oh ashlee!

Am I the only one kinda fascinated by Ashlee Simpson?
I mean, I’m sure I’m not, if the amount of pictures of her in the celebrity glossies at the checkout counter are any indication…
But am I the only relatively intellectual person for whom she is a source of entertainment and perpetual bewilderment?
And most people seem to get side-tracked by her (I’m totally not surprised or shocked by the break-up at all) sister.
But Ashlee… she’s just so… watch-able.
I am willing to watch her do anything - but I am especially willing to watch her flail wildly and throw temper tantrums over french-fries. I am even willing to watch her sing badly.
I used to have this kind of fascination for Paris Hilton (back when she was a little-known, but much photographed socialite). Before her it was Kelly Osbourne, and way before that I would probably even say it was Drew Barrymore (back when she was cutting her own hair; wearing lingerie to Movie Premiers; and flashing certain night-time, talk-show hosts on-air).
It’s less a obsession, or celebrity crush, and more like going to the zoo.
I mean look at them: they’ve got faces, and bodies, and hearts, and brains… but they do such weird stuff! They’re like, totally not human. You look into their cute little faces, and you think, what’s behind those eyes? What are they thinking? What would they say if they could talk like people do?
The whole Lindsay and/or Hillary thing kinda bores me though.
