Ashlee Simpson Does Shape May 2008

In the accompanying interview, Ashlee says: “Now I’m in shape. I never
thought I’d be on the cover of a magazine in a bikini but now is the time
and place to show the world how I’m feeling about myself.”
The magazine's cover was reportedly shot before the pregnancy rumors
emerged.
Ashlee also revealed she has a monthly dinner party with her girlfriends,
when everyone has the opportunity to display their culinary skills.
She added: “Last month, my friend showed us how to make the most delicious
glazed carrots to go with baked chicken.”
