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."

230. i think ashlee is a hypocrite. she always says she wants to do the right thing since she has such a young group of people listening and admiering her. but look at her, she seems like a skank. i bet that she will pose soon enough. let the money go up if it was really even 4 mill. i dont know, but she seems like she would do it.

231. u ppl that r being so negative towards ashlee simpson should stop it! it's not like she did anything wrong to u! jst leave her alone!! if she didn't wanna pose nude..then that's her decision and respect it! she's awesome! at least she's not fake unlike her sister

Posted at 2:42AM on Jun 30th 2006 by i love ash!

232. I guess the one positive thing I can say about her is that she didn't lower herself to pose in a Playboy magazine. I mean, when she first started, she proclaimed that she wanted to be "different" from her sister. And now what happens? She gets a nose job, hair redone, and tries to look like her sister...What ever happend to individuality? At least she still has self-respect.

233. Ashlee is beautiful and if she poses or don't pose is her decision. Playboy is not pornographic by-the-way...in the true sense of the meaning, that's just one man's opinion. Ashlee looks better now than she ever has ... at least as good as her sister. 4 million is a great deal of money as is 1 million. The limelight of an international magazine would help her career. She sounds OK but not great or even good and Jessica's voice leaves alot to be desired. I would spend part of the money to perfect her voice and singing style. Jessica's style is similar to Nick's which is decent for a male singer ... but not great.

234. I'm glad that ashlee turned the playboy thing down. playboy is full of sluts and whores who make money being sluts and whores. her integrity would've been wasted on that mindless bimbo job! plastic surgery is not a bad thing. my friend's mom had a nose job because she couldn't breathe at night. she was beautiful before and she is the same afterwards!

235. That pic looked nothing like ashley . honestly, who really cares? WHO CARES who's in Hef's mag. Either buy it or ignore it. Your choice, but honestly who cares if she does it cuz thats her biz not ours

236. all i have to say is that ashlee smpson for one is not cute aleast to me but she is dumb for not accepting that deal it's only pics. what can a guy that buy the mag do. I would look at much different if they was asking her to do a porno but for the sake of god she is over 18 for one she need to break out of her shell. And last but not least she better be lucky anybody want her ugly ass in there mag.

237. whatever
she shouldn't even have gotten plastic surgery
i doubt she'd be where she is today without her sister
she sounds so much like all the other pop stars out there
however, as for the playboy offer, i support her decision
being objectified for the rest of your life isn't worth $4 mil
plus, where will she be when some younger, newer star rises that is more apt to please playboy's readers?
yeah, she'll have money
but in today's america, that's all we care about
money money money
look at shows like 'fear factor'
eating a cow pelvis and jumping out of a burning car is hardly worth 10k
i've talked enough
you have my opinion
end.

238. From a business point of view, Ashlee was pretty smart not to pose. Her album and music are marketed more towards a younger audience, or a market composed of mostly females. As a common figure on the Disney Channel, parents and women probably would look down on a porno shoot. Four million bucks is a lot, but losing a good portion of her fan base could be detrimental to her career as a singer/actress. As much as I would love to flip through the pages of Ashlee Simpson's nude photo shoot, I think, for now, it was a smart thing for her to do. I feel future opportunities could be a possibility.

239. She did the right thing, perhaps. It was the best thing to do if she wanted her music and basically she as Ashlee Simpson to be taken seriously. Playboy's getting cheap and tacky, anyways.

240. A friend of mine works at Playboy and they did indeed offer her 4 million. Other celebs have been offered different amounts but the least they'll offer a celeb is $1 million sonce they get the big bucks......
Ashlee is HOT right now. She's on the top of her game and for Playboy to score her would put their sales through the roof!
Men everywhere would drop the $5 to get an issue (even Christians since Ashlee is a Christian).
Ashlee's hot.....there's no getting around it. People have their "opinions" but they know the truth. Jealuosy is an ugly thing.
Ashlee did Blender a few months ago. She looked AMAZING! She's got the body of a goddess.
Jessica has done Maxim two (maybe 3) times and each time she's looked great. Now I think she should do Playboy. Why not? The way she dresses she leaves nothing to the imagination so......
