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

10 03 2009
  • Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) says he’ll get more air time as Adrianna’s (Jessica Lowndes) pregnany progresses but he doesn’t what his other storylines, if any, will be.
  • Kellan Lutz (George, 90210) says he doesn’t know if AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) will be joining him in the Twilight sequel, New Moon.
  • Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) says she’s “the happiest I’ve ever been” and won’t follow Britney Spears in her (now over?) downward spiral.
  • Matt Barr (Psycho Derek, One Tree Hill) has been added to the cast of the Gossip Girl spin-off.  Since his character’s last name is van der Woodsen, he could be Lily’s future husband and Serena and Eric’s dad.  Or they could be trying to throw us.  Maybe she ends up marrying his brother or cousin or something?  And where does Rufus play a role in this if he’s supposedly the great love of her younger life??
  • Kate Voegle (Mia, One Tree Hill) is working on a new album in addition to filming OTH episodes.
  • Madchen Amick (Catherine, Gossip Girl; Nicole, Dawson’s Creek) has been cast in an ABC pilot.
  • SoapNet has acquired all the seasons of Gilmore Girls but no word yet when it will air or if this will break up the daily and weekend blocks of One Tree Hill, The O.C., and Beverly Hills 90210.

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.

Any ANTM scoop? -Daniel
90210 fans will laugh when they see Erin Silver’s doppelganger on this new ANTM cycle. There’s a model wannabe who not only looks like Jessica Stroup, but sports the signature Silver style. She’s also a street preacher who spreads the good word of God to all those who’ll listen… But hey, I’ve actually heard that Silver may soon leave West Bev and start attending Catholic school.

Korbi, who is getting engaged on 90210? It’s Adrianna and Navid, I know it. When’s the wedding? -Manda
Ade and Navid aren’t really ready — shocking, I know — I think they’ll end up calling this plan off sometime before the end of the season.

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

Emily in Napa, Calif.: Any hopes of seeing Michelle Trachtenberg on Joss Whedon‘s Dollhouse?
Don’t look for little Dawn to be back in the Jossverse any time soon. Michelle just told me that while she’s happy for her former boss, she’s not too familiar with his new show. “I haven’t even seen it. I haven’t heard much about it except it’s premiered and congratulations for that!” Don’t be too disappointed, though. Her lack of knowledge on all things Dollhouse is simply because she’s too busy playing the evil Georgina Sparks again. “I’m most excited to be back on Gossip Girl. It has wonderful people, and it’s really nice just having my first day back, hearing ‘Welcome back.’ ”

Drew in Boston: Hey, I’m dying without my Gossip Girl fix! Please, is there any hope for Serena and Dan now that they have a half-dead-sibling? Anything else you can spill?
Correction: They have a half sibling who is fully alive and whom we will see on the show! And because of that and more, I’m told by a source: “Serena and Dan are really over.” Done. Kaput. No hope for them this season. Sorry! Anyone need a hug? Join me in the comments. As for the rest of the season, Serena will be cozying up big time to her new boy-toy (played by Armie Hammer) and a source tells me: “The last few episodes of the season are chock-full of some of the biggest OMFG moments of the series.” I think I just tinkled a little. Why do I love this show so? Darn you, Josh Schwartz and your TV crack!

Martin in New York: One Tree Hill! Will we get a wedding?
Lucas and Peyton’s wedding will happen this season. However, how it will end is a whole other story. (Here’s hoping he doesn’t say the name Rachel.) Also, get ready to see the softer (but still bitchy!) side of Victoria.

Heidi in Bristol, Conn.: I can’t wait for Georgina to come back to Gossip Girl! Any chance we’ll see more of her next season, too?
I’m just as excited as you are, especially after all of the goodies we just revealed about Georgina’s return!
Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina) tells us nothing has been decided just yet about her Gossip Girl fate, but her answer did have us leaning toward a yes! “A character like Georgina is so fantastic, and there are so many elements that are exciting and untapped, so you never know.” And while she has nothing planned, Michelle went on to say that she would definitely be open to a full-time TV gig, whether it’s G.G. or something new. “I think the wonderful thing about doing TV shows is that you get a few months out of the year to do films as well, so you get the best out of every world.” Did you hear that Josh Schwartz? Start working on another masterpiece for this girl!

Wallace in Orlando, Fla.: How about some 90210?
With love from our hot and sunny zip code to yours: Naomi’s sister Jen is coming to town, and if you thought Naomi was manipulative and a schemer, just wait till you meet big sis! Also, Adrianna and Navid’s bachelor and bachelorette parties put things into perspective for both characters, including a possible gateway back into drugs for pregnant Adrianna, which would elicit a sternly worded letter from yours truly to that little trollop.

Hey Korbi, Thanks for letting us know Adrianna and Navid would get back together. I love them as a couple! Any more 90210 news? -Kelley
I don’t know if the 9-0 writers have been watching too much Secret Life of the American Teenager — or maybe they’re partial to Engaged & Underage — but one of their young twosomes will be betrothed before the end of the season… while another couple we love will get to work on an internet sex video.

Anything on 90210? -Missy
Adrianna and Navid are so not over. And the adoption option is still on the table. I’m told Navid will be at Ade’s side as she weighs the possibilities and meets with prospective parents.

Please tell me this Blair and Nate thing won’t last. -Karolina
Take comfort, it’ll be but a blip in the Gossip Girl timeline.





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.




New 90210 tonight!

13 01 2009

Here is the episode description from TV.com:

Electrifying revelations stir up trouble this week as the teens of West Beverly come clean to each other. Adrianna reveals her secret to Naomi and Navid, who handle the news differently than expected. And when Dixon reveals the depths of his feelings to Silver, their relationship takes a surprising turn. Meanwhile, Tabitha surprises her grandchildren with an unexpected gift, and Annie and Ethan escape from Beverly Hills to the desert beauty of Palm Springs.

90210

  • Naomi’s interactions with Sean/Sean’s interactions with Naomi are so creepy–regardless of whether he’s her brother.
  • Again convinced Dixon and Silver are one of the best things about the show.
  • The Pictionary scene was pretty cute.
  • Still weird hearing “Ms. Taylor” and “Miss Walsh.”
  • Interesting they chose to reverse Dixon and Annie’s rooms from what Brandon and Brenda had in the original.
  • Liked the incorporation of some realism with Tabitha’s comment about the market.
  • Couldn’t the part about why Sean needs money be true?  Again, regardless of whether he’s who he says he is.
  • Brenda said she “burned bridges.”  What’s happened to her relationships with everyone else?
  • Loved Kelly telling her off, but hated her hair!
  • How/why does Brenda have such a nice house?!
  • I will never accept a new Peach pit.
  • Enough with the Dr. Pepper references.
  • Brenda’s semi-apology at the rehab center was kind of nice.
  • So was Sean really beat up and by who?
  • Strange that they’re going with a Brenda can’t have kids storyline when Kelly had the same problem.  At least they sort of mentioned it.
  • Brenda and Kelly patched things up way too quickly.
  • Since when do they give medical results in a waiting room?!
  • So did Adrianna sleep with Navid or no?
  • If Christina isn’t interested in Dixon, why kiss him?  (Even on the cheek?)
  • That’s a lot of pressure to be asked to sing like that!  I was very impressed with Tristan Wild’s voice.
  • Where was Navid?
  • Who knew $200,000 would be such a huge deal to Beverly Hills people?
