  • Beginning July 28 (but really August 2), 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill will air according to their fall schedule timeslots: 90210 and Gossip Girl at 8 and 9 on Mondays and One Tree Hill at 8 on Tuesdays.
  • Korbi debated whether the season 1 or season 2 finale of 90210 was better.
  • The L.A. Times has an interview with Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210), with a pretty interesting BH90210-related poll at the end.

  • An episode of The O.C . is reportedly featured in the new film Marmaduke, which opened today.
  • As you may have heard, Rue McClanahan of the Golden Girls died today. I tweeted this morning that Summer (Rachel Bilson, The O.C.) and Anna (Samaire Armstrong, The O.C.) would be devastated. A few hours later, Zap2it posted the key clip.
  • Tate Donovan (Jimmy, The O.C.) is no longer starring in No Ordinary Family, which stars Autumn Reeser (Taylor, The O.C.) and is executive produced by Greg Berlanti (writer-producer, Dawson’s Creek), but he might appear at some point as a guest star.

  • The L.A. Times has an interview with Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210).
  • Teen Today has an interview with Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210) but it’s really…well, you’ll see.
  • Parade.com has an interview with Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210). It’s good but there’s nary a mention of BH90210.
  • You can watch the trailer for Call Me Fitz (previously called Meet Phil Fitz), the upcoming Canadian series starring Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210). Warning: this is NSFW and very far removed from Brandon Walsh! (I think the latter is part of the point.)
  • Thanks to Talking Gossip After Dark for the shoutout!
  • Ausiello has a pretty big Gossip Girl spoiler.
  • Kristin also has some spoilers, but less big.
  • PEOPLE.com has a spoilish “first look” at next week’s Gossip Girl.
  • Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl) is now a Global Ambassador for Herbal Essences. (Women’s Wear Daily has an article announcing the deal but you have to be a subscriber to their Web site to read it.)
  • US Weekly has an article on the supposed split between Meester and Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl) but I still don’t know if it’s true.

  • I may not be able to live-blog this week’s episodes due to Passover. If that ends up being the case, I will have reaction posts later in the week.
  • The L.A. Times has an interesting post on The CW’s decision to add more commercials during online viewings of their shows.
  • One Tree Hill returns with new episodes one month from today. (A repeat will air on 4/19.)
  • The listing for this house says it was used on One Tree Hill but I can’t figure out whose it is. Brooke? Peyton? Rachel? None of the above? Anyway…the house is up for auction to benefit the Methodist Home For Children.
  • The Soup Dish spoofed Gossip Girl’s sex-with-food-in-the-kitchen scene from last week’s episode.
  • Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl) is in Hot Tub Time Machine, which was released in theaters today.
  • E! Online and TV Fanatic have spoiler-filled interviews with Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210). Have you read my two interviews with him?

  • According to the new issue of Soap Opera Weekly, Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210) is once again “in talks” with General Hospital. I haven’t read the article. (You’ll notice Zack Conroy is also on the cover. He appeared on one episode of Gossip Girl as Ben, the guy Blair meets at the airplane when Chuck stands her up in the season 1 finale).
  • Star News has an article on One Tree Hill’s success this year, noting how the 7th season means it surpassed Dawson’s Creek as Wilmington’s longest running show. It also made OTH the second longest running teen drama.
  • Jana Kramer (Alex, One Tree Hill) tweeted that she’s engaged. Her fiance, Johnathon Schaech tweeted it as well. Brett Claywell (Tim, One Tree Hill) posted well wishes to them on Facebook.
  • The Best Chrismukkah Ever from The O.C. ranked 16 on EW.com’s list of Classic Holiday TV Episodes.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210 and More

  • Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
  • Last night’s One Tree Hill (2.3 million viewers) and Gossip Girl (2.0 million viewers rounded up) each had a decent drop in the ratings compared to last week.  Gossip Girl technically didn’t even cross 2 million (again, I rounded up), tying for a season-low.
  • I will be interviewing Lee Norris (Mouth, One Tree Hill) later this week.  Since I’ve already interviewed him, I figured this time I would use reader questions.  Please comment with your question by Thursday Friday morning.  I cannot promise it will be asked but I’ll do my best!
  • The new One Tree Hill Connection podcast features an interview with OTH writer Terrence Coli.
  • I love this video interview with Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill), where she adamantly states she isn’t on Twitter.  As you’ve seen in my Twitter Directory, there are tons of fake Sophias out there.  Frustrating!
  • Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) recorded a message on SoGoPro.
  • If you haven’t seen Brett Claywell (Tim, One Tree Hill) on One Life to Live, Perez Hilton actually posted a clip.
  • In a Gossip Girl recap by the L.A. Times, both Andrea (Gabrielle Carteris, Beverly Hills 90210) and Joey (Katie Holmes, Dawson’s Creek) are compared to Vanessa (Jessica Szhor, Gossip Girl).
  • If you missed the short clip of the video for “Somebody to Love” by Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl), which aired during GG last night, E! Online posted it.
  • The Parents Television Council has sent a letter urging CW affiliates not to air next week’s episode, which will feature the reported threesome.  Seems a little preemptive (no pun intended) to me.  I can’t imagine the episode being vulgar enough to warrant this.  I imagine, like the gay kiss, it will be such a nothing thing and is really more about getting publicity and media attention (in which case, it worked).  But I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
  • You can get 10% off the cost of tickets for the Gossip Girl tour in New York City when you use the promo code TEENDRAMA.
  • TV Guide Magazine has a spoiler-filled interview with Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210) about what happens with the Jackie (Ann Gillespie) storyline.  We all know how I feel about this so I figured I’d spare you guys the rant.
  • Ausiello has a lot more spoiler-filled details on the Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes, 90210) / Gia (Rumer Willis, 90210) storyline.
  • Kellan Lutz (George, 90210) and Nikki Reed (Sadie, The O.C.) are also featured in the Nov. issue of Nylon.
  • The O.C. made BlackBook’s list of Top 10 Single-Letter & Acronymical TV Shows.
  • Adam Brody (Seth, The O.C.) will star alongside Holmes in The Romantics.  Holmes will also produce.
  • The A.V. Club has a great interview with Chris Pratt (Che, The O.C.)

  • My review copy of Spotted: Your One and Only Unofficial Guide to Gossip Girl came in the mail this weekend.  I don’t know how fast I’ll be able to truck through it but when I do, I will give you the cliffnotes.
  • Be sure to watch 90210 tomorrow night–they are reairing the season one finale and then next Tuesday is the season two premiere!
  • AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) is included in this week’s Red Carpet Recap by TVGuide.com.

  • Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) and Lori Loughlin (Debbie, 90210) presented the Outstanding Talk Show Host award at last night’s Daytime Emmys.  You can see a photo of Garth on the red carpet here.  Loughlin made TV Guide Canada’s list of best-dressed.
  • EW.com is calling Aaron Spelling (executive producer, Beverly Hills 90210) the “god of guilty-pleasure TV.”
  • Laura Leighton (Sophie, Beverly Hills 90210) is on the cover of TV Guide Magazine.  The issue is also chock-full of teen drama goodness.
  • Well, One Tree Hill did end up filming that bridge scene. This article on it is a lot more spoilish, as are these photos.
  • There’s a new One Tree Hill podcast, this one featuring Shantel Van Santen (Quinn).
  • Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) has a new blog post over at SoGoPro.
