The first season of the show followed Ashlee as she recorded her first CD, "Autobiography." The disc hit shelves on July 20, 2004 and went triple platinum. On October 18, 2005, Ashlee released her second CD, "I Am Me" and on April 22, 2008, Ashlee released her third CD, "Bittersweet World." In April 2008, Ashlee got engaged to Pete Wentz.

Ashlee: (explaining how her and Pete had their clothes stolen by monkeys in Costa Rica) We'd go to sleep and we'd wake up, and the maid wasn't even here, but sunglasses, my Sony, my favorite Wireseal hat, all this stuff, my favorite make-up bag (was gone). We were like, 'Where is everything?' We asked the hotel and they said that the monkeys like shiny things. That monkey has some serious designer clothes.
(edit)
Ashlee: (when asked when she knew her relationship with fiancé Pete Wentz was serious) Maybe when his jeans fit me, and I said, 'Oh, we can wear the same clothes?'
(edit) Ashlee: (on her new T-shirt collection to be released by Wet Seal) I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording Bittersweet World and it's been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs. I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts! (edit) Ashlee: I love London. I've been here for a while, it's like my second home. (edit) Ashlee: (on people asking her if she has had plastic surgery) I don't get bothered by people saying what they say. I'm a happy person and I'm happy with my looks. I'm not an insecure person. I believe if somebody chooses plastic surgery it should be for themselves, not for anyone else. (edit) Ashlee (about to go out with the London cast of “Chicago“): The cast are going to take me to a traditional English pub where the floors are sticky. (edit) Ashlee (on her music being autobiographical): Every song is something that I’ve been through or an emotion I’ve felt - like falling in love or heartbreak. (edit) Ashlee (on her boyfriend and band-mate Braxton Olita): Well, you can never say which one is ‘the one’, but things are amazing and we have a wonderful time together. (edit) Ashlee: Growing up I felt like my nose was big. I was always like, ’I’m going to get a nose job one day’. I’m glad I didn’t. (edit) Ashlee:Jess has always made funny comments where you're like, 'Where in the hell did that come from?' But I think it's charming (edit) Ashlee:I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that, but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear. And yeah, I made a fool of myself in front of the world, but it was also great to pick myself back up and go on tour. (edit) Ashlee admits she was starstruck to meet actress Ashley Judd, but unfortunately the meeting didn't go well.
"I was 13 and I went up to her and she wouldn't say hi," Ashlee recalled. "She probably was not in the mood. I was so sad. I just wanted to tell her that I was a younger sister too but she wouldn't look at me." (edit)
