When will her PR people figure out that no one likes her?
Since her PR people = her dad, probably never.
I guess he looks at the fact that he promoted and sold a talentless idiot once and figures he can do it again.
Jessica Simpson is not a talentless idiot!
Agreed in part.
Jessica Simpson is not talentless. She is, however, a complete idiot.
Ashlee Simpson is not talentless, either. The big problem is that her douchebag father is trying to "diversify" his management portfolio by packaging Ashlee as a "punk bad girl." That way, he can tap into 2 distinct pop market segments. On paper, it makes sense, since Jessica has already developed a following in her market segment.
Problem is that it just does not work. The image concocted by her father does not fit Ashlee Simpson.
Too many people remember her as the babysitter on 7th Heaven for her to pull off her new goth whore routine. As trite as this may sound, people demand a certain degree of "genuineness" in their celebrities.
Ozzy was what Ozzy "sang" about.
Johnny Cash was what he sang about.
Hell... ODB was what he sang about.
Ashlee Simpson is not the person her father packaged her as. No amount of marketing can fix this train wreck.
