Lots of News...

... about 90210 of course, as the premiere date gets closer (9.02), more and more news is out, including the first promo featuring Brenda & Kelly together.

Also, here's a sneak peek at the new Peach Pit.

And then there's word that Tori Spelling may not be out forever...

And, at what point will we learn that the new "Silver" is Erin Silver (Mel & Jackie's kid)?
This info from an article may get us one step closer:

"While the new show seems to embrace diversity in a far more explicit way than the original — which was roundly criticized for its all-white cast — there are no wholly Jewish characters this time around. The closest is a female character known as “Silver,” who, according to a spokesman for the show, is half-Jewish. Silver is presumably a descendant of the original show’s other Jewish character, David Silver, who dabbled in being a hip-hop DJ, as did the actor who played him, Brian Austin Green. Green is now a series regular on the Fox show “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.”

Bombshell I didn't know about:
Green (as in Brian Austin Green) has a son, Kassius, with former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star Vanessa Marcil.
I knew he dated Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, but had no idea about crazy Gina!
Also, did you know Ian Ziering is 44?!?!?

Well, I think it's clear that I can hardly wait the 18 days until the show launches!

90210: Stop the Insanity

Word on the street is, Tori Spelling is begging 9-0-Deuce producers to let her real-life hubby, Dean McDermott, appear in the new show. C'mon. Now, I'll admit, I like the "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" show on Oxygen. And I don't watch reality TV. But seriously, you're trying to get him on the show. Lame. That would be like me asking my boss to let Chad anchor sports at work. (I'm sure he'd do great, but it just doesn't work like that). So, let the rage begin. I have to say, I'm pumped for the new show, but Tori needs to let the nepotism die with her dad. (Was that too far?)

In other 90210 news, there is a new promo out that features Jennie Garth. (Producers, you BETTER NOT change the show's theme music, c'mon! What are you doing to us?) Now, it's official. I also learned Carol Potter will NOT be part of the new show, because she's doing some show called "Greek." And, I stumbled upon this "Old 90210" trivia article. Test your knowledge. (My score: You got 100% correct. Either you've had wikipedia open this whole time or you are simply amazing. Tell your friends and make them slow clap for you.)

USA Today is also on the 90210 bandwagon, with an article comparing the "old" version (I think I prefer "classic" or "original" to the "new").

And now you are up to date... for tonight.

"Brandon did his time."

Another 90210 update, this about Jason Priestley, who says "thanks, but no thanks" to an offer to star in the spinoff. Apparently, Dylan McKay has the same answer, while Steve Sanders is begging producers to let him back on the show. Here's the latest from Australia's "Herald Sun," (which is a great source for good entertainment news, btw):

"IN A BLOW to producers planning a Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off, the star of the original series, Jason Priestley, has rejected the offer to reprise his TV role.
The 38-year-old actor - who starred in the hit 90s US TV show from 1990 to 2000 - was approached to star in the show for US TV network CW, but has declined.He said: "I think I sort of ran the gamut with Brandon - 249 episodes. I think Brandon did his time." However, Priestley revealed he is considering returning to direct some of the new episodes, adding: "They're talking to my people about seeing if they can slot me in over there. I directed more episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210 than anybody. I directed 18 episodes."
Despite Priestley turning down the chance to appear in the show, his former castmates Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth have signed up for the series while Shannen Doherty is reportedly in talks with producers to reprise her role as Brenda Walsh, Jason's character Brandon's sister. However, Doherty will not commit to the role until she has seen her character's storyline. A source said: "Shannen is interested, but she wants to know what the story is going to be first. She also wants more money than they are apparently offering." Luke Perry - who starred as Brenda's love interest Dylan McKay in the show - recently admitted he has no intention of joining the new series. He said: "I can't re-imagine it currently. It's just not something that I've thought about to be quite honest. I don't see it happening.""

More 90210 News!

Eonline just posted some exciting new news about the 90210 spinoff. I hope Hannah is way cooler than her annoying mom in the new show. And does this mean Kelly and Dylan didn't work out? Wouldn't it be cooler if Donna was the fashion design teacher? And what high school offers a fashion design class? Certainly good ol' Romeoville High School didn't back in the early 90's. Here are some more deets from comingsoon.com. And even more info from ABC News (the most reputable in the bunch. So far, the show sounds like it will be really lame, although Rob Thomas is writing the pilot--no, not that Rob Thomas, the dude who worked on Dawson's Creek. The plan is to have some tape available on the spinoff for the May upfronts. Man, I hope I can get my hands on it! Am I too old to be obsessing over teen dramas and who's writing them? Yes. Thanks for asking. Get your own hobby.
