[OT NEWS] Ashlee Simpson joins Melrose Place
Your Name
Simpson-Wentz Moves Into Melrose Place
-------------------------------------------------------------
Singer/actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been tapped
as a lead on the CW's "Melrose Place" update, returning
to series television seven years after landing her
breakthrough role on the WB's "7th Heaven."
On the CBS Paramount-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.
