Brian Austin Green

When the new 90210 was first rumored my husband came clean about his past: in his teens, he used to have a Jennie Garth poster in his bedroom. I, like any wife worth her salt, gave him hell. So now, I ‘ll let you in on a tiny secret: I used to fancy Brian Austin Green way, back in the day.

Dylan & Brenda

Jason Priestly didn’t want to reprise his role as Brandon Walsh, but the actor is currently in talks to direct a 90210 episode next spring. Apparently, producers think it would ‘ad something special’. Uhuh.

Former onscreen sis Shannen was also back on the small screen for a bit and BH-90210 Wild Child managed to make waves even though she  hardly had any screen time at all, reportedly leaving in a bit of a huff, stating she ‘only came back as a show of gratitude to her fans’. Well, I’m sure all your fans are extremely gratified by your wonderful, inspirational performance, Shan!

Sources say Shannen is already in negotiations to be on the show another couple of episodes. Now why would they want to go and do that? Shannen’s character was axed from the original 90210 because of prima donna behavior and endless feuding. The same thing happened when she went on to star in the witchfest Charmed. Apparently, some people never learn. Back then, at least she was fresh and pretty, but these days it looks like they simply hose her down and throw her in front of a camera. So why would anyone bother?

Still not coming back is former heartthrob Luke Perry, aka Dylan McKay. He even refused to answer questions about his possible return in a recent interview. As the interviewer said ‘He’s Dylan McKay, what the hell does he think we want to talk about?’
With Perry’s recent career including little gems such as Biker mice from mars and the unforgettable The sandlot 3, we can totally understand that he’s obviously way too cool and busy to return to 90210!

90210

It’s one of life’s guilty little pleasures, the all new 90210. I really think it’s getting its act together. Starting out as a sappy family friendly show with well intentioned overall bad acting, I think we’re finally getting somewhere.

It helps that the focus is not completely on Annie anymore. She’s cute, but she’s so goody goody I hope that in good ol’ BH-90210 style, she’ll get addicted to something soon. Guess drugs are out after last episode, but hey, there’s always painkillers!

I loved the old show and that started out sappy too, and then from one day to the next they were all having sex (well, apart from Donna, but hey, she got addicted to pain killers!) and getting date raped and stuff. I think that’s just around the corner for the all new 90210. I’m glad they’ve moved with the times and are not advocating abstinence and carting everyone who ever has a drink off to rehab.

And they’re not all bad actors, Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) for one is ok.  One of the biggest beefs I have with Naomi is not her acting, it’s her age. She’s only 20 in real life, but she looks a well preserved 40. She looks older than her mom and a lot less hot, and this is the local IT- girl?

Which brings me to the biggest flaw: the clothes, the godawful clothes! These girls, Naomi, Silver, Adriana, they are supposed to be incredibly wealthy and hip, then why on earth do they dress like THAT? Last episode, uberpopular bitchqueen Naomi dressed in some kind of home made dirndl dress and Adriana, the budding starlet, in something off the rack at Walmarts’. Where is the Fashion? The Louboutins, the Prada, the Rodeo Drive bling? So far, the girls mothers look way more fashionable than they do and the guidance councellor fgs wears better shoes! Don’t know where you went to school, but I sincerely hope I was more with it than my guidance councellor. Then again, he didn’t look much like Kelly Taylor…

Anyway, whoever is in charge of the outfits @ 90210 could learn a lot from watching Gossip Girl. Or HIMYM.
