I know some people prefer Ashlee Simpson's fiery locks, but I've always been a huge fan of the singer/actress with blonde or brunette hair, so I was thrilled when I heard her hubby Pete Wentz recently mention that she had gone back to black!

We spotted Ash showing off her new hue in Beverly Hills yesterday, and not only did she look ab fab, but we're loving the fact that she had a huge grin on her face. Melrose Place what? Looks like getting fired from the show isn't bothering her at all! Perhaps she has bigger and better projects to move on to?
