Ashlee Evicted From “Melrose Place”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will have more time to spend with baby Bronx now—she’s been fired from the struggling series “Melrose Place.”

Exec producer Todd Slavkin told EW that the plan was always for Ashlee to exit the show halfway through the season. “Because we felt that once the murder mystery was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift into a much more fun, romantic, sexy upbeat kind of show, and [her] character would move on.”

But is that really the reason? Did the combination of poor ratings and the return of Heather Locklear cause the producers to make last-minute changes? Well, Ashlee can always go back to her singing career. If she still has one.
