Ashlee Simpson's Dad Bans Her Lesbian Scenes


Pop beauty Ashlee Simpson's manager and father Joe Simpson has changed the gay plot in her movie debut Wannabe, because he's uncomfortable with his daughter playing a lesbian. The former Baptist minister fears the star's chances of breaking into Hollywood would be hampered if she played a homosexual, so he ordered movie producers to alter the romantic comedy's script, reports American gossip site Pagesix.Com. He explains, "I changed it. It doesn't work for her to be gay the first thing out. She said, 'But it's cool, it's edgy, it's different,' and of course the filmmakers were like, 'It's cool for a woman to be a lesbian.' She's going to be a huge movie star. She's like Meg Ryan or Cameron Diaz, with probably more depth. When we're done, she'll play it all."

1. She should work...
on her singing and dancing before we are treated to all of her acting "depth".

5. Yeah, I remember how Cher's career took a nosedive after her role as a
lesbian in Silkwood. Good career move, Mr. S.

15. Lets not compare the two
I haven't seen very much talent from young Ms. Simpson. Cher on the other hand has done well in a variety of roles. Cher's abilities have made the characters she plays better.

8. She should knock off the "singing" nonsense and go straight to porn
She can't sing. God knows she can't dance.

I can think of no other detectable talent that she has.

13. If it's a romantic comedy
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 08:36 AM by Khephra
then changing her from lesbian to straight wasn't such an easy thing to do. I'm sure they had to go back and totally re-write the script.

Hey Dad? Next time you want to have input in your daughter's roles, do so before she takes the job, ok? I'm sure the writer(s) who wrote the script are happy to have put their efforts into it only to have you, Mr. Johnny-Come-Lately, screwing with their work.

14. It's really pretty telling..
That the article implies Papa Pimp Joe Simpson's past as a minister is what made him want to put his foot down, when his own quote makes it clear that he doesn't give a damn about his fundie past but only about whoring out his other daughter.

16. Good. Why do hets want to play homos in some sweet cheezy movie?
Let them try it in real life and see how long before they go back to their bedrooms and CRY. Especially if they're men?

Ashlee was never edgy. She's a copycat. Besides, Amanda Bearse and Ellen DeGeneres came out looooooooooooooooooooooooong before this talentless hack had.

17. It's not because the former "Baptist minister" fears homosexuality, it's
because he fears it will hinder the star's ability to "break in Hollywood". What a farce.
