Ashlee Simpson has been let go from 'Melrose Place'.

Entertainment Weekly revealed that she'll last be seen by American audiences in January, meaning her character only lasted for twelve episodes. Her character will leave following the resolution of the current 'Who Murdered Sydney?' storyline, with executive producer Todd Slavkin commenting: "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. Once that murder was solved, she would go on her way. That was the original plan."

Apparently, Ashlee handled the news she was being fired "with complete professionalism", though it must have come as a disappointment. What's next - more music? Another baby???
