broadway and did not expect to break into the pop music scene.[115]
Vocally, Simpson is an alto with a two-octave vocal range.[116][117] She trains with a vocal coach, and studies Etta James and Aretha Franklin albums for vocal inspiration.[118] She has cited Guns N' Roses, Gwen Stefani, No Doubt, Joan Jett, The Runaways, Madonna, Pat Benatar, Green Day, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, Chrissie Hynde, and Debbie Harry from Blondie as her musical influences.[119][120][121]
