Ashlee Simpson Gives Up Singing for Son
Remember when she sang?
We have a feeling this must be making the blow from Melrose Place even harder to handle. Ashlee Simpson started her career as a singer, just like big sister Jessica. But she recently decided to end her singing career to be around for her son more. Her new goal is to get deep into acting.
Unfortunately, Ashlee's first big foray into acting didn't really pan out. But we're guessing she's going to be looking for more acting opportunities now that she's done with Melrose Place.
According to a source, "She's reading scripts. Acting is her focus now. If she had an album, she'd have to tour and be away from Bronx. She wants consistency...." It makes sense to us. Acting can be an extremely demanding job, but if it's for a television series, it generally does offer a level of consistency. Whereas if Ashlee was still making music, she would be on tour part of the year. And since hubby Pete Wentz is already on tour part of the year as it is, that wouldn't make much room for family time. Especially since Pete and Ashley have talked about wanting a lot of kids in the future.
We really appreciate that Ashlee is giving up something she loves for her son. We just hope she can make it! We have to admit we were fans of Ashlee's singing and think she could have had a bright future as a musician, but we totally get why she's making this transition.
Do you think Ashlee Simpson will make it as an actress?
