Ashlee Simpson Spreads the Smiles

Ashlee Simpson had Bronx in her arms yesterday as they headed to a class in LA. She wore her favorite wide-legged jeans while little Bronx stayed shoeless in the heat.

Her sister Jessica is apparently pretty sad about being totally blindsided by her breakup with Tony, so some sisterly bonding might be just the kind of support Jess needs right now.
