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

5 10 2009
  • This by far the BEST One Tree Hill article I have seen in quite a while.  It’s about time someone addressed the obvious: the show outperforms many others on The CW but rarely gets any love.  Here’s hoping this changes that from now on!
  • And this is a step in the right direction!  The Futon Critic has an interview with Mark Schwahn.  He said some interesting things about Leyton, Dan and (unfortunately) Alex.
  • Starpulse has an interview with Robert Buckley (Clay, One Tree Hill).
  • India de Beaufort (Miranda, One Tree Hill) confirmed that her Twitter account is real.  For more accounts, see my Twitter Directory.
  • Grant Show (Jake, Beverly Hills 90210) is also now on Twitter.
  • Matt Lanter (Liam, 90210) and Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) spoke with E!Online about Samantha Ronson’s upcoming cameo.
  • Korbi has a video interview with Steger and another video interview with Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210).
  • Rumors of Jessica Lowdnes (Adrianna, 90210) and Kellan Lutz (George, 90210) dating are false.
  • BuzzGloss has an interview with Lori Loughlin (Debbie, 90210) but 90210 isn’t mentioned.
  • ChicagoNow has an interview with Penn Badgley (Dan, Gossip Girl).
  • I had no idea Tom Kapinos (executive producer, Dawson’s Creek) created Californication!  You learn something new every day…

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

Are Navid and Adrianna really going to break up on 90210? I love them together! — Katelyn
MICKEY: Well, that’s hard to say. I wonder if it has to do with Teddy? I hope it doesn’t send Ade back to substance abuse.

I can’t wait to see Hilary Duff on Gossip Girl. Who will she have scenes with? — Andrea S.
MICKEY: Who won’t she have scenes with? I had heard that movie star Olivia Burke (Duff) would be rooming with Vanessa, but I had no idea she’d be romancing Dan and working with Serena. (Yes, you heard me right: working.) But forget all that, if you’re looking for an excuse to laugh louder than you ever have in your life honest human emotion, wait until you see Duff and fellow guest star Tyra Banks’ virtuoso performances in Fleur, the film-within-the-show about, of course, the French resistance during World War II. Talk about Les Miserables!

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

What will happen with Nathan and Haley in Season 7? — Saderia
Will Rob Buckley ever be shirtless on One Tree Hill?Sarah
ADAM: Although it’s all kisses and rainbows for Naley when the season premiere starts, at the end of the hour something (or maybe someone) puts their happiness into serious jeopardy. And Sarah, shirtlessness abounds in the first episode: At least four sets of pecs and abs will be on display.

Please tell me that Navid and Adrianna stay together on 90210. They’re the cutest couple. — Quinn
MICKEY: For now, they’re still together, but this guy showing up doesn’t help matters. Anyway, Navid will have his hands full working on a blockbuster story for the West Beverly Blaze when a student overdoses, and Annie’s new boyfriend is implicated. It allows 90210 to have a “teaching moment,” just like its preachy predecessor did. Stay in school, kids!

Mickey’s Mega Rave: The “new” 90210 isn’t perfect, but I’m really digging the sullen, nerve-wracked Annie (Shenae Grimes), who may or may not be a murderer. Her downward spiral, which began Tuesday with a drunken cabana tryst with an upperclassman, continues next week when she finds herself at the center of a “sext” scandal. Poor Annie — love it!





Get Ready for 90210 Season 2!

7 09 2009

We’re a day away from 90210’s season 2 premiere!

Here’s what you need to know about last season:

Annie and Dixon move to Beverly Hills, where father Harry is the principal of West Beverly High and mother Debbie is a photographer.

Popular girl Naomi loses longtime boyfriend Ethan when he decides to be with Annie instead.  When the relationship fails, Ethan falls for Silver.

Silver spends most of the season dating Dixon, though the relationship hits a rough spot when Silver struggles with bi-polar disorder.

Adrianna, Naomi’s best friend, recovers from a drug addiction only to find out she’s pregnant.  Boyfriend Navid, who isn’t the father, decides to stick by her side, though Adrianna ultimately gives the baby up for adoption.

Naomi’s attempt to win over the brooding Liam starts to work, until she finds out he slept with someone else.  Naomi assumes it’s Annie but it was actually her own sister, Jen.

Silver’s older sister and West Bev guidance counselor Kelly had a relationship with teacher Ryan, who started seeing Jen in the season finale.

Annie, disgusted by how everyone treats her, drives drunk and hits something…or someone!

Come back at noon tomorrow for an exclusive interview about the new season and then you’ll be all set for my live-blog of the premiere at 8pm eastern!
