Yesterday we gave you a taste of our exclusive interview with Ashlee Simpson, where she talked about how excited she is for her upcoming album and tour. She also gave us the inside scoop on what it was like to shoot the quirky video for that first single we can't stop singing and even revealed who designed the strait jacket she wears at the end. Here's more:
Molly: The first song is so much fun and the video is fun in a different way. It's a little bit dark — you talked about Salvador Dali and Being John Malkovich influences in it, but it's got kind of a different feel than the song does. Was it fun to make? Intense?
Ashlee: It was definitely intense. I think it took 46 hours pretty much to make. One day all I got to eat was a Subway sandwich and I was like man... I can't wait for tomorrow to go to Chili's! So it was definitely intense. And I think the great part of it was I got to have so many fun looks. It was great for everybody. Everybody got to be artistic on the shoot and we all got to do amazing, cool things. The coolest part was getting to be on the harness when I'm in the strait jacket. And my strait jacket was Vivienne Westwood, that was pretty cool!
To see more of what Ashlee had to say about her video and a bit on Britney, just read more
You know the concept was about the voices in your head... it's not necessarily me. I don't think that I would ever be carried off into an ambulance or anything like that. Funny how... uh... an idea is coming to real life I guess... no pun intended (laughs)! But it's definitely one of those things where I think people have all these things going on in their head that nobody knows about and that was kinda the idea of it. Like there's the naughty girl when I'm on the Rubik's cube. It was definitely from like 5 a.m. one day to 5 a.m. the next. You know like all night. And I have to say my mom stayed with me the whole time and was a trooper! I was like, "Wow Mom — you are cool!"
We loved having the opportunity to chat with Ashlee and got her feedback on some of your questions as well. If you're liking the video as much as we are, you can vote for Ashlee on TRL here. Also, don't forget to check back in for more tidbits to come about her favorite makeup, workout tips and more.

Doesn't she have darker hair now?
1yeah it's actually red..
2i dont know why but she just really annoys me.
3Umm like, yeah Like...it was like...
she likes to say like
4i wonder what her IQ is...
5Sorry to be a hater but I never really got the appeal of Ashley Simpson. She seems to morph into whatever she thinks will make her popular. And how old is she? She doesn't strike me as the kind of young person who has deep, interesting thoughts. "Like ohmygod I need to go to Chili's!"
6who liked the video or the song? last posting eveyone said how they hated it -
7yuck - horrible song
It was cool that you got to interview her, but tell us the truth... was she as annoying in person as she seems in the media?
8NO TALENT
9i like ashlee but come on please get ur teeth straightened.
10I didn't love the song, but found it to be better than a lot of pop crap out there. Far better than anything other pop tarts are putting out.
11How shallow can you be, a "real artist" would talk about her serious influences and all she talks about is how she didn't get to eat. What a loser, no brains, she never has anything real to say.
12I actually like Ashlee...LOL. I loved her show on MTV, she seems like a real sweetheart.
13OMG. what the *heck* is she talking about in that quote? it makes *no sense.* & rambling on about how she wanted to go to chili's... hmmm... deep.
14what the f*ck!?~!?! chillis??????????
15i have to agree... i used to like her on her mtv reality show but she just seems kinda shallow and ditzy now. she totally warped her appearance and these quotes do not help. at all.
16No pun intended? Where is the pun? I don't get it. Either she doesn't know what a "pun" means or it's been a long Friday and I'm too tired to see it.
17Which one is it?
Does she even know the meaning of the word intense?
Raiding a drug house? Intense.
Battlefields? Intense.
No Chili's and only a subway sandwich to eat? Intense.
Um... okay.
18I loved her on her show as well,now she just annoys me..
19She's so smart.
20WOW. I feel dumber for having read this. Does SHE even know what the hell she's talking about? I would love to know how eating a subway sandwich is intense! Instead of a nose job how's bout some educations!!
21She looks really pretty there
22I've never liked the Simpson sisters. Just two average-looking (and I'm being nice) attention-seeking daddy's girls. Ugh, give me a break. There are smarter, more talented, more beautiful, and more deserving people who should be in the spotlight. I can't wait till people stop caring about those two... and it seems to be getting close!
23why all the hate people?
24I don't think the song is that terrible. I like it, but I think I will easily get sick of it if they play it to death on the radio. The video was cool - I like the concept, but wish they would've thrown even more surrealist weird imagery in it just to really bring it home that she's nuts rather than just having a bad dream.
25Instead of trying to sound interesting by pretending she is influenced by Salvador Dali and Being John Malkowich, why doesn't she just admit that her video and her "new" sound are complete Gwen Stefani rip offs?
I am surprised that you did not question her on this point, because whenever I see her new video, I just think of Gwen's Alice in Wonderland video - which of course was far cooler than Ashlee can ever dream of becoming!
26Ashlee who?
27Anyone else wonder if she is quietly shilling for subway and chili's? Those were two really specific mentions, no?
28UMG, I thought that too... is it because us "normal" people eat chilis or subway. Riiiiight...
29Actually I love the song and really like the video. I had only listened to a couple of song from her before, but now I'm completely addicted to Outta My Head. I don't how how she might be but her song is great for me. You should give it a chance.
30she is a dummy ass home girl!
31I love the video, her dad is a weirdo. And I don't think that her IQ is very high. ..and I will keep writing fragments about Ashlee Simpson
. She is definitely doing better with Pete by her side, rather than the "weirdo"(Papa Joe). But I read
somewhere that he wants her to break up with Pete!!? What ever could be the reason?
WELLLL he is in talks with her to do a reality tv show!!! Yes, the same story that nearly destroyed his elder daughters career and absolutely demolished her marriage (although she did that herself, let's not blame Joe for everything)! He wants men to vie for a date with her on tv.
32ARTEMIS YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT!!! I thought she was totally ripping off Gwen Stefani.
33I am kind of disapointed by this "interview." Where are all the questions we submitted??
34you mean, she had to work? She had to report on a video set and do something other than shop for more than 4 hours? Poor her. Child services, go bust those sweat shop masters, go imprison those abusers of innocent children, go arrest those workforce blood drainers!!
35Call the press, call the mailman! Someone apologize to Ms. Simpson for making her work!
Vivienne Westwood straitjacket!
36Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaahahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa
haaaaaaaaahahhahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This is too much. But go on, Ashlee, please, do go on!
(Molly, it's straitjacket, not straight jacket)
To be fair, I could care less about low IQ or not if the girl at least had some talent. But these days any Joe Schmo can photo-shop and lip sync their way into being a famous pop star.
37She speaks as though she were a 12 year old girl. Develop a brain and some character for God's sake.
38Is it just me or does Ashlee sound like she's reeeaally young and not very verbose? I mean 'Wow mom you're cool" ???? Retarded interview.
39i think the "pun" was supposed to be a poke at the britney thing, anyhoo, this girl tries sooo hard to be edgy and artsy but she just comes off as annoying. ohhh my gawwwddd that wasss soooo intense!
40Yup, she's got new hair color.
I did not like the video, at all.
41She sounds like Tila Tequila; I think the nose job's the culprit.
42how nice.
43well if that wasn't a thought-provoking interview, I don't know what is to be quite honest with you? lol.
44I think Ashlee is beautiful. And I'm not afraid to admit that I really like her music!
45Like i have acid reflux but like i want to eat at like chili's and like one day my kids will like look up their scumbag dad on the like internet and see that he like showed his D*ck to the like whole like world.
46Im' sure she's a nice person, but I think her music really sucks...it's just not good.
47Geeeess! You people are hateful! I thought she was just being real.
