As we recently reported, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz was given the pink slip by the CW’s Melrose Place, joining the growing ranks of unemployed Americans.

Here’s what she wrote to the CW:
“Catching up on MP. who writes this crap? i have had some bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.”
Of course, the show feels it will improve with her gone.
According to various reports, Ashlee was canned because producers feel she can’t act, and was therefore responsible for the aforementioned bad scripts.
SISTERLY SUPPORT: However delusional she may be, Jessica has Ashlee’s back.

“She’s reading scripts. Acting is her focus now. If she had an album, she’d have to tour and be away from Bronx. She wants consistency.”
