Ashlee Simpson: My Sister Has an Incredible Body

Ashlee Simpson: My Sister Has an Incredible Body

Originally posted 11/15/2009 11:00AM

The Simpson ladies have been through their fair share of ups and downs this past year, but one thing they can always rely on? Each other.

In fact, Ashlee, who's reportedly set to make her Broadway debut as Chicago's Roxy this December following the wrap of her role on Melrose Place, is defending her big sis in the December issue of Women's Health.

"My sister has an incredible body. I feel sorry for anyone who would judge her, because she's one sexy lady," the actress, 25, says of Jessica, who's made headlines for her weight fluctuation. "It's disgusting that people would say those things."


Jessica, 29, meanwhile, already returned the favor earlier this month, when she bashed the writers on her sister's former show. "CW catching up on MP. Who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press," she Tweeted.

Simpson-Wentz tells the magazine that even sudden career shifts don't get her down anymore, especially now that her family is priority.

Guess Jessica Simpson isn't a Melrose Place fan – at least not anymore!

After the recent news that her sister, Ashlee, had been cut from the CW drama, the singer blasted the show on her official Twitter page. "CW catching up on MP," Simpson Tweeted on Sunday night. "Who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."


For her part, Simpson-Wentz was more measured when discussing her character's fate.

"Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill," she said in a statement. "Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity."

In a recent poll, 67 percent of PEOPLE.com readers said they wouldn't miss Simpson-Wentz on the TV show.

Jessica Simpson's rep had no comment.

When it comes to finding the right man, Jessica Simpson wants it all.

The singer, who has been somewhat unlucky in love, tells Extra, "I definitely love a spiritual man – somebody that is going to always inspire me."

And what else? "I love artistic men – somebody that really understands their art," says Simpson, who was once married to Nick Lachey. Adds the star, "I like a confident man."

Call it a definite foul.

After a less-than-sensitive cartoon commercial that mercilessly mocked Jessica Simpson during FOX's NFL Sunday last week, the network and Burger King apologized for the ad.

"Burger King did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp., approved it before it aired,” FOX said in a statement. "Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive, and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended."
