Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, famed sister of Jessica Simpson, yes that same girl who waltzed off (more like chicken-danced her way off) the SNL stage after her lip-sync performance went the way of Milli Vanilli, yes that lass who got booed at a Superbowl halftime performance, and yes that same lady who got unceremoniously tossed off of “Melrose Place” is now doing a new gig… on Broadway?  Huh?

Simpson reportedly will be the newest Roxie Hart on Broadway’s long-running ”Chicago.”  The singer-turned actress, whole role on Melrose was recently axed, will sport a new address after Thanksgiving.  She’s moving to Broadway.  Yes, you heard that right, and stop scratching your head.

The 25 year old Ashlee is ready to star as Roxie Hart in the long-running revival of "Chicago" beginning Nov. 30.  She is going to have to quickly re-familiarize herself with the role of the Depression-era husband-killer who becomes a media darling.  That shouldn’t be too bad, as she played the part in London.

"I’m honored to be reprising my role as Chicago’s Roxie Hart, returning to the stage and joining this amazing cast," explained Simpson-Wentz.  She further confides that "Being on Broadway is a childhood dream come true."

Simpson-Wentz’s surprise axing from "Melrose," didn’t sit well with big sister Jessica Simpson who responded by blasting the show’s producers.  In many ways, perhaps this all worked out for the best, as Simpson-Wentz appears to be headed to the fulfillment of a long time dream.  Jess could only wish she were that fortunate.
