Ashlee recently moved out of Melrose Place after producers wrapped up her storyline.

Taylor Jacobson has been celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s right hand woman for nearly four years but she is finally moving on.
In an email to friends and colleagues (as obtained by Fashionista), Taylor wrote, “After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”
No word on whether there will be a third season of The Rachel Zoe Project or who Taylor’s replacement will be. For now, it seems Mr. Brad Goreski will be taking on the extra load!
FYI: Rumors are also surfacing that Rachel Zoe is leaving her longtime agent Parke Steiger from Todd Shemarya’s agency.
