I hate to get all Ryan Seacrest-y on you here, but there is very little going on in the NBA world right now. Beno Udrih (notes) has a swollen left knee and Baron Davis (notes) loves this baby's t-shirt. That's it. There's nothing else. Well, besides this breaking news.

Former Laker Rick Fox has been added to the cast of "Melrose Place."

The ex-NBA forward is currently filming his first episode on The CW drama, a publicist for the show confirmed to Access Hollywood.
Rick, who hit the set for the first time on Thursday, is playing a nightclub boss in the revamped series.
'He plays the owner of COAL,' the 'Melrose Place' rep told Access.

My sources tell me COAL is the hot nightclub on the series frequented by its young cast, including Auggie (played by Colin Egglesfield) and Violet ("played" by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz). Sounds like a real winner.

Unless I'm getting my crappy CW '90s remakes confused, Rick will confront Kelly about sleeping with Dylan in the Peach Pit parking lot — which is directly across the street from COAL, you see — around episode eight. Then Donna graduates and Rick turns into Wolverine. The end. Spoiler alert.

Of course, as soon as I post this, I see that sources say Sessions and the Wolves have a deal and Lee is going to sign for one year in New York. Damn you, Murphy!

Reggie Miller's looking good. Rick Fox is on the rebound from Vanessa Williams, he passes it to the man.....Vince Vaughn shoots the 3 and "BOOM" goes the dynamite! Vince Vaughn, Jr in 9 months? You decide! Discuss!

I'd think Daniel Gibson would like the baby's t-shirt more.

Isn't this like that time Friends finally put a black woman on the show? LOL. Or does Melrose Place actually have a more realistic view of the world.

Maybe Rick will be more succesful playing a night club owner on tv than a basketball player in real life. I mean who's coat tails can he ride on MP?

Yeah. Because the show wasn't going to be bad enough without a novelty actor who stars in quality flicks written and directed by theatrical genius Tyler Perry.

guess the producers of Melrose Place finally realized that the world is not monochromatic......zzzzzzzzzz...........but why not cast a seasoned actor instead of a pretty boy wanna be?

He's prettier than Vanessa! Didn't know that show was still on. Actually, didn't even know it exists. At least it has a big cast, keepin' all those actors off the streets (literally).

Please get Rick Fox out of television. First he was appearing in "The Game", now he's appearing in "Melrose Place?" Who cares? He was a washed up player now he tryin to be "a supporting actor" in TV shows. Wow Rick your career is really becoming insignificant.
