‘The Vampire Diaries’ Wants Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift may already have some ties with another vampire franchise – the “Twilight Saga” through current hush-hush boyfriend Taylor Lautner – But the seasons new hit TV show “The Vampire Diaries” has their eyes set on the country startlet. Rumor has it that writer Kevin Williamson approached Swift about making an appearance, as a vampire nonetheless, on his CW series.

Per Reel Empire:

“I tried to get her on the show once, but she was touring. I’m desperate to have [Swift] come play a vampire,” Williamson says. “Wouldn’t she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa Interview With the Vampire type? Oh my god, I cannot tell you how hard I’m trying to get her—I would kill to have her on the show!”

Williamson confessed he is worried the star may be “too big for Vampire Diaries now” but is still hoping to work something out so she can cameo on the show. Taylor has been in the spotlight a lot recently between her run-in with Kanye West, triumphing at this weeks CMA awards, and has recently been the guest host on “Saturday Night Live”. Maybe Williamson will be surprised and get Taylor Swift to do a guest appearance on “The Vampire Diaries”. I guess we’ll soon find out how persuasive he can be. I for one think she’d be an awesome addition to the cast, even though Mr. Jacob Black would not be amused!

Ashlee Simpson To Join the New “Melrose Place”

Well it seems like Ashlee wants to try her hand at acting again. Multiple sources confirm that singer and wanna-be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has become the latest person to check into “CW’s” newly resurfaced show “Melrose Place.” Simpson-Wentz will play a small-town girl named Violet, a character whose is said to resemble the Southern-belle-turned-actress portrayed on the original “Melrose Place” by Amy Locane. The character also appears sweet and innocent on the surface, but uses that to mask her inner sex kitten. Hmm – wonder if Ashlee can pull that off! Besides her upcoming gig March 18th on “CSI”, this will be her first time behind the acting lens in 7 years since her unimpressive “7th Heaven” days.

Others already cast include Katie Cassidy and Michael Rady, and rumors are circulating that Heather Locklear is in talks to reprise her role as Amanda Woodward. “OC” actress Mischa Barton is also in talks to join the show. Ashlee and Mischa on the same show… Is it me or is this show seemingly lacking in the talent department?

The show is considered a lock to land a spot on The “CW’s” fall schedule, presumably to follow “90210” on Tuesday nights. How long do you think it’ll take husband Pete Wentz to convince producers to cast him as a guest star? Guess my Tuesday nights will still remain free despite the “Melrose Place Has-Beens Variety Hour.”
