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.

Any Gossip Girl scoop? Nate and Serena aren’t hooking up for season finale, right? — Daniel
MICKEY: No! That would never happen! I mean, Nate and Serena would totally be the least likely couple in all of Gossip-dom, especially considering their sleazy history. It would be totally unexpected, right? Plus, when I mentioned that the producers should fix Gossip Girl by dirtying up fuzzy bunnies Serena and Nate, it’s not like the powers that be were listening. Right? Right?

Please tell me the banana from last week’s racy episode of 90210 is replacing Annie as the show’s main character. At least it had appeal. Get it? Lee
MICKEY: Hey Lee, smell my flower. I’m sorry to say that Shenae Grimes will be sticking around. (Dustin Milligan, who plays Ethan, on the other hand, will not be.) If it helps, I’m hearing that Naomi’s special brand of emotional terrorism will again set its laser sights on Annie toward the end of the season. So, there’s that for you to anticipate. In the meantime, keep the banana out of it.

Will there be a continuation of Gossip Girl‘s storyline about Lily and Rufus’ child? Yankee
MICKEY: I had a college roommate who called me Yankee. I called him A–hole. For the Supremes fan in the house, the love child/never-meant-to-be will show up May 4 to wreak havoc on Lily and Rufus’ blissful, excitement-free union. I’m hearing it’s kind of cliff-hang-y, as the season’s final two episodes will tee up the Brittany Snow spin-off and reveal exactly what Bart Bass had in that envelope.

You said in a recent Mega Minute that One Tree Hill‘s Nathan gets an offer to play basketball in Europe. Please say he doesn’t accept! I need my “Naley” intact. — Bess
MATT: Maybe, just maybe, the Scotts’ marriage will dodge that bullet if Nathan instead gets recruited by a very local NBA team — which this photo seems to suggest. Then again, those Tree Hill kids have always been big dreamers.

Reader Quote of the Week: “Please for the love of god, kill Nate. If [Gossip Girl is] gonna jump the shark, the least they could do is have him die in a freak hair straightening accident.” (asho902, weighing in on Gossip Girl‘s flirtation with the Shark)

The rumblings about Chad Michael Murray leaving One Tree Hill are not surprising. But please tell me the CW is not foolish enough to let Hilarie Burton leave, too. — Mr Orange
MATT: What if I told you that perhaps neither actor is leaving? A setsider tells the Buzz that Tree Hill producers seem to be allowing for such an outcome, seeing as the season finale script makes no reference to Lucas and/or Peyton … and/or their soon-to-arrive baby/babies … leaving town.

I love Gossip Girl, but I think this Eyes Wide Shut storyline is the single stupidest thing the show has done, and Elle is the worst character ever. Please tell me she’s never coming back! — H.C.
MICKEY: Never say never, H.C.! But it’s a pretty safe bet that Monday’s double-cross marks the narrative end of that Pretty Woman. In the meantime, remember when we asked how to fix Gossip Girl? Well, I have it on good authority that these final episodes will address two of our problems directly, which means some fun work coming up for both Blake Lively and Chace Crawford.

Please tell me the student-teacher sex storyline on Gossip Girl will be short-lived. Talk about cliché! — Charles
MICKEY:
While “hot for teacher” isn’t exactly breaking new narrative ground to begin with, here’s my thing: Rachel isn’t even that hot, and neither is the chemistry she shares with Dan Ho-Humphrey. So I’m with you, Charles, they should put this story to bed, so to speak, as soon as possible. And it looks like they’re going to — in a very surprising way. The bad news: Chuck’s hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold from the Eyes Wide Shut party turns up again like a bad penny. Emphasis on bad. And pennies.

Is it me or is the fashion on 90210 not so fashion-y? — Tara
MICKEY: On most days, my only major fashion decision goes something like: “Corduroy jacket or pants?” So take this all with a grain of salt. I think Silver has an interesting look, but Annie and Naomi dress like they got lost in Gabrielle Carteris’ wardrobe trailer. Amirite? But that’s all about to end, as there is professional help on the horizon. Wait until you see who’s going to help the ladies pick out their prom dresses. I die.

Is 90210‘s Adrianna actually keeping the baby? Is that the right message to send to kids? -— Shirl
MICKEY: Well, Shirl, maybe, maybe not. But 90210 isn’t exactly Message Central anyway. (Did you catch the beej in the pilot?) The good news — for you, anyway — is that Adrianna will be having a shower in a future episode. What kind of shower is where it gets interesting, especially for Navid.

Before Gossip Girl‘s cruelly long hiatus, a preview showed Uncle Jack telling Chuck what had happened between him and Blair on New Year’s. But the scene was cut from the episode, and now Jack is gone! Will this ever be brought up again? — H.C.
MICKEY:
This reminds me of the time that my great-uncle Shorty, he of the “go-to-hell” pants, went missing at an ice-skating party. Fortunately, we just followed the Schnapps fumes down to his favorite thinking log and there he was, unconscious. Uncle Jack, on the other hand, is very much alive Down Under. My personal Gossip girl tells me we’ll revisit the Uncle F—a situation in a future episode, which doesn’t bode well for Blair. The real question: If we take that preview scene at face value, does that mean that Chuck already knows?

Please ask the producers of 90210 to quit shilling Dr. Pepper and splashing their logo all over the place. — Bill S.
MICKEY: I know, right? That logo is everywhere. My West Bev mole tells me that the Dr. Pepper deal was an experiment gone slightly awry. Future product placement will aim for more subtlety. Besides, Diet Coke with Lime is a far superior carbonated beverage, several free cases of which I would never turn down.
