  • Ade says it’s not just that. And he should know.
  • She was scared to get back into acting (due to her past) and the music industry is even worse.

  • Ivy wants to learn.
  • He stands behind her, closely, guiding her hands.

  • Lila storms into the Blaze office.
  • She tells Navid that Ade quit the band and screwed them.
  • Navid says Ade got a good opportunity and the band can find another singer.

  • Q17: I guess I know where your loyalty lies.–Lila
  • She storms out.
  • Naomi is sitting at a long table with Harry and other people very dressed up.
  • Perhaps one is Cannon’s wife.
  • You would think Kelly would be here. ::shrug::
  • Harry says these are serious accusations and they want to hear everything.
  • He asks Harry to start.
  • She says she went to his classroom. They were alone. And. And. And…
  • Q18: Nothing happened. I lied.–Naomi
  • Yep, that’s Cannon’s wife. They cry and hug.

  • Harry is alone with Naomi, yelling at her.
  • He says he doesn’t know what to say to her but continues.

  • Ivy says he can thank her by breaking up with her.
  • He’s confused.
  • She says breaking up will make the process of getting the other couples to break up faster.
  • But neither one of them wants to be dumped.

  • But don’t say she’s clingy. LOL
  • Say she has a wandering eye. Ha.

  • Real responsible.
  • Ryan is convinced and takes a puff.

  • Gia asks why she didn’t tell her. And why she’s taking her ex’s advice.

  • Ivy says at least he knows now what kind of person she is.

  • I kind of like Laurel. But then I don’t. But then I do.
  • Dixon spies Ivy and plays some Bob Marley for her. (A reference to their earlier deejaying session.)

  • Naomi goes into her kitchen. There’s Liam.
  • She apologizes.

  • The implication being she can talk to him.

  • Q33: “Then he’s an idiot. ‘Cause you’re amazing, Ivy.” “You don’t have to say that.” “I know I don’t.” “The good thing is we can move on. Because I am totally over that guy.” “I’m happy to hear that. Because I like you, Ivy. Any chance you’ll let your fake ex-boyfriend take you out on a real date?” “Yes. Why not?” “Cool.” “Cool.”–Dixon and Ivy
  • Navid walks into a cafe. (Not The Peach Pit. Again). He’s still all dressed up.

  • He says it proves his earlier point that she’s changed.
  • She asks if he can stay…
  • Q36: Or are you on your way to see the president or something?–Ade
  • He says he can stay.
  • He asks to see what she’s writing.
  • She will share but with no judgments.
  • Laurel walks outside. Ryan is still there.
  • He couldn’t find his car. LOL
  • She’s amused.
  • She apologizes for not warning him about Dixon and Ade being at the party.
  • Q37: I’m note exactly a consequences-oriented woman. Never have been. And if you don’t want to hang out with me because of that, I get it.–Laurel
  • He says he’s “a big boy” and doesn’t “need a babysitter.”
  • He takes a joint from her and they smoke up.
  • Liam goes into his garage. Standing there is Scott Patterson. I mean, his dad.
  • Liam asks him when he got out.
  • His dad says not that long ago. As soon as he heard Liam was in California, he took the first bus out there.
  • Q38: I missed you, kid.–Finn (His dad)
  • They hung. It’s kind of tear-worthy.
  • Annie walks into her room. On her wall is a big photocopy of the picture of the guy she killed. The picture was at the memorial they showed in the Previously On (where Harry said he didn’t know the guy; clearly I missed what was significant about them showing that clip).
  • She rips it down. There’s another. She rips it down. There’s another.
  • Then she looks around and they are everything.
  • Pretty sure she is hallucinating.
  • Or dreaming. She just woke up. Walls are normal.

  • She turns around and walks out.
  • Annie sees and follows her outside.
  • Q39: “I’m a terrible person.” “You’re not.” “I am. I don’t even know how this all happened. I said one thing and it spiraled completely out of control.” “Before you could say anything and control it, everything just took on a life of its own and became this nightmare you couldn’t wake up from. Trust me, I get it.”–Naomi and Annie
  • Naomi is confused but sad and rests her head on Annie’s shoulder.
  • Strange way to end the episode.
  • Preview: A bad lie (Naomi, hugging Liam, tells him she loves him and he says he does, too), a good try (Liam and Annie all wet, she tells him he should be with Naomi), a big fight (Silver and Teddy arguing), a scary sight (Naomi is shocked to see Jen back, Jen says to call her karma). In two weeks, 4/27.




Spoiler: Watch With Kristin

13 04 2010

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

“Stop calling Jenny Humphrey a homewrecker!”

It’s the recent cry of many of you Little J-loving Gossip Girl fans, who feel we’ve been treating the Upper East Side’s new queen unfairly in recent weeks, calling her the H-word and hinting that she may trying to steal Nate (Chace Crawford) away from Serena (Blake Lively).

Sorry! When I interviewed Gossip Girl bosses Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, Josh joked of the H-word: “We think the word speaks for itself, Kristin.” And so, I promise to stop using it…Um, after this one last time, because now, I’m hearing there is very good cause, and it has to do with those rumors that a certain Gossip Girl star is leaving the show.

Marissa in Boise, Idaho: You’ve gotta stop it with the “Jenny is a homewrecker” stuff.
So sorry, but as I hinted above, Jenny is indeed about to meddle, and I’m not referring to Nate and Serena. I’m actually talking about her dad, Rufus, and stepmom, Lily. I’m hearing that Little J is going to try to do some bad things to their relationship, and then…yes, she’s going away. But the good news for you Jenny fans (finally!) is that contrary to some rumors you may have heard, she is not dying. I’m told Taylor Momsen will be back in season four. At least, that’s the plan.

Shannon G.: We last saw Jasper in the hospital before being admitted into psychiatric treatment. Is this the last we will see of him on 90210, or is there a chance he could pop back into the picture at some time?
Poor Annie’s not in the clear just yet! Jasper will most definitely be back and causing more woes along the way. In fact, he’s a huge part of that out-of-this-world finale we’ve been telling you so much about. Well, he and his dead “uncle.”

Kassie in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.: What else is ahead on 90210?
Some seriously big things are coming up in Beverly Hills…I’m hearing the finale shocker has to do with Naomi’s big sexual harassment lie, and in the meantime, her evil sis Jen returns.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210 and More

12 04 2010

Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210) turns 39 today.

Though her participation on Dancing With The Stars was short-lived, I loved this performance and think we should celebrate her birthday by watching it again.

  • You can watch the trailer for Call Me Fitz (previously called Meet Phil Fitz), the upcoming Canadian series starring Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210). Warning: this is NSFW and very far removed from Brandon Walsh! (I think the latter is part of the point.)

Weekly Poll

7 04 2010

As you may have noticed, there wasn’t a Weekly Poll last week. Since I had to do reaction posts, which weren’t completed til later in the week, I didn’t have poll questions based on that week’s episodes to use in time.

In the last Weekly Poll, fifty-two percent of voters said they would not be satisfied by a One Tree Hill series finale that didn’t include Lucas and Peyton. Still, 33 percent said they would be while 15 percent said they were torn. A bigger majority, 64 percent, think Jenny on Gossip Girl is totally annoying lately. Just 20 percent find her tolerable and only 16 percent say she’s totally awesome. Forty-six percent think 90210’s Annie should just confess but 5 percent think it will ruin her life even more. Twenty-six percent aren’t sure and are scared for her either while way 23 percent aren’t sure and don’t care either way.





News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and More

7 04 2010
  • Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
  • Last night’s 90210 (1.3 million viewers) had another drop in the ratings compared to last week, hitting a new season- and series-low. Note, though, that coverage was only in 92 percent of the marketplace, not the usual 95. (I know the Chicagoland area, for instance, had the show preempted for sports.)
  • E! Online has 90210 spoilers.
  • The Stir has an interview with Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210).
  • I love working for Gossip Cop. I love it even more when it involves taking down Perez Hilton for a Beverly Hills 90210-related post.
  • Gossip Cop also busted another false Life & Style story today (though I wasn’t involved in this one; I did write the above PH one) about the marriage between Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) and Dean McDermott.
  • Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and girlfriend Megan Fox made a Funny or Die video in support of public education.
  • Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210) participated in a Paley Center panel last night in support of her show, White Collar.
  • SoapNet now has a Beverly Hills 90210 I.Q. quiz to go along with the ones for The O.C. and One Tree Hill. I got a 100 percent and was told “AWESOME! Is your last name Walsh? You’re a Beverly Hills, 90210 expert, a fact sure to open doors and earn you friends wherever you go.” It was much easier than the other quizzes, IMO, but unfortunately, there were two inaccurate questions (though you can still figure out the answers) and one answer listed incorrectly on the results page.

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

How will this season of 90210 end? It seems like all they do now is get together and break up, over and over again. — Patsy
MICKEY: Hi, Patsy, let me introduce you to my friend: Television, meet Patsy. Patsy, Television. But you have a point, one that will be made even more sharply by the end of the season, when Adrianna and Navid and Silver and Teddy all reunite. There might also be a thawing on the Jen-Ryan front, once they realize they’re going to be in each other’s lives for at least 18 years.

Spoiler: The Big Tease

6 04 2010

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

Can you tell me anything about ‘One Tree Hill’s Nathan and Haley? I heard rumors of a pregnancy! – megundo via Twitter
Ah, the perpetual Naley Baby talk. Well, this much I can tease: Haley is a huge part of the last four episodes of this season (which resumes April 19), and Bethany Joy Galeotti “did a wonderful job with the material,” says a pal at the show.

I am really enjoying ‘90210.’ Thoughts? – blas0612 via Twitter
There are still some Snoozeville stories, but I’ve latched onto a few, including Naomi’s fraudulent sexual harassment charge against the new teach, which you just know will escalate into ridiculous levels of ohnoshedidn’t! “That story gets pretty crazy,” says Jessica Lowndes (aka Adriana). “You will see how huge her little lie gets in the next few episodes.”
