Samantha Gives Ashlee A Thumbs-Up
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009
The last few weeks haven’t been too easy for Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, being fired from her first major acting job on “Melrose Place.” But Ash is bouncing back big time, preparing for her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in “Chicago.” She has a supporter in her predecessor, Samantha Harris of “Dancing with the Stars.”
Harris gushed to E! over Ashlee’s taking over the role. “Ashlee is adorable and talented. She can bring in a younger audience, plus has some international appeal.” Sounds good, but will Ash have better luck on the Great White Way than she did on network TV?

Is Ashlee Headed For A Breakdown?
Thursday, November 5th, 2009
It’s no surprise that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz isn’t happy about being booted off “Melrose Place,” but the singer/actress has other problems to worry about. The National Enquirer claims Ashlee is on the verge of a nervous breakdown!
On the axing from “Melrose,” a source told the Enquirer, “Ashlee didn’t see it coming, and now she’s crushed. She invested her heart and soul into the job. She feels like the rug has been pulled out from under her.” But that’s not all. The source added, “She is struggling to hold her marriage together, dealing with motherhood and practically starving herself to look good…She was desperate to establish herself as a serious actress, but now she’s worried that she’s failing.”
In addition to her career woes, Ashlee and rocker husband Pete Wentz are having marriage problems. Pete was out partying when Ashlee got the bad news about “Melrose,” and has been less than supportive of her career. Maybe it’s time for Ashlee to take some time off and just be a full-time mom to little Bronx.

Ashlee Evicted From “Melrose Place”
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
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.
