If you want Ashlee Simpson‘s autobiography, just ask her.
Ashlee Simpson, who previously starred on the Ashlee Simpson Show, reminisced about the harsh criticism she faced following an incident in 2004 when she was accused of lip-syncing during her performance on Saturday Night Live. The confusion arose because her hit song “Pieces of Me,” which she had indeed sung that night, began playing before she started singing her second number, which was supposed to be “Autobiography.
On the August 21st episode of Pod Meets World, Ashlee mused, “It seems like a different era to me now. Back then, the level of bullying was truly extreme.
As a dedicated follower, I’ve found myself recounting how the ongoing controversy of the past two decades has left me in a position where I often find myself having to clarify my stance repeatedly, making me feel somewhat burdened and misunderstood.
Ashlee admitted, “For my entire life, I’ve found myself saying, ‘I perform every night,’ to those around me. My supporters are aware, and it’s something I needed to internalize as well.
And that habit in and of itself had her asking herself, “What am I trying to tell people?”
The former star of “7th Heaven” admitted that, like any ordinary person, she’s experienced both highs and lows. Despite temporarily losing her ability to express herself artistically, this does not diminish the authenticity of her creative work.
As Ashlee put it, “That doesn’t mean [I] didn’t write these songs.”
The mother of three children – Jagger Snow (age 9), Ziggy (4 years old), and Bronx (16 years old), whom she shares with husband Evan Ross and ex-partner Pete Wentz respectively – reflected upon how public reactions to similar incidents might have varied between the present and the past, when such scandals could leave a lasting mark on a celebrity’s reputation.
She expressed that things seem different for them now, explaining, “What we had – like magazines and such – is no longer as lasting; instead, it feels more transient.
As a devoted admirer, I must say that Ashlee’s recent remarks echo her previous sentiments regarding the SNL incident, an experience she once labeled as a profoundly humbling moment for herself.
In February 2024, she said on the Broad Ideas podcast, “I believed I had the top song, and everything was heading in a direction, but then it was like an abrupt halt – ‘Wow!'” She expressed that she didn’t comprehend the harsh criticism from grown adults, including men, which left her feeling quite uncomfortable.

Jason Kelce posted on Twitter in June 2024, commenting playfully about someone who meticulously cleans their feet, following an observation that he appears to not regularly clean his lower limbs.
The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.
On an episode of their podcast, “New Heights,” he jokingly remarked, “What kind of unusual individual tends to clean feet?” He further explained, “Should there be any noticeable grime, I’ll vigorously remove it.
More than ten years following Robert Pattinson’s revelation about witnessing a clown’s death in a car bombing at a circus as a child, he confessed that the incident never actually occurred.
In the December 2024 interview with The New York Times Style Magazine, Robert stated that there was no trace of hesitation whatsoever in his voice, adding that he was taken aback and exclaimed, “Goodness me! Are you under some sort of influence?
As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?
At that moment, he clarified that one of the clowns met a tragic end. His miniature vehicle apparently burst into flames. The comically small car unexpectedly ignited, causing quite a shock. In a panic, everyone quickly evacuated the area. The incident was truly petrifying.
Grandma knows best.
Kim Kardashian shared in an episode of The Kardashians, broadcasted in October 2022, how her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell had a significant impact on an intimate moment she and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson experienced.
Pete and I spent last weekend at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where we found ourselves seated by a crackling fireplace for hours on end, engaging in deep conversation. The SKIMS founder shared this anecdote with Kris Jenner, her mother, and Khloe Kardashian. During our chat, I jokingly mentioned that my grandmother believed living life fully meant having intimate moments near a roaring fireplace. In homage to this sentiment, we decided to share such an experience by the fireplace in celebration of them.
Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.
In a less unsettling manner, Kim expressed, “It’s weird to think about my grandma during intimate moments,” to which MJ responded, “Yes, I understand, we were all young at some point.
In the closely bonded family of Mila Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher, which encompasses their 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri, love transcends all barriers.
So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.
In September 2022, she informed TopMob News that the discussion also encompassed the bathroom. She explained that, in their family, discussing bodily functions is quite ordinary due to the casual nature of their household dynamics.
After continuous knocks and requests from her family to enter, Mila eventually agreed, which led her to say, ‘Well, might as well leave the door open.’
Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.
She remarked, “I hadn’t imagined I’d be comfortable enough to use the restroom with an open door.
Ghouls just want to have fun.
During a October 2022 episode of The View, as the panelists discussed footage about a woman claiming to have “sexual ghosts” in her home, Sara Haines posed an intriguing question to the group: “Could a person become pregnant from having sexual relations with a ghost?
Luckily for her, co-host Joy Behar offered a response, saying humorously, “I’ve slept with a few spirits, but I’ve never gotten pregnant.
In response, Whoopi Goldberg simply stated, “I choose not to address that comment right away.
jenna bush hager and hoda kotb share a close bond, though there’s one thing hoda was unaware of about her Today show co-host. During the preparation for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, hoda found out that jenna often doesn’t wear underwear.
During a November 2022 episode of ‘Today with Hoda and Jenna’, Hoda mentioned that they both had to return to the dressing room before the show. However, she realized something peculiar about her co-host, Jenna – Jenna doesn’t usually wear undergarments.
Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.
She mentioned, “It gives a more attractive shape from afar.” Also, she suggested, “There are many advantages to consider since it requires less packing.
Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.
Britney Spears confessed to not recognizing Pete Davidson and Scott Disick, finding herself in a similar situation as Keke Palmer when she famously said about an unidentified person, “I wouldn’t know a thing if he were walking down the street.
Sharing once more on Instagram a funny March video featuring Pete, who was in a relationship with Kim Kardashian at the time, and Scott Disick (ex-partner of Kourtney Kardashian), enjoying a “guys night out.” Britney found their company highly amusing.
I just couldn’t help sharing this again, as hilarious as it was, I still don’t know who the folks in that video are!” – Me, completely smitten fan. (Post later removed)
Before Chris Evans became widely recognized as Captain America and People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2022, Jana Kramer had known him as the charming, adorable guy she went out on a few dates with.
In the past, over a decade ago, I shared some time with an individual, a detail I disclosed during my appearance on the “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” podcast in November. Regrettably, the exact number of our outings together has faded from my memory, but I do have a clear recollection of our final meeting.
At approximately 26 years old, Jana mentioned that Chris extended an invitation for her to visit his home, as he was hosting friends who were in town from Boston.
The latest memory I have is him heading into the bathroom right after me, following my visit where I had an asparagus-scented pee. We didn’t end up together that night. He spent the late hours with his friends, and in the morning, with a distinct scent lingering, I made my ‘asparagus exit’ from his house.
She added, “I never heard from him again.”
Not all of these confessions are amusing.
Eight years following her disclosure about fighting a rare bone cancer, which had been the basis for a plot on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ inspired by her story, Elisabeth Finch, a screenwriter, confessed in December that it had all been fabricated.
Elizabeth shared with The Ankler newsletter on December 7 that she made a huge mistake when she lied at the age of 34. This error continued to grow and became more substantial over time, eventually becoming something she carried deep within her. She also mentioned that she has never had any form of cancer.
In an interview with The Ankler newsletter on December 7, Elizabeth revealed that telling a lie at the age of 34 was the greatest mistake of her life. This deception snowballed and became progressively larger, ultimately becoming something she carried with her deeply. Additionally, she clarified that she has never been diagnosed with cancer.
I screwed up.
Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d be open to sharing my perspective on maintaining a youthful appearance. In all honesty, I wouldn’t hesitate to explore various options – from time-tested techniques to the latest trends – if it means preserving my vitality and radiance. After all, we only get one chance at this beautiful life, and I aim to make every moment count!
In June, she stated, “Given the choice between eating feces daily for a more youthful appearance, I may, indeed, consider it.
During a July 2022 interview with Allure, Kim clarified that her previous statement was somewhat in jest, yet not entirely far-fetched.
Reflecting on it now, Kim remarked, “In truth, I might even consume such a thing if someone said, ‘Eat this bowl of feces daily and you’ll appear more youthful.’
She indicated that she might be able to accommodate a small amount, saying to the source, “Perhaps just a single bite.” She expressed doubts about being able to manage an entire bowlful.
Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.
During a guest spot on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in April 2025, the artist famed for “Save Me” candidly shared an extremely embarrassing moment that left nothing to the imagination.
“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”
However, it’s important to note that Jelly Roll (born as Jason Bradley DeFord) likely wasn’t anticipating such a severe impact.
He firmly asserted that it was only empty air, not solid.”
“Unfortunately, he apologized, as the audience that once adored him had now turned completely indifferent.
