Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Moves Into CW’s MELROSE PLACE

Perhaps this will give you a feel of things to come on The CW‘s remake of “Melrose Place.” The next “Melrose Place” resident has been announced. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, little sis of singer Jessica Simpson, has been tapped to move in:

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).

On the new “Melrose,” Simpson-Wentz joins the previously cast Michael Rady and Katie Cassidy.

Ehh. Tough for me to care too much, but this does seem like a touch of stunt casting. I wonder if her “secret” is that her husband likes wearing her pants. Seriously.
