Ashlee Simpson Gung-Ho for Melrose Place 2.0

Posted by Jessica Rae on March 9, 2009 | 1 Comment

Technically I’m supposed to write ‘Ashlee Simpson-Wenz‘ but I already am annoyed by the spelling of her first name!  Simpson is allegedly going to be a “star” on the CW’s remake of Melrose Place. I say “star” because…yea. If anything, this only takes away any credibility she had. I mean, yes – she can sing alright. But she’s not an actress. Unless you’re counting her thriving career on 7th Heaven.

Why can no one think up good TV shows anymore? Do we have to remake everything? I can just hear a CW exec, “Hey, let’s do a One Tree Hill remake! Oh wait, that’s still on? Damn. Let’s cancel it and then recast with younger people already.”

THR says:  On the CBS Par-produced “Melrose,” Simpson-Wentz will play Melrose Place’s newest resident, Violet, a bright-eyed but shrewd small-town girl and recent L.A. transplant who has come to town with a secret. Her character draws parallels to the original series’ blond, budding-Southern-belle starlet, Sandy Harling (Amy Locane).

Dark Reel: The Review

Dark Reel the DVD is being released in stores tomorrow. Today I spent the afternoon watching it.

Adam Waltz (Edward Furlong) is in a blood drenched horror film produced by Connor Pritchett (Lance Henriksen). Detective Shields (Tony Todd) tries to unravel the mystery of real murders before the ghost of Scarlett May can strike again.

I found the movie was like one of those old horror movies I used to watch. The story line starts quick, and soon there are bodies coming up everywhere.
