Ashlee Simpson and Nicole Richie are teaming up to co-star on Richie’s new sitcom. Nicole Richie pitched an idea to ABC and they swallowed it and as a special present to her friend Ashlee, Nicole has gifted her a role. Now, this is risky. As we all know, Ashlee was fired from Melrose Place because producers were convinced she couldn’t act.

Regardless, according to several well-placed sources Nicole has told writers to etch out a central role for Simpson.
“The two women and their children spend a lot of time socializing together, and Nicole decided she’d like to work with her close friend. Nicole’s generous offer could not have come at a better time for Ashlee.
The 25 year-old former pop star is still being devastated over being uncermoniously axed from “Melrose Place” just two months into the season. She made her Broadway debut on Nov. 30, taking on the role of Roxie Hart in a revival of “Chicago,” but her planned 10-week-run ends in February.
Eh, why not? Just imagine all the splashy press photos of Ashlee and Nicole and the gossip that is likely to ensue. The press alone will keep the vehicle running for at least five episodes.
