Ashlee Simpson has vowed never to go off the rails.

The singer - who recently announced her engagement to Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz - won’t follow in the footsteps of troubled stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan because she is in control of her life.

She said: “I don’t see myself ever following the path those girls take. I’m almost 24. I’m pretty together and I’m getting married. I wouldn’t ever let myself get that way and I don’t surround myself with yes-people. I think that’s the most important thing.  People don’t control me or anything I do and I’ve never had that problem.”

Ashlee - whose older sister is pop singer Jessica - says her relationship with Pete helps keep her grounded. She added: “Pete is my support system. We definitely give honest opinions of each other. I love his music and he’s so supportive of everything I do.”

Meanwhile, Ashlee has revealed she loved working with producer Timbaland on her new single ‘Outta My Head (Ay Ay Ay)’.

She said: “It was so cool to work with Timbaland but it was important for the end result not to sound like one of his tracks. He really got me and who I am as a person, so the music still has this rock element going on, but with an 80s sound. I’d never worked with anyone who’d done beats. But I was like, ‘Ah, I really like this world.’ And who better to go to than Timbaland. It was random but a very cool collaboration.”

If you’ve seen the huge engagement ring that Mariah Carey has been sporting lately and thought that it looked eerily familiar, there is very good reason for thinking that way. The rock appears to be identical to the one that Nick Cannon gave his former fiancé, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks. A source close to Nick’s ex confirmed that Selita returned the ring to Nick after they broke up and that it is the same ring that Mariah’s wearing. Unless it’s a family heirloom, which I highly doubt, reusing an engagement ring is ridiculously tacky and should make the 2nd wearer really pissed.

I learned that you can’t listen to what other people have to say. Whether she is or not, big deal let her live in peace at least a little. You and I have nothing better than to sit here and gossip about someone that you have more than likely never met in person. Let it go! Go watch one of her movies. If you don’t like that then go learn how to read a book. Lindsay is an excellent actress. That’s her dream and that’s what she achieved. Her personal life should be her personal life, but due to the fact that people have no life of their own, depending on the tabloids is their sad truth. If anyone wonders why I might be saying these things, well I’m not really a movie or TV person but I’ve seen some of hers. I have no complaints. She is a beautiful actress and believable for her roles. Sometimes there are things that just should not be made public, whether being a celebrity or not. Citizens have become too accustomed to the heartache and violence in life and I just think many things in the mainstream of everything have become pathetic. I wanted one person to know to keep her head up and to hell with what the media has to dish out. Your fans will be your fans regardless.
