She's quickly become one of the norms on the Hollywood Scene. She's been living the life most 18 year olds would only dream of. She's lead the teenage life most American teens would die for. When your dad is a songwriter for country music
artists and you happen to be blood related cousins with Gerard and Mikey Way(My Chemical Romance) you're bound to have a good life. We sat down with this Hollywood Socialite and got the scoop and what its like turning 18 in the world of Ashleigh Way.


RS: So Ashleigh, Congrats on the big 1-8. How did you Celebrate it

Ashleigh:I spent the day with my family at our home. We had a normal birthday party. Just the family no friends, there was cake, ice cream and gifts, just an average party. Then that night my friends took me to Chuck E Cheeses(a pizza place with arcade games, typically made for younger children) and then we just drove around and had music blaring.

RS No Pure Nightclub parties like fellow redhead Lindsay Lohan?

Ashleigh (laughs) Nope, I can't get into Pure yet. You have to be 21. Thats why I stay away from Las Vegas, I can't do anything. Its so crazy you can't even get into Sushi Bars. I heard Ryan Ross(PATD) got into trouble for using a fake ID there once.

RS Are you worried you might turn out like every other socialite, such as Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and their crews?

Ashleigh: No, I know the differences between right and wrong. I don't mean to start any drama with them because I've met them both and they really are really sweet girls, they've just made some really bad choices and I've learned from their mistakes. Plus I'm my own party. I don't need drugs/alcohol to party.

RS You do have a lot of morals there. Any other morals?

Ashleigh My parents were very strict when I was growing up. In my own household there wasn't any smoking or drinking at least in front of me or my sister. Others in my family did and seeing what Gerard went through really scared me. I probably won't even drink when I'm 21. I'm also staying a virgin till i'm married. I'm very super strict to myself on that one. I see all my friends getting into trouble with sex tapes and teen pregnancy rates all over the world, and I want it to be special with someone who loves me and I feel comfortable with

RS How did Gerard's alcohol abuse affect you?

Ashleigh I'd rather not talk about it. Its a very personal matter and its memories that the family doesn't need brought up again.

RS You've become quite the punk rock socialite, You hang out on the warped tour with numerous bands, You made appearences out on the Honda Civic Tour with Fall Out Boy, The Academy is, Cobra Starship and +44 recently, what is it like hanging out with those guys?

Ashleigh They are pretty much some of the coolest guys ever. Although Pete's pretty much the biggest dick i've ever met and his girlfriend isn't much better, it was a really great time. I'm basically friends with everyone at Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen. I have yet to meet a few bands on there such as Gym Class Heroes and Panic at the disco.

RS Panic at the disco eh? What do you think of the stuff they create?

Ashleigh Its very different. I absolutely love it. Its more detailed and very story like, compared to most songs today. In most song its just lyrics,guitar,bass,drums and with Panic they have such a diverse amount of instruments and the lyrics are very lively in the story-telling department. My Favorite song is definetly "Time To Dance" because its based off of my favorite book, Invisible Monsters.

RS What kind of projects do you have lined up for you in the future?

Ashleigh Well Right now I'm in the middle of Auditions for Elphaba in the Broadway production of the musical "Wicked", I'd like to act in a few movies, definetly I'm going to be doing some stuff for MAC Cosmetics and I'm really going to focus on my clothing,jewelry line called Neon Trash. It should be released later on this year/RS



I browsed through the bookstore. I was going to be flying to Paris for the Decaydance festival. Sisky Business and William invited me. I hated flying, especially flying alone. I picked up some random magazines, passing over my Rolling Stone Magazine. It was a long interview and the photoshoot was even longer. I felt kind of awkward about it. I hadn't done anything to really be on the cover of Rolling Stone. I payed for my magazines, luckily they girl at the check out didn't reconize me. I stuck the magazines inside of my messenger bag and drove to the airport. I dreaded the hours and hours of security check points. As I waited for my stuff to be checked out I called my best friend Jayme.

"Hey Jay" I said as she answered her phone.

"Now is not the time to be calling me. I'm in the middle of class" she hissed.

"I'm leaving for France today"

"ALREADY? ITS ALREADY BEEN THREE MONTHS???" She asked obviously shocked.

"Yeah, I'll be back in about a week. I'm in the middle of security checkpoint 4654.5"

".5? how do you get that?"

"They're half way done with it"

"Oh, well I'm in the middle of anatomy, Call me when you get to france"

"Yeah I will"

"And if you see any cute boys, hook a sister up"

"Haha sure...they probably don't speak english and you don't know french"

"Well you could translate since you know french so well"

"I'm not translating sex talk jayme"

"Did I ask you to?"

"Go back to class"

"Go back to whatever you were doing

"Love ya, I'll call you when I get there"

"Right back 'atcha"

I put my phone back into my pocket and picked up my stuff. I boarded the plane and claimed my seat in first class. I had a window seat thank god. I hate isle seats, you're always getting knocked into with the stewardess and her cart of drinks and peanuts. I put on my ipod, turned on plain white T's and fell asleep
