Man, you people just don’t understand me…
Not that anyone asked her to, or anything… but Ashlee Holmes has taken to writing all about last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey… here.
This is the last paragraph of Ashlee’s diatribe…
“I recently changed my name legally from ‘Ashley’ to ‘Ashlee’ for reasons that I will later explain. Make fun of me for it if you want. I’m anxious to get to LA just to finally be there. I have some good friends out there, and it will be a nice change of scenery. I have A LOT of big things planned for myself. I have an internship waiting there for me with Buzznet & Celebuzz. I recently formed my own LLC. I’m currently working on my own clothing line that I hope to launch by 2012. I am working on building my own website, that will also be up and running soon. I am also writing a book. I think the content of the book is going to surprise a lot of people, no one REALLY knows me the way they think they do.”
This last part of Ashlee’s “manifesto” explains a lot! First, why all the New Jersey Housewives’ uncensored blogs end up on “Celebuzz” and second, why Ashlee is so screwed up. Ashlee thinks that other people really want to know the “real” Ashlee!
Oh, bytheway…. all you LA people, watch out. Ashlee’s landing in LA tomorrow!
People THINK they know the “real” me, but they really DON’T! Uh, hellllooooo…. Ashlee… no one cares that much about you to want to even THINK about knowing the “real” you!
Note to Ashlee: Hate to inform you, but as soon as your 15-minutes are up from your storyline on RHONJ, your “celebrity status” or “fame” will swirl around, be ground into dust particles and blown away… never to be seen again.
Ashlee was live tweeting during last night’s RHONJ. Well, at least we all know now that she loves her Mother…
Ashlee has also been getting some very nasty messages via her twitter account, which IMO, are totally unnecessary. Just a sample:
First of all the person who wrote “she should kill herself” Is a asshole. She also could be friends with Danielle as she had said on reunion show a friend of hers sent her that same message about Ashley on her birthday. Just saying…..Now. Assley as i said before was doing her job for bravo. I am not surprised she is already writting a tell all book, and working for a gossip factory. I seem to remember that she interned at a place in the city. She didnt show up most of the time or was late. Thats why mom and dad bought her a car. Do people really think this wasnt all pre-arranged? If bravo stays true to themselves they might even do a Assly does L.A. I do feel bad for her parents. No matter what anyone says Jax tried her best (from what i can see). Chris took her in like she was his own blood. How can anyone who watches these shows not understand that for the most part its all about the money. The more drama the better. I think the differance between assly and most of the others is tha she does her part well. Almost like she really is a spoilt rotten brat…lol…Good job Assly…..Oh yeah, you can change the name but the games the same girlfriend…
Ashlee, if you are reading this — you’re ONLY confused and frustrated about what you want to do with your life — and you want to just get going already, dammit! (I was there too.) That’s a common hurt among many people. And it’s all OK. I KNOW you love your mom and all your family. But your emotional state has nothing really at all to do with your parents and stepparents.
Anyway, I think if you do two things, you’ll find that corner of the sky (great song, “Pippin.”): 1–take care of yourself and those who love you; 2–experience everything and try it on mentally: “hmmm, would I be happy doing this, and if so, how can I do it and do it my way?” I believe wholeheartedly you will find it! And at the same time, find “you.”
XOXO,
LRS
@lrs- It’s nice to read your kind words of encouragement and support!
she is still an a**hole….and her mea culpa on celebuzz is self serving crap….
I remember coming out of the rebelous phase about 23 or 24 and called my mom and apologized for all the stupid crap I caused her when i was about Ashlee’s age. I can remeber thinking some of the things that Ashlee said. I can’t remember how many times I thought my mom was just and old b!t*h. I moved out very young and wasted alot of time being dumb before I got my life together. It was hard to admit but my parents were right about soooooo many things I guess I just had to learn the hard way. It was hard and I was just a typical kid, I didn’t have alot of people around manipulating the situation cause I was little famous. I hope Ashlee does o.k. while she navigates the next few years and does not let fairweather friends take advantage of her for her status. I think she has a hard time ahead.
I must admit i’m very very new to this site so I do not know if there have been posts here about Jacqueline and Ashley and the babysitting issue. So i’m basing my opinion on the teeny snippets of their lives that we see on tv. I may be in the minority but I think that children SHOULD watch their siblings occasionally. There is nothing wrong with a mother asking her child to do chores and in the world I was raised, babysitting siblings was a chore that everyone had to do.
I do not think it should be all the time, or that it is their responsibility to raise the children. But there is nothing wrong with every member of the family pitching in to make the family unit work. Older children watching younger children is just part of being a family where I’m from. It doesn’t make the mother a horrible/resentful/uninvolved person. There are parents that have the older siblings basically raising the younger siblings and that is deplorable, but when I look at Jacqueline that does not seem to be the situation.
I’m changing my name from Michael to Mikel because my publicist tells me it’ll sell more books. Of course, he’s an idiot too, but I listen to him anyway.
Michael or is it Mikel: Welcome!!! TFC!! SH
Ashley your mom acted inappropriately toward you. At her age she should be able to control herself and behave like an adult when dealing with her own children, especially in public and on TV. So you are right about that. On the other hand, you will feel so much better about yourself if you can support yourself. Life gets better when you don’t have to depend on others to exist. You will face some pretty big hurdles being on your own for the first time–but stick with it. The rewards of freedom and self sufficiency are much greater than the hardships that come with being broke and without the luxuries you are no doubt used to. Good luck.
I moved to LA when I was 18, and have been here over 10 years. This is the perfect place for Ashley. No one will be impressed by her fame and no one will be stumbling over themselves to do her any favors.
That being said, I think Ashley is immature, but I don’t think she’s evil or malicious. She just needs to grow up. Being on reality tv probably didn’t help matters…
Welcome to LA. Be careful.
(And try not to end up in porn.)
I’m rooting for you.
Like, who’s gonna buy her upcoming ‘clothing line’ and her book??? Prolly the same people that bought Tree’s crap cookbook… dummies!
Given Ashlee’s (!) track record, the book, clothing line and website should be up and running by 2030. I suspect Lauren is still waiting for that t-shirt design.
Also, and this is a HUGE shocker, I thought Lauren had the most insightful analysis of Ashley’s situation: “You’re not afraid to disappoint your parents because you feel like you already have.” Though I bet that was the therapist talking, Lauren heard it and repeated.
The big snag in her LA plan is there’s a lot of commuting involved.
LOL LOL LOL. And then some. I have to go now. I have to convince my son and his wife to move the grandkids up north away from Ashley.
LOL Good luck Patricia. Have a good day.
Hah, Romo! Can’t believe I didn’t even think of that.
And public transportation in LA is NOT FUN!
Ashley’s new job is in Hollywood (where I currently live). Hey, Ash–didn’t you know that we have a subway with 3 stops in Hollywood? Authentic stabbings too. In fact just the other day…
