Grant Show Wasn't the Only Fine Art on 'Melrose Place'

Cameron Diaz lives in nearby Walker Tower, but now I'm more interested in a possible Jake Hanson sighting ...

The Red Bull Music Academy is hosting an exhibition of by conceptual artist Mel Chin, who persuaded Aaron Spelling from 1995 to 1997 to allow him to provide artworks and props for the sudsy show’s apartment-complex set, with coded cultural messages on topics like reproductive rights, American foreign policy, alcoholism and sexual politics. (Huh?)


And all these years I thought the only message from "Melrose Place" was how to hide a giant zig-zag scar under your wig. Read HERE.
