You know what's refreshing? People who have no talent, tho pretend they do...but KNOW they ultimately don't. Take that Ashlee Simpson girl for example...younger sister of the clueless Jessica (who, without large breasts that made her career would be stuck in some home for the mentally...well, not ill. Stupid?) Anyhow- Ashlee has a TV show on MTV (yes, in this world, if you're related to someone "famouss" you often times think you should be famous too...even if you have no reason to be so. I have seen a few clips from the show, and have seen bits of it on MTV, and she is constantly talking about how awful her voice is. So much so that other shows (E!'s 'The Soup') have aired her clips of her trying to sing, and her reaction, yelling that she hates her voice and she can't sing...and she does so quite often on the show, it seems- in the few clips I have seen, she's constantly doing it.
I think that's a bit of fresh air. A girl who can't sing, who got a contract for a record simply because her older sister is a singer, and in the end- knows she can't sing, and that her "career" will almost surely be gone within a couple short years, or sooner for all we know.
This girl also cracks me up in her complete Jessica-like stupidity. I got some magazine in the mail about a month ago (I can't remember which, nor why I even got it- I get tons of magazines for free), and the girl was half naked throughout. On the cover, it said something about her being nude inside...or out of her clothes or something. So, they have an interview, and she's talking about her family and how they have certain rules with her career, because they're so religious (the biggest joke, especially when their other, more famous, daughter is busy posing as sexual as can be for magazine covers and such), and how she refuses to show her body and her mom is quoted as saying Ashlee is never overtly sexual to her fans- that's one of the family rules. All of this is said above a quote where Ashlee is quoted as saying she has "great tits" and she will probably take polaroids of herself nude for her future husband to show that she once had a great rack...and right next to all of the text is a full page photo of Ashlee with a small t shirt on, small boy-style cammo undies, and high heels...pulling her shirt up a bit, I believe. If that isn't total hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
Not a big deal- 99.9% of so-called celebs are not only totally clueless, but also wholly hypocritical, and completely clueless of the fact that they ARE so hypocritical (at least I hope it's ignorance.) I just find it quite funny...especially coming from the parents- the father who used to be a minister, and their strict religious claims overall. Plus, as I mentioned, the whole refreshing aspect of hacks who know they're hacks.
