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:Â 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).
