I don’t watch Boardwalk Empire, so Vincent Piazza is, to me, just some cute dude. I tried looking him up, and I found that he’s an up-and-coming television actor with a decent resume. Odd thing, though: I can’t fine his age. Neither Wikipedia nor IMDB has a date of birth listed. Weird. Anyway, this cute dude of indiscriminate age (I’d say mid to late 20s) is dating Ashlee Simpson. If you remember, there was lots of talk about Ashlee’s boozy nights spent in the arms of randoms while she was still married, and after. I think Ashlee even dated a few friends of Pete Wentz’s too. But now she and Vincent are official – they’ve been pap’d together (you can see the photos here – they even made out for the paps).
New love in New York! Four months after filing for divorce from Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson stepped out with Boardwalk Empire actor Vincent Piazza for a romantic stroll June 15.
“They were laughing and chatting,” a witness tells Us Weekly. “She’d stop to kiss him; she couldn’t take her eyes off him.”
The next day, he even took Simpson, 26, to the airport for her flight back to L.A. (He’s currently shooting in NYC.)
“Vincent’s a chill guy, very artsy, the quiet type,” says a pal. “He likes her.”
A source says the two were set up by a friend, adding that the singer who was spotted on a friendly outing with Wentz and son Bronx, 2, in L.A. June 10 is taking the long-distance love slowly.
Says the source, “It’s all very new.”
Simpson’s rep could not be reached for comment.
Well, I think they seem pretty well-matched, honestly. I didn’t know who he was before today, but dating Ashlee will get him some tabloid and gossip attention, and probably help his career. Meanwhile, Ashlee gets the benefit of looking stable enough to have a functional relationship, and she gets to bone a cute a guy. Win-win.

NOT HOT! ew.
I hate that she and Pete couldn’t make it work. So many divorces these days! But… she seems kind of crazy so maybe he dodged a bullet? My heart goes out to the guy because it sounds like he really tried to make it work while she was hoing it up…
I had to look up who he plays in BE because I didn’t remember him. He plays Lucky Luciano, if anyone cares.
NOT HOT, too. That’s a double bagger if ever I saw one
well…anyone is an upgrade compared to Pete Wentz- BARF!!
I’d have to say Pete is better looking than this sleepy-eyed dude. I didn’t know they decided to get divorced though. Last time I heard news about Ashley and Pete they were out together holding hands and stuff. Hmm,sad.
Hot? Cute? I don’t think so.
Girl, you need new glasses.
I dig her Wilson Phillips hair.
No, seriously. That’s a very cute look.
Boardwalk Empire is an awesome show. You should really check out the first season. Good choice for Ashley if she is dating this guy, I can’t say the same for Vincent however getting involved with the Simpsons.
He’s not my taste, but he’s definitely an improvement over feo Pete Wentz! And I agree with Zelda that her hair looks cute. For once. 🙂
I vote for Bronx as the cutest of them all. seriously look at him!
Um, NO HE IS NOT cute. He reminds me of that guy in high school that you kissed when you were drunk because the guy you REALLY wanted to kiss was totally kissing your best friend.
Blech!
Eh, NOT HOT. Besides, I still cant accept the divorce.
I’m guessing anything is better than an EMO Fallout boy.
Oh LUCKY from Empire…NICE!!
He is w-a-y too good for her. His acting ability surpasses anything she could ever hope for in any field, EVER.
He’s awesomely creepy in Boardwalk Empire. If you’re not watching, you’re truly missing out. And if you love Steve Buscemi (as I do), you ARE watching. SB is a phenomenal actor!
She’s a hot mess. He’s just average at best.
That first pic of her with the hat/hair combo reminds me of Madonna circa ‘Who’s That Girl’ era.
As for him, haven’t seen BE, despite a longtime love of Steve Buscemi. Gotta check it out one of these days. He doesn’t do it for me in the pics, but I can’t judge not having seen his acting…
Not even remotely cute! Looks like that guy I talk to about video games and they jizz themselves.
ITA bellaluna…BE is awesome, can’t wait for next season!
meh. not really hot but definitely too hot for ashlee. she looks just like that puppet madame and seems like a brat.
Kinda not hot
These aren’t the best pictures of him but he is hot on Boardwalk Empire. This is definitely a HUGE step up from the Emo Afro.
Nope, not hot. Not even remotely cute. To each his (or her) own though!
Maybe I need to go to Bizers Vision World as I do not think this man is hot. Does she just like “ugly” and odd haired men? What about Carrot Top at least he is funny? Wait….never mind.
roflmao about the Puppet Madame comment. OMG she does look like it/her.
A definite upgrade to the married knuckle-dragger she chased in the past.
He reminds me of a less cute Joey Mcintyre.
@ brin – Me neither! I am so excited to see what happens next!
@ Thea – Lots and lots of H-Wood Ho’s look like Madame nowadays. It’s all the face fillets and injections. How I do miss Wayland and Madame! I guess Joan Rivers (a Madame in her own right) is the closest thing we’ll get.
Ha, for a minute there I thought her new boyf was the dude standing behind her in the first close up shot. Ya, but then it didn’t really get that better.
Not sure about her fling, but her son sure is cute. Ashley needs to take off that stupid hat. I thought it was a phase when she first started wearing it but it’s gotten way old. Take off the stupid hat, Ash!
Eh. He’s mildly attractive at best
I agree Boardwalk Empire is worth seeing and these are not the best pics of him. Definitely a step up…for her.
He is quite enjoyable as Lucky Luciano.
when I saw Boardwalk Empire my heart froze and thought it was Jack Houston for a moment.
Thank god she is staying away from my imaginary boyfriend.
Well someone certainly looks up to Agyness.
@iggles
Just throwing it out there: Pete Wentz is the “crazy” one from the pairing. He has a history of depression and a suicide attempt under his belt. It’s hard to live with someone who is depressed, I bet it was a tough marriage. I actually liked them together, it was sad to see them break up.
They ARE a good match because she has really been bringing the fug lately. Whats with the pale skin, red lips and lame hat? She is glued to the same style of hate forever lately and its hideous and does nothing for her.
Oops. Double post!
It always really bugged me that Pete had such a large out of proportion sized head for his body…
Anyhows this guy looks quite average, have never seen him act, but miss Simpson is looking damn good…must be having a really good time! ;D
& to add even tho Bronx looks terrified in that pic, how absolutely gorgeous is that child!? Such a cutie!
She moved on quick didn’t she. Which makes me think that her and Wentz only married because they were having a baby together. Not a good reason to get married. Simpson and Wentz probably would have fizzled out much quicker had she not gotten preggers me thinks.
I’m surprised. She and Pete have seen together a lot. I thought they were “dating”.
I only see Madonna – Who’s That Girl? Papa Don’t Preach
Good for Ashlee.
Blind item: Megan fox and BAG?
Ashlee’s look brought to you by the Sam Ronson fall 2011 collection.
What happened to HER?! She was so hot in Melrose Place, she looks so ugly now!!!! and that guy is not hot, maybe if you’re drunk LOL
Bronx = adorable!
Hm. Interesting looking yes. Hot? Nah.
She looks like Kelley Osbourne’s ex.
Not hot at all, actually. I liked her and wence together. I wish they’d go a second round.
Doesn’t seem like her type. She usually goes for the faux rocker skater tatooed boys.
kind of what??..
