Ashlee Simpson talks plastic surgery

The young star, who refuses to deny or confirm reports she had a nose job in April 2006, insists if people want to change their appearance it's fine as long as they do it for themselves.

Ashlee, 22, told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I don't get bothered by people saying what they say. I'm a happy person and I'm happy with my looks. I'm not an insecure person.
"I believe if somebody chooses plastic surgery it should be for themselves, not for anyone else."

It was claimed last year that Ashlee turned to surgery because she felt like an "Ugly duckling" next to her elder sister, singer-and-actress Jessica, 26.
Ashlee's third album is scheduled for release before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson wants you to forget anything bad you've heard about her father reports MTV. Joe Simpson, who manages Ashlee's career as well as sister Jessica's, is great, she insists. "People have the wrong perception of him," Ashlee said in an interview published in the May issue of Harper's Bazaar. "He's a wonderful man. He would never hurt a fly."

Simpson also said she thinks having more family involvement could help her peers, such as Britney Spears, cope with fame. "I think they should probably move out of L.A.," she said. "I think that their parents need to help them."

In other news, Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz continue to heat up.
Wentz and Simpson continue to deny romance rumors, but they were photographed kissing in the VIP section of a Las Vegas club.
