Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Moves In to Melrose

Pete Wentz had better get used to spending quality time with baby Bronx. His wife is going to be busy for a while.
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been cast in the CW's Melrose Place redux.
"I'm thrilled to be joining the cast of Melrose Place and I look forward to being a part of its new generation of residents," she said in a statement.
The "Pieces of Me" singer, who was once a regular on 7th Heaven and appears alongside her husband in the March 18 episode of CSI: NY, will play Violet Foster, a Spokane, Wash., gal who hops on the bus to Los Angeles the day after she graduated. Violet is described as having a sex appeal she's not afraid to use to her advantage and a seeming small-town naiveté that masks her shrewd, plotting nature.
Such a description draws obvious comparisons to Amy Locane's blond Sandy Harling in the original series, but there's no telling what hue kaleidoscope-haired Simpson-Wentz will take for Violet.
The singer-actress-mamacita joins Supernatural's Katie Cassidy and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants actor Michael Rady in the luxury apartment building.
