With no talent (lip-synching), original body parts (plastic surgery) or Pete Wentz (broken foot) in sight, the very lovely Ashlee Simpson attended CosmoGirl's Born to Lead Awards at the Hearst Tower in New York Tuesday.

Ashlee Simpson: Unrecognizable from a few years back, but who cares?

What exactly is she Born to Lead? Who the heck knows. But Joe Simpson surely does, and it probably involves leading his bank account into the nine-figures.

Here's an interesting note. The Hearst Tower, of course, was founded in 1928 by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. One of his heirs is none other than model Lydia Hearst, who we know as Cisco Adler's new girlfriend.
