Ashlee Simpson Takes A Licking, Keeps On Existing

OK, I can tell you guys are sick of the obscure indie rock posts. Let's talk about pop shit. That's what the Bloggie nom was for, right? (Thanks y'all!)

The second season of Ashlee Simpson's reality series premieres this Wednesday and no one's more excited than YOU (and maybe daddy Joe). MTV.com's got a sneak preview of the premiere. Watch Ashlee's voice get raspy and stomach get acidic in the hours leading up to her infamous SNL hoedown.

RiiiiickSpeaking of SNL, shouldn't they just rename it Amy Poehler Live already? NYC Poehlerheads can see her in the flesh at the MercyCAT Fundraiser on Wednesday. Not only does it benefit tsunami victims, but it might be a good time to fly your Paris Hilton sketch ideas by Horatio Sanz. You can download Saturday's Update here. AMY: [To Rachel] Ludacris wants a Diet Snapple Root Beer.
TINA: I don't think they make that.
AMY: Well she better find it cos it's fo' Ludacris.

For more funny girl talk, hit Aaron Gothamist's interview with Samantha Bee. Halfway through, you'll want to watch Samantha's hilarious interview with Ed Heeney (not for the homonausic of heart).

Well yea it is a given that they would craft the show to deflect the fact that she is a phony. Daddy Simpson isint as stupid as he looks. Well ok, maybe that was too nice, actually he is as stupid as he looks.

none of those obnoxious people are as funny as they think they are, and amy poehler isn't funny at all. snl is watched by default more than anything else.

Thanks for the link to the Samantha Bee interview. It answered some questions I had, like how on earth do people allow the Daily Show on their premises with cameras?

if you posted a lot of posts about obscure indie bands, maybe I could get bored of it, but as far as I can tell you barely ever do. unless of course you count bright eyes, the arcade fire and beck as "obscure indie" in which case, yes please, enough of that.

I've loved Amy Poehler since she played Andy Richter's little obsessive sister on Conan....She's great, by far the best thing on SNL right now.

Hmm..actually I don't find SNL funny anymore. Maybe it's just me, but it's just not that damn funny. Mad tv used to be good too...where the hell is my saturday night humor when I'm trying to sober up has gone?

Its just not as funny as it used to be. They need more comic hosts instead of little teen queens. They also need better musical performers. Maybe Tina Fey needs to step down as head writer, cause I think she is obsessed with Lohan, and thats just not that funny.

I happened to catch SNL this last weekend and couldn't stop laughing at the music store skit w/Poehler.
Somebody could have been blowing smoke up my ass but I was told that Poehler is David Sedaris's sister. Personally, I don't see any resemblance.

Amy Sedaris is David's actor-sister and she is not Amy Pohler! Look her up on imdb.com, she's been in some big movies.

Yeah, Poehler is getting more poehpular on SNL, to the point where there was an almost applause at the start of the 'Rick-Rick-Rick' skit.

Ashlee on being dragged to the Stones CD section at Virgin Megastore/Tower Records:

"Umm, these guys are like, old, and not really that good looking. Which one has Satisfaction on it again?"

RE: Amy I loved her in Wet Hot American Summer I thought she was hysterical as the snobby talent show coordinator . That was a very funny movie. I have to say her Madonna impression is pretty dead on. I don't liker her on Weekend Update though

RE: Asshlee I was at Duane Reid last night and I noticed that Glamour Magazine named her their fun fearless female of the year. And I was reading on Page Six over the weekend that Lucky Magazine yanked her from their cover.

To add to my post re: Asshlee. Of course cause I'm a total dork and I'm a glutton for punishment I picked up the Glamour Magazine and read a little bit of the Asshlee interview and one of the questions that was asked was how are you and Jessica alike. And Asshlee's response was that people think that she is a total tomboy cause she sings "rock music" but really she is just like Jessica in that they both like girly things like spa days and manicures and pedicures.

This is fucked up because over the weekend I was watching an old Ashleeee show that was on the MTV marathon and she was trying on dresses and heels, etc. while Jessica and Mom watched saying they liked whatever she was wearing and she was like, "But it's so girly. I'm not girly. I hate girly things. I like pants." etc. etc.

I have to agree with those people who say SNL has gone downhill. Amy poehler may be the funniest one on the show, but that's not giving her much credit. She did make me laugh in "Mean Girls" though when she asked the girls if they wanted alcohol and did that crazy thing with her eye.

Its all in the Glamour interview! Either the media is starting to have some sympothy for Asshlee or Daddy Simpson's payroll is wide reaching.

Yeah Amy Pholer was pretty funny as the mom in Mean Girls. It was pretty funny when she walked in on her daughter and her boyfriend and she was offering them condoms.

SNL is hit or miss these days. Same with Mad TV I find.

I couldn't sit through the 1st 1/2 hour of S-N-L Saturday. I think I laughed a total of 1 time, and that was at the played and played again gay commercial.

Sam Bee is really funny! Love her!

Hey if Daddy Simpson wants an idea for his next project. Maybe he should do a modern take on the musical Gypsy. With Jessica as June and Nick as the dancer that she runs off with and Asshlee as Gypsy Rose Lee aka Rose and Daddy Simpson playing Daddy Ron instead of Mamma Rose.

well i think that ashlee simpson is well ashlee, i dont think she really knows what her image is yet, i think at the beginning of her career she tried SOO hard to not be her sister, and be "edgy" so now shes screwed cause she is also girly, and on the snl i completly LOVE SNL, its the funniest show i think , and i like amy pohleor and i dont think tina fey should leave she is soooo hilarious, when will ferral hosted it was hilarious,
