Exclusive: Pete and Ashlee escape to 'CSI: NY'

Categories: CSI: NY

Wentzsimpson_lIf there were any lingering doubts as to which of the three CSIs was the most stunt happy, this next story should erase them: Sources confirm to me exclusively that ubiquitous real-life couple Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz just closed a deal to guest star on CSI: NY.

A show spokesperson declined to comment, but I’m told the Wentzes will not be playing themselves in the episode, which is slated to air on March 18. Rather, they will be playing Bonnie and Clyde wannabes.

Question time: Is this cheeky, attention-getting piece of casting a shrewd business decision on the part of CSI: NY producers, or yet another sign of the impending apocalypse? Weigh in below!

    March 18th?! Ashlee probably didn’t gain MUCH baby weight cause she was formerly a STICK, but she lost all the baby weight after the holidays and is comfortable filming?! WoW.

  • melbye

    They don’t need this bulls**t.

  • Stephanie

    It would be cool to see those two on a show I actually watch.

  • Marcus

    Great, another reason not to watch CSI: NY.

  • frank

    hopefully the episode ends with Bonnie off to prison so Clyde can become a recurring character

  • laura

    wait … Ashlee speaks? hhmm I thought the rule for every ‘Celebrity ‘ couple was that onces you get marry … the female does not speak.

  • alexandra

    i’m sorry i still think the most insanely ridiculous is CSI:Miami where all labwork they finish ends in a day. At least you see changes between night and day on CSI:NY.

  • Marie

    This is why I do not watch CSI: NY. I mean.. really? Are you that starved for a storyline?

  • mk

    Bonnie and Clyde wannabees? What a eye rolling mess that’s going to be.

  • Faylinn

    Stunt casting is so “hip”.
    *facepalm*

  • wildbill

    Just another reason to still not watch just another boring (every episode is the same), plain vanilla cop show.

  • Kimmy

    I think this will be interesting to see.

  • Firbette

    Does it have to be “or”? And why does someone as talented as Gary Sinese put up with this?

  • Erin

    WTF? Pete Wentz is the biggest douchebag in history!
    This is FAIL casting not stunt casting.

  • muppykitty

    I happen to like Ashlee, and I think she’s a much better actress then she is a singer. She was very good on 7th Heaven. Now Pete on the other hand should stick to music. I caught his acting on One Tree Hill, and he can’t even play himself on TV.
    I don’t know why CSI: NY takes so much heat. I think it’s a great show, now that they’ve gotten it back on track. I did think there were some plot line issues with the way they handled the Danny/Lindsey story, but they seem to have given it some direction now.

    he looks gross here

    I happen to be a Bonnie & Clyde “buff”, and in case anyone here doesn’t know, the REAL B&C were ambushed 75 years ago this May. I find it extremely annoying the way anytime a male/female crime duo pops up on television or in movies, they are automatically identified with “Bonnie and Clyde”, just like those two pysychos in “Natural Born Killers” were. In reality, B&C were NOT of that ilk. Nothing more than blatant exploitation; people who write this crap need a little history lesson!
    Though they remain eternally controversial, Bonnie and Clyde are true legends — and that little Simpson girl and her punk/poser hubby don’t even come close to being worthy of a comparison.

    It might just be me thinking this but… is csi:ny trying to catch some viewers that will inevitably leave csi. As good as Laurence Fishburne is, I have a feeling some people will leave in protest because of all the people who have “died” and “left to find themselves”. I personally will still watch as long as I can mute the scenes with the new chick in it.
    But come on Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz?!?!?!
    Almost as bad as Rumour Willis.

  • ayla marie

    are you kiding me?! i totally agree w/ shelly
    but who would want that hoe bag on their TeVe show, thatll kill ratings instead of raise them, wow

  • Alex

    Yeah, it was Listen 2 This. I liked those, but then they started not being exclusively about music, (they started to include video games & comic books too) http://cleaning.emenace.com/cleanroo93/4.html housecleaning software undefined

  • Jeri

    jumping. the. shark.

  • Katherine

    Why the hell does everyone have to be so hateful and involved with a couple that most people have never even met?!
    They seem happy together, and in my opinion they make a really cute couple.
    By the way, Pete Wentz deserves all the credit that he gets: he writes the lyrics for Fall Out Boy, and without him they wouldn’t be the same band.
    Ashlee is a totally different story musically, but I’m cheering them on and hope they do well as a couple and stay together!
    I’ll definitely be watching their episode of CSI :)
