Guess Jessica Simpson isn't a Melrose Place fan – at least not anymore!

After the recent news that her sister, Ashlee, had been cut from the CW drama, the singer blasted the show on her official Twitter page. "CW catching up on MP," Simpson Tweeted on Sunday night. "Who writes this crap? i have had bad scripts to work with, but this? thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press."

For her part, Simpson-Wentz was more measured when discussing her character's fate.

"Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill," she said in a statement. "Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity."

In a recent poll, 67 percent of PEOPLE.com readers said they wouldn't miss Simpson-Wentz on the TV show.

Jessica Simpson's rep had no comment.

• Pete Wentz celebrated the first anniversary of his Chicago bar Angels & Kings – and his love for wife Ashlee, who partied by his side. After performing in the Windy City with his band Fall Out Boy, Wentz headed to the bar, where he cuddled with his wife at their VIP table. Simpson was drinking champagne casually throughout the night and also had a long conversation with her friend. When Wentz headed over to deejay booth to sing "Happy Birthday" to the club, he also dedicated Oasis's "Wonderwall" to Ashlee, singing along to the song and pointing at her across the room. And she returned the affection, mouthing "I love you" at her hubby and blowing him kisses. Contrary to online reports of any disagreement between the couple, an eyewitness says the two were "both smiling the whole time and rocking out to the music."
