The latest blast from the past that should have stayed in the past is Melrose Place which will is set to feature Ashlee Simpson. The CW will reportedly air this monstrosity to compliment their ubberlame rehashing of another 90s era Fox nighttime soap, Beverly Hills 90210.

MTV confirmed the report of Ashlee Lipsynch Simpson-Wentz's participation. The poptart "confirmed to MTV News that she will be taking up residence on the revamped 'Melrose Place' this fall. "I'm thrilled to be joining the cast of 'Melrose Place' and look forward to being a part of its new generation of residents," Simpson-Wentz said.

Although she didn't comment on what role she will have on the show, reports from The Hollywood Reporter and EW.com have the onetime "7th Heaven" star playing Violet, a small-town girl who is very manipulative and uses her girl-next-door charm to get what she wants. - more on this story
