As if news of a rebooted “Melrose Place” weren’t bad enough, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Ashlee Simpson has been cast in this epic s**tshow. According to The Aus, Simpson is slated to play country bumpkin Violet, “a character whose disarming naiveté masks the calculating, shrewd sex kitten within.” In plain talk, she’s gonna be Sydney 2.0. It takes some doing to be outraged by this apparent threat to the integrity of a show that regularly featured poolside cat fights and characters with lobotomies, but surely MP’s legacy deserves more than this. Thoughts?

ashamed as i am to say it, i think she could be really good.
(shhhh, don’t tell!)
ashlee, unlike jessica, was a pretty decent little actress back in her 7th heaven days when no one really knew who she was (this was pre-mtv-reality nightmare mind you).
who knows what that did to her acting chops…but it sure as hell helped her sell a ton of albums, soooo…

Two words: HELL NO
Not that I’m too crazy about the idea of the CW doing a remake of sorts of Melrose Place, anyway…why can’t they just leave well enough alone?!

boring…this girl is boring, she was not so hot as an actress in the first place. And then all the faux pas since, well, it is nice that daddy knows his marketing skills otherwise neither of his girls would be more than waitresses.
