Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Excited for Melrose Place
This fall, brace yourself in seeing Ashlee Simpson-Wentz in the newly revamped Melrose Place.
Ash will make a come-back on the small screen for a new full-time gig on the CW’s new “Melrose Place.” The newly revamped series, based on the hit original from the ’90s, promises to be just as scandalous as the original. The original show starred Heather Locklear, Marcia Cross and Kelly Rutherford of Gossip Girls.
“I play the girl that’s straight-off-the-bus. It’s fun,” the young wife to Pete Wentz and mommy to Bronx Mowgli told MTV News about her character, the enchantingly naive Violet Foster.
“It’s exciting because we don’t get to see the next episode. We don’t get to read the scripts until we’re actually about to shoot it, and everyone is dying to know what’s going to happen to their characters, so it’s fun. It’ll be exciting to play that arc. … It’s got good drama,” she says, which does follow the lines of the drama-filled plot of the original.
“For me, I started off doing ‘7th Heaven,’” she says, which is really a far cry from this new show because there have been glimpses of a dead body and police tape in the preview of the pilot episode.
“I went on to do my music career so now I’m really, really thrilled [to be back on TV]. This is what I wanted to do and this is such a great show. I’m so excited about the show,” she continues.
Acting-wise, Ash recently made a cameo on “CSI” alongside her hubby, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.
