Ashley Simpson And Melrose Place

Here's a good example of how far modern televised entertainment has fallen in the past few years.

Apparently Ashley Simpson has just been offered a role in the reboot of the iconic (their words, not mine) series Melrose Place. Word has it she'll be playing an innocent, yet deceptively scheming small town character, similar either to Sydney (whoever that is,) or Sandy, who's character was removed fairly early in the original series.

So to sum it all up, a singer who's demonstrated she can't sing and happens to be related to another singer who's already demonstrated she can't act, is about to be cast in a show that should never have been resurrected, to play a character that nobody wanted in the first place.

And people honestly wonder why I spend so much time in front of the computer.
