- Diablo Cody wrote a column for Entertainment Weekly about her 90210 cameo experience. She boldly says the new 90210 is better than the original. Oh, Diablo. Any real fan knows that is not true!
- More Gossip Girl casting news! We heard in early February that Nate (Chace Crawford) is getting a cousin. Now we know who will be playing the role: Aaron Tviet, whose past credits mainly include Broadway shows.
- The Daily Beast has a really thought-provoking article called Gossip Girl Deathwatch. The story looks at similarities between The O.C.’s downfall (which you can read about here) and Gossip Girl’s current path.

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and The O.C.
6 02 2009- Diablo Cody tweeted about her guest appearance on 90210.
- TV Gal over on Zap2it wants to know which main character you’d like to see leave the show. Hard question!
- Unrelated to the above, Korbi at Zap2it is reporting that the show is casting someone to be Naomi’s older sister.
- Krysten Ritter is the first person to be cast in the Gossip Girl spin-off. Ritter will play Carol, Lily’s older sister.
- How am I just realizing now that Michael Cassidy (Zach, The O.C.) is on Privileged?? That’s what I get for never giving the show a chance! Cassidy will also be on Josh Schwartz’s online series, Rockville, CA.

Biggest Character Transformations Pt. 2
5 02 2009My look at the Biggest Character Transformations continues…
RYAN ATWOOD (The O.C.)
Who He Was: Ryan’s life seemed to be headed nowhere when he joined the Cohen family after being arrested for stealing a car. He couldn’t go a week without getting in a fight and struggled to control his anger, regardless of what was at stake.
Who He Became: Well, for starters, by the second-half of the last season, he was no longer getting in fights. In fact, I don’t think he threw any punches from that point on. He improved his relationships with those in his life, especially his formerly-estranged parents. In the series finale’s glimpse into the future, we saw him working as an architect and befriending a young troubled boy, much like Sandy did for him.
BROOKE DAVIS (One Tree Hill)
Who She Was: Brooke was known in high school for her promiscuity, adversity to studying and love of parties and shopping. The only glimpses we saw of the respectable woman she would later become was in her fledgling fashion line and her term as student government president.
Who She Became: Brooke took her small clothing company, Clothes Over Bros, and turned it into a national, multi-million dollar company. Recognizing there are more important things in life than wealth, she cared for an ill foster baby and took in a troubled teenager.

5 02 2009- Tuesday night’s 90210 scored in the ratings by achieving double-digit growth in all the key demographics.
- PEOPLE confirms that Shannen Doherty (Brenda) will be back on 90210 later this season but no clue as to what the storyline will be.
- As teased during last night’s episode, the Jonas Brothers will give a sneak peak of their new movie during next week’s 90210 and give a special performance. Jessica Lowdnes (Adrianna) says she hopes the Jo Bros will actually be on the show at some point.
- The New York Post has an interview with Aimee Teegarden (Friday Night Lights) about her new role as Rhonda on 90210.
- E!Online is reporting that AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) could be cast in the Twilight sequel.
- Ed Westwick (Chuck, Gossip Girl) is the new face of K-Swiss sneakers. You can see one of the ads here.
- Ausiello is reporting that, in an Anne Hathaway-like storyline, Serena (Blake Lively, Gossip Girl) will fall for a European guy who turns out to be less than genuine. This will eventually lead to Georgina’s (Michelle Trachtenberg) return.
- Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) has cast Austin Nichols (Julian, One Tree Hill) in a movie she’s making, and he hijacked her blog to tell you all about it.
- Instead of watching the Superbowl, one writer created Dawson’s Bowl 2009 after, yep, Dawson’s Creek.
- Closing The Ring, starring Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.) has been released on DVD.

4 02 2009- E!Online has video of Tori Spelling (Donna) filming with Jennie Garth (Kelly) and Jessica Stroup (Silver) on the 90210 set. Nothing revealing. They also have semi-revealing scoop about Gossip Girl (but nothing new if you read the spoiler post from earlier today!).
- Don’t usually post tabloid gossip but this is interesting, considering there’s been rumors for months: US Weekly has a photo of Ed Westwick (Chuck, Gossip Girl) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa, Gossip Girl) kissing. Or at least it seems to be Ed. Honestly not 100 percent sure it’s him.
- But if you want to spot Chuck himself in real life (or someone like him), you should read this post from Jossip.
- Or you can see Westwick at the upcoming Comic Con, where he’ll promote S. Darko. The film also stars James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill).
- Maureen Ryan from The Chicago Tribune has a cool interview with Josh Schwartz on the role music will play in the Gossip Girl spin-off.
- I don’t watch Big Love but apparently it improves upon what The O.C. got right in–and only in–the show’s first season. (For more on what The O.C. got right and then got wrong, as alluded to in the article, check out my own piece here!)

News Roundup: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and The O.C.
2 02 2009- CW couples dominated Portait Magazine’s poll of the Top 10 Young [Relation]Ships. Blair and Chuck (Gossip Girl) take the top spot but One Tree Hill’s Brucas, Naley and Leyton are numbers 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
- PEOPLE has a photo of a very dressed-down Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) and Penn Badgley (Dan, Gossip Girl) at DirecTV’s Celebrity Beach Bowl.
- After almost a month of searching, I finally found a promo for Benjamin McKenzie’s new show, retitled Southland, on NBC. Coincidentally, the audio track–Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch–was featured on The O.C. (and Dawson’s Creek!) once or twice!
