News: Jessica Simpson Launches Maternity Clothing Line

Jessica Simpson knows a thing or two about fashion, as she proves with her mega profitable clothing line, The Jessica Simpson Collection. The pop star has taken her fashion knowledge, teaming up with sister, Ashlee, and has designed a new line for young ladies ages 1-7.

"My mother thought it would be great to combine both of our styles, both of our personalities," Jessica revealed at a launch party their new line at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York City.

The new range will consist of sportswear separates for tween girls and "combines Jess's playful + feminine style with my vintage-inspired edge," Ashlee explained via her Twitter.

Her new fashion endeavors won't stop there! Jessica reveled in an interview with Fashionista that she will be dipping into another market very close to her heart. "We want to do baby, kids. I'm gonna do maternity."

They aim to launch the maternity line in February 2012.

Amanda Woodward STILL Rules Melrose Place

According to Star Magazine (via fabulous gossip blog Hit Dan Back), when Heather Locklear arrived for her guest appearance on the new Melrose Place, one of her first orders of business was having Asslee Simpson fired.

“Heather was jealous of Ashlee immediately,” says an insider. “She knew Ashlee was one of the bigger names on set, and she wanted her gone so she could make it her show. Heather is very political and calculating…”

On October 22, the CW abruptly announced that Asslee was outta there, along with hottie Colin Egglesfield (below).


The reason? According to Perez Hilton, Asslee had been making fun of Locklear's age...

Apparently, no one had any qualms firing Simpson. Heather became furious with her after she had been poking fun of the 48-year old's age with members of the cast and crew.

When will people learn that you don't mess with Amanda Woodward? And you definitely don't make fun of her (advanced) age. SHE.WILL.DESTROY.YOU.
