Ashlee Simpson Depressed After Heather Locklear Demanded Firing

THIS is hardly surprising! Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was reportedly fired from “Melrose Place” because producers thought she couldn’t act, and only hired her to create buzz for the show. Now she is so upset over being let go that she is apparently “teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown,” devastated at the loss of her gig.

Per Monsters And Critics:

“Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed,” said a friend to the Enquirer. “She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her.”

Obviously they didn’t watch her on “7th Heaven” or they would have known how terrible of an actress she already was. Meanwhile, Ashlee’s sister Jessica, who used to help promote her sister’s former show regularly on her Twitter page, has changed her tune about the show.

Per Twitter:

“CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press”

Wow, that’s quite the diss coming from someone who starred in “Major Movie Star!” Sorry Jessica, but the show was crap from Day 1. And Ashlee can’t act either. Ashlee’s character will make her final appearance on the show in January.

Ashlee Simpson To Join the New “Melrose Place”

Well it seems like Ashlee wants to try her hand at acting again. Multiple sources confirm that singer and wanna-be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has become the latest person to check into “CW’s” newly resurfaced show “Melrose Place.” Simpson-Wentz will play a small-town girl named Violet, a character whose is said to resemble the Southern-belle-turned-actress portrayed on the original “Melrose Place” by Amy Locane. The character also appears sweet and innocent on the surface, but uses that to mask her inner sex kitten. Hmm – wonder if Ashlee can pull that off! Besides her upcoming gig March 18th on “CSI”, this will be her first time behind the acting lens in 7 years since her unimpressive “7th Heaven” days.

Others already cast include Katie Cassidy and Michael Rady, and rumors are circulating that Heather Locklear is in talks to reprise her role as Amanda Woodward. “OC” actress Mischa Barton is also in talks to join the show. Ashlee and Mischa on the same show… Is it me or is this show seemingly lacking in the talent department?

The show is considered a lock to land a spot on The “CW’s” fall schedule, presumably to follow “90210” on Tuesday nights. How long do you think it’ll take husband Pete Wentz to convince producers to cast him as a guest star? Guess my Tuesday nights will still remain free despite the “Melrose Place Has-Beens Variety Hour.”
