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 5 Biggest Vixens Pt. 4

12 03 2009

Part One, Part Two, Part Three

2. Gina Kincaid (Beverly Hills, 90210)

Though she actually started appearing before the departure of 90210’s other resident bitch, Valerie, it was clear to anyone with a brain that Gina was meant to serve as some replacement.  And replace she did, going after some of the men Valerie herself once laid claim to: Dylan, Noah and David.  Gina’s arrival–and involvement with Dylan–gave Kelly a new enemy and Donna another family member to fight with.  Among Gina’s schemes: extortion, illegal businesses and workplace back-stabbing.  Classic bitchery!

Brian Austin Green Un-Engaged!

24 02 2009

Better start lining up, single ladies.

Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and Megan Fox (Transformers) have called off their engagement.

Good news for us.  Not so much for him.

Maybe now he’ll get back with babymama Vanessa Marcil (Gina)?

In case you were wondering, only one of the original 90210 guys–Jason Priestley–is currently married!





90210 Locations Pt. 2

You’ve seen Casa Walsh.  Now here’s a different residence…

The Beach Apartment!

While Kelly and Donna did in fact “live” on the beach, it wasn’t in Beverly Hills.  Instead, they lived about a half hour south of Los Angeles, in Hermosa Beach.

Let’s take a second to think about all the different people that lived here: Kelly, Donna, David, Clare, Carly, Gina and Janet.  As Clare once said, it’s all about “location, location, location!”





News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and Dawson’s Creek

17 01 2009
  • Do any of you watch Skins?  The Washington Post says it makes Gossip Girl and 90210 “look like ‘Little House on the Prairie.'”
  • What do the 90210 stars, new and old, think about football and the Superbowl?  You can find out here.
  • Ouch!  A new article calls 90210 “spineless” and Gossip Girl “shallow.”  The article names Friday Night Lights the “teen drama MVP.”  If that’s right, apparently I should be covering it…
  • Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) has managed to keep a low-profile since the series began.  He opens up a teensy bit in this new article.
  • It’s not 90210 and sure ain’t General Hospital.  Instead, Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210) is headed to Without a Trace.
  • The Boston Globe has a great article about Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek), her new movie Wendy and Lucy, and life after Heath.  You can read it here.




Vanessa Marcil in TV Movie

Marcil and BAG (with son Kassius) circa 2004

If you’ve seen her on Beverly Hills, 90210 (Gina) or General Hospital (Brenda), you probably only think of Vanessa Marcil as a vixen or a sexpot.  In a new TV movie (airing Sunday on the Hallmark Channel), she’s playing against type.  The role?  A nanny.  But the highlight of this new interview with TV Guide is definitely the props she gives to ex-fiance/babydaddy Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210)
