Is the youngest person ever admitted to the School of American Ballet. She was admitted at the age of eleven.
Whilst performing on Saturday Night Live (1975) in October 2004, due to her weak, off-key singing voice, Ashlee was caught lip-syncing when the wrong song began playing during her "performance." She did an embarrassed, awkward dance then ran off stage crying and thus created a media frenzy.
Was nominated for the 2006 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress along side her sister Jessica Simpson. Ashlee was nominated for her performance in the film Undiscovered (2005), while Jessica was nominated for her performance in The Dukes of Hazzard (2005). Neither won the award, however.
Suffered from anorexia as a young teenager.
Married longtime boyfriend Pete Wentz in an intimate ceremony on May 17, 2008 at her parents' home in Los Angeles.

Because of my family, I was very driven and I really wanted to be where I am today.
Image is something that people think too much about. When it comes to style and clothes, it's about feeling confident in what you're wearing.
I knew that if I wanted to do a sappy ballad album I could, but it wouldn't be me. It would be so awkward.
I think that if you love something so much you have to do it. I love music so much, there was no choice.
The first show I did, I was so nervous I tripped during my first song!
