Ashlee Simpson now the pretty sister

Ashlee Simpson says she was constantly compared to her beautiful and successful sibling when
she embarked on her own singing career and the comparisons allegedly
effected her self-esteem.

It has now been claimed that Ashlee decided to have her nose straightened so
she could be as attractive as Jessica.

A source told Britain's Bliss magazine: "Ashlee has always been cute but for
a long time she felt like the ugly duckling of the family compared to
Jessica. Every time she looked in the mirror, she saw a too-prominent nose,
and she decided to do something about it.
"She was thrilled with the results. She basically had the bump on her nose
shaved down."
Since revealing her new nose and image Ashlee's career has soared, while
Jessica is still struggling following the breakdown of her marriage to Nick
Lachey.
The turnaround has reportedly put a strain on their relationship.
The source added: "Ashlee could see that her career was taking off, while
many would say that Jessica's was on the way down.
"Sadly, the two sisters have had some disagreements and it's all to do with
Ashlee's success. Being on stage in 'Chicago' in London was a huge move for
Ashlee and Jessica was very jealous - she even confided to friends that she
thought Ashee's new look was trampy."

Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson has laughed off reports of a romantic liaison with producer Chad Hugo, after the pair were seen leaving a US nightspot together last week.

Simpson, who has previously been linked to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, was alleged to have settled for Hugo - one half of hip-hop beatmakers The Neptunes - after being snubbed by actor Ryan Phillippe, according to the New York Post.

A representative for the singer says, "That is not true. She is working with Chad on her new album. There is nothing romantic going on."
