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."

91. Yeah, it's true. $4 Million IS a lot of money. In fact, it's a CRAP LOAD of money, but to her, her self-respect obiously means much more to her than any amount of money. People need to get off her back and mind their own buissness. Ashlee's young, trying to get to know who she truly is. So she goes from "punk" to "pop girl", so? Everyone has had their own little stages. Im not a fan of hers, i simply think that people need to get off her back.

94. People need to get over her "transformation." I have a lot of respect for her for not accepting this offer. Sure, $4 million is a lot of money. In fact, it's a !%$& load of money, but to her, her self-respect obiously means a lot more than any amount of money. Playboy magazine is nothing but a magazine that exploits women. Im not a fan of Ashlee, but i do admire what she did now.

99. I think it's very disturbing how many people here label men and women who are comfortable with their sexuality and sexual desires as "perverts" and "sluts", respectively. Sex should be openly celebrated and embraced by all levels of society, and only the outdated yet still somehow extremely powerful forces of religion are keeping it a taboo.

Religion is a vestigial thought process in the same way that the appendix is a vestigial organ. It was great back when we were all unevolved apes who didn't have the thought process to comprehend natural phenomena on a level other than "God did it." But science teaches us more and more about the way the world works every day, and God becomes more and more unnecessary.

Religion is generally harmless, but like an appendix, it occasionally rots and becomes dangerous. C'mon, society. It's time to have the surgery. Put up the Bible and go out and get fucking laid already.

104. Ashlee is dirty looking and also used to look like a guy before her nose and chin job. 4 million dollars is too much for her, I don't believe it.

105. I think its stupid that some people are saying "its a lot of money, shes stupid for turning it down", Hello?? its not about money, its about morals. I have nothing against playboy, i would probably do it, but some people have different belifes. If she wasnt a celebrity she probably have done it. Most celebs dont wanna be looked at differently.
