Fugger: Ashlee Simpson

Fug or Fab: Ashlee Simpson

I am a little concerned for Ashlee’s career prospects that the only thing on her IMDb page right now that’s upcoming is something called Pawn Shop Chronicles, starring Paul Walker, Elijah Wood, Brendan Fraser, DJ Qualls, Vincent D’Onofrio, Thomas Jane, Matt Dillon, Chi McBride, Michael Cudlitz, and… basically, all of them are listed before her on the movie’s page, so I’m guessing her part is not that big. I worry about this every time we’re at Fashion Week, because occasionally she’ll pop up somewhere and somebody will ask what she’s up to and we’ll overhear a very polite but vague answer about how she can’t wait for her fans to find out and she hopes they’ll be happy. It must be very challenging to come up with different ways to say, “Yeah… nothing, really. It kind of sucks. Call me, CW.”

But I’m happy to report that she at least looks dramatic, in what I think is a good way:

My indecision is chiefly the matronly size of the sweetheart neckline, and then the feathers at her waist:

Were the Emmys underattended this year? It feels like we usually drive this boat until at least Thursday. I guess that’s what happens when they don’t air on FOX and Glee isn’t nominated. That’s about thirty people right there who stay home in their jammies.

Fuglee Simpson

I will give Ashlee here props for the fact that a) I love her bob, and b) this isn’t NEARLY as bad as it ought to be considering that she’s essentially wearing pajama shorts.

But girl: THOSE ARE PAJAMA SHORTS. You are fooling exactly no one. If this were paired with skinny jeans, or even a solid miniskirt of some ilk? Sold. Cute. This just looks like you got home from your 9 a.m. chem class, ripped off your pants, put on sleep shorts to go back to bed for four hours, and then woke up and threw on shoes to go to the dining hall before it closed. PLEASE treat your pelvis like a valued member of society.

SAG Awards Fug /Fab Face-Off: Glenn Close vs Ashlee Simpson

Jan 30, 2012 By Heather AT 12:00 pm

I’m not going to lie: I primarily threw these two in together because the idea of them in some kind of fight TO THE PAIN gives me the giggles. But they did both wear black with tulle, so it’s not TOTALLY random. Let’ start with Glenn.

That is… not flattering, and also, probably some very damp net sleeves after about ten minutes in the sunlight. Overall, it’s very, “Come on down to the Black Swan Saloon, where we serve crazy by the jug.” And to think, I was certain that I’d be done with Black Swan jokes by this time in my life. Maybe this will finally be the last one.

Also swaddling her shoulders in tulle: Ashlee.

Fug or Fab: Ashlee Simpson

Okay, look: Ashlee did the crime – the haircut (oh, THE HAIRCUT)– and  now she’s doing the time, and in the end the system is working for her: It’s settled into something that kind of works.

I mean, I’m not doing that thing where suddenly I feel a stirring need to replicate it on my own head — I’ll leave it right where it is, thank you — but she’s sort of relaxed it into something that’s not trying as hard to be hip, or rebellious, or a giant middle-finger to somebody that ended up backfiring on herself. It’s getting used to itself, basically. (Although I think she should go back to being a redhead. Gingers unite!)

Let’s take a better look at the dress, though, shall we?
