We all have them… those little moments of stupidity we wish we could take back. But when you’re a celebrity, it’s even worse. Because those silly little moments become known to everybody.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson have both had moments like that. We already know Ashlee’s “ooops moment” and Pete’s was that nude photo that got leaked to the Internet by his old girlfriend.

According to one source, Pete was “mortified when the pictures appeared online but Ashlee Simpson, who he only knew as a friend of a friend, comforted him about it, drawing from her own humiliating experience with the acid-reflux Saturday Night Live incident.”

He said Ashlee made him feel a lot better.

Isn’t it nice these two have each other to lean on? Laughing about the little things are what help keep a relationship strong.

If it’s one thing I like about Ashlee Simpson, it’s that she has the ability to bounce back from disappointment. Both the Simpson sisters really have the ability to move on from things, which is probably due to the strong influence of their parents.

After the disasterous Saturday Night Live appearance in which Ashlee lip synched, then danced a jig nervously, she was invited back. She chose to sing “Catch Me When I Fall,” from the I Am Me CD. She wrote this song after her first SNL appearance and the lyrics really reflect the hurt she felt at the time:

“Who will be the one to save me from myself
Who will be the one who´s there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who´s gonna catch me when I fall.”

She must have felt very unprotected and silly for having listened to her dad. I know her dad just wanted the best for her, but in retrospect it would have been better to either cancel the appearance or sing away (acid reflux or no.)

However, life isn’t perfect. And what happens… happens. We can only learn from our mistakes and move on. Ashlee did that with this appearance:

So, I’m a huge game show freak, and one of the shows I like is Jeopardy. It’s been on for a zillion years and is still interesting. And the other day I’m watching, and lo and behold our own Ashlee Simpson was one of the answers!

Unfortunately, the question involved her lip synching OOOPS on Saturday Night Live. The question was in the subject of “Jude Law.” Turns out Jude was the host the night Ashlee was the musical guest.

One person rang in and got the question wrong (DUH!) but the next contestant rang in correctly. Of course, I was shouting out the answer at home! As were you, I’m sure, if you saw it.

Here’s the video from that embarassing moment:

Ashlee Simpson gave an interview to the Metro UK recently, and they asked numerous questions about her wedding, on whether she’s pregnant (which she refused to answer), on her tatoos, and even if Jessica’s divorce from Nick has turned her off marriage (it hasn’t).

They also asked about that disasterous SNL gig. Here’s what she said:

“What’s the worst gig you’ve ever done?”

My appearance on Saturday Night Live. I’d lost my voice and I mimed to a backing track. Unfortunately, the vocals to the wrong song started – it was so bad. That was so long ago I’m over it. I’d never do it again. A lot of people in the US mime – they’re just a lot better at it than I was!

I love Ashlee’s answer on this. I think she’s really shown that she’s moved on. It was a mistake, it’s no big deal, and she’s over it. She was young and has already adjusted.

They also asked if she believed in life after death:

“Yes. I don’t know if it’s life but I do believe in some form of existence after death. No one’s come back from the other side to tell me about it but I like to believe there’s something there.”

Poor Ashlee Simpson. Every since that awful Saturday Night Live episode she just hasn’t got the respect she deserves. She handled it with grace and humor, but it just hasn’t been enough to get her back to where she needs to be.

As if the last few years of kidding weren’t enough, it now turns out that Ashlee’s new album will be up against THE MEGA DIVA, Mariah Carey. According to MSNBC, Mariah just “surpassed Elvis Presley as solo artist with the most No. 1 singles” and will now release HER new album “E=MC2″ a few days before Ashlee’s.

(Note: That title HAS to be a joke! E=MC2 for MARIAH? Puh-leeze.)

The Scoop quotes “a source close to” Aslee as saying that she “needs to hit a home run with this album.” They continued by saying her “career really depends on it.”

I hate to see Ashlee go up against Mariah, they have such different music. Ironically, it was just a few years ago that Ashlee presented Mariah with the “Music Love Song” choice at the Teen Choice Awards.
