- Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210) is given the backhanded compliment of “looking better” in the January 26th issue of PEOPLE. She’s among two others (Nicole Richie and Amy Winehouse) who were “once blasted for appearing dangerously thin [and now] are starting the new year with fitter figures.”
- Korbi over at Zap2it says the Annie/Ethan drama on 90210 is “killing” her. Says Korbi: “The series seems insistent on making them the epicenter of the show and I can’t stress what a bad idea this is.” I have to agree, only because I can’t really stand Annie.
- Adam Kaufman (Ethan, Dawson’s Creek) stars alongside Lauren Ambrose in the CBS movie Loving Leah, which airs this Sunday.
- The January 23rd issue of Entertainment Weekly gives a fresh take on Heath Ledger’s death, and the role his relationship with Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) played in it.
- In that same issue, EW gives Jessica Szhor’s Vanessa (Gossip Girl) a “death wish.” The mag writes, “Face it, Gossip Girl. Your resident hipster is about as much of a renegade as Nick on Family Ties. It’s about time she was run over by a Starbucks delivery truck.”
- The One Tree Hill fan reunion has mysteriously been canceled…You can read why here.

Gossip Girl Spin-Off Details!
18 01 2009Watch with Kristin reports the following:
- After months of denials, there will in fact be a Gossip Girl spin-off.
- But even though rumors said it was going to be about Lily and Rufus in their younger years, it’s actually just about Lily…and her sister.
- The show will be begin with Lily leaving her privileged life to live with her free-spirit sister in the Valley.
- How does this affect GG? It doesn’t really. The spin-off will get its start in a GG flashback at the end of this season but otherwise, the two will have very little in common. Creator Josh Schwartz promises: “We’re being very, very careful that nothing we do will feel like we are biting off from the Gossip Girl original.”
- And what about Rufus? He may make an appearance…if the show lasts more than one season. “He’s not one of our characters. Maybe at some point” Schwartz says. LAME!
- Read the whole article for a couple additional details–and some Chuck/Blair talk.

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.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210 and More
14 01 2009- OTH made EW’s Must List for the week. See if you can spot the factual error!
- More details have been released on Kelly Rutherford’s (Lily, Gossip Girl) impending divorce and why her husband blames the show.
- Dawn Ostroff, in talking about CW viewers: “Our fans really love some of that heightened drama, as you can see when you watch ‘One Tree Hill’ and ‘Gossip Girl.‘ So the job is both: to get them emotionally invested in the people and then do storylines that have twists and turns and surprises you never expected.”
- There’s another Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) story, similar to the one we posted last night.
- And another Jessica Lowdnes (Adrianna, 90210) story.
- Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) is on the cover of Vogue. Lively calls the GG fashion “unbelievable.” You can read the whole interview here. Another article, more about Vogue, though.
- AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) has some pretty steamy photos in the February issue of GQ.

Monday Night Reaction
13 01 2009GOSSIP GIRL
- Ed Westwick does the sad eyes very well.
- Was Blair really invited to the will reading?
- My guess is Blair hooked up with Uncle Jack before she knew who he was.
- Q1: “Strings attached. I’ll look like a marionette.”–Chuck
- T’was nice of Nate to show up and support Chuck.
- Q2: “I wouldn’t have come to this party if I knew I wasn’t VIP.”
- A lawyer is there to represent Lily’s interests–but what are they?
- The Chuck-Jack guardian convo was pretty funny.
- Chuck’s inheritance being put in a trust was very Dylan/Jack McKay-esque. Next thing we’ll find out is Bart isn’t really dead (after all, we didn’t see the crash)!
- Wonder how long Bart had that letter to Chuck prepared.
- Q3:”Why do you wear so much purple?”–Chuck guessing what the letter would say
- Awkward to read such a personal letter aloud, no?
- Q4: “The Italian au pair took care of that.”–Chuck
- Chuck’s point about now being worthy was a good one.
- Jenny-Eric-Jonathan is an interesting take on the third wheel concept. Two guys and a girl!
- Hilariously sad that Nelly’s on probation.
- So is Jack evil or just a dick?
- Q5: “Is lowly lonely boy cheating on our queen? Does the name Georgina ring a bell?”–Gossip Girl
- Q6: “You noticed that waitress I was gonna go home with had a penis so consider us even.”–Jack
- Did Jack predict Chuck would resist him taking over? How long had he been planning his scheme?
- Q7: “What do you want, Jack?” “You, obviously. ” “Ugh, hanging up!”–Blair and Jack
- Q8: “Why not celebrate Bart dying? That’ll be just as tasteless.”–Blair
- Stupid of Blair to trust Jack. She’s usually smarter than that.
- I assumed–apparently incorrectly–that Blair and Chuck were back on after he came down from the ledge and into her arms last week.
- Q9: “Are you sure this is a good time for a flare up of Chuck fever?”–Serena
- Q10: “Not that anyone would want Dan Humphrey. No offense.”–Blair
- Q11: “Brooklyn pig!”–Those girls (love them!)
- Q12: “How could you let him do it, V?” “You know who I am?” “Dating Nate after striking out with Dan Humphrey? Talk about falling upward!”–Those girls and Vanessa
- Q13: “Last time I had a friend like that I wound up with gonorrhea.
- Jack knows Chuck’s weakness! But really, who doesn’t?
- Q14: “Business and Blair or cocktails and coquettes?”–Gossip Girl (The Coquette is a great book, FYI!)
- Do you think Serena believed Vanessa when she said she didn’t know anything? I couldn’t really tell.
- Totally didn’t make sense at first why Nelly stole Dan’s phone. But now…woah, Nelly!
- Q15: “At this rate you’ll be off probation before your second marriage.” “Make that you first marriage.”–Penelope
- Chuck is an ass! Guess we knew that already, though.
- Surprised at first that Lily and Rufus made no romantic relationship progress while stuck in a hotel together…but then I melted when she took his hand.
- Not surprised that Rufus wasn’t giving up easily on finding his child.
- Q16: “Spare me those expressive eyebrows. I can’t wait til you get Botox!”–Blair
- Less Jenny = better show
- Rotary reference was funny but most the audience probably didn’t get it.
- Surprised the girls asked B’s permission before spilling all to Gossip Girl.
- Q17: “Bomb’s away girls.”–Penelope
- Q18: “While I’m always a fan of star-crossed lovers, at least Romeo and Juliet didn’t share DNA.”–Gossip Girl (Technically, Dan and Serena don’t either. They just have a sibling that shares with each of them.)
- Was Chuck really doing drugs? He looked drugged out but then came to his senses pretty quickly…
- I liked that Eric and Jenny were speechless to each other when they found out about the sibling, but that still said so much!
- Wanted Blair to slap Chuck when he was going off on her.
- Q19: “Stop trying to play wife!”–Chuck
- Q20: “Guess it makes sense that we fight like siblings.”
- I expected Serena to be more mad at Dan than she was.
- Lily said she didn’t want to find out they made a mistake. But didn’t they already?!
- Q21: “I don’t want to spend another minute trapped in this hotel room, scared you’re gonna hate me when I’m still in love with you.”–Lily
- Loved that Rufus went and kissed her after that!
- Was the talk of visiting Paris foreshadowing?
- Liked getting more (a few) details on Jack’s relationship to Bart and Jack’s involvement with the company
- Q22: “A teenager who can’t keep his pecker in his pants for more than 24 hours?” “At least I can keep mine in service for longer than 5 minutes!”–Jack and Chuck
- Morality clause!
- Q23: “Sounds like it’s got grandma written all over it.” “And it reeks of gin and Chanel No. 5.”–Eric and Serena
- Eric made a great point on how Dan is probably just as upset/confused as Serena is.
- Nate’s apology to Dan was nice but pretty random in the episode.
- Q24: “This whole thing made me nostalgia for the days when Jenny was the problem.”–Dan (Um, that was only last month!)
- The adopted father lied! No wonder he didn’t show any pictures! And that article was probably about their OTHER son’s death!
- So how long will it before Lily and Rufus find out their son really is alive?
- Chuck picked out some pretty ugly flowers!
- Chuck should’ve told Blair that he loved her. That would’ve made all the difference, I think. Instead, he gave up. Disappointing.
- The Clueless reference was great!
- Loved Lily and Rufus clasping hands at the end!
- Promo suggests bitchy Blair is back. Then again, was she ever really gone?
ONE TREE HILL
- After the ‘previously on One Tree Hill’ segment included Sam’s ‘I need you, Mom’ from last week, I thought that would be explored in this ep but…no.
- Don’t see where the Jack/Sam storyline is going. Drop it, please.
- Interesting to hear Julian give Sam advice (and call her Samson!). Shows yet another side of him.
- Quote 1: “Can’t they just go back to stalking Britney or something?’–Brooke
- Didn’t expect Brooke to blame herself for Q’s death. Did expect more follow-up on Q now that everyone knew who killed him.
- Q2: “His junk’s got a meeting with your lady business!”–Sam (Think she’s finally starting to grow on me!)
- So Nathan just started pro-basketball, his life-long dream, and says he wants a break already?
- Weird that Brooke was actually crying about Peyton’s dress. Her delayed/real reaction to the pregnancy was nice, though.
- Q3: “Going to excuse myself from this Brooke-Peyton lesbian hug thing.”–Sam
- Very proud of Mouth for being so open about his feelings. How did he know it was Owen? Did she tell him in the last ep?
- Millie made a good point: her virginity was hers. And Mouth is wrong for even saying she was his. Girls aren’t property!
- Surprised Chase so blatantly asked Mia out.
- Baby Brooke is adorable.
- Julian said Peyton’s pregnancy is awkward for “historical reasons.” As in, just because they dated in the past…or is there more to it?!
- Soon-to-be parents babysitting is such a recycled storyline in television–and OTH (Naley, season 4)
- Didn’t Peyton tell Haley in the last episode that she was pregnant?
- Brooke said to Millie that you’re never okay when an ex dates a friend. Is that her way of saying she’s still not okay with Leyton?
- On the other hand, though, her ultimate reaction to Millie was pretty mature and shows how much she’s learned.
- Brooke said Millie is hurting more than Mouth. Don’t know that that’s true.
- Mousetrap is so old school! That was a nice throwback.
- The poker scene was pretty hysterical. Jamie is wise beyond his years!
- Mia cleaned up pretty well!
- “Totally the iron.” “Totally you.”–Mia and Chase
- Karaoke switch was pretty funny; loved the cross-cutting with Jamie and Andre
- How did Jamie and Andre know a song like that?
- Not the first time we’ve seen Nathan dance on a stage!
- Lucas’ paternity test joke was so no funny!
- Q4: “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”–Peyton
- Julian’s joke about Brooke spending most of high school naked was funny. And kind of true.
- Do you think Julian’s comment about relating to Brooke through the book was genuine–or just a line?
- Sam’s hand-holding story was tragically-cute.
- Was Nathan really trying to talk Chase out of dating Mia/
- Q5: “If you meet a guy named Chris Keller, punch first, ask questions later.”–Nathan
- Did you catch Fergie and Junk doing their karaoke number? (Love the song they chose!)
- Q6: “We put them down like an hour ago.”–Jamie (while cover in ice cream)
- Chase and Mia were shy and awkward. Not sure if I liked it. Their last scene was very reminiscent of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
- Brooke and Julian kinda sucked me in. I guess I’ll be okay if she’s not with Owen or chase.
- Millie and Mouth wrapped up too quickly. Didn’t expect him to let her go so easily. Maybe he won;t?
- Do walkie talkies really work that far apart? I think not.
- Loved the brotherly love between Lucas and Nathan at the end.
- Q7: “Over and out, daddy!”–Jamie
- So Chad Michael Murray directed this episode and that obviously takes a lot of work. But gotta say, there was no discernible difference between this and other episodes.
- Promo was a bit too choppy/all over the place for me. Not really looking forward to James Van Der Beek coming back.

News Roundup: Gossip Girl, 90210, One Tree Hill
13 01 2009- Kelly Rutherford, whose divorce I first told you about here, went to the courts to stop her estranged husband from leaving the country with her son. Unfortunately for her, the request was denied. PEOPLE reports an increasingly ugly situation between the two. Her husband alledges Rutherford’s work on Gossip Girl (Lily) is part of the problem.
- Jessica Lowdnes (Adrianna, 90210) says she’s a series regular. Haven’t seen it listed that way anywhere but guess we have to believe her?
- CBS unveiled yesterday a new 90210 product: a karaoke machine! I kid you not. Check it out here and here. Suppose I’ll add it to the recommended products list…?
- If the last one wasn’t random enough, how about this one: Kate Voegele (Mia, One Tree Hill) will perform on an upcoming episode of The Bachelor.
- Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) will be on a panel of “leading women” giving advice to advertisers on how to market to women.

12 01 2009RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Michelle in Williamsport, Pa.: The cast of 90210 is so hot. Any chance any of them are actually single?
Not even close. Those 90210 kids just can’t help but date each other. Dustin Milligan and Jessica Stroup were together at the WB/In Style party last night, while Jessica Lowndes and Adam Gregory were spotted Saturday afternoon at the HBO Luxury Lounge, though the pair wouldn’t let the photogs catch them canoodling.
Jesse in Miami: Is Lily and Rufus’ son alive on Gossip Girl? I hope not!
I’m told Rufus and Lily will be told that he’s dead, but then later find out he is not. Yep, Dan and Serena’s romance-slaying half sibling is most definitely among the living, and according to sources, the producers plan to cast some hot new guy to come to the show either later this season or early in season three. So what does this mean for D and S? Is there any way to keep them together now? Let’s discuss in the comments!
Wallace in Reno, Nev.: Give us some good Gossip Girl scoop!
A huge core couple is going to get back together. And trust me, it’s not anyone you would think would get back together. And trust me, I will cry.
