Apparently, Star magazine isn’t satisfied with the romantic intrigue actually ON “Melrose Place,” because it’s fueling rumors of behind-the-scenes flirtations between co-stars Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield.

According to the tab’s piece titled, “Ashlee Crushing on Melrose Costar,” “an overly flirty” Simpson-Wentz “got touchy-feely with Colin between scenes on Sept. 23.” An ‘eyewitness’ tells Star the actress “kept grabbing Colin’s hand and hugging him repeatedly,” “giggled nonstop and did the whole hair-filp thing.”

Star then reports that husband Pete Wentz is aware of Ashlee’s “crush” and is very jealous. According to an ‘insider,’ “He recently caught Ashlee online Googling Colin and flipped,” and “they got into a huge fight over it and didn’t speak for days, and then he went on tour.” At which point, a different ‘insider’ tells Star, Ashlee invited Colin to join her for drinks after a day of filming.

We hate to “crush” this crush story, but a source close to Simpson-Wentz tells Gossip Cop, “It’s not true.”
