Ashlee Simpson will host the MTV Australian Video Music Awards at the Sydney Superdome tomorrow night. Her sister, Jessica, will be on hand for assumed presenting duties:

Ashlee held a press conference for the event with fellow performing act The Veronicas. Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas is dating Simpson’s ex boyfriend, Ryan Cabrera. Simpson and Cabrera split in the summer of 2004, citing their busy schedules as young artists and a lack of time together. Simpson’s “Pieces of Me” is reportedly about Cabrera.

Here are Ashlee and The Veronicas and a couple of random ugly guys in underwear at the press conference. We also have the pictures of Jessica Simpson arriving in Sydney that you’re probably already seen.

“Singer” Ashlee Simpson, 21, admitted to having an eating disorder for a six month period while she was studying to be a dancer. She said that she’s over that now, and thinks it’s sad that people can’t accept their bodies. She then admits to loving her body a little too much:

At least the praise is coming from Ashlee herself, and not her creepy-ass father.

Ashlee and her great tits surfed on an MTV special “Kelly Slater Celebrity Surf Invitational,” that aired on March 25.

Here are some pictures of Ashlee surfing and contorting her face at a concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday. Ashlee will play in Wisconsin tomorrow night, but it may be empty in the concert hall. As of last week less than 1,000 tickets were sold.

Seven more pictures after the jump.

Ashlee Simpson is talking about her bout with the exhaustion virus that claims countless young pop starlets each year. In mid-December, 2005 after a busy US tour, she went to Japan where she had to be hospitalized in less than ideal quarters:

Despite Ashlee’s impression, Japan’s health care system is much better than that of the United States. In a 2000 report by the World Health Organization, Japan ranked 10th overall in health care while the US came in at 37th – below most other industrialized nations. The US also has a higher infant mortality rate than Japan.

Here are pictures of Ashlee in April’s Jane magazine.
