Tori Spelling on the new 90210

23 05 2009

“I knew that first and foremost they had to make it their own thing. It couldn’t be a remake, because people compare everything to the original. And they’re always going to find fault with new shows that are trying to recreate something that was very specific to its era. And, you know 90210 was the ‘90s. So I think it’s great when they pay homage to those fans…But I think truly to be a stand up show they needed to create their own characters and just have a time in a Beverly Hills setting. And I think they’ve done a nice job of really creating their own show.”

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

Tiana in Portland, Ore.: Is Donna Martin coming back to 90210 next season?
There’s no official word, but Tori Spelling certainly hopes so. She tells us, “I had a great time. All the fans are really happy that Donna is back, so I hope to do more.” So what would little miss Donna be doing if she stuck around Beverly Hills? “Ideally, it would be awesome if David (Brian Austin Green) moved back to Beverly Hills, and we could have Ruby, our baby. I could be a designer and have everything—have my cake and eat it, too. I think it would be great for the fans,” adds Tori.

Miller in Dallas: When will we know about Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton on One Tree Hill?
The CMM-H.B. situation will go down to the wire. Expect news no sooner than May.

Kim in Bath, England: I need to know if Chuck and Blair are ever going to work things out on Gossip Girl!
We can promise that this year’s Gossip Girl finale is not going to be a repeat of last year’s Bluck disaster: This time around, Chuck doesn’t screw over Blair. In fact, we can promise that if you love Chuck and Blair, you will love the finale, and you will be compensated for all your pain and suffering over this past year.

Wendy in Cape Coral, Fla.: What’s the deal with Rufus and Lily on Gossip Girl? Are they going to move in together or what?
That’s all going to feel very secondary after the Gossip Girl finale, when we will meet (finally) the spawn of Rufus and Lily. Are you guys excited to meet the spawn, or does his introduction make the show too Brady Bunch-y?

Bobbi in Ithaca, N.Y.: Who dies on 90210?
We won’t know until next year. We’ll see what appears to be a dead body in the 90210 finale, but the person’s face will remain hidden.

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.

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

Now that Donna has appeared on 90210, is it possible that there will be a reunion with Brenda as well? — Jeff
MICKEY:
Funny you should ask, Jeff. So far the answer is no. But when I asked Tori Spelling the same question this week, she said, “I know the fans would love it,” and not much more. As it stands, Tuesday was Spelling’s last episode this season. Shannen Doherty appears in the May 19 finale. A paranoid person might think their near-miss was intentional. I am a paranoid person.
