When I first read the Ashlee Simpson had been cast to star on CW’s “Melrose Place” update…I was shocked. With all the hair dying, baby and bad music makin’ I had totally forgotten that Ash used to play on “7th Heaven“.

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).

Ashlee is proving to be a smart girl. I think she finally realizes she possess no musical talent at all and acting is probably her best bet. You can also catch Ash and her hubby Pete Wentz guest starring on CSI:NY on March 18th.
