Are Jessica Simpson and Ashlee battling it out behind the scenes? While their reps insist the sisters are still close, a tsunami seems to be building according to a report set for publication in this week's publication of Star Magazine. In a walk down memory lane the magazine asks - "Remember the good old days when Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were best friends?" No more, according to the report - the sister catfight is on! Like the hair colors they’re now sporting and the guys they are seeing, the relationship between the once-close siblings is no longer what it used to be.

Jessica Simpson vs. Ashlee: John Mayer Comment Sparks Catfight

But-whoops!-it was a shot of Ashlee! Uh-oh! "Jessica read John the riot act,” says our source. “He definitely touched a nerve.” Her sensitivity on the subject seems to be the direct result of Ashlee’s emergence as a sex kitten, a role once owned by Jessica.

That Ashlee has become the hot blonde – a transformation that came courtesy of a surgeon’s knife, a bottle of peroxide and dramatic weight loss- is troubling to Jessica, who has morphed into a buxom and sometimes frumpy brunette due to a dye job and about 20 extra pounds. “Jessica hears the catty talk about how Ashlee looks like her- from two years ago,” says the source. “It totally bothers her.”
