182. Hilary Duff Part 7: Dignity 1
We're in the Dignity era... and this is only part 1! I will be covering Dignity across 2 episodes because I feel like people don't really get what a massive turning point this was for her life and career. 2006 was a tumultuous year during which she took control of her brand and more importantly, herself. This first part of Dignity leads us out of Most Wanted into Material Girls, some scandalous comments from Hilary, Play With Fire, and With Love -- the perfume, the song, the video, and the utter ICONERY that occurred due to her legendary soft choreo. I finish up by talking about the transformation of her movie career with her interesting turn in the political satire film War, Inc.PATREON Subscribers heard this episode completely ad-free!

181. Hilary Duff Part 6: Most Wanted
The new Hilary episode is here!! There is so much in this one because girl this era was A LOT. So many changes for Miss Duff during this time, from her music to her relationship with Joel Madden, her appearance, online bullying, feuds, and the downfall of her movie career. As these changes occurred, Hilary and her team struggled to grapple with them and keep up the same old media narratives that had worked previously. If you watch interviews from this era month by month, you see Hilary get thinner and thinner, more and more exhausted and frustrated with the media and the fame she wanted when she was still way too young to know what she was getting into. It's a really fascinating thing to break down, so I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it!Use code ASHLEEANDJESSICAST for 15% off on https://jessicasimpson.com/ashleeandjessicastMERCH: https://ultimate-fangirl-apparel.printify.me/PATREON Subscribers heard this episode completely ad-free!

MY DREAM CAME TRUE!!! I interviewed one of my all time favorite singer/songwriters, JC Chasez of *NSYNC at GalaxyCon last weekend.

177. The Tea on ALL the Hanson Magic Lately...
Well, it's been quite a ride since I asked my favorite band since age 12, Hanson, to do a giveaway with me and they said YES!! In this episode I explain what it's like to go from fan to fan with a platform... surreal. I talk about the 4 Hanson shows and 1 Taylor Hanson show I went to from June-July including the dates we did the giveaway for: July 16th at the Cape Cod Melody Tent and July 19th at the South Shore Music Circus in MA. Hanson was kind enough to not only let me giveaway tickets and meet & greets, but gave some to me too so of course I had to share how life changingly supportive they were when I finally got to thank them for believing in what I do enough to collab with me. Thank you Taylor, Isaac, and Zac!!! This is what dreams are made of, indeed.

176. Interview With Jessica Simpson 💚
Last month, a dream come true! I got to go backstage and interview Jessica Simpson at her show in Pennsylvania. This is the full version of the clips posted on my socials, so for those of you who follow me, it won't be new. I wanted to post it on the podcast feed and also include the behind the scenes of how it all went down and give a little concert review. I hope you'll all get to see Jessica in concert soon when more dates are announced -- seeing her live is a very special experience. Thank you so much to Jessica and her team for the wonderful opportunity!Podcast Merch: https://ultimate-fangirl-apparel.printify.me/PATREON Subscribers heard this episode completely ad-free!
