Ashlee Simpson has been coping with her break-up by picking up men, it has been claimed.

The 22-year-old singer recently split from Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz, 27, but spent Saturday night (03.03.07) on the hunt for a new man in Los Angeles club Les Deux, before leaving with Neptunes star Chad Hugo.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She tried to pick up Ryan Phillippe, but he wasn't interested. So then she hung out with Chad all night and left with him."

However, Ashlee's representative has denied the reports, saying: "That is not true. She is working with Chad on her new album. There is nothing romantic going on."

Ashlee, the younger sister of Jessica Simpson, recently confessed she is obsessed with rock musicians. She said: "I love guys that play guitar. Every girl does. But I also like guys who have a great sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously."
