Who Defended Ash?

Ashlee SimpsonShe's been accused of contributing to Fall Out Boy's lack of Grammy nods.

But one young man has jumped to Ashlee Simpson's defence.

The New York Daily News recently alleged that Fall Out Boy blamed Ashlee Simpson, who's band mate Pete Wentz's girlfriend, for their lack of Grammy nominations.

They were said to have thought Ash's relationship with Pete had affected public opinion of the band.

But now the band's guitarist, Joe Trohman, has hit back at the rumours with a blog entry that reads:

"Know that first-off, this is what we like to call complete tabloid bulls**t.

"We don't have any 'pals' that gossip to the tabloids over our business. Those kind of folk are called douchebags, and we don't fraternize with douchebags."

Joe TrohmanOuch, but nice work on the Ash-defence front.

He continued: "We also don't blame a certain someone for our lack of a Grammy nod. That's absolutely f**king absurd."

"This 'poisonous' person that was mentioned (Ashlee) is nothing short of awesome, and we fully back her. Everything in Camp FOB is all good..."

So Ms Simpson, you can rest assured.
