In addition to revising her role as Roxy in Chicago…she is ready to launch her own clothing line just like Jessica. A source said, “Ashlee wants to start a clothing line. She wants it to be both preppy and punk rock. She thinks she can really succeed in fashion.”

Nice. They can sell it right next to Avril Lavigne’s crappy Abbey Rose collection at Kohls.

She’ll be revising her role as Roxy in Chicago, but this time she’ll be doing it on Broadway.

According to reports, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, 25, isn’t taking a break after getting axed from the prime-time soap. Instead, she’s set to play Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, starting in December for six weeks, Gossip Cop reports.

It’s not an unfamiliar role. Simpson-Wentz played the role in the London run of the musical. It would, however, be her Broadway debut.

Ashlee was kicked off Melrose Place because she was a total diva on set, late all the time, and deeply disliked by fellow cast members,” the insider spills. “It created a lot of discord among the cast.” Another big problem, says the snitch? “She could barely act.”

The source says producers desperately wanted Heather Locklear to reprise her role, but couldn’t afford her salary demands without cutting someone.
“They basically trimmed the fat and made it possible for Heather to join the show,” says the snitch. “Heather is a much bigger name than Ashlee.”

It’s funny thought that they really think the 18-24 year old chick demo would rather see old ass Heather than Ashlee.

The decision to cut the two actors has been “the original plan going into the development of the show,” executive producer Todd Slavkin tells EW. “We felt that once the murder mystery [involving their characters] was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift … and [Simpson-Wentz's] character would move on.”

In a statement released after the announcement, Simpson-Wentz said, “Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity.”

I’m interested to see what Papa Joe has her doing next. Prepare yourself for a new faux-rocker, mediocre album from the youngest Simpson sister.

And not that Jessica is really unhappy and turning to food for comfort, Ashlee is about to give up eating for good. Since landing the role on Melrose Place and watching her sister get roasted in the tabloids about her weight, the youngest Simpson is purposely going to extremes to be the polar opposite.

“She doesn’t seem to eat much anymore and went from a size 8 when she was pregnant to not even filling out a size 0 now. She’s barely above 100 pounds,” one friend revealed.The actress stands 5-foot 6 inches.

“She substitutes Red Bull for some meals, and snacks on nuts and other small things instead of having a decent lunch or dinner.”"It was almost as if she was obsessed with looking as good as possible for all the show posters and advertisements,” said the friend.

Is it really bitchy of me to say I’m glad to see someone as thin as Ashlee has cellulite? Yes. But it still makes me happy.

The battle is on. Ashlee Simpson has lashed out at celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton via Twitter. PerezHilton.com ran a story about the singer and her husband, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, claiming that Ashlee�s drunken partying caused a loud spat between the two at an anniversary celebration for Wentz�s bar, Angels & Kings.

Perez reports that Wentz was enjoying his party when Simpson �came up completely wasted and yells at him to leave. They fought, she told him he was horrible in front of a whole group of people and made him leave his own party early. So they make a scene and leave the bar.�

Now Simpson has used her Twitter account to scold Perez for his damaging gossip.

�When all you do is make up untrue stories- look in the mirror. Do you even feel human?? Karma is a bitch.Your story is WAY off,� the �Pieces of Me� singer responds.

Naturally, Perez responded right away, tweeting directly to Simpson: �There are a lot of good rehab facilities in Malibu!� He added, �I don�t wanna name names and get people fired but several of the people I spoke with work at Angels & Kings. I�m not wrong.� He also wrote a Twitter message to Wentz: �Sorry to hear about what Ashlee put you through last night!� The rocker made no response, but romantic messages to his wife around the same time suggest that Wentz is feeling just fine about Simpson.

I’m not one to badmouth fellow bloggers..but this dude just makes us all look bad. Maybe Will.I.Am. can punch him in the face again to get the universe back in karmic balance.

They were shot by photographer Adam Bouska on Monday with the campaign’s signature look: “NOH8″ painted on their cheeks and duct tape over their mouths as a symbol of the pro-gay voices not being heard.

He celebrated his 30th with his wife Ashlee and friends at Yellowtail restaurant inside the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas Saturday night.

“Pete and Ashlee had a pleasant conversation with Michelle and her boyfriend for close to 20 minutes,” says a champagne-poppin’ spywitness. ”Ashlee got very very drunk and she also kept making frequent bathroom trips.”

“As the evening went on and Ashlee started to get sloppier, things got out of control,” a partygoer confesses. “A loud and obnoxious Ashlee began giving her husband a lap dance

. She was staring directly at Michelle and starting hurling insults at her..She was grinding up on Pete like a stripper. It was actually pretty disgusting!”

A completely wasted Ashlee screamed at Michelle, “I hope you know, the whole time you were dating Pete, I was f***ing him!”

But did it really happen that way?

As Ashlee’s rep spins it…

“It was just a misunderstanding,” the publicist tells us. “Ashlee has since apologized to Michelle, and they remain on good terms.”

Star says there source claims Ashlee Simspon-Wentz is a few weeks pregnant and other sources report that it was not planned but they are just “going with it”.

The Fall Out Boy bassist — who was without his wife of nearly one year — partied hard with about 50 band members, dancers and pals (including Girls Next Door star Holly Madison) following a sold-out show at the Palms Casino Resort on April 5.

“Everybody was going absolutely crazy,” an eyewitness tells Star. “People were even drunkenly playing makeshift Slip ‘n’ Slide with a mat and lubricant. And Pete was in great spirits. He was dancing and singing along to his band’s own songs, grinding up against the dancers [and] dancing on a pool table with the girls.”

However, earlier in the day, Ashlee — who headed back home after attending FOB’s April 4 concert in Irvine, Calif. — Twittered: “I am beyond sad to leave my love… My heart is breaking as we drive home.” And also: “I need my hubs.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz micro-messages the world a new photo of her 4-month-old son on her Twitter page.

“I present you my little man and his adorable cheeks!” she writes.

You can’t deny the fat baby cheek cuteness. If you’ve been missing Ashlee since she became Mommy Wentz..don’t despair. Shooting for the pilot of CW’s updated version of Melrose Place starts next week and we can expect a deluge of promos featuring Ash and the rest of the cast.

They are kissing…so that must mean that everything is A-OK.
