Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl) is on the cover of the March issue of Seventeen.
You can read excerpts of the cover story here.
Among the highlights: she doesn’t like to gossip, she’s still dating Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl) and she loves “bad boys.”
In case you missed it, Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) was on Seventeen’s cover during the summer–while I was interning there! You can see that cover here.
YESTERDAY: BEVERLY HILLS, 90210
TODAY: DAWSON’S CREEK
JEN-DAWSON-JOEY
How It Started: Best friends since they were little kids, Joey and Dawson’s friendship begins to fracture when Dawson becomes infatuated with the new girl in town, Jen. Though Joey is harboring secret romantic feelings for Dawson, he begins seeing Jen.
How It Ended: Dawson’s relationship with Jen doesn’t last long and he soon realizes he has feelings for Joey, too. They are together off and on throughout the series (they end off; see below) but Dawson and Jen also get back together for a short time in season 5.

DAWSON-JOEY-PACEY
How It Started: In season 3, Pacey begins to develop feelings for Joey. Much to Joey’s surprise, she does as well. They hesitantly pursue a relationship in secret but Joey calls things off after Dawson finds out and reacts negatively. By the end of the season, though, Dawson realizes he cannot stand in the way of their love and so Joey and Pacey begin a relationship.
How It Ended: The memories of her relationship with Dawson hang like a cloud over both Joey and Pacey during their relationship. They break up towards the end of the season 4, and Joey and Dawson share a kiss in that season’s finale. Throughout seasons 5 and 6, Joey and Dawson struggle with the idea of being together again. In season 6, Joey and Pacey do get back together before a short time before Joey calls it off. In the series finale, which takes place 5 years after the end of season 6, Joey is again torn by Dawson and Pacey. Ultimately, though, she chooses to spend her life with Pacey.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Georgia in North Dakota: I love Toni Collette‘s new show The United States of Tara! What can you dish? I’ll take that or Gossip Girl.
I’ll give you both. At the premiere party for the show, Brie Larson (Tara’s daughter) showed up with a familiar Gossip Girl face. Her real life boyfriend is none other than Serena van der Woodsen’s ex-flame Aaron Rose (John Patrick Amedori). Kooky, right? When asked if she’s jealous that John was making out with Blake Lively Brie tells me: “You know, I don’t care. I think she kind of looks like me, so I don’t really take offense to it. I just envision that it’s myself…Whatever! He’s still my boyfriend!”
Randall in Miami: What’s the latest on Gossip Girl?
A former bigtime couple that some of you (though, admittedly, very few of you) love will be getting back together and who it is certainly surprised the pants off of me! Also, Nate’s grandfather makes him an offer that’s too good to pass up, which leads to Vanessa feeling out of place, and the dynamic of that relationship shifting. Basically the whole rest of the season is relationship roulette.
Wanda2Saints: Who is the GG couple getting back together?
Not Jenny and Nate, despite the purposely misleading photo at right. (Shhhhh!) And yes, right now you Chuck and Blair fans should be weeping, ’cause this old couple reconnecting totally means that Bluck or Chair (or whatever your name of choice) will not become a real couple any time soon this season.
Margaret in Tallahassee: What’s next for Rufus and Lily?
Rufus and Lily continue to play house, which continues to sicken the kids…and continues to seriously trigger my morning sickness. This baby is not a Rufus and Lily fan.
Any word on Tori’s comeback to 90210?
I’m hearing Donna (Tori Spelling) comes back to Bev Hills and reveals she’s having problems with David (paging Brian Austin Green!). Seriously, have any of these women been lucky in love?! I feel for the old school 90210-ers! The upside, though, is that their careers all appear to be going well (and global). Word is, Donna is thinking about opening a clothing store in Los Angeles and she’s already a huge success in Japan.
Emily in Rapid City, S.D.: Have you heard any details on the new Dylan on 90210?
Yes, Matt Lanter soon joins the cast as the new Dylan McKay, and AnnaLynne McCord tells me she’ll be the first to get in on that action, “He is the bad boy and Naomi starts to love herself some bad boy…He] just throws her so off her Naomi world and off its axis, that it kind of intrigues her, so she feels challenged. He gets her into trouble.” And it looks like Shenae Grimes may also get into the mix., “I feel like there’s going to be a triangle somewhere there,” she tells me, “and I wouldn’t complain if I was apart of said triangle.”
Katrina in Auburn, N.Y.: Kristin, please tell me Josh Henderson will be back on 90210!
The maybe-he-is-maybe-he-isn’t, long lost Wilson kid might not be finished with Beverly Hills just yet! Josh tells me that the fate of Sean Cavanaugh has yet to be determined. ” I don’t think he’s done by any means. There are still things up in the air where I might be the son. It’s worth watching, I’ll just say that. My guy’s still bouncing back and forth.”
Gregory in Eugene, Ore: Anything you can share on One Tree Hill?
Looks like Lucas’ movie is going to get shut down.
***
Wow, this was so jam-packed with scoop that made me mad that I just have to comment!
“There hasn’t been that much real suffering on our show. I think suffering comes from drama or bad things that happen because of bad intentions. And usually on our show the drama that is inflicted upon people doesn’t come from a negative place. I think pain does come, but there are so many loved ones around.”
Love triangles are one of the major characteristics of teen dramas, often the most talked about, debated and controversial. So what happens in a love triangle? This (or some derivation of this) in a nutshell: Boy meets girl. Boy dates girl. Girl falls for someone else. Girl dates that someone else. Girl goes back to boy number one, but still has feelings for that someone else. She may end up with boy number one OR boy number two. You have to watch to find out!
In the next six days, I’ll be posting about the need-to-know love triangles from the 6 major teen dramas.
TODAY: BEVERLY HILLS, 90210
BRENDA-DYLAN-KELLY
How It Started: Brenda and Dylan began dating in season one. While Brenda was in France the summer before senior year (season 3), Dylan and Kelly had an affair. When Brenda and Dylan broke up, Dylan was going to begin dating Kelly until Brenda found out and he had second thoughts. He spent a while debating who he wanted to be with before ultimately choosing Kelly.
How It Ended: When Kelly and Dylan broke up at the end of season 4, it seemed Dylan and Brenda were going to get back together. This did not actually happen, though, until some time in season 6, and it occurred off-screen. Dylan returned to Beverly Hills in season 9, where he admitted to Kelly that he and Brenda had been apart for two years. In the series finale, in season 10, Kelly and Dylan committed to each other again.
Key Episodes: 3.3-3.7, 3.13, 3.19, 4.30-4.32, 6.32, 9.9, 10.28
YouTube Evidence: Brenda/Dylan/Kelly Love Triangle
DYLAN-KELLY-BRANDON
How It Started: While Dylan and Kelly were still dating in season 4, Kelly accompanied Brandon on a school retreat where they shared a passionate kiss. When Dylan and Kelly broke up at the end of the season, Kelly followed Brandon to Washington, D.C. where they gave into their feelings and started a relationship, affectionately named Brelly by fans. Dylan, predictably, was not happy about this when he found out a few months later. At the end of season 5, Dylan tried to get Kelly back by offering her a trip around the world. Brandon, realizing he might lose her, proposed. Kelly made a memorable choice and proclaimed a now-classic line: “I choose me.”
How It Ended: With Dylan no longer in Beverly Hills, Kelly and Brandon get back together towards the latter half of season 7. They get engaged in season 8 but decide at the last minute not to go through with the wedding. At the beginning of season 9, they try to still have a relationship but that fails, in part because Brandon chooses to take a job on the East Coast. Dylan returns to Beverly Hills not long after Brandon leaves, but it’s not until the end of season 10 that Dylan and Kelly commit to each other again.
Key Episodes: 4.22-4.23, 4.31-4.32, 5.2, 5.30, 7.26, 8.32, 9.1-9.3, 9.6, 9.9, 10.8, 10.28

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6
I spent a small portion of my 90210 journey traveling to secondary sites. That is, locations that appeared on the show but weren’t primary or all that significant.
This included Melrose Place and 7250 (where Now Wear This and Matt’s law office were located).
As you can see below, they both look a bit different than how they appeared on the show. To be fair, though, that was more than nine years ago!
As you may notice, I didn’t include The Peach Pit After Dark on my journey. The After Dark–outside and inside–was shot on the 90210 lot in Van Nuys. We drove by and you could clearly tell where the iconic After Dark awning was but it wasn’t easy to take a picture. Swingtown, recently canceled, has been filming on the lot recently and I do regret not taking a picture of that sign.
So there you have it: 90210 up close and personal.
I did skip a number of secondary sites, such as Andrea and Jesse’s apartment, a few of the hotels and a bunch of places only seen in one episode. The purpose of the trip was to visit the main places where 90210 was filmed, places I’ve seen on TV hundreds of times since I was 9 years old. I think we can all agree: mission accomplished!
Remember, you can find out how to create your own 90210 journey here!

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
I don’t think Silver is being bitchy at all. Annie and Ethan on 90210 are totally annoying!! -Kara
No worries, as I reported a while back, the nauseating couple will break up before the end of the season. As for Silver and Dixon’s recent estrangement, it won’t last long. Those two have many more trials to look forward to. As I told you weeks ago, Silver is going to have a mental breakdown — which not only brings her sister-in-law Donna Martin back to town — but also ensures a supportive Dixon at her side.
What’s up with Diablo Cody’s 90210 appearance? -BSGfan
The rumors are true, Donna Martin will definitely be making her a dress for some high profile premiere. Mrs. David Silver is going to walk the red carpet with Diablo, forging the newest Bob Mackie–Cher type partnership. Oh, and p.s., I’m hearing Ms. Cody might be sporting a hamburger-shaped cell phone on the show.
