Ashlee Avoids a Direct Answer to Pregnancy Question
Ashlee Simpson stopped by TRL today with a smile on her face and an important line of questioning to address. She was there to promote Bittersweet World, but of course the issue on everyone's mind was the pregnancy rumor. While Pete's denial was more concrete, Ashlee was pretty vague about the whole thing. Maybe she's toying with us, or maybe there is more to the story. She said:
"I just think it's an inappropriate question to ask any woman...For me, that's something that I didn't ever want to respond to, because I think it's an inappropriate question...Some things, you want to keep personal, and I think that when people deny [reports that they're pregnant], it's probably because it's something they want to keep personal."
While she totally has a point, it still seems a leeeeetle bit odd that she won't respond with a simple no. I suppose only time will tell, but until then — has this settled it? Do you think she's not pregnant for sure?
UPDATE — People is now reporting that Ashlee is pregnant and planning to get married next month at a friend's house in La Jolla.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
