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.

Jessica Simpson Talks About Failure in Vanity Fair – Photos

Jessica Simpson took time out from her failed country music career to do a spread for Vanity Fair. The “With You” singer even landed on the cover. (I am guessing all the cool kids were busy.)

Simpson has faced a lot of downfalls lately. Her musical endeavors have plunged as she attempted to reinvent herself in the Opry world. The album failed to even reach the 200,000 marker in sales and 2 of her attempts at films also went down the crapper. “Blonde Ambition,” which barely made $1,771 it’s opening weekend, was followed by “Major Movie Star” going straight to DVD. While on tour she also flubbed many of her live performances. Most assumed she was having a break down.

Via Vanity Fair:

“When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself – literally train myself – to ignore. Because I’m the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn’t one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place.”

(Hmm….there’s a thought.) Despite the failures she seems to be becoming synonymous with, Jessica seems to have faith that things will turn around.

“There will always be another opportunity,” she says, “another door to walk through.”

Awww…she’s like the little engine that could. Only a little less astute.
