News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, Gossip Girl, Dawson’s Creek and More

10 09 2009
  • I have decided that future Trivia Nights will only be held on Mondays and Tuesdays *when the episodes are repeats.*  If there’s a new episode, there won’t be trivia.  If it’s a repeat, I’ll host trivia.  This seemed like the most fair and least-stressful way to do it.  During long hiatuses, however, such as the summer off-season, we will go back to weekly games.  I will always post about a Trivia Night the morning of, so keep your eyes peeled, and I’ll give a heads-up in advance whenever possible.
  • Check out Mark Schwahn’s preview of One Tree Hill’s season premiere.
  • Taylor Momsen (Jenny, Gossip Girl) and her band Pretty Reckless played a show in New York tonight as part of Fashion’s Night Out.
  • Much of the Gossip Girl cast attended a party yesterday to celebrate the upcoming launch of the new GG-inspired clothing line.
  • PEOPLE.com has a photo gallery of Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) and her family.
  • Candy Spelling, Tori’s mother, wrote me that she liked my interview with Randy (her son and Tori’s brother).
  • Korbi has a video interview with Ryan Eggold (Ryan, 90210).
  • Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek) is on the cover of  the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. (Coincidentally, he was also on the cover this week back in 1998–more on that tomorrow).  He says his show Fringe “has been the total opposite of my Dawson’s Creek experience.”
  • The Vampire Diaries is being described as “Twlight for the 90210 and Dawson’s Creek crowd” and an “updated Dawson’s Creek with fangs.” There’s more comparisons here.
  • I thought this was a funny observation from Obama’s press conference last night: “The reaction to Obama on the part of some of his partisan foes is now making Bush derangement syndrome look like a hot and heavy Dawson’s Creek romance.”
  • Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.) has a new post on her blog–her first one since July.
  • TVGuide.com has an interview with Jeri Ryan (Charlotte, The O.C.) on her role in Leverage.

Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

10 09 2009

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

Question: Can you do me a huge favor and give me some Gossip Girl scoop pertaining to Blair-Serena? I’m dying to know if my favorite frenemies will be loving or hating each other this season. —Sally
Ausiello: They’ll start out loving each other, but by November, the hate is on! What triggers the war? Let’s just say Blair doesn’t follow the bros before hos belief system (or, in this case, hos before bros).

Question: Did I miss your annual list of what to watch and what to avoid among new shows this fall? I learned long ago that if you love a show, I’ll probably love it. And if you hate it, I’ll probably hate it, too. —Melissa
Ausiello: Nope, you didn’t miss it. I decided to publish it a little later than usual to maximize creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best list possible. I think you’ll agree it was worth the wait:

Take It: Modern Family, Melrose Place, The Good Wife, Community, Cougar Town, FlashForward, V, and The Vampire Diaries.
Take It or Leave It: Bored to Death, Accidentally on Purpose, Trauma, The Beautiful Life, and The Middle.
Leave It: Mercy, Brothers, and Hank.

Question: Will Naomi ever find out that Annie was not the one who slept with Liam on the night of the prom on 90210? —Gia
Ausiello: Yes, but not until later in the season. In other 90210 news, California University makes a comeback in episode 5 when Naomi starts planning for life after high school. And by planning I mean seducing the dean’s tree-hugging son (played by The O.C.’s Jonathan Trent).

***

Melrose Place stars Laura Leighton (Sophie, Beverly Hills 90210).

Cougar Town stars Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek).

The Vampire Diaries was created by Kevin Williamson (creator, Dawson’s Creek).

The Beautiful Life stars Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.)

Mercy stars Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina, Gossip Girl).

Jonathon Trent (with two Os, not an A) is hardly from The O.C. He played Kyle in 3 episodes.  I don’t even remember him.
