- The CW had an event today, similar to the upfront, for the TCA (Television Critics Association), a somewhat-selective organization of television journalists. CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff spoke and took questions before separate panels for Nikita, Hellcats and Gossip Girl.
- The Futon Critic is reporting that Ostroff confirmed One Tree Hill has been given a full-season order for the upcoming season, but, as of this moment, I am not seeing other outlets reporting that.
- Ostroff told Star News last night that OTH could be renewed after season 8, which Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) thinks is “fishy.” Today Ostroff said that it was too soon to discuss whether this is the final season.
- Ostroff also said there WASN’T an alternate ending for OTH last season, in case the show wasn’t renewed. (Something I maintained all along, if you recall.)
- Ostroff reiterated that the morning-after Nielsen ratings are not the only factor that is important to them when evaluating a show’s success (hence the renewals of Gossip Girl, 90210, etc.). TVByTheNumbers.com has an interesting piece reacting to this.
- For more on the session with Ostroff, check out these live-blogs and recaps.
- The Gossip Girl panel featured Ed Westwick (Chuck), Josh Schwartz (executive producer), Stephanie Savage (executive producer) and Joshua Safran (executive producer).
- A preview of season 4 was shown and some spoilers were divulged. Taylor Momsen (Jenny) will be back (something else I’ve maintained all along), and the producers admitted that they have an idea of how the show will eventually end but said it’s a long time off.
- For more on the Gossip Girl panel, check out these live-blogs and recaps. (Warning: spoilers included.)
- Korbi has a spoiler-filled Q & A with Schwartz and Savage.
- Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl) was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night.
- Crawford spoke with MTV about Juliet (Katie Cassidy, Gossip Girl) and GG shooting in Paris, which he did not partake in.
- AfterElton spoke with Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210), Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) and Matt Lanter (Liam, 90210) individually about the possibility that one of their characters will be the one that comes out this season. Interestingly enough, they each give contradictory stories on how everyone found out about the storyline.
- Crushable’s interview with Lanter on the same topic is a bit contradictory, too, as he says he knows which character it is, but the above interviews seem to suggest they don’t know who it is, if I’m reading this all correctly. Oh, and there’s totally Lannie spoilers in that interview.
- AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) spoke to Us Weekly about Kim and Khloe Kardashian’s guest appearance.
- Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210) performed a powerful monologue by Eve Ensler for MTV.
- Rachel Bilson (Summer, The O.C.) will reprise her How I Met Your Mother role.
- Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek) hilariously spoke with MTV about Pacey-Con. LOL at the Jen-Con comment. I’m sure the reunion thing, though, will end up being blown way out of proportion by the media.
News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and 90210
11 05 2010- Last night’s One Tree Hill (2.1 million rounded up) and Gossip Girl (1.8 million rounded up) both rose a tiny bit in the ratings compared to last week, though Gossip Girl’s raise was teeny tiny.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, 90210 and The O.C.
16 02 2010- Articles on The CW’s renewals and the remaining shows: E! Online, EW.com, NYTimes.com, Star News, TVByTheNumbers.com (and a second one).
- Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
- Several teen drama stars are featured in an MTV.com blog post on New York Fashion Week. Examiner.com’s article focuses on Shantel VanSanten (Quinn, One Tree Hill) but shows a picture of her at NYFW with other teen drama stars.
- The final ratings for last night’s One Tree Hill haven’t been released yet due to the holiday yesterday. I rather wait for those than post numbers that are almost guaranteed to change.
- A local Wilmington news station has a piece on the effect on the town (city?) if One Tree Hill ends this season.
- Cinema Blend has an interview with Bryan Greenberg (Jake, One Tree Hill).
- There will be a Gossip Girl-inspired clothing line launched in the UK in April. A U.S.-based GG clothing line launched in September.
- Matthew Settle (Rufus, Gossip Girl) has reportedly separated from his wife.
- Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) is in the newest 90210 trailer. Like I’ve said, I believe she’s in at least one more episode.
- Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) has written a children’s book, which will be released in September. Her third memoir, uncharted terriTORI, will be published in June.
- Turns out Daniel Cosgrove (Matt, Beverly Hills 90210) won’t be appearing on Brothers & Sisters after all.
- McG (executive producer, The O.C.) is working on a screen adaptation of Spring Awakening. I think I knew about this via rumors but this may be the first time I’m seeing it confirmed with him talking about it. If you recall, SA (which I love and saw twice, BTW) was sort of adapted for use on 90210 last season.

- Dawn Ostroff, head of The CW, said remaking 90210 was “an experiment.”

- I really like this picture of some of the 90210 cast.
- Starpulse has an interview with Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210).
- Rumer Willis (Gia, 90210) says she doesn’t know how many episodes she’ll be in.
