Jessica and Ashlee Simpson together on Teen People magazine
The December/January issue of Teen People, on newsstands November 4th, will feature both Jessica and Ashlee Simpson — the first time the sisters have ever appeared on a magazine cover together!
For Ashlee, it’s clear that she is now in charge. “I’ve had to learn that my voice is the most important one,” Ashlee asserts. “Otherwise I’ll drown in what everyone wants me to be.” Ashlee also talks openly about her now infamous debacle on Saturday Night Live. “It’s like people saying I can’t sing when I know I can,” says Ashlee. “Yea I messed up in front of everybody,” she continues. “I love to sing. It’s a joy to me. I don’t do it for anyone else — I do it for me.”
Jessica speaks candidly about her tumultuous year and the never-ending pursuit by the paparazzi. “They run red lights to catch me,” she says. “One time they almost hit this mom with a baby stroller!” Jessica also opens up about seeing a therapist. “Yes, I have,” says Jessica. “I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren’t an entertainer.”
Jessica, who has spent the last few months denying reports of an impending split from husband Nick Lachey, tells TEEN PEOPLE: “Hopefully mine and Nick’s story will continue for the rest of our lives, like what we vowed, through sickness and in health.”
Jessica does tell TEEN PEOPLE that these times have brought her and Ashlee closer than ever. Perhaps that’s why it was time to pose together. “We are completely different people, different artists but at the end of the day we love music, we love each other, we love our family, we share a lot of the same interests but a lot of people would not know that until you read TEEN PEOPLE, which I think is very cool.”
“Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are quite different when it comes to their music and their personalities, but loving sisters nonetheless. Each of them has worked with TEEN PEOPLE since before they made it big, so we’re thrilled to have them both on our cover this month.”
