Common Sense Review

Reviewed By: Jean Armour Polly

Ashlee Simpson may be a very nice person, and she may even have some talent, but you wouldn't know it from this site. Most of the content is blocked from the casual user and does not open until you've registered for the site. This is not the way to make friends, although it's a very good way to harvest names, addresses, phone numbers, and even mobile phone numbers. Watch out. By giving them your mobile number, you agree that they can send you SMS text messages on your cell phone.

What can you get to on the site without registering? There are more than 200 photos in her gallery, multiple entries in her "diary," and a list of news releases and upcoming cover stories.

Remarkably, you can also read a confession from her drummer, who takes responsibility for hitting the wrong button during the infamous "Saturday Night Live" episode where Ashlee was accused of lip-synching the songs instead of singing them live. "All my fault," he says, while in another post in a different area of the site, Ashlee makes no mention of that, and instead blames throat problems due to her "acid refux" (sic).

There is also a music video of "La-La" with its suggestive lyrics:
"You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a French maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream."

All in all, the site offers up little to recommend it to anyone's attention.
