  • More Gossip Girl spin-off photos have been released.
  • The New York Post says Chace Crawford (Chace, Gossip Girl) is looking to move out of the apartment he shares with Ed Westwick (Chuck, Gossip Girl).  The article doesn’t name the source, though.
  • Amanda Setton (Penelope, Gossip Girl) says she’s happy to see Westwick and Jessica Szohr’s (Vanessa) blossoming relationship.
  • Michael Copon (Felix, One Tree Hill) posted on his Twitter account that he ran into Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill) at an audition.
  • Here’s someone you don’t see often: the paps took a photo of Gabrielle Cateris (Andrea, Beverly Hills 90210) out and about.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and 90210

29 04 2009
  • Apparently the latest issue of TV Guide Magazine has photos of Leyton’s wedding on One Tree Hill.
  • Quentin on One Tree Hill made TVGuide.com’s list of characters they’ll miss the most.
  • Kristen Bell (Gossip Girl, Gossip Girl) says she’d love to appear on-screen.  Currently she just voices the titular character.
  • Gossip Girl and 90210 stars made PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful list, according to Zap2it.  But I think Korbi is wrong by saying the girls came in at number 3, etc.  I think it’s just their placement in the on-line photo gallery.
  • Dustin Milligan (Ethan, 90210) says he’d like to wrap up his character’s storyline next season.  Pretty sure Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair said that won’t happen.
  • The CW Source has video interviews with Milligan and Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210).
  • Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) reportedly declared that “Zac Efron is the new Jason Priestley.”

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 4

25 04 2009

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Two kinds of love today: young love and baby love!

4. Katie Holmes (Joey, Dawson’s Creek) and Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek)

TSDDACR EC055

Here’s what makes this one interesting: they got together and broke up before their characters ever did on the show! AWKWARD!   But Holmes reportedly told Rolling Stone, “I fell in love, I had my first love and it was something so incredible and indescribable that I will treasure it always. I feel so fortunate because he’s now one of my best friends.”

3. Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210)

Private House

BAG’s second appearance on this list has a special distinction: he and Marcil are the only real-life teen drama couple to have a child.  They met on the set of 90210 in 1999.  Kassius was born in 2002 but the relationship ended a year later.  They seem to remain on good terms, though, with Marcil calling him “amazing” in a recent interview.  Their characters also had a short-lived relationship on the show.

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 2

23 04 2009

Part 1

The countdown continues with, coincidentally, two relationships from the same show.

8. Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) and Christine Elise (Emily, Beverly Hills 90210)

Priestley and Elise dated and live together for several years during the 90s.  Elise’s three appearances on the show (season 2, season 4, and season 5) all occurred during the course of their relationship.  Ironically, on the show, their characters’ initial relationship ended when Emily went a little pyscho.  It later didn’t work out because of timing, and because of Brandon’s relationship with Kelly.

7. Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210)

This couple actually began seeing each other before Tiffani joined the show in the fall of 1993.  In addition to 90210, they also appeared together once in an episode of Saved by the Bell: The College Years and the television movie “She Fought Alone.”





Top 10 Real-Life Relationships

22 04 2009

Over the next few days, I’ll be showcasing the real-life relationships, past and present, of our favorite teen drama actors.

We’ll start with the relatively small couples and increase each day in seriousness and impact.

10. Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl) and Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl)

The couple began dating not long after Gossip Girl began and are still together.

9. Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) and Vincent Young (Noah, Beverly Hills 90210)

I actually had no idea these two had a relationship until I read it in Spelling’s book, sTORI Telling.  In it she writes that they dated for three years and said “Vince was a classic bad boy.”  Their relationship was far from perfect and when Young proposed to her (after the series ended), Spelling said no because she “had to find a diferent type of guy.”  Their 90210 characters dated on-and-off during seasons 8 through 10.

YouTube Video of the Week

19 04 2009

With all the talk this past week about Donna and David and how it would be TRAGIC to split them up, I realized newer fans might not know why some of us feel this way.

If you haven’t had a chance to get caught up by the DVDs or SoapNet, check out the fan-made video below to see what all the fuss is about!
