Ashlee Simpson is Out

Ashlee Simpson recently got let go from her role on “Melrose Place.” After only 2 months in. Ouch. And of course sister Jessica Simpson is already talking about how weak the script was and that the show only hired Ashlee to generate some buzz for the show. Ok, let’s say that’s true. So then maybe Ashlee’s addition to the cast created so much buzz that the show is highly successful and that they no longer need Ashlee Simpson anymore? Yeah, right. From what I have heard, she was lame. So now it’s official, neither Jessica Simpson or Ashlee Simpson can act.

NE: “Pals fear Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown after Melrose Place eviction. The rail-thin 25-year-old singer/actress is devastated after being axed from the cast of Melrose just two months into the season.

‘Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed,” divulged an insider. “She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her . . . Ashlee’s friends are concerned that she’s headed for an emotional meltdown. She was desperate to establish herself as a serious actress, but now she’s worried that she’s failing.’”
