Vanessa Minnillo Gets Passed Up For "Melrose Place" Role!!
Posted on 29. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Vanessa Minnillo was this close to landing a role on The CW’s upcoming revival of the ’90s soap Melrose Place. That’s why the former MTV VJ was devastated to learn that she’d lost the part that would have seen her working side by side with Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, the former sister-in-law of her boyfriend Nick Lachey.
“She was down to the wire to be a series regular,” a friend tells Star. “When she found out she didn’t get the role she was devastated.”
I’d take this as a sign that a career in acting is not in Vanessa’s future. If her big debut in last summer’s box office stinker Disaster Movie wasn’t proof enough, anytime Ashlee Simpson has an easier time landing acting gigs than you, it’s time to hang up your head shot!
Vanessa recently appeared as a panel judge on ABC’s True Beauty. The show overall was an okay time filler but I was really disappointed in Vanessa’s on screen presence. She came across like she was trying way to hard or over acting- she made all of these over exaggerated facial expressions that girls do when they think that they are being cute-It was a real turn off. So much so that I had to stop watching the program because it was so distracting!
