Ashlee Simpson Comes Out Swinging
The Showbuzz's Judy Faber researched and wrote this story.
Ashlee Simpson puts up a fight in the video for her brand-new single, "Invisible." The song, written by Simpson and produced by Ron Fair, does not appear on her most recent album, 2005's "I Am Me."
"Invisible" is a guitar driven mid-tempo rock song about dealing with phony people. In her best tough chick voice, Simpson defiantly sings: "You're the one who looked right through me/Now you're saying that you knew me/When I was invisible."
Simpson stepped into a boxing ring recently to film scenes for the video, which she said is inspired by the Oscar-winning film "Million Dollar Baby." The video and an accompanying episode of "Making of the Video" will premiere June 19 on MTV.Listen: "Invisible" - Ashlee Simpson
Luckily, Simpson's opponent in the video didn't land any punches to what appears to be a newly slimmed-down nose.
When Simpson was asked by The Associated Press recently if rumors about her undergoing cosmetic surgery were true, she simply giggled and said, "Maybe — who knows!"
The singer kicked off a U.S. tour last week; it wraps on July 29 at the DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston, Mich. She probably won't be lonely on the road because her boyfriend, Braxton Olita, is a member of her band.
Simpson's first album, "Autobiography," was released in 2004 and sold 3 million copies. Her second offering, "I Am Me," debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in October.
