LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Singer and actress Ashlee Simpson is headed to the newly renovated "Melrose Place," Access Hollywood has confirmed.

Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello first reported the news that Ashlee will play a fresh faced small-town girl named Violet, who has a dark "calculating, shrewd sex kitten within," according to the mag - which bears a striking resemblance to the show's original good-girl-gone-bad, Sydney, played by Laura Leighton.

"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," Ashlee said in a stament released to Access.

As for "Melrose's" most beloved star, Heather Locklear , the actress is reportedly considering a return. "Both sides are talking," a source told the mag. "It's looking good."

    I know Miss Pris had a baby but, those boobs really grew. Perhaps from nursing, or some more Plastic Surgery! Which I still love how she came to her sisters defense on why a women can't just be natural! I mean it was very clear how Jessica Simpson was the the more attractive one but it seems like she has spent allot of money/energy trying too look like her. Really she should get over herse
