Lisa Rinna Continues Her Melrose Place Plea

The actress takes to the streets in hopes of being asked to join the revamped TV series

In this troubled economy, desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures.

Such would seem to be the case for Lisa Rinna, who was spotted Wednesday sporting this sandwich board sign as part of her ongoing effort to reprise her role as Taylor McBride on the CW's upcoming reboot of the '90s hit TV series Melrose Place.

It turns out, though, the shameless act was a bit for a new Web show. Um, OK, but still…

"A dear friend asked me if I would do this skit," Rinna told E! News at the opening of the What Comes Around Goes Around vintage shop in L.A. "I said why not? Because, you know me, I'll do anything."

Clearly. Unlike another Melrose alum, who was not only asked back without ever having to grovel, but, get this, actually turned the offer down. Ouch!
