Ashlee Simpson's Character Being Written Off Melrose Place
Melrose Place is doing a major overhaul of it's cast in the upcoming months. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and co-star Colin Egglesfield are being let go from the show. They are also adding new cast members to change up the tone of the new series.
But, before the media goes wild saying that Ashlee wasn't good enough or the other crazy rumors that will fly, the executive producers, Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer, set the record straight that her character was only to be a short-term one from the start.
EW: So it was always the plan for Ashlee to leave after episode 12?
SLAVKIN: Yes. 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.
EW: How did Ashlee and Colin take the news?
SLAVKIN: They’re total professionals and they took it like professionals. When you go into a show you never know what’s going to evolve and what the possibilities are. But because they knew ahead of time [that leaving was a possibility], it wasn’t a complete shock.
They also shared that Heather Locklear is going to be with the series long-term.
EW: How long do you have Heather for?
SLAVKIN: A long time. She’s in every episode moving forward. She’s a major focus [of the show]. She has a hidden agenda that will become not so hidden as the episodes move along. She’s not just the boss of Ella [Katie Cassidy].
Are you watching the show? What do you think about them changing the direction of the show to something more "fun, sexier, romantic"? Will it still appeal to you?

Pete Wentz Wants A Lot Of Kids
Enough for a soccer team, to be exact. That's reportedly what Pete Wentz told People magazine. How many people are on a soccer team? And has Ashlee heard about this?
[H]e and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, 25, just have to "schedule and time things right ... Ashlee is really focused on Melrose Place right now and I'm figuring what I'm doing next year."
So for right now, Pete's enjoying his time with little Bronx.
"Everything is awesome about being a dad," Wentz, 30, tells PEOPLE...
"The best part for me now is that I think for the first 9 months mom is so essential," Wentz says. "When they start hanging out with dad more you're like, 'Wow I feel like a dad.' You go to music class and do fun stuff together, it's cool.
"It makes me realize all of the little things that my dad sacrificed when he had me," Wentz says. "It's sad it took 30 years but I totally realize it now."
Awww. Being a parent is an eye-opener!

Ashlee And Pete Unveil Bronx Mowgli's Nursery
Isn't any surprise, after naming their son Bronx Mowgli, that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz would give Bronx's nursery Disney theme? They had a mural drawn featuring Winnie the Pooh characters Tigger and Roo. Celebuzz has the pictures!
'Everyone knows we're huge Disney fans and we wanted to give the peeps
over at Disney Consumer Products a shout out for coming in and helping
design his nursery,' Wentz writes. 'These are pictures of the walls
before we got all his gear in there. The chalk board is real. We also
had the artist that draws pooh do the art.' "
So cute! What do you think?
