HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
This made me laugh out loud, really loud.
re: HAHA#76
Posted: 8/25/06 at 9:12pmI mean it is, but producers don't care if a show is artistic as long as they make money. It's all about money and numbers. A lot of the shows currently running on Broadway are far from being artistic.

If it does happen. All I can say is, Atleast Melanie Griffith was the right age.
Ashlee might make Griffith look like Verdon!

Posted: 8/25/06 at 10:53pmUntalented piece of doo doo thriving off her sisters "Talent" which isnt even that good....This and constantine maroulis annoys me! These barely mediocre singers think theyre good enough for broadway

Posted: 8/26/06 at 12:11amAm I the only person who is even remotely fascinated by this idea in a positive way? LOL... if she does it I'll be there just to see what she's like... she may surprise people... ya never know.
re: HAHA#83
Posted: 8/26/06 at 2:11amI must say I am somehow intrigued to see how she would be as Roxie, but I wouldn't go just to avoid support a talentless singer who should have never chosen to be in the entertainment biz. I sound a little harsh, but just watching her show on MTV was painful, I think even her sister Jessica looked smart next to her. Ugh. Tori Spelling as Roxie? I'd probably but a cheap ticket to see her.

"Audiences wanna see Paris Hilton in the Apple Tree!"
How long until that?
I say a year.
re: HAHA#85
Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:56pmI don't wanna Paris Hilton on Broadway!
re: HAHA#86
Posted: 8/26/06 at 2:42pmThe role of Roxie was officially offered to Simpson, but she hasn't agreed to do it yet, it was on the news just now.

In the words of Dr. Frasier Crane, "Oh Dear God!"
Why would they even offer her this role? She can't sing unless she lipsynches(it has been proven at the first performance she did after the SNL incident where everyone booed her).
On a lighter note, did anyone see the Family Guy or American Dad(I forget which one had it but it was something Seth McFarlene did) where they had the spoof where she started to sing but the track was Old Man River and she started that stupid dance.

I think they'll pre-record her.
And then the drummer can play the wrong song (again), and she can get booed off after doing a stupid dance (again)

Maybe she'll screw up, forget her lines and blame it on the pit.
re: HAHA#90
Posted: 8/26/06 at 3:40pmThere have been others in Chicago that were terrible, so it wouldn't be anything new.

You have a point.
re: HAHA#92
Posted: 8/28/06 at 11:35amIn my opinion, you can't judge her on only SNL. That's unfair. But looking at everything she's done in the past plus her age- she is TOTALLY wrong for the part! I personally love Chicago and I would hate to see a pop star ruin it.
re: HAHA#94
Posted: 8/28/06 at 9:36pmUsually I try to hold out and wait for the performance to judge the performer. But this... this is just wrong.

Posted: 8/28/06 at 9:55pmActually, I heard today on TRL (best source ever, I know) that she would be doing it in London this fall, so it seems like everyone here doesn't have to worry about her being in New York.. if that's any consolation?
re: HAHA#97
Posted: 8/28/06 at 9:59pmYeah but we wouldn't want to scare our fellow London-ites who post on this board!

Oh my God! Poor London town.
Hear the news of Ashlee in London town, how crazy it will seem. See the box office of Chicago soar in London town and hear Barry and Fran sing. - Christmas Carol Parody
