Ashlee Simpson’s new album is not selling well, she’s even been outsold by New Zealand’s fourth most popular comedy folk duo, despite big media coverage of her engagement and pregnancy. The pregnancy that I don’t believe exists, despite Ashlee’s desperate attempts to keep the phantom baby alive.
So, what’s a girl to do when the sales are down and your other tactics have failed? Talk about your eating disorder.
She recalls, "When I went to ballet school, I was around a lot of girls with eating disorders, and I actually had a minor one myself.
"It was about six months of not eating too much at all. I was 11 and five foot, two inches and about 70 pounds. My parents stepped in and made me eat."

I wouldn’t really call weighing 70 pounds a ‘minor’ eating disorder, even if you are only 5’2” and eleven. I know that the Body Mass Index isn’t the most accurate way of estimating your healthy weight, but this gives her a rating of 12.8, and anything below 18 is considered underweight, just to give you an idea of how thin that is.
I actually think that when celebrities talk about their eating disorders, they should never give figures as it can encourage girls to copy, when misused by pro-anorexia websites.
Ashlee's new album has had mixed reviews, Rolling Stone gives it three stars, describing it as Eighties-influenced electro-rock.
The danceable beats haven’t obliterated Simpson's affinity for chugging riffs, though they may have inspired some ill-advised lyrics: "I ain't got no beef," she boasts on "Rule Breaker." But Simpson's still her own favorite subject, and she's got an excellent coming-of-age anthem in "What I’ve Become," a paparazzi kiss-off with an appealingly honest chorus: "I’ve just begun to find my way."
