YouTube Video of the Week

22 02 2009

Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210) is one of the few teen drama stars–if not the only–to have had a prior significant teleivsion gig.

As Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell, Theissen worked her way into the hearts of adolsecents across the country.  It was hard to find a young girl who didn’t want to be her and a young boy that didn’t want to date her.

The following clip highlights some of Thiessen/Kelly’s best cheerleading moments.

Have another favorite Thiessen/Kelly moment?  Or like another teen drama star’s other work?  Post in the comments!

(It’s also worth mentioning that Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) appeared in several SBTB episodes as Violet, while she was on 90210.  You can watch a clip here!)

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

Please give me some information about 90210‘s Annie and Ethan. I really like them together, and I am sick of the show messing with all the couples! — Heather
MICKEY: What’s your damage, Heather? (Heh.) Let’s play “I’d rather.” I’d rather date Flip Wilson than Annie Wilson. Fun, right? The tempestuous Annie-Ethan potboiler will be taken off the fire in the near future, as the ladies band together to help a friend in crisis. The solution: A little religion never hurt anyone, right? Unless you’re West Bev’s crown princess of darkness, then it might sting a little.

Is Michael Copon (Felix, One Tree Hill) going to be on Gossip Girl?  He’s doing that thing with his Facebook status again! — Amy
MICKEY: Well, everything on Facebook is true, right? Mazel tov, Michael! Except, IRL, when I shook down my CW source, who is not dissimilar in appearance than that trusty prognosticating Eight Ball, signs pointed to: X-No, X-No.





Tori Spelling Quotes

17 02 2009

On filming the new 90210:

“I found Donna inside [me]. Donna’s still there!”

On her late father, Aaron, who helped create the original series:

“He always intended to make a 90210 for the new generation, so I think he’s probably going, ‘It’s about time!’





No new 90210 tonight!

90210 will be on repeats until the end of March.

Tonight and Wednesday night they’re re-airing That Which We Destroy.

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill

17 02 2009
  • The back cover art for the Beverly Hills, 90210 season 7 DVD box is out and it looks like, once again, there won’t be any special features.  That is NOT okay!
  • Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles did really poorly in the ratings after switching to Friday nights.  If the show is canceled–and it’s looking more and more likely–Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) would be free to appear on the new 90210.
  • An expert on peer abuse wrote a post on why Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord, 90210) is not a bully.
  • McCord is the HD Hottie of the Day on TVPredictions.com.
  • We’ll get our first peek at the Gossip Girl spin-off in May when Krysten Ritter (who will play Lily’s sister Carol) appears in a flashback.
  • TVGuide.com says Gossip Girl is “starting to stink.”  The article identifies some of the show’s problems and suggests solutions.  Curious to know your thoughts!
  • Surprisingly, things are going well for The CW as a whole.  Lets hope that means One Tree Hill (which has been doing better than Gossip Girl in the ratings!) will be renewed!  Unfortunately, not everyone is so positive about the network’s future.
  • Daytime soap (and one of my faves!) Guiding Light is bringing back the character of Michelle Bauer, who was at one point played by Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill).  Guess that means Galeotti could have another job if OTH doesn’t work out.

(This really isn’t a spoiler so I don’t think my usual warning label is necessary!)

Please ask the producers of 90210 to quit shilling Dr. Pepper and splashing their logo all over the place. — Bill S.
MICKEY: I know, right? That logo is everywhere. My West Bev mole tells me that the Dr. Pepper deal was an experiment gone slightly awry. Future product placement will aim for more subtlety. Besides, Diet Coke with Lime is a far superior carbonated beverage, several free cases of which I would never turn down.
