Melrose Place: Happy Freaking Birthday Ella Simms

It's Ella's birthday on Melrose Place and to celebrate we get a fabulous flashback eppy -- giving us insight into the Junior Publicist's past ... and her shoe collection. The shoes do rock but we have to wonder...does that girl ever wear anything comfy?

Syd makes Ella a superstar
Through Ella's flashbacks we learn that Syd befriended the poor, clueless girl from Denver, taught her a sense of style and gave her a "much needed" makeover. She's hardly Tyra Banks, because we think Ella looked pretty cute even before the transformation. But after Ella got tired of being Syd's indentured servant, she started blowing off her pal -- and no one blows off the Syd. So Sydney started making Ella's life hell. It's Operation Destroy a Life and nobody does it better than Sydney.

Lauren is one busy hooker
Wendi Madison, Lauren's new "Madame," promises to keep her safe...and send a lot of work her way. But if she misses one date she's out. When Lauren agrees to go shopping with her dearest friend Riley to pick out her bridal gown, she's quickly sidetracked by a "date."

Lauren is the luckiest hooker ever. We find it hard to believe that the guys she meets up with actually have to pay for sex. Where are the dorks and the freaks? These guys are stone foxes. So Lauren misses her shopping spree to get paid for sex and Riley is peeved (of course, the oh-so innocent bride-to-be has no idea that her pal thinks she's Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman"). She was going to ask her to be her maid of honor. Lauren promises to be a better BFF and the best maid of honor ever.

There's more after the break -- read on!

Jonah is a thief and his fiancé is lonely and a little pathetic
While Jonah's gal is off finding new best friends, he is hired by a muckety muck real estate agent to video swanky houses for real estate listings. Jonah gives his BFF David (really? We must have missed this one too!) a look at the videos. David looks mighty interested-- perhaps he's thinking of going into interior decorating.

Next thing we know poor Jonah is confronted by the agent and questioned by the police. A diamond necklace is missing from one of the houses he videoed. When Jonah overhears Ella talking to David about a blinged-out necklace she spotted in his apartment, he goes ballistic (well, as ballistic as our dear and sweet Jonah can get) and confronts David, who denies stealing it. Later Jonah eats crow after he finds out that the necklace must have simply dropped under some furniture and has been recovered.


Evil and conniving must be DNA-based traits
Crazy Violet decides that she wants to make more money, so she sets her sights on a bartending gig -- never mind that she JUST started as a hostess. So during the busy party evening, Violet sets up the cute bartender, Kira, by stealing $700 out of the bar till and planting it in the unsuspecting booze-slinger's purse. Kira is canned and for some reason the really mean boss gives Violet a couple of hours behind the bar on a Tuesday night. Oh that Violet, she's clearly Syd’s kid and we can't wait to see what she'll do next.

She may be a bitch, but is Ella a killer?
We can't believe that Ella can keep things straight what with all of the stories that she's told about where she was and what and/or who she was doing on the night that Sydney was killed. The police are starting to zero in on her as a prime suspect. They can't wait to slip on the handcuffs and they don't care if it's her birthday or not.

Quotable MP quotes
"Half of my clients are married to cheating, drug-abusing, tax-evading celebutards." Ella

"Look who's grown out of her Uggs and into her Manolos." Syd to Ella

"You were practically building a nest in that family tree." Ella to Syd with regard to her sleeping with both David and Michael

"If this hits the blogisphere I’d get 15 minutes of fame and a lifetime of peddling In-N-Out Burgers." Ella on the "secret" about her sleeping with a client


Ashlee celebrates the big 2-5
We'll see Violet knocked up in an upcoming MP storyline if Jessica Simpson has anything to say about it. E! Online is reporting that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and her family, including her newly-single sister Jessica, celebrated Ash's 25th birthday last Saturday at the Wet Republic pool in Vegas, Baby! Ashlee noshed on a three-tiered cake topped with cupcakes while sister Jessie encouraged her to procreate. "I want her to have another baby," Jessica said, "I want another nephew or a niece."

Um...hold on Jess -- Ashlee's career is in full swing. Your clock may be ticking but give your little sis a minute to recover and film more episodes of Melrose Place!

What do you think? Do you think Ashlee and husband, Pete Wentz should have another kid now or wait for Ashlee's acting career to really take off?
