Tori & Dean: Reality TV Royalty

Posted by Melissa Trebus Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip

Tori and Dean

Last Tuesday night was a night that I had been anticipating for nine months, the season premiere of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood on Oxygen. I can honestly say that I feel like I have known my whole life. I grew up with Donna Martin on 90210. I even thought she was hilarious as Violet on Saved By the Bell. Though I didn’t love So NoTORIous, I didn’t hate it either. She is just so… real. Last week’s season premiere episode caught us up on the lives of the McDermotts in 2009.

Little Liam is about to turn 2. Stella, the baby, is doing all the typical baby things. They have moved to yet another house. Dean is filming a television movie, and Tori is involved in about 720,000 projects, as usual. Something that is so great about this show is watching them struggle with things that normal, non-television, families deal with such as: Tori wanting to be a stay-at-home mom, but not having enough money; Dean wishing they could get their pre-parenting sex life back; and Liam being jealous of his new sister. This season promises us the drama of a motorcycle accident, a new book, an appearance on the new , Tori dealing with Dean’s on-screen romance, and of course some drama with Tori’s infamous mother Candy.

Make sure you set your DVR for Tuesday nights, you can’t miss even one episode! While you are lying by the pool, check out Tori’s new book, Mommywood. I give it 4 stars!!!

90210 Goes to the Prom

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video


The first season of , the CW’s surprising success story, is coming to a close. In the final two episodes of the season, the entire cast will carouse at the West Beverly Hills High School Prom. This is not an unfamiliar first-season concept in the world of Beverly Hills serialized TV. In fact, the original Beverly Hills, 90210 ended with a similar event.

In the original inception of the series, the Bev Hills kids gathered near the end of the season for the Spring Dance, a very formal affair where they experimented with alcohol, dating new people and sex. Is it possible that the prom event that will wrap up the new 90210’s first season could be every bit as juicy? Follow the jump to view a video that’s filled with not-yet-aired scenes that most of the world won’t see until they tune into to 90210 tonight:

Tori Spelling Returns to 90210

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video


Tori Spelling returned to the to film new episodes which will begin airing as early as next week. All these years later, and Aaron Spelling’s daughter found herself again acting opposite Jennie Garth - and on the same show where they first met, no less.

“At first, I was really nervous,” said in a recent interview with ET, when asked about returning to work on the show. “It was like being the new kid at school.” But, Tori added, she soon remembered what it felt like to be Donna Martin.

Rumor has it that Spelling refused to work with fellow Beverly Hills alum , but apparently there’s no bad blood between her and Jennie Garth. “I thank my stars for her. She’s so much fun,” Garth said of working again with Spelling.

Tori’s first episode airs next Tuesday on the CW at 9 pm ET.

90210: Silver Loses Control

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Spoilers


After multiple weeks on hiatus, returned to TV last night with an all new episode that started bringing several stories to a head. Annie and Ethan broke up; Naomi and Liam started something new. And Silver…well, she’s gone completely insane.

Yeah, the show is getting pretty good.

Erin Silver, played wonderfully by , is actually one of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 characters. She was born during the third season of the series, daughter of Kelly Taylor’s mother and David Silver’s father (they were married for a spell). She’s also been part of the main 90210 cast since the pilot episode of the series. Silver began to feature more prominently in the series when she started having a relationship with Dixon. But now, the character seems to be heading toward a whole new story arc.

90210

The buzz around ’s second season has already begun, and fans of the show are in for a ride. Expect to see “significant” changes…even involving the main cast.

Dustin Milligan, the actor behind the hot jock character Ethan, is no longer part of that main cast. His contract isn’t being renewed, though Milligan may make another handful of appearances to wrap up or move along certain story lines.

Interestingly, Matt Lanter (who plays newcomer Liam) will be bumped up to regular cast member in the second season. New episodes of 90210‘s first season, still in progression, will return this Tuesday night after several weeks on hiatus. The first new installment will feature both Liam and Ethan in an episode that will advance both their stories.

Melrose Place Remake News

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip

Melrose PlaceMark Schwan, noted producer of One Tree Hill, is no longer attached to the remake. Does this mean the whole project is off?

Dawn Ostroff, president of entertainment for CW, is “in negotiations” with a mysterious someone who’s name has not been released. If all goes well, however, the new Melrose Place could be on TV as early as next fall.

I Confess: I Love Old Teen Idols

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Rumors, Video


I usually shy away from reality projects featuring Scott Baio (not falling for that one again), but I just may have to make an exception for VH1. The network will soon be premiering its brand-new Confessions of a Teen Idol, which features seven former hotties who all share the same mission: grab the brass ring.

You know, again.

They each had their shot at fame and some even spent a little time at the top. But Hollywood is capricious, and soon enough all of these men found themselves on the swift path to being has-beens. But VH1 - and apparently, - thinks they could be shining stars once more. Or at the very least, reality stars. Here’s the funniest part: Baio is part host, part mentor to these would-be famous-again celebs.

I know, it’s a total riot.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, The CW, Gossip

Grant ShowIn a recent interview with TV Guide, former Melrose Placer Grant Show talked about the possibility of returning for the planned spin-off.

The success of 90210 has unleashed a lot of speculation and a ton of hope. If one show can be recycled and find success, why not another? Now, it seems (the slick show which was once featured in a two-hour programming block with Beverly Hills, 90210) will soon make its triumphant return to TV. But…that doesn’t mean the cast members will do the same. See what Show had to say about the series after the jump.
