News Roundup: 90210, Dawson’s Creek, Gossip Girl and More

19 01 2009

Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210) is given the backhanded compliment of “looking better” in the January 26^th issue of PEOPLE. She’s among two others (Nicole Richie and Amy Winehouse) who were “once blasted for appearing dangerously thin [and now] are starting the new year with fitter figures.”
Korbi over at Zap2it says the Annie/Ethan drama on 90210 is “killing” her. Says Korbi: “The series seems insistent on making them the epicenter of the show and I can’t stress what a bad idea this is.” I have to agree, only because I can’t really stand Annie.
Adam Kaufman (Ethan, Dawson’s Creek) stars alongside Lauren Ambrose in the CBS movie Loving Leah, which airs this Sunday.
The January 23^rd issue of Entertainment Weekly gives a fresh take on Heath Ledger’s death, and the role his relationship with Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) played in it.
In that same issue, EW gives Jessica Szhor’s Vanessa (Gossip Girl) a “death wish.” The mag writes, “Face it, Gossip Girl. Your resident hipster is about as much of a renegade as Nick on Family Ties. It’s about time she was run over by a Starbucks delivery truck.”
The One Tree Hill fan reunion has mysteriously been canceled…You can read why here.

Site of the Week: 90210Locations

19 01 2009

While in Los Angeles this past week, I was planning on doing some scouting, based on my own knowledge, of places seen on Beverly Hills, 90210.

And then about a week before I left, I found this: 90210Locations, the most thorough listing of all the sites I’ve seen on the show.

Where is Casa Walsh really located? They have it.

Where was Jack McKay allegedly blown up? They have it.

Where were all the locations of The Peach Pit? They have it.

Where are the locations of the new 90210? They have it.

And when I tell you I was hyperventilating when I found this, I am not exaggerating.

All this week I’ll post the pictures I took at the locations I visited.

But whether you actually get to go there or not, this site is THE resource to have.

Special thanks to Geoff for all his help!

Gossip Girl Spin-Off Details!

18 01 2009

Watch with Kristin reports the following:

After months of denials, there will in fact be a Gossip Girl spin-off.
But even though rumors said it was going to be about Lily and Rufus in their younger years, it’s actually just about Lily…and her sister.
The show will be begin with Lily leaving her privileged life to live with her free-spirit sister in the Valley.
How does this affect GG? It doesn’t really. The spin-off will get its start in a GG flashback at the end of this season but otherwise, the two will have very little in common. Creator Josh Schwartz promises: “We’re being very, very careful that nothing we do will feel like we are biting off from the Gossip Girl original.”
And what about Rufus? He may make an appearance…if the show lasts more than one season. “He’s not one of our characters. Maybe at some point” Schwartz says. LAME!
Read the whole article for a couple additional details–and some Chuck/Blair talk.

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and Dawson’s Creek

17 01 2009

Do any of you watch Skins? The Washington Post says it makes Gossip Girl and 90210 “look like ‘Little House on the Prairie.'”
What do the 90210 stars, new and old, think about football and the Superbowl? You can find out here.
Ouch! A new article calls 90210 “spineless” and Gossip Girl “shallow.” The article names Friday Night Lights the “teen drama MVP.” If that’s right, apparently I should be covering it…
Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) has managed to keep a low-profile since the series began. He opens up a teensy bit in this new article.
It’s not 90210 and sure ain’t General Hospital. Instead, Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210) is headed to Without a Trace.
The Boston Globe has a great article about Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek), her new movie Wendy and Lucy, and life after Heath. You can read it here.
