RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: I may be the only person in the world who’s extremely excited by the breakup of Dan and Serena on Gossip Girl. What’s next for both of them? — Randi
Ausiello:
A new love triangle for Serena that will eventually set in motion that whole Anne Hathaway-inspired plot I told you about last week. What I failed to mention in that story was that when Serena’s grifter love interest is first introduced, he’s in a relationship with her socialite bud, Poppy Lifton!

(This really isn’t a spoiler so I don’t think my usual warning label is necessary!)

Please ask the producers of 90210 to quit shilling Dr. Pepper and splashing their logo all over the place. — Bill S.
MICKEY: I know, right? That logo is everywhere. My West Bev mole tells me that the Dr. Pepper deal was an experiment gone slightly awry. Future product placement will aim for more subtlety. Besides, Diet Coke with Lime is a far superior carbonated beverage, several free cases of which I would never turn down.





News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill

  • Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) will star in a miniseries for the BBC.  Not sure if it will air in the US.
  • Aimee Teegarden (Rhonda, 90210) says her character could return to the show, since they’ll leave the storyline open-ended.
  • AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210), Lindsay Price (Janet, Beverly Hills 90210) and Jessica Szhor (Vanessa, Gossip Girl) all took part in a recent AIDS fundraiser.  PEOPLE has a cute pic, and a quote from Szhor on her maybe relationship with Ed Westwick (Chuck, Gossip Girl).
  • Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) has a video up on her blog where she explains how she met her friend, Nick, who is the writer of the film she’s making.




Best Season-Ending Cliff-Hangers

11 02 2009

There’s one thing we simultaneously love and dread about our beloved teen dramas: the cliff-hanger.  While these plot twists guarantee drama to the nth degree, we’re left hanging–jaws dropped, hands in the air and heart palpitating–to see what will happen next.  And when the powers that be decide to use these cliff-hangers as season finales, we spend three months with baited breath, wondering how these stories will conclude.

Starting today I’ll take a look back at the most memorable season-ending cliff-hangers.  If these didn’t get you screaming at your TV, I don’t know what will!

5A. One Tree Hill: The Games That Play Us (Season 1)

5B. One Tree Hill: The Leavers Dance (Season 2)

5C. One Tree Hill: The Show Must Go On (Season 3)

Think I’m missing a very important OTH cliff-hanger?  Stay tuned!

Hey Korbi, Thanks for letting us know Adrianna and Navid would get back together. I love them as a couple! Any more 90210 news? -Kelley
I don’t know if the 9-0 writers have been watching too much Secret Life of the American Teenager — or maybe they’re partial to Engaged & Underage — but one of their young twosomes will be betrothed before the end of the season… while another couple we love will get to work on an internet sex video.





Tuesday Night Reaction

90210

  • Love how Jonas Brothers are “hosting” tonight but, in reality, all of this was pre-taped!
  • Naomi in that hotel is giving me Dylan flashbacks.  Also very Valerie of her.
  • And we finally meet the “new Dylan.”  Let the disappointment begin.
  • Wow, Silver became a sap in one week’s time.  Foreshadowing her mental problems?
  • That was an intense Whitney Houston reference!
  • And some intense in-school Valentine’s Day decorations!
  • Good for Annie getting into that class.  Don’t necessarily want to actually see that storyline though.
  • Rhonda’s still faking it, apparently.
  • Extended ANTM commercial really necessary?
  • Navid has his arm around Nika!  How close have they gotten?!
  • That Adrianna tirade was way out of character for him.
  • Q1: “I’m getting pity flowers from the faculty.”–Adrianna (Hilariously sad!)
  • Q2: “If I was going to the Island of Lesbos, you’d be my pick.”–Naomi
  • Imagine how many times Ethan has said “I owe you” since the accident@
  • Wow, good for Rhonda for coming clean.
  • Mature response by Ethan but also a little strong and probably gave her the wrong impression.  (Or maybe he does have romantic feelings for her?)
  • ENOUGH WITH THE DR. PEPPER!
  • Guess A and N still hate each other.  Oh well.
  • Q3: “Tell me it’s the Portabello quiche I dreamt about last night.”–Adrianna
  • There’s that acting class I didn’t want to see.  Great.
  • Ironic that Annie’s getting the point that she’s not such a good actor, when that’s what a lot of viewers think about Shenae Grimes!
  • Surprised she didn’t run out of the class.  That was really embarassin!
  • So do the Jo. Bros. segments mean we’re getting a shorter episode this week?  Or less commercials? Let’s hope the latter!
  • Q4: “I think Nat got a little carried away with the Valentine’s theme.”– Ethan (At least he was mentioned, but let’s see him!)
  • LOL Love that Silver tried that classic move with the host.
  • Stuffed Hentapus reference!
  • That’s an expensive dare!  Is this a true story?
  • Wow, did he really take Rhonda’s hand in front of Annie?!
  • Aw, I forgot Naomi and Silver used to be close!
  • Q5: “We’re not exactly friends or even frienemies.”–Silver
  • Naomi is getting her flirt on!  And it pays off…
  • Q6: “Well, if I had a girl, I wouldn’t be flirting with your friend here.”–Liam
  • Silver and her accent bit was hilarious.
  • Adrianna should’ve kept walking right past Navid.  Let him chase her!
  • Really love the sweet side of Adrianna.  And the vulnerable side.
  • Silver is still hanging with Naomi!  Wow!
  • Is Silver a manic?  Super-high highs (now), super-low lows (last week). David is her brother, after all.  Then again, David gets it from his mom who Silver isn’t related to.  Hmmm.
  • True that actors channel past painful moments.
  • Going to steal Rhonda’s story?  You betcha!
  • The flashbacks aren’t necessary.  We get what’s going on!  It was just a few minutes ago!
  • What’s the point of this?  This device only works if she’s going to get caught.
  • Damn, she got caught!
  • Is Ethan’s reaction fair?
  • Q7: “I can’t even look at you.”–Ethan
  • Q8: “What’s better than wow?” “I don’t but there needs to be a word.”–Dixon and Silver
  • Dixon’s Chris Brown resemblance is especially strong tonight.  Maybe he’s just on my mind given recent events!
  • Will Liam show?  Was Naomi too forward?
  • Hello, angry Silver!
  • Does the bracelet just say her name? (Like, is the point Silver on silver?)
  • Q9: “I love you and I want to be with you.”
  • Annie’s crying is a little much.
  • HSM 3 commercial!
  • Correct to assume Silver and Dixon are both virgins, right?
  • Was wondering who would make the first move.
  • Can see how Rhonda was led-on.  Can also see why Ethan was taken aback.  Hmmm…
  • Do we have to worry about her taking sleeping pills now?
  • Aw, Navid came by!  Mixed signals all around!  What happened to Nika?!
  • Q10: “You have what I hope is chocolate all of your face.–Navid
  • Q11: “It wasn’t anywhere near perfect.”  “Why?”  “Because I wasn’t with you.  So I wanted to ask you something.  Will you be my Valentine?”  (Aw!)
  • Correct to assume Silver and Dixon did actually sleep together, right?
  • Holey moley!  Silver is an idiot!
  • Q12: “…so don’t go changing it or I’m gonna be really upset!”–Silver
  • Whew, Rhonda is alive and well.  Guess that’s a good thing.
  • Very Brenda-Dylan-Kelly of Ethan to look at both girls and then just walk away.
  • Well, hello Harry!
  • Never guessed that Liam was lying too!
  • He does mad really well!
  • That’s how the episode ends?!  We deserve a better ending than that!  That was just commercial break-worthy!
  • Promo: 90210 is going Fast & the Furious style.
  • No new episodes until March 31st!  What’s with our shows going into repeat mode?  Ugh!
  • Don’t forget: this episode will be repeated tomorrow!

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill

10 02 2009
  • JustJared has a peek at the cover of Tori Spelling’s (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) new book, Mommywood, which will be released in April.
  • Philly.com has a story on the “coincidence” that both 90210 and Gossip Girl have long-lost sibling storylines.
  • In the February 16, 2009 issue of PEOPLE, there is a column called “3 Reasons I Love Dorota, Gossip Girl Domestic.”  The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
  • Are these the real Twitter accounts of Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill), Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) and Mark Schwahn (Max/creator, One Tree Hill)?  Debate!
  • More stunt casting coming to OTH: Nick Lachey will play himself in an upcoming episode.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Bella in Austin, Texas: Do you know if David will return with Donna when she heads for 90210?
There’s a chance Mr. Silver (Brian Austin Green) will eventually head back to the infamous ZIP code. He’s currently in Japan, but Tori Spelling tells us, “His lady Donna is in L.A., so maybe he’ll come on over.” For you hard-core original 90210 fans, don’t worry, David’s not hitting the speed anymore. He’s clean and “he’s a papa now,” adds Tori.

Margaret in Seattle: I still cannot believe that Nate and Blair are hooking up! What will happen with Vanessa?
Jessica Szohr
tells us, “Obviously, Vanessa’s a little bit hurt because that’s her boyfriend, but what comes around goes around, so I’m sure Vanessa will be all right.” Looks like Queen B may be getting yet another lesson in karma. Will it humble her or cause her claws to retract? Of course not!

Frances in Boston: Will Dan and Serena’s half brother make an appearance?
I’m told the tentative plan is to make him a major character next season. So that may put a big ol’ nail in the coffin of what was once our beloved Derena. Anyone care?

Leslie in Hattiesburg, Miss.: Now that Ty’s sticking around on 90210, will he be going after Annie?
That’s what I’m hearing. Now that he’s freed up from the baby-mama drama, Adam Gregory tells me, “He’s the kind of guy who’s going to take what he wants. He’s not going to let anyone stand in his way!” And it sounds like Ethan won’t see it coming either, since he’s got a new somethin’-somethin’ blooming with Rhonda (Aimee Teegarden). Dustin Milligan tells me, “It’s looking like there are going to be some drastic turns for everybody’s character? Ethan Ward gets to kiss everybody, remember that.”
