Ashlee to Playboy: No Thanks!

TMZ has learned that Ashlee Simpson has turned down a $4 million offer to pose for Playboy.

Ashlee Simpson
In Touch Weekly first reported the offer, and said the pop star was considering it. TMZ spoke with Rob Shuter, Ashlee's publicist, who confirmed that Ashlee did indeed receive an offer to pose in the legendary men's mag -- but turned it down.

A source close to Ashlee told TMZ the offer was big -- $4 million to be exact.

A newly glammed Simpson is currently on tour promoting her recent album, "I Am Me."

1. Ashlee is crazy for not accepting that offer. $4 MILLION is alot of money and it's no way in hell I would have passed that up. Even if I was rich as hell. I would've had legs gapped open smiling hard and looking flawless all the way to the bank. She probably turned it down because of her parents. My parents just would have been mad.

3. I'm guessing it's because her album has been out for so long, this one just dropped this spring and that's when Playboy should have made the offer. So they could both benefit. When it comes to a career in show business an artist should only do that in cohesion with something they are trying to promote as in an album that's do out 2-4 wks after the magazine comes out, not 3-6 months after the album has dropped; it makes her look desperate or as if her album sales are good. Doing the magazine spread right before the album drops makes her look as if she is re-inventing herself, showing that she is all grown up. As for what her parents think, I don't think her dad she be her manager. Money and blood don't mix like two dicks and no chick find your self in serious s&@#!

5. I find it hard to believe Playboy offered her that much for Ashlee. I wonder what their source would say the offer was for. I just don't know of many guys that would increase Playboy's circulation for her. Nothing against her at all it just doesn't seem like her name comes up much.

6. I just love how people always over analyze everything. It's very simple.... Her father and or parents would have her ass in a sling no matter how much money she has made the family. I will tell you this... If she learns how to dress everyone will see how sexy she really is and why Playboy offered her 4 million dollars.

7. I think she did the right thing. Integrity is a terrible thing to waste.

8. she is such a fake how are you gonna tell a reporter that girls should not be ashamed of thier bodies and then go get plastic surgery. So her parents will let her do that but they wont let her pose she is over 18 she can do whatever and if she can get her nose fixed and her lips dont then what's the difference. We see most of her body anyways cause of they way she dresses whats the difference if its in a magazine. Oh and did anyone see Jessica on the cover of Maxim she looks like she is posing for playboy too!

9. Why don't they offer the money to Star Jones?

10. Could it possibly be that Ashlee realizes that, at this early juncture in her carreer, such a move would be harmful to her carreer. Consider how long it took for carrers the likes of Madonna's and Cher's to mature before they went down that road.

11. Since her transformation, Ashley looks hot! Better than her sister! Has anyone noticed how Jessica doesn't photograph well unless she is air brushed and posed? Look at her recent pic on the red carpet where she is standing next to Eva Longoria. She looks terrible.

13. There was a playboy exec on Howard Stern once that said they allow 'celebs' to inflate the amount of money offered to them so they can save face but Playboy has never really paid more than $1mil for photos. So, I doubt she was offered $4mil! Her people are just letting us regular folk know how much she is wanted now that she's had more plastic surgery than Pam Anderson!

14. I have a hard time believing that PLAYBOY wanted ASHLEE SIMPSON that bad, I mean, every guy I've ever seen talk about her, on TV and in my life, thinks that she is hideous, it just doesn't make sense.

15. I have a lot of repect for anyone who can say no to pose for a porn mag. I don't care or ashley as a performer and I don't know her personally, but I repect her for it. Porn is immoral, unspiritual (Against The Lord) and makes women nothing but meat and sex objects with no heart or soul and no identity. Hefner and all the rest are sick men who have no business doing what they are doing.
