Spoiler: You Ask, I Answer 90210 Edition

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

If you have any idea what happens on “90210,” please report it on your fabulous blog asap. I’m dying here without scoop on crazy Annie & co. -Lee Oh, crazy Annie is in for a tough time. Dark days are on their way for Miss Wilson… which I’m assuming is a turn the writers decided to take in response to everyone’s annoyance over her bubbly enthusiasm last season. Anyhoo, not only does the entire school think Annie sucks, but her own brother will be avoiding her come fall. And just when you think things can’t get any worse for the chick, Naomi will unleash the scandal of the season on her. Let’s just say Silver and Dixon’s sex video will be old news in no time.

“90210” spoilers! Now! Are Dixon and Silver done or what? -Caroline Done and done. I mean, I think they might still be together when the season first starts, but it won’t last long. Dixon’s going to start dating an older woman, a D.J. in her 20s who’s obsessed with sports. Oh, and p.s., Dixon is going to give surfing the old Brandon Walsh college try… except D will take to it quite naturally.

I have to know what’s up with Naomi and Liam next season. Does she know that Jen is the one who seduced him? -D She knows nothing of the sort. Not yet, anyway. Jen will continue to manipulate the situation, even paying Liam’s mom a visit, telling her that Liam caused Naomi undue stress and that she’d prefer that he keeps his distance.

Is Ryan Matthews staying on “90210” or is he joining the new “Melrose Place”? -Derrick Yeah, those “Melrose” rumors keep swirling, but as of now, he’s staying in BH and will continue to fall deeper in love with that Devil-woman, Jen. You’d think a guy like Ryan would be able to see past her b.s., but I guess not.

Hey Korbi, Can you tell me if Adrianna and Navid will stay together even though they’re not getting married anymore? -Mandy
Yep. They’re still together. For the forseeable future, anyway. Seems Navid’s super jealous of the new, tennis prodigy guy, Teddy…

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Will there be any new ladies on 90210 this season? — Jamie
MICKEY: There will, Jamie! I have it on good authority that while Teddy is off reducing Silver and Annie’s self-esteem, Dixon will be enjoying the company of a new girl in town. There’s not much I can say about her just yet, except that she’s older, gorgeous and very gooooooal!-oriented.

Is it true that Michelle Trachtenberg has been promoted to series regular on Gossip Girl? — William
MICKEY: No, it’s not true, but I can understand why you might think that, since the Season 2 finale indicated that Georgina would be enrolling at NYU with the gang. Not only will Trachtenberg’s fall run on Gossip Girl be brief, but the actress’ other show, the NBC nursing drama Mercy, has just been moved up from midseason to allow for Maura Tierney’s breast tumor surgery. So with Mercy rushed into production, Trachtenberg will be otherwise occupied.





Happy Birthday Tristan Wilds!

15 07 2009

This is a special day!

Wilds (Dixon, 90210) turns 20 today–and I turn 22!

Let’s celebrate with this Wilds tribute video.

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

Dennis in Brooklyn, N.Y.: Now that Mercy begins shooting way earlier to fill in the gap left by Parenthood‘s move to midseason, what does this mean for Michelle Trachtenberg and her stint on Gossip Girl?
Our sources tell us that Michelle Trachtenberg won’t miss a beat of Gossip Girl. She’s doing everything she was expected to do as of last spring, and Georgina’s episodes are good! However, Kelly Rutherford will be missing three episodes for her maternity leave. Still, despite Lily’s absence, expect her love child Scott (Chris Riggi) to stay front and center this season. Are you excited for the biggest Humphrey-van der Woodsen crossover of them all, or are you withholding judgment on Scott until you get to know him better?

Paula in Columbia, S.C.: Any news on 90210?
Ooh, Silver is not going to like this one bit: Next season on 90210, Dixon flirts with another woman. Her name is Sasha, and she’s a professional DJ who is said to have a Rihanna vibe. In other 90210 news, Annie stays psycho for the time being. As Monty Burns from The Simpsons would say, “Excellent.”

Duffy in San Jose, Calif.: I heard one of my heroes is guest starring in the first episode of the new season of One Tree Hill. Do you have details?
Yes we do, Duffy! Former NFL superstar Jerry Rice guest stars on the first episode of One Tree Hill this fall. He makes an appearance at Nathan’s son’s birthday party. Sophia Bush tells us it was mayhem when Jerry came on set: “It was really funny to see every guy lose his mind. When he walked on set, camera equipment was getting dropped and people rushed in. The grips, who don’t care about anything were like, ‘Oh my God, Jerry Rice!’ People went nuts. And I was like, ‘This is man world. We’ve entered a man cave.’ ”

Jenna from Kent, Ohio: Do you know who is coming back for the seventh season of One Tree Hill?
As we all know, One Tree Hill has a revolving door of characters. The other day when we spoke with Ashley Rickards, she said it’s not a question of if her character Samantha Walker is returning, but when: “I think Sam has a really strong bond with Brooke, and I don’t see that just vanishing overnight.”

Gaby in Dodge City, Kan.: What can you tell us about the new season of Entourage?
Autumn Reeser is back on our TVs! Happy dance! (She and fellow O.C.er Rachel Bilson have now officially been gone too long.) Autumn plays an upcoming junior agent at Miller-Gold who is hooking up with Gary Cole‘s greasy character, Andrew Klein. Also, we would like to formally request that Autumn become a regular in season seven and/or get a successful show of her own so we can hang out with her more.





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.”

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

Simon in Agoura Hills, Calif.: Any scoop on Southland?
(Not relevant until…) Southland definitely has more authentic L.A. than 90210, a lack of veracity that the new 90210 boss is now righteously trying to rectify. More on that coming in 90210 vids tomorrow.

Frannie in Orlando, Fla.: Does Dan ever get another heart on One Tree Hill?
Dan’s heart storyline is not resolved by the end of the season, so it looks like the bastard lives to fight another season! Can Dan even really be killed? He seems like one of those supersoldiers you can just shoot holes through and they keep getting up.

Catherine: What happened to the Blair/Jack Bass secret on Gossip Girl?
Blair did hook up with Jack Bass on New Year’s Eve, but when that info comes out, it barely makes a dent in the storyline. (Who else was hoping for a least a jealous freak-out from Chuck?)

Tina in British Columbia: Sooo excited about Gwen Stefani appearing on Gossip Girl!can you tell us anything more?
According to MTV.com, No Doubt will be appearing in the Lily episode as a band named—wait for it—Snowed Out. (Heee.) They’ll be doing a cover of Adam & the Ants‘ “Stand and Deliver.”

Gio: Your help is sought in finding missing person Jenny Humphrey, cute Brooklyn blonde. Not seen on Gossip Girl for weeks now. Will she be getting a storyline any time soon?
Negatory. Little J is overlooked once again. In the coming weeks every other storyline on the show takes precedence, except when J finally pops up in the finale—she has a key role to play in the coronation of the new queen mean girl. In the meantime, however, we always have your Taylor Momsen needs covered in Fashion Police.

Peggy in Santa Barbara, Calif.: Are any of the cast of 90210 heading for Melrose Place?
No one has been officially confirmed, but Rob Estes tells us, “My money’s on Ryan—he’d be a perfect crossover.” Who do you think should make the leap over to 90210‘s sister show?

Melanie in Del Mar, Calif.: What’s the deal with Dixon’s biomom coming on 90210?
Dixon’s (Tristan Wilds) biological mom does come back in the picture, which causes quiet the emotional meltdown with the family. And though the promos tease a big reunion, don’t expect it to be as special as they’re selling. Rob Estes tells us, “We may see [Dixons mom], but do we meet her? She shows up and then disappears for a while. They actually go after her…They go looking for her.”

Mitch in San Diego: I knew Dustin Milligan was leaving 90210, but now Silver? What’s going on?
Silver is leaving West Bev High, but Jessica Stroup is not leaving the show. That is, if her character doesn’t die in the season finale.

Dyan in Queens, N.Y.: More Matt Lanter on 90210 please!
Liam’s causing some drama and really turning into the Dylan McKay we’ve been waiting for. Matt Lanter says, “Liam takes out Ethan to a camping trip. Ethan’s trying to find himself and Liam encourages that from people, trying to find what’s deep inside. He gets Ethan into some trouble. Liam’s presence is being felt in a pretty major way.” That’s not the only 90210er he’s messing with. His new romance with Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) is headed for a rough patch. “By the end of the season, there’s going to be some major drama with [Naomi] and her sister and possibly Annie. There’s some problem with her sister. She comes in and she definitely makes things tough in 90210. People are definitely going to be angry and betrayed,” adds Matt.

****

Compelled to respond to some things in this edition.

1. Jenny HAS been seen on recent GG episodes, just not in the leading story capacity we saw earlier this season.

2. Pretty sure it IS confirmed that Ryan Eggold will be on Melrose Place.

3. Dylan wasn’t a trouble-maker, so I don’t see how Liam causing drama makes them comparable.





News Roundup: Gossip Girl, 90210 and The O.C.

6 04 2009
  • Korbi has a lot of scoop on Chuck and Blair, stemming from an interview she did with Gossip Girl’s executive producer, Stephanie Savage.

  • Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl) will star in Twelve, which in part, has to do with life on the Upper East Side.
  • Two Entertainment Weekly writers put their own spin on one of the Dixon-Silver scenes from last week’s 90210. Pretty funny.
  • BuddyTV has an interview with Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210) on her character’s breakdown and some other interesting things planned.
  • The Charlotte Observer has a great article on Bejamin McKenzie’s (Ryan, The O.C.) career. There’s also on an article in the California Chronicle on how McKenzie managed to go from The O.C. to Southland.
  • The shows aired in SoapNet’s O.C. Favorite Four Marathon were: The Best Chrismukkah Ever (season 1), The Rainy Day Women (season 2), The Graduates (season 3) and The End’s Not Near, It’s Here (season 4).

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

So I watched “90210” last night, I thought it was alright. When will Dustin Milligan’s last episode be? -Erin
Dustin will at least stick around till the show breaks for summer. When I spoke with him on set a couple weeks ago, he was filming the second to last hour of the season (prom night, he was all monkey-suited up). He told me that next Tuesday’s episode — which Jason Priestley directed — picks up right where last night left off with Ethan and Annie breaking up on that make out cliff or whatever you want to call it. Apparently it’s going to be a crazy dramatic hour that takes place after dark as Silver continues to melt down and everyone goes in search of her. Oh, and p.s., Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillespie) is back.

Hey Korbi, is it true that Ethan starts to fall for Silver by the season finale? -Anonymous

That’s what I’m hearing. I guess he’s going to develop quite a thing for her before he goes and his feelings are not lost on Dixon.

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

I don’t understand why Dustin Milligan would want to leave “90210” now. Does he have another show lined up? -Alice
I don’t think leaving the show was really Dustin’s decision. Word is, he was not thrilled to get his walking papers from new exec producer Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair.

Are Annie and Ethan done now? -Steph
Not yet. They start tonight’s episode as a couple… that’s not really talking. But by the end of the hour, Annie will be laying on the hood of a car up at make out point with some other dude.

So this kid Liam is supposed to be the new Dylan McKay? I don’t see it. Dylan is Dylan. The guy would have to be pretty special to be compared to the great McKay -Christa
Shenae Grimes (Annie), who is the only regular cast member that knows the original “90210” well, was skeptical about this Liam is the new Dylan business too. She told me she wasn’t buying it at first, but after seeing Matt Lanter work, she changed her mind. Me? After seeing this evening’s hour, I’m still not convinced, but I’ll give it some time. He doesn’t have to be Dylan reincarnated, I just need him to be interesting, worthy of our attention, you know?

I remember you saying that Liam is going to have relationships with both Naomi and Annie. Is that still the plan? -Kate
Naomi will fall hard for this dude right from the start. And though he completely blows her off tonight and doesn’t seem at all interested, she will win him over. I think he may even be taking her to the prom in May. His relationship with Annie, however, will build slowly. Shenae said Liam sort of challenges Annie. He doesn’t believe that she’s really as nice and sweet as she tries to come off. I guess he antagonizes her a bit and it sounds like the whole dynamic just reeks of sexual tension.

Korbi, Can you just tell us which long running “90210” couple will break up for good by next season? It’s gotta be Silver and Dixon, but not knowing for sure is driving me crazy. -Deanna

All I can say is Silver and Dixon are definitely in for more difficult times. As I first told you back in January, Silver is about to suffer a mental breakdown and her issues with Dixon will set off a major episode tonight. I’ll speak plainly, the girl done lost her mind.

Any news on my favorite “90210” character Navid? -Penn
I don’t think he appears in this evening’s new episode, actually. If he does, it’s briefly. But he’ll be back in a big way soon, don’t worry. Like I said before, he and Adrianna are not done.





News Roundup: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The O.C. and More

20 03 2009
  • This could make teen drama cross-over history!  Apparently Josh Schwartz is thinking about including an ’80s era Kirsten and Jimmy from The O.C. on the Gossip Girl spin-off as friends of Lily.
  • Korbi at Zap2it has a preview clip of Monday’s Gossip Girl.
  • Tons of fans showed up where One Tree Hill is filming, presumably, Lucas and Peyton’s wedding.
  • President Obama briefly mentioned Gossip Girl in a recent Town Hall session.
  • Austin Nicholas (Julian, One Tree Hill) reads from The Fountainhead, one of his favorite books, in a video on the Southern Gothic Productions blog.
  • Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek) says being on the show didn’t leave him time to “grow up.”
  • Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210) will star in a movie about an all-black unit of the army serving in World War II.
  • Finally watched the Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion that aired on BIO in February.  Turns out, it WAS the same special that aired in 2003.  Despite the description saying it would include Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green, it didn’t as they weren’t in it then and obviously aren’t in it now.  A bit disappointing, but still fun to watch it again and relive the memories!
