Today in Genius

November 26th, 2008 by Evil Beet


OK! magazine may brag that it costs 50 cents less than Us Weekly or People, but that comes at a price.

The magazine misspelled Ashlee Simpson’s name — on the cover.

“It is highly embarrassing and, sadly, someone will probably be fired,” said a rep for the magazine.

    She has the dumbest possible spelling of that name… it’s kind of memorable.

  2. Briana says:

    wow. EPIC FAIL

  3. lolly says:

    someone will be fired over an ‘e’? in times like these?

  4. sandy says:

    I sure as shit hope so, lolly. Attention-to-detail people need jobs too.

  5. Hallie says:

    I would argue that Ashlee herself spelled it wrong. But that’s just me.

  6. Persistent Cat says:

    I wouldn’t be ashamed of being fired if that’s why I was fired.

    Person A: “Cat, why’d you get fired.”
    Me: “Cuz I fucking misspelled Ashlee Simpson’s name.”
    Person A: “Nice.”

    People still buy magazines?

  8. Down Unda says:

    They should fire her parents for fucking up the spelling on her birth certificate. That’s almost as bad as naming a kid “Anfernee Hardaway.”

  9. Norah says:

    Who cares? I don’t. It’s Ashlee Simpson.

  10. a says:

    that’s because the real way to spell it is Asslee

  11. iloverainy says:

    Wow, I wouldn’t even have noticed – mainly because I don’t give a fuck.

  12. versace says:

    boring!

  13. Dmarie says:

    In Big Brother AU 2004 there was someone called “Ashalea”, that’s even worse :D

  14. quirkygirlkitten says:

    considering the fact that asslee is totally untalented she should be thrilled for any kind of exposure, regardless of how they spell her name!
