Poor Ashlee Simpson!

While she has the happy news of her wedding and this baby to cheer her up, her music career is in the crapper!

Ass is going on tour this summer, and she is playing state fairs and House of Blues venues across America.

Ouch!

Simpson just went on a club tour earlier this year, and when she toured her last album, she played LARGE venues.

Now, she's at a House of Blues near you!

That must hurt.

      maybe it's because she's pregnant. people can't be jumping and boppin' about when they are in their first trimester, and esp in their second. it's just dangerous. I'm sure it was a conscious decision my dear.

Please Perez, please.

      I'm not an Ashlee "fan", but I have to say that her new album is great. Definately her strongest yet. I think everyone should just give her a break

      Ashlee's album is her best yet and probably one of the best albums of the year! ! Wish people would focus more on her music and not on her personal life!

      instead of having plastic surgery to look like her sister she should have saved her $$$ since she has no real talent. at lease her dad can pimp out her new family for a little extra income.

      32

      i have seen some of my best shows and favorite bands at the house of blues.

      what the hell are you talking about? it's a nicer smaller venue. delightfully intimate with the artist.

      I don't even like her but I have to admit that her last album is not bad at all.
      i mean it's not any worse than some of the current successfull albums out there.

    43. synergy says – reply to this


      43

      it's not just ashlee's career that's int he crapper.. it's the whole music industry.. it's the u.s. economy. people are losing their homes…losing their jobs… and paying nearly $5 for a gal of gasoline…

      people aren't going to concerts

    44. joanna says – reply to this


      44

      Her cd is actually pretty good. It's got an 80's inspired theme. It's not her best but people should give her a chance. At least she's not her sister…talk about a fuck up. she goes out there and is different and true to her self. How far do you expect her to get with her father and sister in her life…they're ridiculously pathetic. I think Ashlee is amazing.

      46

      ok here is what i say. Fuck her. I really couldn't give two shits. BUT i would rather go see someone play at House of Blues rather than a stadium. Just because a band or singer sells tickets to a sold out stadium doesn't mean shit in my book. Real singers have the balls to sing infront of small crowds. God perez…you or so one sided, what you say goes…huh? Well whatever, i have never listened to her cds but she's playing music where she can, so i guess her heart is in it. and in reality, isn't that the way it is supposed to be? Oh wait, no no…we are supposed to do what YOU think is the popular thing

    47. jw says – reply to this


      47

      I have to agree, the CD is good..it is one of her best I feel and it should be bigger than what it is..Just Like Janet's CD..people need to focus on the music instead of the personal…

      Perez, she is coming to Pompano Beach, FL on June 21st. FYI! Got my tickets :D

    54. rerun says – reply to this


      54

      Uh, when was playing a House of Blues a bad thing? With the right ticket price and artist, they can make upwards of 30K a gig (if not more). I hate Ashlee Simpson BTW. Also, saying 1st is fucking lame.

    55. Geminat.com says – reply to this


      55

      oh bitch please! There is nothing wrong with playing smaller
      venues…Prince does it all the time.

      I know I know…the bitch ain't Prince.

    56. Cool and the gang says – reply to this


      56

      her cd did do crap, but nearly every album on the billboards charts in the top 10 did crap as well. The only album that did well based on sales was E-MC2 Mariah.

      Ashley only sold 50,000 copies 1st week sales but that put her album in the top 10 for that week! The music industry is declining thats why, no one is buying albums anymore.

    57. Lulu says – reply to this


      57

      Well what would she expect? Everyone knows now that for sure she's a shitty singer and it was only the techs in a studio making her sound half decent.

      personally, I prefer seeing concerts at the HOB's. Way more up close and personal than arena tours. Of course, I still wouldn't pay to see her…

      64

      Smaller venues are sometimes a choice, and are more intimate, personal and can be a lot more fun to tour.

    65. natalie says – reply to this


      65

      perez she didnt tour large venues last time she went to small ones, i saw her at the house of blues in myrtle beach in 2006 - her last tour. dur.

    66. lslsl says – reply to this


      66

      May be she is not singing at a large venue because she is pregnant. Perez only sees from his own view. Whenever he does not like someone, he says bad things otherwise, he writes good things.

    67. CillaLuvzU says – reply to this


      67

      Theres nothing wrong with the House Of Blues…It's legendary…
      Some artist pefer to do small more intimate settings to sell that album.

    68. lbo says – reply to this


      68

      what are you talking about? i've seen BOB DYLAN at the house of blues. it's an incredible venue. but let me clarify something: i'm in no way, shape, or form comparing no talent asslee simpson to the one of the greatest songwriters there ever was and will be!

    69. lauren says – reply to this


      69

      Yep. She's pregnant alright. They gotta schedule around her tummy showing. The Simpson family is such a sad family. No talent. What so ever!!!! I'm glad Tony got rid of jessica. He probably couldn't take it

      first lol

    71. gared says – reply to this


      71

      Why would that hurt? Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know she was never a huge music success/star to begin with. Was there ever a time she was selling out huge arena's? So I don't see why playing state fairs' & House of Blue's being a step down, it's simply where she's at. One day if she makes it big she will move up to real venues.

    72. Shelby says – reply to this


      72

      She is coming to HOB on June 16th! I know I am going! Even though her music career may have gone "down the drain" as some people say, I still like her music & if she is coming to Myrtle Beach, I'm coming!

      73

      Cape Cod Melody Tent ROFL!

      That is where acts like Gallagher II and the 1 remaining temptation play.

    74. Urie says – reply to this


      74

      Actually, a lot of really good acts have played the House of Blues and the venue has nothing to do with how good an artist is. Panic at the Disco, Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound and Phantom Planet have played several HOBs throughout the country and smaller venues and that has nothing to do with the way their musical carreer is going. Stick to what you know, Perez. It's definetely not music.

      Much love,
      BBU

    80. Anna says – reply to this


      80

      Just so you know perez, Ashlee performed at the house of blues during her last album tour so perhaps that is just a venue she enjoys. Many artists value the intimacy of small venues more than massive impersonal concert theatres.

    81. kiera says – reply to this


      81

      I really like the cd… Its really good!!! everybody should check it out …

    82. Courtney says – reply to this


      82

      Freedom Hill Amphitheatre is *not* a state fair but an outdoor arena. It's not a huge stadium but it's respectable. Granted I dislike Ashlee, it's not that bad. Also, it's "Sterling Heights, MI" not "Sterlin"

      …learn how to type Perez and proof read your shit. I swear if you keep it up your site isn't going to last too much longer…along with your constant bad attitude which doesn't help either.

    83. mandystarro says – reply to this


      83

      aSHLEE KICKS ASS! her music is sweet, always has been..and why does it matter which venues she is playing in as long as they're filled? She's awesome! I love her..Her 'Outta My Head song should've got more credit..anywayz..i know perez likes asslee and she just needs to know she kicks ass :)

    84. grus says – reply to this


      84

      She has no talent…that is all that I am going to say. There are millions of musicians out there that are talented, but don't have the money and she gets to continue being an "artist". Let's just say that money talks in a real big way. Her new nose makes her look even more fake.

    86. Todd Michael says – reply to this


      86

      Perez,
      You're website is so depressing. You equate success with mainstream success and that is a terrible message. You bash people for their looks in a way that is unfair and inhumane. If you write all of this, and stand by all of this, you are a very VERY judgmental person.

      Maybe Ashlee Simpson like to perform. Maybe she loves it. It's what makes her happy wherever she gets to do it. Why do you have to rub it in her face that she's not making as much money as she once did? There are plenty of bands that have had mainstream success, but no longer do, that continue touring. Because they love to do it.

      If you love to bash people in this horrific way, than you certainly are entitled. But I hope you know, I don't find your website entertaining anymore. It makes me sad and angry.

      Besides, you are fat and ugly and MEAN! I bet Lance Bass is nicer than you 10 fold.

      T. Michael.

    87. Todd Michael says – reply to this


      87

      And I completely agree with Courtney, that your site is not going to last much longer. And neither are you!

      haha house of blues are soo nice. ashlee has said multiple times she'd RATHER perform at a smaller club to interact with her fans more. sure she could never sell out arenas but she's doing what she can and TONS of huge artists play these types of venues so suck it perez.

      ps im going to the chicago houes of blues date :)

      94

      Re: Courtney

      Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights MI is such a shitty venue. She probably can't move tickets so the label probably thinks if they sell out a 2000 seater it'll be a big deal. Like, "Well she sold out 5 dates on her last tour." She needs to go away. Singing isn't for everyone…

    95. Michelle Renee C says – reply to this


      95

      Did it ever occur to you that maybe she IS pregnant? and touring everywhere might not be a good idea? Another scenario, (and you are not her management team, so you can only assume) is tha she wants to play to small crowds. House of Blues is still cool in my book..I think your blog has become full of hate, pettiness, and jealousy….95th!
