- When compared to their respective previous episodes, last week’s One Tree Hill (2.4 million viewers rounded up) dropped a decent amount in the ratings while Gossip Girl (2.2 million viewers) stayed the same. 90210 (2.1 million viewers) also had the same ratings.
- As The CW brags about its ratings, The Hollywood Reporter points out its failure.
- The Yale Daily News has a surprisingly accurate take (IMO, anyway) on the state of the teen drama genre.
- OK! Magazine has an interview with Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill). Coincidentally, the writer and I were once sent to cover the same event.
- Star News Online has quite possibly the best feature story I’ve ever read on Paul Johansson (Dan, One Tree Hill; John, Beverly Hills 90210).
- Candy Spelling has confirmed that she and daughter Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) have reconciled.
- Gossip Cop says rumors that Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210) is using co-star Rumer Willis (Gia, 90210) to get to stepdad Ashton Kutcher are false.
- Power of Youth, which just honored Kellan Lutz (George, 90210) with one of their awards, is auctioning off a lunch date with him. The Miami Herald has a short interview with him.
- This Ain’t Beverly Hills 90210 XXX is a porn spoof of the show. The trailer is actually pretty funny. (No nudity shown.)
- TVGuide.com and TheDailyNewsOnline.com both have interviews with James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek).

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210 and More
3 11 2009- 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.)

News Roundup: 90210, The O.C., Gossip Girl and Dawson’s Creek
29 10 2009- This is an interesting article on the future of The CW and what it means for television.
- Ausiello has a pretty big spoiler about Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes, 90210) and Gia (Rumer Willis, 90210).
- MTV has an article on the above, which rightly points out a comparison to The O.C.
- Well, Greg Vaughan (Cliff, Beverly Hills 90210) tweeted more info and he WON’T be playing Cliff when he appears on 90210. Just another instance of this new show killing the original. Ugh.
- Soap Opera Source has a few details on the role Vaughan WILL play.
- Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina, Gossip Girl) spoke with MTV about playing her GG character versus her role on Mercy.
- A gossip columnist says Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) and Penn Badgley (Dan, Gossip Girl) will announce an engagement soon, and the estranged husband of Kelly Rutherford (Lily, Gossip Girl) is planning a tell-all book on her and the show.
- Leona Lewis says she chose not to kiss Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl) in her music video.
- A few little Dawson’s Creek references in this Los Angeles Times interview with Kevin Williamson (creator, Dawson’s Creek).
- Television Without Pity has an article comparing Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries (which Williamson also created).

Ten Most Memorable Guest-Stars and Cameos
7 10 2009During what’s known as “sweeps period,” TV shows usually pull out all the stops–storylines come to a head, shocking things are revealed and famous actors drop by for cameos.
What struck me as interesting recently is that The CW isn’t restricting itself to those time periods.
With Tyra Banks and Hilary Duff appearing on Gossip Girl this week, and Rumer Willis’ recurring role on 90210, I started thinking about stunt casting on our other shows.
For the next few days, I’ll count down the ten most memorable guest-stars and cameos from all of the teen dramas.
To kick things off, here are the 3 mentioned above. I’m not including them because they are the most recent but because I really do believe they deserve a spot on the this most memorable list.
10. Hilary Duff
Show: Gossip Girl
Episode: Begins with 3.04: Dan de Fleurette
Role: Olivia Burke
Status: Recurring
9. Rumer Willis
Show: 90210
Episode: Begins with 2.02: To Sext or Not To Sext
Role: Gia
Status: Recurring
8. Tyra Banks
Show: Gossip Girl
Episode: 3.04: Dan de Fleurette
Role: Ursula
Status: Guest-Star
Come back tomorrow for part 2 of my countdown!

4 09 2009- Anothing interesting article on The CW.
- Dawn Ostroff, head of The CW, said remaking 90210 was “an experiment.”

Spoiler: Watch with Kristin
18 08 2009RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Kelly in Michigan: Please tell me that the Dan-Georgina hookup in the Gossip Girl promos is misdirection!
No can do. Michelle Trachtenberg‘s Georgina and Penn Badgley‘s Dan really do hook up in season three of Gossip Girl. Naughty! (BTW, in case you missed ’em, check out our exclusive on-set interviews with Penn, Michelle, Jessica Szohr and Leighton Meester!)
Mickey in Arizona: I can’t wait to see Hilary Duff on Gossip Girl! When does she start?
Hilary Duff‘s Olivia Burke is introduced in episode four, and she’ll be sticking around for a while.
Bruce in Miami: Is Naomi going to hook up with Rumer Willis’ character on 90210 this season?
If AnnaLynne McCord has any say in it, heck yes! “Maybe Naomi gets a little drunk, maybe she has a little peck on the lips with Rumer. It can’t hurt anybody.” As for N’s overall mean-girl status this season, AnnaLynne promises: “I’m a lot funnier and a lot nicer this year.”

News Roundup: Gossip Girl, 90210 and Dawson’s Creek
1 08 2009- In the August 10 issue of PEOPLE, there’s a picture of Blair (Leighton Meester, Gossip Girl) and Chuck (Ed Westwick, Gossip Girl), as well as Kelly Rutherford (Lily, Gossip Girl), Kellan Lutz (George, 90210), and Rumer Willis (Gia, 9021o).
- The same issue has a quote from Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek) talking about Coachella.
- And, lastly, that issue is the one with the Saved by the Bell cover story featuring an interview with Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210). She doesn’t mention 90210 at all, just shares SBTB memories.
- Enjoyed this part of an interview with Diane Kruger: “She’s also a regular on the fashion circuit, often accompanied by her longtime squeeze, Joshua Jackson, better known to a generation of women as Pacey Witter off Dawson’s Creek. What’s it like living with Pacey, then? ‘You know what, I’ve never seen Dawson’s Creek, because my mum didn’t really let us watch TV,’ she laughs. ‘He couldn’t believe it. He was, like, You’re the perfect girl for me, because you never saw me with pimples.’ Hasn’t he got a box set he could show you? ‘Well, yes, but I’m not sure if I should watch it. It might change my perception of him. When I met him, he’s a man, you know? I’m not sure I want to see his awkward teenage mode.'”
