OK! Magazine Misspells Ashlee Simpson
This week’s issue of OK! Magazine somehow managed to misspell Ashlee Simpson’s name as “Ashley” - on the cover, no less.
A rep for the magazine told Page Six, “It is highly embarrassing and, sadly, someone will probably be fired.”
This comes just weeks after Susan Toepfer was installed as the new editor-in-chief. Not a great way to start off your new job!
DO YOU THINK someone should be fired for misspelling Ashlee’s name on the OK! cover?

I think Ashlee should be fired for spelling her name like that
HAHA to #1.
in the magazine world, misspelling names is HUGE. someone will definitely be fired.
Jared, you also misspelt her name. It’s Asslee.
only if everyone who proofed it is included…
haha that is quite funny.
i feel sorry for the person who is gonna get fired for spelling her name wrong.
Ashlee Simpson was born with the name spelled “Ashley” but then changed it, likely at the request of big daddy Joe Simpson, when it looked like she had a future in the entertainment industry. Probably trying to differentiate his untalented daughter from the pack.
The person who even thinks she’s interesting enough to be on a cover should be fired!!
Well, I don’t want that the one that did that will be fired. But it’s the magazine world.. so I guess that person will be fired. That’s sad actually.
OMG Alysson Hannigan and now Cobie Smulders are expecting! Too much pregnancy on HIMYM!!! It’s so exciting! What’s gonna happen on the show!
Ok I know it has nothing to do with the subject oh Ashlee being Ashley but I don’t care so much about that stuff!
@ Kate: it’s so funny but it’s also so right! ;)
If I got fired over misspelling ASSlee’s name, man I’d flip my wig. This ***** is not worth getting fired over - in fact she’s OVER - all she is now is a celeb-hangeron and has no discernable talent to speak of….
I agree with #3, although I think its spelled s-k-a-n-k
How sad ..
it’s a huge thing but who cares about ASHLEE? and why in the hell did her parents name her like that? obviously, they wanted attention or just didn’t know how to spell ASHley. anyway, give the person a break……..apology is a must but save there’s no need to be fired!!
how did no one see that
Fired? That’s not fair. Sure, one person spelled it wrong, but how many people did the magazine go through before being approved? It was a mistake. I don’t think Ashlee is crying herself to sleep.
More than one person proof reads and rereads and reproofs each cover before a magazine goes to print.
If blame for something so trivial needs to be laid - the editor (who has the final say and go ahead on everything) should step up to the plate.
But in the real world, not the fake entertainment Hollywood bubble - who the frick even cares?!?!
OH!
And btw ….. if none had even pointed it out, I would have never noticed.
But then again, I don’t buy magazines ….. :shrugs:
#1 and # 7 so on target.
Just get the whoever this person is to change the spelling of her name instead…much easier.
Who gives a crap?Its just a upscale tabloid.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this was done on purpose to promote talk about the magazine.
And this is no worse than misspelling Adrien Brody’s name on the Piano Poster as Adrian Brody.
Ok it is embarassing for the magazine, but they shouldn’t fire the person who is responsible. Everybody makes mistakes…
That girl is not worth getting fired over. No one cares about her anyway. Wish her the best with her baby, but honestly her career is over.
