- More people watched 90210 on DVR this week than any other show.
- Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina, Gossip Girl) says she doesn’t know what her storyline will be when she returns to GG but she loves playing a “nasty bitch.”

27 01 2009RELEVANT 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!
- Blair and Nate getting back together is old news. I forget who broke it, but I did read it a while ago. While I am not opposed to the idea, it’s hard to believe Blair and Chuck still won’t be getting together. I much rather see a Nate and Serena pairing.
- Donna having problems with David = NOT ACCEPTABLE, especially if BAG isn’t even on the show. I am sick of the new 90210 rewriting history and ruining the way the original ended. It is so disrespectful to longtime fans.
- And calling Matt Lanter the new Dylan McKay is a little premature. Would be interesting/annoyingly predictable, though, if it ends up being another Brenda-Dylan-Kelly triangle.
- I really don’t want to see Lucas’ movie get shut down…except if it starts back up. I’d love to see snippets of the final product, a premiere, etc. Then again, it is getting to be very Dawson’s Creek-like where Dawson makes the movie (in the show’s penultimate episode) based on his life/the actual show.
- Am I off my rocker about all this? What do you guys think?

Shenae Grimes on Melodramatic Storylines
27 01 2009“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.”

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.

Site of the Week: The Vicious Circle
26 01 200990210’s Silver is always blogging on her site The Vicious Circle. The creative folks over at The CW went to the trouble of creating an actual blog for us all to read. And it ain’t half bad.
My favorite post: when she waxes philosophical about older sis Kelly and her relationship with Dylan.
“Yet for some reason, Kelly and Dylan just can’t seem to get it together. It’s this weird push and pull. They’re like two magnets that repel each other –- you’d think that they should be able to make things work, but there are crazy polar forces that keep it from happening. I’ve seen them together, and what they’ve got going is this storybook, telenovela kind of love. But it’s also an idiotic, telenovela kind of love. And even when they think it’s over, it’s never really over.”
So true, Silver. So true!

90210 Locations Pt. 6
25 01 2009One of the most iconic 90210 places is The Peach Pit, seen in all 10 years of the show and nearly every episode.
The interior of The Peach Pit was actually a set constructed on the 90210 lot in Van Nuys. But the exterior was a building located in Pasadena. Film shoots only happened there once in a while but it was still worth a trip.
As you can see from the picture below, the building looks very different from what we know it as. Most noticeably, it’s been refaced and a sushi restaurant is under construction! You can still recognize the iconic double doors, though.

On the new series, The Peach Pit has undergone many changes as well. First, it’s now a hip cafe instead of an old-fashioned diner. Secondly, it has presumably changed locations considering the exteriors and interiors are completely different. And, most importantly, it’s now just known as The Pit.
And where is The Pit really located? In the heart of Los Angeles at the Komoko Cafe.

When I arrived at Komoko Cafe for breakfast, I requested a table “in the back.” Their response: “Why? Do you not want to be seen?” Apparently they thought I was famous and hiding from paparazzi! In actuality, I just wanted to sit the outside porch near the Dr. Pepper-plastered bar. Well, turns out, that is actually a constructed set and doesn’t really exist!
I, somewhat embarrassingly, explained the reason for my confusion which led to a brief discussion about the show filming there. They film very infrequently because most of the stock footage can be used again, just like they did on the original show. Komoko Cafe was the site of a recent press party attended by the cast just days before I arrived. Too bad I wasn’t there for that!
Check out more pictures below and come back tomorrow for the final part of my 90210 journey.

Random Thought
25 01 2009I just remembered–while thinking about how much I can’t stand Annie/Shenae Grimes on 90210–that Hilary Duff was originally offered the role. I can’t help but wonder how that would’ve turned out. Would we hate Annie as much as everyone seems to? Would we hate her even more?
What are your thoughts?

- Variety has an article on TV remakes that notes how redoing 90210 has helped The CW.
