When the rumors started that The CW was considering doing an updated version of Melrose Place, I thought it was too soon after bringing back 90210. Then came word that they cast Mischa Barton for the pilot, and I could deal with one annoying paparazzi darling on the show. That was until
Michael Ausiello reported that they also cast new mom Ashlee Simpson to the show.
The onetime 7th Heaven star will play small-town girl Violet, a character whose disarming naiveté masks the calculating, shrewd sex kitten within.
With the casting of both Mischa and Ashlee, I wonder if The CW really wants to pick up the show? Which I wouldn't mind if that meant Privileged would get a second season because I would rather see that on the tube in the fall.
I wonder who else they are considering? Lindsay Lohan? Kim Kardashian? Brody Jenner? Jesse Metcalfe?
