Regarding recently disgraced acid reflux poptart Ashlee Simpson, BoingBoing reader Kevin says, "She's asking for advice on her own message board."

Ok you people know the internet, I'm going to get rid of all these videos posted on other websites, how do i delete them?

Now, in all fairness — we have not verified that this post was in fact penned by the real Miss Simpson. Honorary factchecker and wet blanket Jeff "Koganuts" Koga says,
Per a Stereogum comment (Link), The "Ashlee Simpson" who posted the comment you quoted from (notice no photo) (Link) differs from the real Ashlee Simpson (photo, link at the top of the forums pages) (Link). Still, both Ashlee's stats and date of registration are the same, so who knows why she's registered twice? Maybe she forgot her password? :-)
Update: Will the real poptart please stand up? BoingBoing reader and nerdetective Chris Gsell says html source proves the post-er in question is definitely not Ashlee verité:
Hey, just thought I would give you a heads up and let you know that the posts from the author whose profile page does NOT have the picture is not the real Simpson. I say this because if you examine the source of this page, you will see this HTML code:
<td align="right" valign="top" class="txtLabel">Status: </td> <td align="left" valign="top" class="txtBox">Host</td>
On the "fake" profile page you will find this code:
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top" class="txtLabel">Status: </td> <td align="left" valign="top" class="txtBox">Registered User</td> </tr>…with some javascript below it to spoof the Status field.
Thanks, Chris!
