Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 399 December 26, 2018

BY DUSTIN FITZHARRIS
ASHLEE
& EVAN
LIVE ON
STAGE
Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross will
ring in 2019 by spreading love across
the country. On January 7, the couple
will launch their first tour together at
the Bowery Ballroom in New York City.
The eight-city tour throughout January
coincides with Ashlee and Evan’s
debut EP that was released in the fall
and featured the hit song “I Do.”
For fans who watched the process of
making music together for the first
time on the E! docu-series “Ashlee
+ Evan,” the intimate concerts are a
chance to see the next chapter in their
lives unfold.
“It’s so cool performing together for
the first time in front of an audience,”
Ashlee said. “We’re having so much
fun, and now that the music is out
there it just feels so good.”
The tour marks a return to the stage
for Ashlee. Following successful tours
for her smash albums “Autobiography”
and “I Am Me,” Ashlee set her sights
on theater. In 2009 she made her
Broadway debut in Chicago playing
Roxie Hart.
Evan, who is currently exciting
audiences on Fox’s hit series “Star,”
launched his career in the feature
film “ATL.” The roles kept coming.
He also starred in the films “Pride,”
“Life Support,” “The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay” Part 1 & Part 2, and the
television biopic “CrazySexyCool:
The TLC Story.” The tour will be a
new experience for Evan, but one he’s
anticipating.
“I love to perform. I’m so comfortable
on stage. Being up there with Ashlee
makes it even more incredible,” Evan
said. “It’s like we’re throwing a party
and you’re all invited.”

Ashlee and Evan walk into 2019
basking in the glow of celebrating a
remarkable year. From winning hearts
on television to delighting new and
old fans with music to becoming
trendsetters in the fashion world
with their own unisex clothing line,
Ashlee and Evan are truly one of the
entertainment industry’s “it” couples.
But make no mistake, Ashlee and
Evan said what matters most to them
is love and family. They promise that
in addition to their music that fuses
together pop, funk and soul, the
tour will be filled with a whole lot of
happiness and love.
“We have something to share. Right
now there’s not a lot of people talking
about love. I grew up in a time when
love was in the forefront,” Evan said.
“It’s still possible to live life, enjoy life
and raise a family.”

Best known for her iconic roles in
films and television series spanning
generations, EG Daily is a Los Angeles
native who started her career at an
early age with roles on shows including
“Laverne and Shirley,” “Chips” and
“Fame.” In the ‘80s, she had three
Top 10 hits, including “Say It, Say
It” by Benitez, which went #1 on the
Billboard dance charts. EG also stunned
judges on NBC’s “The Voice” once
they realized that she had starred in
the ‘80’s cult classic movie “Pee Wee’s
Big Adventure” as Dottie, had voiced
Tommy Pickles on Nickelodeon’s hit
cartoon “Rugrats” and had guest-starred
on NBC’s “Friends” as Leslie, Phoebe’s
“Smelly Cat” songwriting partner.
Tell me about your new song, “So
Pretty.”
So what happened was that I had been
writing; I hadn’t put out a “song-song”
for a while, and I wasn’t even actually
trying. I always write for different
projects, once “So Pretty” was finished,
I felt very strongly about it and thought,
“I want this to be a me song.” I wanted
to tackle it since the message was so
important, so the next thing you know,
I put together the team and hired the
people to make the video. When the
video was done, it became very clear
to me that the message doesn’t just
affect women, but also children, younger
boys and men—it affects everyone. True
beauty is an inside job.
You recently said, “We can be our
harshest critics, and I want this song
to be an anthem for everyone to
say to themselves ‘I am more than
enough.’” Do you have any personal
experiences to share?
Yeah, at my age, I’m still at a point
where I want to look beautiful and feel
pretty like everybody else. There were
times when I’ve had makeup artists, hair
stylists, wardrobe people, stylists—but if
you’re not joyful in the inside, it doesn’t
matter what you look like on the outside:
You won’t feel your beauty. I know from
my personal experience that I have to
ground myself and that I have to have
self-love and self-compassion. I think
people are most beautiful when they’re
not trying to be beautiful.

What made you decide to include
your two daughters in the video for
“So Pretty”?
Well, because we all struggle with the
issue of beauty and obsess about it.
Especially with filtered selfies becoming
the norm, thats a lot of pressure. In
our household, we are all trying to
encourage each other and to nurture
each other from the inside out. Like I
said, I like to do things with my tribe: I
run with a pack, and my pack includes
my daughters and a handful of my
friends. And, of course, I wanted my
daughters in it because they represent
the millennials.
Although you are an actress and a
pop star with a prolific music, film
and TV career, you have also been
the voice of a few iconic animated
characters. Do more people associate
you as a singer/actress/recording
artist or the voice of Tommy Pickles
in “Rugrats,” Buttercup in “The
Powerpuff Girls” and Babe in “Pig in
the City”?
You know, it so varies—I could be at a
market and the check-out girl would say,
“You are EG Daily, I love your voice, I
love your music,” and then in the same
check-out line, the person next to me
in line will be like, “OMG you’re Tommy
Pickles.” I gotta tell you–it’s so vast, and
it changes from person to person.
Tell me about your young fans,
especially LGBT ones.
The gay community has been
incredible. For decades, I’ve performed
at Pride festivals and LGBT events all
across the country. They are my tribe.
You Kickstarter campaign is an
opportunity for everyone to help and
join this movement. Tell me a little
about that.
First of all, there are some great perks
we offer for pledging this Kickstarter,
like joining us for an intimate dinner
and my team… or joining us at a special
concert with a private Q&A for the
backers only! Funds raised with this
Kickstarter will also go towards creating
and growing this movement, and to
the proper marketing and promotion
channels to get the song and its
message out there globally. Also, a
portion will go toward a cause that
mirrors our movement.
You project donates to several
charities. What are a few of your
favorite charities and causes?
We are actually working on it right now.
We are actually going to bring people
in and ask them what their favorite ones
are. There are so many. We are asking
around, especially organizations that
encourage self-love.
What other projects do you have
coming up?
I have a brand-new animated series that
I’m very excited about called, “Maddie
and Friends.” We are celebrating
“Rugrats’” new reboot of 26 new
episodes as well as celebrating the 20th
anniversary of “The Powerpuff Girls.”
The Blu-ray release for [the] “Valley Girl”
30th anniversary. November 2nd “So
Pretty” drop[ped]!
Which living person do you most
admire?
I most admire those who don’t bow
down or people-please, but rather
stay true to themselves. I love Oprah
Winfrey, Gigi Gorgeous, Lady Gaga,
Meryl Streep, Barack Obama, to name
few. I have a lot of friends who are
transgender, and I admire anyone who
stays true to themselves.
Tell me a secret—a good one!
I like shiny balloons and cozy faux fur
blankets.
The song “So Pretty” can be ordered
on iTunes now. The video launched
Friday, November 2nd.

THOMAS
TALKS
ABOUT: NEW YEAR,
Shortly after the
holidays pass, every
gym in New York City
is suddenly packed day
and night as attempts
are made to achieve
New Year’s resolutions.
Research shows that
getting healthy is the
#1 resolution across the
U.S., followed by getting
organized and living life
to the fullest. Only about
8% of people achieve
their New Year’s goals,
but I know how to help
you beat the odds!
This isn’t really about
relationships, but
I guess maybe the
relationship with
myself. Every year I
make a resolution that
I’m going to work out
more, eat better, yadda
yadda yadda, but it
just doesn’t end up
happening. I last like 10
days, and then I’m just
over it. I really want to
make some changes
to my body, but, like,
it’s tough, and I just
let one day go by, and
then it’s a week later,
and I haven’t been back
to the gym. Maybe I
just don’t want it bad
enough? What do you
think? - Male, Gay, 24
One of the main reasons
people’s change
attempts fail is not
having a solid plan. First,
make specific goals that
are MEASURABLE. How
many times a week are
you going to work out?
What are you going
to eat? Second, make
plans to reach each
goal. When will you go
to the gym? For how
long? When are you
going to go buy food?
Do you need to do meal
prep? Third, stick to it.
Science says it takes 21
days for something to
become a habit. Commit
to meeting your goals
for 21 days and then
reassess what you’ve
accomplished and any
changes you need to
make. You got this!
My New Year’s
resolution is to stop
dating terrible guys,
or stop trying to date
terrible guys. It feels
like I’m always finding
out certain people are
terrible too late. How
can I stop this ahead of
time? I really
NEW YOU?
want to dedicate this
year to quitting this
bad habit, but I’m not
really sure how. Is this
weird? I guess I should
probably tell you that I
meet most of the guys
on apps. Is that the
issue? - Male, Gay, 28
It’s possible to meet both
amazing and terrible
people everywhere: on
apps, in bars, at the gym,
etc. So, that might not
be the key to changing
your problem. The hard
truth is that you’re the
common denominator in
all of your relationships.
You have to change what
you’re doing. There
must be some aspect of
these people that you’re
attracted to without
realizing it. Take some
time and reflect on these
“terrible” people and
notice their similarities.
Did they play hard
to get? Talk down to
you? Take jabs at you?
And, how long did you
ignore it for? I would
recommend that you
force yourself to go on
dates with people who
you are not immediately
attracted to, and notice
when someone does
something that hurts
you. Take note, and
move on.
