Ashlee Simpson Gets a New Nose according to ABCNews.com  

I’m told Ashlee Simpson had a "hooked nose" before.    Can’t say the face looks much better than before - Ashlee doesn’t have her sister, Jessica Simposon’s look or appeal; that’s not a bad thing - it just is.

From a metrics perspective, who wants to know about Ashlee Simpson’s nose job?

I’m guessing this Ashlee Simpson nose story actually peaked about a week ago, on May 11th, 2006, judging from the traffic trends.   Interestingly, more males are interested in Ashlee’s nose job than females, even though females, overall, are more interested in Ashlee Simpson as a performer than males.

The locations that drew interest for Ashlee Simpson’s nose job came most strongly from Dallas, Seattle, Los Angles, San Diago; it’s a much more narrow band of locations than those who are interested in Ashlee Simpson as a person.  I’m suspecting the distribution in a couple of big cities represents the news and media networks distribution networks than anything about what people are interested in at a particular location.

This "Ashlee Simpson Nose Job story"  was not that interesting to wealthy people, accorting to the AdCenter metrics, it was more interesting to what we call "Metropolitan Strugglers", the same geodemographic cluster segment as for online tattoos - and I wrote about that earlier on Webmetricsguru.com
