Ashlee Simpson Archives

Ashlee Simpson and big sister Jessica sandwich in Just Jared at Ashlee’s after-party held at INC Lounge inside the Time Hotel in New York City on Monday night (November 30).

Earlier in the evening, Ashlee made her Broadway debut at the Ambassador Theatre as the diva with a derringer, Roxie Hart, in Chicago The Musical. (In 2006, she played Roxie in London’s West End.)

At the Svedka-sponsored after-party, Ashlee celebrated her first night on Broadway with her castmates, friends and family (including proud parents Joe and Tina).

With all the dancing and singing she did earlier in the evening, Ashlee shared how exhausted she was. “I’m going straight home to ice my ankles!” she laughed.

Jessica (in Collette Dinnigan) was seen taking a bunch of crumpled tissues out of her purse and shared how she cried during the show because she was so proud of her sister. Aww! As a beaming aunt, she also showed off pictures of her adorable nephew Bronx on her BlackBerry. Double aww!

Also spotted: Ashlee’s husband Pete Wentz playing a game of pool with sister-in-law Jessica. After scratching (getting the white cue ball into the table pocket), Jess laughed, “I’ve never played pool before!”

Ashlee Simpson is in talks to return to the musical Chicago on Broadway, sources tell JustJared.com.

The 25-year-old actress moved back to New York City earlier this week. “She plans on being here for three months,” a source reveals. “She’s hoping to return to the stage.” (Ashlee played the femme fatale Roxie Hart in Chicago at London’s West End in 2006.)

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

ARE YOU EXCITED to see Ashlee hit the Broadway stage — YAY or NAY?

Ashlee Simpson and co-star Colin Egglesfield’s story lines on Melrose Place will wrap up in an episode airing on January 2010.

EW’s Michael Ausiello has an interview with exec producer Todd Slavkin explaining the reasons why.

On the decision to let Ashlee and Colin go: Well, we always knew that this murder mystery would end in episode 12. And we always knew that [Ashlee's] character of Violet would be instrumental in that as a suspect, and [Colin's character of] Augie as well. And once that murder mystery was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan going into the development of the show.

On how Ashlee and Colin took the news: 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.

New characters to be (re)introduced include Heather Locklear and Brooke Burns.

Ashlee Simpson is ready for her close-up with a Chanel bag as she arrives at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel for her Vogue photo shoot on Sunday (October 18).

The 25-year-old actress and singer is focused on her gig on Melrose Place right now, according to her husband, Pete Wentz, but “eventually,” he said to People, “we want to be able to have a soccer team.” Pete and Ashlee’s baby, Bronx, turns one next month.

Catch Ash on Melrose Place Tuesday nights at 9/8c on the CW.

Jessica Simpson and sister Ashlee Simpson pose together at the Wet Republic pool at the MGM Grand Hotel/Casino to celebrate Ashlee’s 25th birthday on Saturday (October 3) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 29-year-old singer’s dad, Joe Simpson, recently spoke out about the weight criticism Jessica received earlier this year. “She’s always scrutinized by the world and [it's great] to watch her go to other countries and see women talk about what is beautiful there,” Joe told US Weekly. “We were just in Uganda, and a beauty ambassador [there] knew Jessica’s total story about her weight and blah, blah, blah. [She said] to Jessica that it’s about who you are inside, which is the message of our show.”

Is the 24-year-old Melrose Place actress going to record another album anytime soon? “I would like to!” she told JustJared.com last week. “Right now I’ve got my hands full with Bronx and the show, so nothing at the moment. Whenever I get inspired by it and I’m ready to write again I will, but right now, I’m good.”

Melrose Place actress Ashlee Simpson shows off her JJ coaster (sans Bronx) while wearing a sexy outfit at the celebration of Carol Malony’s new collection at Coco de Mer in Los Angeles on Wednesday (September 23).

The 24-year-old singer/actress gave JustJared.com an exclusive interview which included gushing about her son Bronx’s first word, wanting a big family and getting excited about Heather Locklear joining the cast.

JJ: Hey Ashlee! How are things? Are you familar with the site?

AS: Of course! I love you guys - you’re the only blog I read!

JJ: We’re here at an event for Carol Malony’s new collection. What’s your favorite piece?

AS: I love what I’m wearing! It’s feminine and sexy but it’s not over the top, which is what I love.

JJ: What does Pete like to see you wear?

AS: I think he likes anything that I wear! He really does - he makes me feel sexy all the time.

JJ: You’re a big tweeter and there was some reported drama. Can you clear the air?

AS: The truth is, nothing did happen, so it was all silly.

JJ: There was another rumor that you kicked Pete out of the house for cheating. Was that true?

AS: [laughs] No! Definitely not. I definitely never did…we’re actually great. He’s amazing - he’s my best friend and my husband.
