14 03 2009

PEOPLE has an “exclusive clip” from Monday’s all-new Gossip Girl.
The Futon Critic has a really great interview with Stephanie Savage (executive producer, Gossip Girl).
Chuck (Gossip Girl) and Lucas (One Tree Hill) made it to round two of Alpha Male Madness. Joshua Jackson’s (Dawson’s Creek) Fringe character is still in the competition as well.
Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210) and Luke Perry (Dylan, Beverly Hills 90210) are featured in a Los Angeles Times piece on comebacks.
Doherty is also included in a Fox News piece on stars who left hit shows, but the blurb has some facts wrong. See if you can spot the error!
Just because we’re in a different decade now doesn’t mean you can’t get fashion tips from the original 90210.
Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.) isn’t joining the Melrose Place remake but will be in another CW pilot instead. She talked to PEOPLE about the role she’ll play.
EW pits Barton against AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) for “top beast” honors.
Benjamin McKenzie’s (Ryan, The O.C.) new show, Southland, is included in E!Online’s midseason TV preview.
Barton and McKenzie’s new roles might have you asking: where are Rachel Bilson (Summer) and Adam Brody (Seth)?
The New York Times has an article on Josh Schwartz (The O.C., GG) taking his talents to the web.
