ASHLEE SIMSPON FOLLOWS USHER'S CHICAGO RUN!
Ashlee Simpson has finally signed on to play murderous vixen Roxie Hart in the London run of the musical Chicago, a Simpson source exclusively told Star — the first publication to break the official news — Monday morning. Then, when contacted by Star, Chicago producer Barry Weissler, confirmed, "Yes, it is true. Ashlee Simpson is joining the cast of Chicago in London. We are very excited and are looking forward to gauging the London audience reaction." Plus, Star has exclusively learned from the Simpson source that Ashlee kicked off rehearsals for the legendary musical in New York City studio on Monday! The Ashlee-Chicago deal, which was rumored to be in the works in recent weeks, was finalized this past weekend, the Simpson source confirms to Star. Ashlee is slated to begin starring in the musical in October in London's West End. "Ashlee's a dancer; her background is in dance," the source tells Star. "She wants to do live theater. This will put all of those critics to rest. She's always wanted to be on stage, but she got diverted when she started selling so many albums." Meanwhile, the Simpson source tells Star that an official announcement will be made in coming weeks, likely out of London, and that Ashlee will be photographed for the musical's posters in the coming days. Earlier this year, Ashlee attracted attention for having a nose job. Coincidentally, Roxie Hart sings about her nose — and how being a celeb means that everyone is aware of your body parts. In a song from the musical, Roxie Hart, sings: I'm gonna be a celebrityThat meansSomebody everyone knowsThey('re) gonna recognize my eyesMy hair my teeth my boobs my nose Hmm...considering the attention Ashlee received after having her nose resculpted, that must mean she's a full-fledged celebrity!

BEYONCE SLAMS RUMOURS OF RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
BEYONCE KNOWLES has slammed rumours one of the tracks on her new album was sparked by relationship problems with boyfriend SHAWN 'JAY-Z' CARTER. Among the angry lyrics in RING THE ALARM, Knowles sings, "Ring the alarm, I've been through this too long, but I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm." But the CRAZY IN LOVE hitmaker insists the lyric has nothing to do with her personal life with long term boyfriend Carter - the song was inspired by her pent-up frustration after playing down trodden singer DEENA in her upcoming movie DREAMGIRLS. She says, "I'm so not going through that in my life right now, but I have gone through that, and I wanted to make a record that women could relate to."
