February 28, 2008: Ashlee Simpson Is Not Up the Stick
Comments: 1 | Categories: Celebrities
Ashlee Simpson confirmed for TMZ.com that she is not, in fact, pregnant. And I'm glad. Not because "OMG, why are all of these unmarried twentysomethings having sex!" but because between the two of them, that baby would have a seriously effed up "scene" hairdo.
