On Monday we heard a rumor that Ashlee Simpson, newly fired from her starring role on Melrose Place, is reportedly heading to Broadway to reprise her role in the stage musical Chicago. In what might be confirmation of this Broadway rumor, new pics of Ashlee Simpson rockin’ a newly dyed hair’do have come to light … behold:

This darker, edgy hair’do looks less like the Roxie Hart character in Chicago and more like, well, the Ashlee Simpson that we all fell in love with when she released her debut album all those years ago. You know … I miss that Ashlee Simpson … you know, the one who had stains on her t-shirt and who was the big-gest flirt? Remember?? The fun, pre-nose job Ashlee?? I am not ashamed to admit that I love her album Autobiography … sigh. Ah well, whether she’s headed to Broadway or not, Ashlee‘s got herself a hot new ‘do. I approve, she looks great.

Yep, I do like the hair. I guess she’ll wear a wig to play Roxie.
Much better than blonde! Love it!
Autobiographty is by far her best album….I can listen to it the whole way through….amazing!
i actually liked the red..but im not hatin on this either
I’m not feeling it. It’s the kind of haircut that requires you to either sweep the hair out of your eyes with your hand or by whipping your head back CONSTANTLY. Annoying to have and extra annoying to witness.
But, I guess since Pete shaved his head, one of them has to have emo hair. I think it’s in their pre-nup.
She looks mannish to me….But I love all of her albums and not ashamed to admit it!!!
i’m not ashamed to admit it either haha i have and love all her 3 albums i can never choose if i like autobiography or i am me better… anyway.. lol she looks great and i really like her haircut and color it looks cute on her :)
EMO~
I really like the Autobiography album too. She should make another album.
Hair looks great, she should work on her posing, though. This neck extended thing is too weird.

You DYE an Easter egg, not your hair. You COLOR your hair.

She looks good. Best as blonde though. Autobiography is one of my favorite albums ever! Aw reminds me of high school. She needs to do another album, this time with john shanks again, no more timbaland.
Personally I really liked the red on her but this doesn’t look bad. Reminds me a bit of Pete’s old her though which I find funny.
EP, I had no idea there was a difference! ;)
I liked her old nose. It’s a strange thing to say but I think it gave her face a bit of character.
Who’s Ashlee Simpson?
There isn’t a producer anywhere near Broadway that would cast this non-talent.
She cant sing a note and is a stiff and un-natural actress.
They should just stop kicking this dead horse. She hasn’t got it.
Her first album was manipulated marketing. Did you know that Amazon.com received over 300 false positive reviews for that album …..the day before it was released? You didn’t hear about that because Geffen paid to make it go away.
She is a total fraud.
In the know you’re obviously not in the know, as Ashlee was amazing when she played Roxie in London! you can’t really say she has no talent!
did you even see her in it?
@ Trent: I LOVE that you loved autobigraphy! And I’m loving how many other people are saying it too! I used to blast it on my half hour commute to my summer internship. I figured it was such a guilty pleasure haha, glad I’m not alone on that!
