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

13 08 2009
  • Apparently if you were purchasing your 90210 season one DVD at Target, you were supposed to get a bonus DVD with an exclusive interview but there was a mix up and that didn’t happen.
  • Shenae Grimes (Annie, 90210) discussed her character with the Los Angeles Times.
  • According to E!Online’s gossip columnist, AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) but Kellan Lutz (George 90210) have broken up–which makes no sense, since they’ve both said they were never dating in the first place.
  • Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly  Hills 90210) spoke about Twilight’s Rob Pattinson at an event last week.
  • In an interview with AccessHollywood.com, Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) compares The Lake to 90210, and definitively states he won’t be appearing on the spin-off.
  • Degrassi’s Lauren Collins said the original 90210 “reigns supreme.”
  • Kristin and Ausiello have spoilish Gossip Girl info on the new season.
  • Sonic Youth will appear on Gossip Girl’s fifth episode of the new season.
  • I guess I have to start believing this Twitter account for Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl) is real, as Valebrity.com has it listed.
  • The CW Source has now posted the One Tree Hill video interview I linked to yesterday.  There’s also this one, which isn’t up yet either.
  • PEOPLE.com posted a new promo photo of The Beautiful Life, featuring Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.).
  • Not sure if you guys want this kind of stuff (I guess it depends on your definition of celebrity) but Heidi Montag tweeted that she was watching The O.C.
  • Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek) is on Twitter.




Happy Birthday Busy Phillips!

  • Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair (such a moutful!) signed a two-year contract to be the creative head behind 90210.  Guess they’re not only planning on a season two, but a third one as well!
  • Sinclair told Entertainment Weekly she’s open to having Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) come on the show but she doesn’t want it to look like a “stunt.”
  • Star Magazine is reporting that Brittany Snow (American Dreams) has been cast to play Lily in the Gossip Girl spin-off.  Star, however, is a tabloid that most often gets things wrongs.  So until I see confirmation elsewhere, there is no way I am going to believe it.  Coincidentally, Snow is who Michael Ausiello said should get the part.
  • According to their official site, No Doubt will appear on the May 11th episode of Gossip Girl.  This marks their second appearance on a teen drama, the first being Dawson’s Creek.
  • BuddyTV asks some really interesting questions about the next episode of One Tree Hill (which doesn’t air til mid-March).
  • One of the local news stations in North Carolina says One Tree Hill’s seventh season renewal is good for Wilmington’s economy.
  • Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek) will likely be cast in a new Courteney Cox show called Cougar Town.

Random Question

1 02 2009

So I’ve been doing YouTube “research” for various series I’ll be posting in the future and one of my searches led me nowhere.

I cannot find a (decent) video that is a tribute to Dawson’s Creek AND includes Audrey (Busy Philipps).

Busy was a regular in seasons 5 and 6, and, as she was critical to a number of storylines, very much became part of the “gang.”

And yet, in any video I watch (including the one posted this morning), it’s like she never existed!

While I realize she wasn’t part of the core 4 (or 5 if you count Jack or 6 if you count Andie) but a true representation of the show through the years would include all the regulars.

Do you disagree about Audrey’s significance?

And do you know of any good videos that include her?
