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

  • I am not posting ratings for last night’s One Tree Hill until the final numbers are announced. I’ve been told they’re delayed due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
  • The CW sent out a press release–based on the early numbers, which they normally use–saying Life Unexpected’s total viewers was the most for the 9pm timeslot in more than a year. That means it outperformed One Tree Hill last year (from 1/12/09 til the end of the season) and Gossip Girl all of this season.
  • Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new One Tree Hill video content this week.
  • Examiner.com has an article on Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) and Austin Nichols (Julian, One Tree Hill)–who are totally together, it seems–attending the The Art of Elysium’s annual gala.
  • The new One Tree Hill Connection podcast features an interview with Lindsey McKeon (Taylor, One Tree Hill). Have you read my interview with her?
  • Ausiello is reporting Billy Baldwin has been cast as father to Serena (Blake Lively, Gossip Girl) and Eric (Connor Paolo, Gossip Girl), ex-husband to Lily (Kelly Rutherford, Gossip Girl). Matt Barr (Ian “Psycho Derek” Banks, One Tree Hill) played the young version of Keith in the 80s flashback episode in season 2. Some are saying Keith isn’t S and E’s father and this E! Online article says its William van der Woodsen but I am just confused by it all.
  • I typically don’t link to sites like this but I was just so stunned by this claim that I can’t ignore it. Radar Online is “exclusively” reporting that Rob Estes (Harry, 90210) has quit the show. Some of their facts are clearly wrong: they say “The next season is set to air in the close future – a date has yet to be released by CW as they gear up to debut their new line-up.” The next season–if there is a next season–wouldn’t typically air til the fall and wouldn’t even be announced for a while longer. I am hoping a mainstream, credible site will quickly confirm or deny their report.
  • The same Radar article also has details on Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) and her exit from the show. These seem to be legit as the quotes are coming from her manager, rather than anonymous sources.
  • Garth is starring in a new webseries, called Garden Party. Garth previously appeared in the webseries The Broadroom.
  • Smokin’ Aces 2, starring Autumn Reeser (Taylor, The O.C.), is out on DVD today. Reeser and I discussed the film in our interview and she discusses it in this new one as well. Reeser also mentions her appearance years ago on Star Trek, which starred Jeri Ryan (Charlotte, The O.C.)
  • TVGuide.com has more on Olivia Wilde (Alex, The O.C.) auctioning her Golden Globes dress for charity.
  • Emmanuelle Chriqui, who played Alex’s ex in two episodes of The O.C. was named the Most Desirable Woman of 2010.

  • Peter Facinelli, husband to Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) has reportedly confirmed that Garth is done with 90210 but Garth herself says here that she’s just done for “a while.”
  • Dustin Milligan (Ethan, 90210) is starring in a new film called Repeaters. He talks about 90210 a little bit in the interview.
  • Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl), Kristen Bell (Gossip Girl, Gossip Girl) and Olivia Wilde (Alex, The O.C.) were among the presenters at tonight’s Golden Globes. Wilde will be auctioning the dress she wore for charity.
  • Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) has a new blog post on the SoGoPro site.
  • This article on Life Unexpected, starring Kerr Smith (Jack, Dawson’s Creek) has quite a few teen drama references. And this one has a few DC mentions. Don’t forget: the show premieres tomorrow night after One Tree Hill! (And I’ll be live-blogging OTH).
  • This interview with a 9-year-old actress has some cute Michelle Wiliams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) mentions.
