It was recently announced that Ashlee Simpson had been fired from her new show, the CW’s Melrose Place. While we would expect Ashlee to be upset over this, it is her big sister, Jessica Simpson, that is taking aim at the show calling it “crap.”

Jessica wrote [on her Twitter account] : “CW catching up on MP.who writes this crap?i have had bad scripts to work with,but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.”

As for the reason why Ashlee was let go from Melrose Place?  She just can’t act.

“They hired her because they needed a good name to help create buzz,” a set insider told Us Weekly. “But she was embarrassingly bad. Producers cut her down as much as possible.”

Another source added,

“She’s the worst actress, but nobody will tell her.”

Don’t worry too much over Ashlee losing this acting job, though.  Word is that she’s been reading scripts for new job offers. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise!
