- Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
- Last night’s One Tree Hill (2.2 million viewers) rose a bit in the ratings compared to last week. The CW sent out a press release touting the ratings increase–but remember, last week was a season- and (I think) series-low and 2.2 is about the season average so this isn’t much to brag about. The network also says this is the highest rating since Dec. 7, but three out of the last five episodes (not including this one) had a 2.2 (rounded) rating so I don’t get that part, and considering the Dec. 7 rating was 2.6, this, again, isn’t brag-worthy.
- Mike Grubbs (Grubbs, One Tree Hill) has a funny vlog that sorta kinda features James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill).
- The new One Tree Hill Connection podcast has an interview with Amanda Schull (Sara/Katie, One Tree Hill).
- Korbi is asking which Tuesday show you miss the most and 90210 is one of the options.
- Zuzanna Szadkowski (Dorota, Gossip Girl) spoke at Barnard, her alma mater, last weekend.
- The Celebrity Cafe has an interview with James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek).
- IFC.com has an interesting article on Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) and her career.

23 02 2010RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Cassandra in Prescott, Ariz.: What’s going to be happening when 90210 finally returns?
Get ready for some major stalking from 90210‘s creepy drug dealer, Jasper. He’ll continue blackmailing Annie over the hit-and-run death of his uncle, but when she finally stands up to him, his lurkiness increases tenfold. And the will-they-won’t-they love story between Silver and Teddy quickly becomes a will, then a won’t-again, then back to a will…for now at least.
Michelle in Austin: Anything else on 90210?
Even though Liam and Naomi are back together, things will not be easy. In fact, they are downright uncomfortable—no conversation, awkward pauses. The only thing good between the two is the sex…and we’ll see lots of it.
Simone in Hemet, Calif.: Any scoop on Southland? I need a Ben McKenzie-Michael Cudlitz fix!
New episodes of Southland finally premiere next Tuesday, and the documentary-style drama is better than ever. In addition serving up the usual crime and grime of LAPD life, the new Southland eps are a treat for O.C. fans. Look for a second Ryan-Oliver reunion when Ben Sherman’s (Ben McKenzie) sister tries to set him up with a cute girl (Grey’s Anatomy‘s Nora Zehetner), and she arrives in the company of some bonehead 90210 types including Wade (Taylor Handley). And Amaury Nolasco (Prison Break) is fabulous as Regina King‘s temporary new partner. Start praying now that the ratings for Southland’s new season are awesome and that TNT sees fit to order another stack of episodes. This show is too good to lose.

Notes:
The Southland question mentioned Michael Cudlitz (Tony, Beverly Hills 90210) but, oddly, he wasn’t mentioned in the answer.
Also not sure what “bonehead 90210 types” is supposed to mean.
Handley also played Patrick on Dawson’s Creek.

19 02 2010- I have confirmed that Antwon Tanner (Skills, One Tree Hill) will appear in at least one episode of OTH later this season, despite being sentenced last month to three months in prison. As I reported then, Tanner hadn’t been fired from the show and he has until the end of April to begin serving his sentence, so this news makes perfect sense. I will have a spoiler on Tanner’s appearance on Sunday.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, The O.C. and Dawson’s Creek
18 02 2010- Korbi is asking readers if One Tree Hill should return for an 8th season.
- Hollywood Life (::cringe::) has an article in support of an 8th season (which really stems from an unfair poll they ran last week).
- The TV Addict also has piece supporting One Tree Hill (and Life Unexpected).
- Us Weekly (::shudder::) has a short interview with Shantel VanSanten (Quinn, One Tree Hill).
- AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) is on the cover of Shape Magazine, which Crushable.com thinks was photo-shopped.
- John Schneider (Liam’s step-dad, 90210) will star in a pilot for Spike called Back Nine.
- Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210) spoke to PEOPLE.com about her fashion style and her admiration of Lady Gaga.
- ShelterPop has an article on the Beverly Hills 90210 beach apartment being for sale. In addition to saying that it is indeed separate apartments (the listing I posted earlier this month said it was one house), there’s a picture of the inside–and it looks nothing like what we saw on the show. The intro also describes it as “Donna and David’s beachfront pad”–an odd choice considering David lived there for just one season while Donna and Kelly lived there, albeit off-and-on, for six.
- The Wall Street Journal has an interview with Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan, The O.C.) about Southland.
- Shutter Island, starring Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) will be released in theaters tomorrow.

Weekly Poll
17 02 2010In the last Weekly Poll, 52 percent of voters said they missed Deb on One Tree Hill, with 29 percent saying they only missed her sometimes and 19 percent believing the character had run its course. Forty-nine percent said the new Gossip Girl promo made them excited for the new episodes but 25 percent each said they were disappointed by it or mixed. The biggest win came in the third poll, with 56 percent wanting Adrianna and Navid to get back together on 90210. Twenty-seven percent were indifferent while 10 percent are against it and 6 percent don’t think it matters.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, Gossip Girl and More
17 02 2010- The CW has ordered another pilot, in addition to the five shows previously announced.
- Monday’s One Tree Hill (1.9 million rounded up) dropped a decent amount in the ratings compared to last week. This is a season- and (I believe) series-low.
- Variety says One Tree Hill has a “better-than-50/50 shot at returning.”
- InStyle has a short article on Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) at New York Fashion Week.
- Due to scheduling issues, Jana Kramer (Alex, One Tree Hill) and Robert Buckley (Clay, One Tree Hill) will no longer be participating in the Wilmington police fundraiser this weekend. Instead, James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill) and Mitch Ryan (Alexander, One Tree Hill) will and possibly others.
- Blood Done Sign My Name, a movie Lee Norris (Mouth, One Tree Hill) first told me about in August, starring him, Cullen Moss (Junk, One Tree Hill), Michael May (Chuck, One Tree Hill) and Susan Walters (Principal Rimkus), opens in theaters Friday. Star News has a review of the film.
- The CW sent out a YouTube interview with 90210’s costume designer, Frank Helmer.
- The contenders for the TV’s Top Couples tournament have officially been announced. They include: David/Donna (Beverly Hills 90210), Dylan/Brenda (Beverly Hills 90210), Chuck/Blair (Gossip Girl),Nate/Blair (Gossip Girl) and Ryan/Marissa (The O.C.).
- Alexandra Patsavas (music supervisor, Gossip Girl & The O.C.) is among BuddyTV’s picks to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol.
- I’ve never listened to This American Life before but I stumbled across an edition that had a segment about The O.C. that I really enjoyed. It starts around the 30-minute mark.
- Autumn Reeser (Taylor, The O.C.), who appeared on tonight’s episode of Human Target, has been cast in No Ordinary Family, which is being executive produced by Greg Berlanti (writer-producer, Dawson’s Creek).
- LOLing at this Blair Waldorf comparison to Suri Cruise, especially since Suri is the daughter of Katie Holmes (Joey, Dawson’s Creek).
- Holmes is included in an E! Online photogallery of stars at 18 years old.

17 02 2010RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Since Jennie Garth has said she’s not on “90210” anymore, does that mean we won’t see Kelly ever again? -Jessie
No, actually, I know for sure that Jennie will appear in at least one more episode scheduled for early next month. Rob Estes, who is also exiting the show, will be around for the remainder of the season though.
Will Naomi’s evil sister be back on “90210” or are we finally rid of her now that she’s been exposed? -PK
Oh no. We have not seen the last of Jen (Sara Foster). She’ll most certainly be back and hiding something new. Something big.
Give me some good Liam gossip! -Kate
His biological dad is going to swing into town and set some drama in motion.
Any “90210” scoop? -Perry
New couple alert. Two West Bev students — both of whom were way into other characters last we saw them — will start seeing each other when the show returns.

Notes:
This supports what I’ve said about Jennie all along.
We already knew about Liam and his biological dad, because we knew in December that Scott Patterson was cast in the role.
I think the “two West Bev students” are Ivy and Dixon.

16 02 2010- Articles on The CW’s renewals and the remaining shows: E! Online, EW.com, NYTimes.com, Star News, TVByTheNumbers.com (and a second one).
- Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
- Several teen drama stars are featured in an MTV.com blog post on New York Fashion Week. Examiner.com’s article focuses on Shantel VanSanten (Quinn, One Tree Hill) but shows a picture of her at NYFW with other teen drama stars.
- The final ratings for last night’s One Tree Hill haven’t been released yet due to the holiday yesterday. I rather wait for those than post numbers that are almost guaranteed to change.
- A local Wilmington news station has a piece on the effect on the town (city?) if One Tree Hill ends this season.
- Cinema Blend has an interview with Bryan Greenberg (Jake, One Tree Hill).
- There will be a Gossip Girl-inspired clothing line launched in the UK in April. A U.S.-based GG clothing line launched in September.
- Matthew Settle (Rufus, Gossip Girl) has reportedly separated from his wife.
- Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) is in the newest 90210 trailer. Like I’ve said, I believe she’s in at least one more episode.
- Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) has written a children’s book, which will be released in September. Her third memoir, uncharted terriTORI, will be published in June.
- Turns out Daniel Cosgrove (Matt, Beverly Hills 90210) won’t be appearing on Brothers & Sisters after all.
- McG (executive producer, The O.C.) is working on a screen adaptation of Spring Awakening. I think I knew about this via rumors but this may be the first time I’m seeing it confirmed with him talking about it. If you recall, SA (which I love and saw twice, BTW) was sort of adapted for use on 90210 last season.
