Ashlee Simpson has a new gig as the new face of Skechers. "Ashlee is a leading force in the music industry," said the Skechers prez. "She's young, beautiful, talented and...is also the perfect union between fashion and music, using her influence to empower young women to be themselves. We were drawn to her energy, style and grace." Wow, sounds like this guy's view is slightly distorted... Simpson did an equally impressive job brown-nosing in a statement, saying, "I grew up wearing Skechers. Like me, they are not afraid of taking chances and having fun. I'm happy to be a part of the brand and hope to add a few more pairs to my closet."
