Ashlee Simpson Hairdye Sparks Screensaver Interest

Mark Hughes, 39, “the buzzmeister” of screensavers and author of Got Buzz, credits Ashlee Simpson’s MTV show, her music video and her No. 1 hit as reasons she’s topping her sister Jessica Simpson as well as Britney Spears on downloads at screensavers.com. “It’s a confluence of things,” he says. “She can actually sing; she has a little spunk.” And she’s a brunette. “Brunettes rule the blondes,” he says. “Ashlee dyed her hair dark brown; she’s the anti-pop. Pop is starting to go out of fashion.”
