(Photo: Splash News Online) Lisa Rinna, one of the stars of the original Melrose Place, wants to be part of the CW reboot of the series. She wants it bad.
The 45 year-old actress -- most recently of Soap Talk on SoapNet -- has been publicly campaigning to be part of the series, which is set to return after a decade.
"Tell them I'm available, ready to go," she says. "I'm very professional and hardworking!"

Rinna admits she's not the producers' top priority: they're looking to pin down the breakout sex symbol star of the original series, Heather Locklear, before moving on.
"I'm way down on the totem pole," she adds. "You know, this one doesn't want to do it, that one doesn't want to do it, so I'm just hoping that they get down far enough to me, where they're finally like, 'Oh, just call Lisa... Just hire her, for God's sake! Stop her begging!'"
