What Exactly Is Ashlee Expecting?
April 15, 2008 10:55 AM
For a girl who’s been almost absent from the news since her MTV reality show went off the air, the scandal surrounding her lip-synching quieted down, and the dust from her nose job settled, it’s pretty much the perfect storm of PR.
One: Ashlee Simpson and longtime boyfriend Pete Wentz announced their engagement last Thursday via a statement on friendsorenemies.com: “We are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. We consider this to be a very private matter, but we wanted you to hear it straight from us.”
Two: Monday, Usmagazine.com reported the 23-year-old singer is pregnant, citing an anonymous source. OK! magazine added that the couple’s first child is due in October, quoting an unnamed friend: “Ashlee would like to walk down the aisle before she’s showing -- although she's very cute the way she's always checking out her belly now and asking everyone, ‘Am I showing yet?’”
Within hours, Wentz, 28, e-mailed MTV News denying the reports. “There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood," the Fall Out Boy bassist wrote. “This is all news to me. I can't wait for the story about how I'm really in a gay relationship and this is all just a cover. ... I mean really, this is crazy. ... I mean we're engaged, that's true, and happy about it.”
Asked again if he is denying reports that Simpson is pregnant, Wentz replied, “Yeah.”
Three: Simpson’s third album, her first in three years, is due to drop April 22, the same day her collection of clothing debuts at Wet Seal.
What do you think? One big coincidence or PR ploy to get Jessica Simpson’s little sis some attention?

She has already stated that she IS pregnant. Update your "stories" now-and-then..........The really sad part is, the kid will come out looking like her BEFORE the surgery. Ah, there is justice in this world.

Isn't this Idol-wannabe's 15 minutes up yet?! When you're the B-sister to a B-entertainer, doesn't that make this kind of news trivial?

Really, just who cares about her or whether she's pregnant. Just make her go away!!

Why all the snarky comments. If you don't like her or her music why bother to click on the story in the first place? It makes all you guys sound like a bunch of jealous, mindless idiots.
I, myself, don't care whether she is pregnant or not. It doesn't matter. As long as they are happy, that's all that matters. Why do reporters always have to go after blood? Leave them alone.

I happen to be a FOB fan. Ashlee is okay, I've never been a huge fan of her work. I don't care if she was having 5 kids at once from Pete, I still wouldn't go and buy her CD b/c I don't like her music really. If I wanted to hear one of her songs I'd just d/l it from the internet, listen a few times and delete it. No amount of scandal/publicity is going to make people begin to love her music if they don't already.

I wonder if it bothers her that she's knocked up and NOBODY cares. It was cool when Brit and Jamie did it, but no one cares about Jessica's not-pretty, no-talent sister. Have a million kids; makes no difference to me. Talk about hopping on the trend bandwagon. Ashlee: Being knocked up is SOOOO last season! Get a new face; those are always fun.

Urgent check out the above link to an April 11, 1008 Washington post article about Robert Egan called Kitchen Diplomacy.
What I don’t understand is how Egan’s Lawyer who is a active United States Army Jag officer in the New jersey national Guard, Mark Winkler from Franklin Lakes N.J., gets to keep close ties with this guy on a personal basis above and beyond attorney client relationship. Egan Brags in a September 2007 Vanity Fair article about how his lawyer keeps him on the right side of Trading with the Enemy. And Egan’s Lawyer for years has bragged to many people about how Egan may have passed uranium enrichments secretes between North Korea and other Diplomats from the Middle East that know Egan and Winkler and eat at Egan’s restaurant. It is astonishing how this Winkler Guy gets money from Egan for his role in aiding Egan by representing egans asylum seeking communist defectors Egan foots the bills pays legal fees for and supplying Egan with military access to vital information from fort Dix such as the location of nuclear facilities, troop movements and strength reports. This is far worse than what Radical human rights attorney Lynne Stewart did who were a civil rights attorney who claims she has been falsely accused of helping terrorists. She was convicted of aiding and passing unauthorized information to hand from her client (the blind sheikh) thru the media. Winkler’s actions are far worse and to add insult to injury, Winkler attacks any military officer that dares to question him about his conduct and files false harassment charges against anyone that gets close to stopping him. Winkler’s also taught his client to do the very same thing and his client has filed numerous false harassment charges against anyone that disagrees with his behavior as a preemptory attack on the person’s credibility. Egan has pursued false charges against the Hackensack police department over the years all with the help of Winkler. Winkler was interviewed in 2007 by the FBI and military intelligence officers on fort Dix about his behavior and failure to disclose his ties to the amateur diplomat on his security clearance applications which is a requirement for renewal every 7 years. Winkler has such close personal relationships with military lawyers on fort Dix namely his close female friend who is a new jersey Deputy Attorney, General Dianne DiGiamber Deal who is currently mobilized on military duty on ft did new jersey and runs the ft dix military legal department. Due to her influence the lawyers and officers on ft Dix NJ that they will do and say anything to protect Winkler and target anyone in the military on ft Dix who tries to stop him. Since they have aided and abetted his criminal activity by failing to report him over the years, you will not find one military lawyer on ft Dix that will give him up. Keep pressing the issue and you will find that there is a great deal of threat to our national security behind Egan’s actions. God bless your courage on this one and please be careful. Without full media attention backing you up you may find yourself in grave danger. Start small by notifying TV news reporters via email on fox and cnn networks about egans story then when that gets picked up notify them who egans lawyer is which is easily verifiable by contacting the Hackensack police department chief’s office, then keep on blogging and you will see that others will provide you with more leads

She annouced on a celeb club 'm i l l i o n a i r echats.dotc om' that they got engaged just because she got pregnant.I think she will make a good mother.

Interesting enough. I've seen many pregnant news at the celeb site "mill ionairecupid" c o m in the past months. Spears, Jessica, simpson, and so many cele brities are listed there. The not-pregnant is also popular? Maybe in the following days we will see more and more not-pregnant news at these celeb sites.
Posted by: Jimmy | Apr 16, 2008 10:00:52 AM
Well, it would seem to me that the tabloids are the ones who are making it a pr ploy, not Ashlee. Maybe that is why people should remember that gossip rags are not news.

I don't think she is truly pregnant, because if she was Pete wouldn't have said a thing. An if she really is pregnant, then I hope it looks more like pete than her.
