The Ashlee and Jessicast94. JC Chasez Part 4: *NSYNC's CelebritySo, what do you do after you shatter records at lightening speed, sailing past all of your idols, heroes, and every other artist in music history? Satire. What does it mean to reach the rare, astronomical level of fame and success *NSYNC achieved? Celebrity explores that query, as well as many different sounds and musical styles that few, if any, other pop stars were playing with at the time. The group brought in new producers to help them walk down roads they hadn't before, resulting in an eclectic, aggressive brand of pop that once again separated our guys from the...2023-09-112h 02
The Ashlee and Jessicast93. My Experience Seeing JC Chasez Live in Ojai (8.2.23)When I started my series on JC Chasez, if you had told me that a few months later I'd be publishing an episode in which I tell the story of meeting him for the first time AND seeing him perform live, I would have told you to get help. On August 2, 2023; JC did his first live performance since 2019 and his first solo live performance since 2004. I was there. You've all asked me to share every detail, so I did. At the end, I answer your questions on this historic event and address the *NSYNC reunion.

The Ashlee and Jessicast92. JC Chasez Part 3: No Strings AttachedWhat is there to say about the groundbreaking opus that is No Strings Attached? Apparently a lot, since I talked for almost 2 hours (and even longer on the Patreon!) This is one of the most iconic eras in pop music history and I cannot wait to dissect every last bit of it with you. From the relief of being Pearlman-free, to the hit singles, perpetually sold out tour, enthralling music videos, and flawless y2k styles... *NSYNC was firing on all cylinders and then some, not to mention they broke a few records along the way. So you may be...2023-07-041h 48
The Ashlee and Jessicast91. Hanging Out With *NSYNC ft. Anissa GarciaWe're continuing the JC series today with a bonus interview filled with stories that are fan fiction come true. My guest today is author Anissa Garcia, who grew up obsessed with a show you may have heard of called the Mickey Mouse Club. This lead to her meeting and getting to know a couple of kids, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake, before any of the rest of us ever heard their future hit songs. JC & Justin introduced her to 3 other guys they happened to form a little singing group with and shortly after they were whisked away to Europe to...2023-06-022h 15The Ashlee and Jessicast90.

Join me in the time machine as we travel back to the golden years of 1995-1999, during which time *NSYNC would go from non-existent, to one of the biggest acts in music, to almost losing it all. Of course, it'll all be discussed through a JC-focused lens, including his thoughts on this crazy adventure, the other guys' early impressions of him, and JC's first few unique and outstanding songs that he wrote for the group.

Then, I jump in to his difficult beginnings including being born into poverty in Washington DC and experiencing deep insecurities that initially hindered him from sharing his gifts with the world. Finally, we fly down to Disney World to talk about JC's star turn on the Mickey Mouse Club, where he would meet a little...2023-04-071h 10

Not only do I analyze Lindsay's connection to every name on the list, I attempt to answer the many questions we've always had including: What about the names that aren't on the list but obviously should be?

Let's celebrate Nick & Jessica's anniversary once again, because doing it in the season 3 premiere was not enough. Obviously running out of steam, the Newlyweds production crew facilitates the same silly nonsense they do in every other episode. "Nick" aka MTV plans a surprise for Jessica, she gets confused about the food, he is unnecessarily mean, etc. You know the drill! However, there are some cute moments where they actually look happy together, so that's nice at least. I'm pleased to welcome a new guest, Vanessa Ondi, who...2023-02-171h 33

We're in the 2018-2019 era of Lindsay's life where she dove head first back into the world of reality TV. Like all reality stars, she refused to let them film her most of the time.

I am not sure if she was able to accomplish either of those things, but I still love her and hey, it would not be a Lindsay episode without mess. This is probably the most controversial installment yet in which we have to discuss domestic violence, cultural appropriation, Lindsay's alleged friendship with Michael Jackson, her bizarre changing accent, her public support of Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein, whether...2023-01-172h 16The Ashlee and Jessicast81.

This week, Lia and co-host Joli discuss the music-business centered “The Video Shoot”, in which Nick and Jessica record the ever-important music videos for their respective first singles. Jessica’s video, “Sweetest Sin”, is beautiful because everyone involved actually tried. Nick and his team put almost no effort into his video for “Shut Up” and are then shocked when it turns out awful. We also get into some other pop culture of the time such as Punk’d, Kill Bill, OutKast, Britney, and so much more!
...2021-01-261h 54The Ashlee and Jessicast11. Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica - Newlyweds DecorateToday on The Ashlee and Jessicast, Lia and her co-host Joli take you through the world of marital disputes when Jessica asks Nick to refrain from decorating their Calabasas, California mansion while she’s on a promo tour for her first book, “I Do: Achieving Your Dream Wedding.” Of course, Nick doesn’t listen to her even a little bit and decides to not only decorate, but call her a bitchy spoiled brat when she gets home and is understandably upset at his blatant disregard for her feelings. It’s not all bad — we see Jessica wearing a fireman’s hat which coul...2021-01-192h 19The Ashlee and Jessicast10.

Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica - Buffalo WingsIt’s time for yet another iconic quote from Jessica Simpson: “I don’t eat Buffalo.” Some people are too busy selling millions of records, touring the globe, singing their ass off, and inspiring people worldwide to understand that buffalo wings are actually not buffalo. Lia and co-host Joli discuss how Nick is once again not acting right due to Jessica’s disappointment in how little he calls her while she’s on the road as well as an in-depth review of their trip to Atlantis. Of course, we also get into the latest Ashlee & Jessica news, which is mostly cute...2021-01-062h 01The Ashlee and Jessicast8. Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica - The PlatypusIt's time for another installment of The Ashlee and Jess-i-ma-cast! In this episode, Lia and co-host Joli discuss "The Platypus", in which Nick and Jessica actually seem vaguely interested in each other. We gleefully watched as they attended the wedding of Nick's adorable grandma and worked together in the studio, and we can't wait to share our thoughts with you.! This is notably the first episode of Newlyweds where there is no fighting or critical comments toward each other, so we were feeling the Nick and Jessica fantasy. Slick your hair back into a chic bun, grab some Wendy's, drop...2020-12-291h 32The Ashlee and Jessicast7. Nick & Jessica's Family Christmas + ReJoyceThank you so much to Jesus for being born because many years later, we were blessed with this Christmas Special from the iconic Newlyweds, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. Listen as Lia and co-host Joli break "Nick & Jessica's Family Christmas Special" down scene by scene as well as give a review of Jessica's angelic first Christmas album, ReJoyce. Thankfully, Ashlee has a guest spot on both of these, as well as her own Christmas song/early 2000's time capsule entitled "Christmas Past, Present, and Future." We wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and anything else...2020-12-221h 32The Ashlee and Jessicast6. Newlyweds Go GolfingGrab your bunny ears and a copy of Happy Gilmore, cause it's time to go on an exciting adventure through the lives of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. Journey back with us to summer 2003, in which Nick is wrestling with whether or not to visit the Playboy Mansion against Jessica's wishes. In a completely unrelated outing, the Newlyweds invite Drew and Lea to join them for a relaxing game of golf. Unfortunately, Jessica cannot play due to her boob getting in the way. No worries though, this gives her more time to ride around on the golf cart, which we...2020-12-151h 47The Ashlee and Jessicast5. All About Ashlee SimpsonAfter some Jessica-centric episodes, we just needed a minute to discuss our other queen, Ashlee Simpson Ross. Our first episode dove into Jessica's early life, so now let's check out Ashlee's oddly mysterious pre-2004 existence. Grab your studded belt, hair dye, and absolute refusal to be anything like your older sister... it's time for the All About Ashleecast!

Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica Go CampingLet's discuss the unpleasant camping trip of all time, cleverly documented on MTV's hit reality show "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica". Nick's brother Drew and his wife Lea join the Newlyweds for their Yosemite vacation and we learn that Nick's berating of his wife runs in the family. Listen as we drag Drew for constantly making rude and undeserved comments to both women. Due to his hideousness, we praise Nick for being simply a jerk and not a giant void of cruelty from which there is no escape. Our saving grace, as usual, is Miss Jessica Simpson, who is as delightful...2020-12-011h 41The Ashlee and Jessicast3. Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica - The DancersWe have a lot to say about Episode 2 of Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey's groundbreaking MTV reality series, Newlyweds. In "The Dancers", Nick is auditioning some hot ladies to join him on stage. Jessica is not excited about this whatsoever, so she buys some sexy lingerie in order to show them up. Since this is our girl, you know this wasn't a trip to Kohl's. Of course, she exhibited extremely iconic behavior when she failed to check the price tags and then panicked, realizing she spent $750 on two bra & underwear sets. Then, the Newlyweds kindly donate their musical talents to the...2020-11-241h 39The Ashlee and Jessicast2. Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica - Chicken of the SeaLet's get into one of the building blocks of reality television - and frankly all of our lives - Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. We dive into Episode 1, which changed everything for Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, and basically everyone around them due to one breathtakingly iconic question: "Is this chicken what I have, or is this fish?" We discuss the impact of this offhanded comment as well as the strange dynamic between the two pop stars.
