Former Melrose Place Actress Amy Locane-Bovenizer Convicted of Vehicular Homicide

Originally posted 11/27/2012 02:15PM

Melrose Place alum Amy Locane-Bovenizer on Tuesday was convicted of vehicular homicide stemming from a 2010 accident in which the actress drove with a blood-alcohol level that was nearly three times the legal limit.

Locane-Bovenizer, 40, was acquitted of a more serious charge of aggravated manslaughter after her SUV hit another car, killing a 60-year-old woman and injuring her husband as they were turning into their driveway in Montgomery Township, N.J.

The actress faces five to 10 years in prison – plus another three to five years in prison for a conviction on a second count of assault by auto due to the injuries she caused Fred Seeman, who was seriously injured. His wife, Helene Seeman, was killed in the June 2010 crash.

Grant Show is on the road to becoming single.

The wife of the former Melrose Place actor has filed for divorce, according to Los Angeles Superior Court documents obtained Tuesday.

Citing irreconcilable differences, actress Pollyanna McIntosh says the assets at stake include her diamond wedding ring, her diamond and sapphire engagement ring, a 1968 Mustang convertible, a 1978 Corvette Singray and furniture and appliances.

McIntosh, 32, and Show, 49, wed in 2004, after meeting on a Lane Bryant shoot in 2003 where they posed together in the ad. They have no children.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz & Colin Egglesfield Moving Out of Melrose Place

Originally posted 10/22/2009 12:00AM

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is moving out of Melrose Place … the actress and her costar Colin Egglesfield have been cut from the CW drama, Entertainment Weekly reports.

The decision to cut the two actors has been "the original plan going into the development of the show," executive producer Todd Slavkin tells EW. "We felt that once the murder mystery involving their characters was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift … and Simpson-Wentz's character would move on."

In a statement released after the announcement, Simpson-Wentz said, "Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity."

Laura Leighton Returns for CW's New Melrose Place

Originally posted 04/06/2009 02:55PM

Laura Leighton's character Sydney Andrews is back from the dead to star in the CW's new version of Melrose Place.

"It was a near-fatal accident. You never actually saw her dead," says a source familiar with the show, referring to what looked like Sydney's demise in the original Melrose Place.

At the end of Season 5 of Melrose, a car struck Sydney on her wedding day and left fans believing that she'd died. But appearances can be deceiving: Leighton is back as Sydney who will be the landlord on the network's updated series.

The cast is complete, says a source, and they'll start shooting the pilot next week.
