Ashlee Simpson Wentz is leaving Melrose with a bang. Heather Locklear has returned as Amanda Woodards but the steamy clench with a co-star on WB's Melrose Place gets attention. The 25-year-old singer/actress stripped off for some raunchy scenes involving her character Violet and Augle (Colin Egglesfield) in the re-launched version of the popular 90s series.

At one point, Violet whips off her vest and is pinned on a table by Augle as the pair get close in the outrageous clip. Simpson and her co-star Egglesfield have both been cut from the CW drama.

In a statement released after the announcement, Simpson-Wentz said, "Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. 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 CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity."
The actors' departure comes just a few weeks after original Melrose alum Heather Locklear began filming scenes for upcoming episodes.
