That felt really strange to write. It’s like, when did this world become a place where Jessica Simpson could tell anyone “hey, you have a drinking problem”? I guess it happened when Ashlee Simpson started looking a little bit like a heartless bitch and also started guzzling “eight to ten bottles of wine a week.” Yeah, probably somewhere around then.
From Star via Celebitchy:
Jessica Simpson has staged an intervention for her troubled 26-year-old sister, Ashlee. Ashlee is in the middle of a painful split from Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, 32, with whom she has a 2-year-old son, Bronx. And reportedly, she’s not handling it well.
“Ashlee is downing eight to 10 bottled of wine a week,” a source reveals to Star. “Jessica is on a mission to save Ashlee from self-destructing, and she told her to funnel her angst into songwriting.”
Knee-deep in wedding prep, Jessica has even enlisted her fiancé, Eric Johnson, who has been helping Ashlee craft songs.
“Jessica has also been writing with Ashlee, but refuses to take any professional songwriting credit,” adds another insider. “The biggest reward for Jess will be seeing her baby sister bounce back.”
I’ll accept that Ashlee Simpson drinks ten bottles of wine every week. I could see that. But the bit about Eric Johnson, Jessica Simpson’s fiance who used to play football and go to business school, helping Ashlee write songs? That’s just too bizarre in an oddly adorable way, isn’t it?
I believe Star this time around, but what about you guys? Do you think Ashlee might be downing nearly a dozen bottles of wine every week, or do you think this is just more tabloid nonsense?
The simpler question is, “do we care about any of it?” I, for one, would raise my hand for “no.”
who wants to take bets about how long it will be until we see an article about how Eric and Ashlee are hooking up?
hahahahahaha! so 1 bottle per day? please, come back to me when she’s drinking 8 or 10 bottles per day. hahahahhaha. *wipes tears of laughter from eyes*
Why isn’t Papa Joe stepping up and helping his daughter? Is Ashlee not making enough money for him to care about her anymore?
