“Bittersweet World” no longer: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is giving up her recording career for her son. Celebrity insiders tell London’s The Mirror, the hoedown-dancing, “Pieces of Me” crooner has made the decision to hang up her mic and focus on her acting career for the sake of her son with hubby Pete Wentz.
The 25-year-old singer/actress — who was recently canned from the tepid television remake Melrose Place — feels only acting can give her the time to be with the 11-month-old Bronx.

“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….”

We wonder how this is going to work out since most people who saw her on Melrose are emphatic that the girl couldn’t act her way out of a wet paper bag?
