Here is the segment of the interview where Ashlee addresses the rumors about "Boyfriend":
SEACREST: I have to ask you about a song that, by the way, is very popular right now. It's getting a lot of airplay on the radio around the country. I play it every morning on KIIS-FM here in Los Angeles. It's called "Boyfriend."
A. SIMPSON: Right.
SEACREST: There are rumors that this song has to do with Lindsay Lohan and Wilmer Valderrama.
A. SIMPSON: Right.
SEACREST: All right, two very famous people in the class of Hollywood. What can you tell us about the song and about its association with those people?
A. SIMPSON: The song is basically the whole idea of, like, "I didn't steal your boyfriend." And it's very junior high, high school, college, and whatnot, the situation. And it's me kind of making fun of something I went through. As far as saying who the song I wrote it about, or whatever, I'm not doing that with this record because I don't have the reality show.
SEACREST: But this could be your reality show today.
A. SIMPSON: That's to your imagination.
SEACREST: But when you hear the song, is there anybody that you picture, specifically? Like when you say, "I didn't steal your boyfriend," who would you picture in your head? I know who I picture.
A. SIMPSON: I mean, honestly, it's just more of like me saying something to, you know...
SEACREST: Are you nervous that that song becomes more and more popular, and somebody might react to it, or might say something about it, or say something to the press to the song and try and stir the fire a little bit, if you will?
A. SIMPSON: No, I mean, I think that it's not about anyone in particular. It's a situation we've all gone through.
SEACREST: You grin every time you say that. And then you look up.
A. SIMPSON: Well, I'll just keep grinning and looking up. But, you know, no, I'm not nervous about that. When I write, I write to have fun. And that song is really kind of poking fun of the situation.
SEACREST: Well, let's - because these albums are very personal, let's talk about your personal life for a second. You've obviously been with Ryan Cabrera, you guys dated, you guys are friends. You guys are not together anymore, right?
A. SIMPSON: No.
SEACREST: What about with Wilmer? You dated him too, didn't you?
A. SIMPSON: Yes.
SEACREST: And are you with him?
A. SIMPSON: No.
