Chelsea Handler Calls Tori Spelling a Faux Fag Hag
Gay men used to be known for their powers of artistic discernment, granting a priceless cultural imprimatur on the only trends, films, and iconic women who deserved it. No longer! Now, when even a reality show fourth banana like Audrina Patridge can have gays flinging themselves onto the pavement of Santa Monica Blvd. in a desperate attempt to be her new BFF, the standards for gay adoration have reached a watermark so low that it wouldn't even reach the hem of $220 capri pants. Thus it is that Tori Spelling has seen fit to anoint herself as a modern-day gay icon, an honor that E! talk show host Chelsea Handler tells The Advocate is simply canny marketing: -

90210 Stars Remember Sex, Fame and Feuding
Just in time for the CW's revamped 90210 the Times has gathered together simmering drifty-eyed beauty Shannen Doherty and whoever else was on that show with her to discuss the good old days of the incredibly important 1990s soap opera. What do they remember? Well, Aaron Spelling was a classic Hollywood boozehound with the shaggiest shag carpet since 70s porn, and Shannen was a total bitch! Some selections after the jump. More »

'90210' Stars Jennie and Shannen: Ladies Don't Punch, They Scratch
Despite the fact that Jennie Garth is still taunting Shannen Doherty with expertly crafted put-downs, EW was able to wrangle the two 90210 stars for an arm-in-arm photo shoot and revealing Q&A. In it, Doherty reveals that she never really liked Brenda Walsh ("They just took her in a really odd direction that I didn't necessarily agree with at the time") and that she still harbors insecurities begun by the seminal "I Hate Brenda" newsletter. All well and good, but what about the matter everyone still cares about: the long-rumored Doherty/Garth catfights? More » -

If '90210' Won't Bring Lucille Bluth To Us, We'll Bring Lucille Bluth to '90210'
Here at Defamer HQ, we hope we've made our feelings clear on the new 90210 redo: you can give us all the Shannens and Jennies (but not Toris) you want, but the real reason we'll be watching is because of actress Jessica Walter. Cast as the alcohol-addled 90210 matriarch Tabitha, Walter is practically reprising her role as Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development — and until the big-screen AD movie comes, we'll take whatever we can get. Our ongoing crusade for more Walter footage (hereby known as Bluthwatch '08) has thus far fallen on deaf CW ears, and when we saw the network's new Shannen Doherty promo last week, we knew it was time to take matters into our own hands. With the help of Molly McAleer (and Hulu), we've cut together our own 90210 promo touting the show's real icon. Won't you join us in a chicken dance of anticipation? [The CW] More » -

Jennie Garth Totally Loves Tori More Than You Do, Shannen
Though the CW won't be shipping screeners for its upcoming 90210 reboot, fans can make do in the meantime by tracking any one of the show's delicious backstage dramas — and there's no one more eager to serve dish than Jennie Garth. When we last checked in with the erstwhile Kelly Taylor, she was reaching out to longtime friend Tori Spelling the only way she knew how: not by phone, but in the pages of EW. Now, Garth talks to TV Guide about her much-anticipated reunion with former frienemy Shannen Doherty, and in seeking to quell rumors that the two are still on fighting terms, she masterfully twists the knife some more: More » -

'90210' Can't Afford Tori, So It Employs Cory (And The Cobrasnake)
Producers for the new 90210 love to release their casting information in teasing increments: Tori's in! No, she's out — but Shannen's back! Also, there are some other actors on the show, maybe (but still no Lucille Bluth)! Now, though, their latest bit of stunt casting has emerged through a source at Nylon, and the idea reeks of hipster verisimilitude and Pabst Blue Ribbon: More » -

New '90210' Trailer Reveals Brenda, Kelly, Still No Lucille Bluth
After releasing an initial set of publicity photos that were nothing more than a cruel tease, the CW has relented, cutting together a teaser trailer for the new 90210 that finally, finally gives the people what they've been waiting for: Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth, sometimes even in the same frame! While we have to give the network kudos (we figured they'd merely tease the presence of the actresses as though they were the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park), we must again protest the severe lack of screen time for the performer we really want to see: Jessica Walter, who is essentially reprising her soused Lucille Bluth character from Arrested Development. Tell you what, CW: if you guys can promise to release a scene where a withering Walter sniffs at the snacking Jennie Garth and says, "You want your belt to buckle, not your chair," we'll call it even.

Still, if you're keen to see teenaged refugees from Degrassi: The Next Generation and Nip/Tuck (like AnnaLynne McCord, pictured above) party it up at LA hotspots like Boulevard 3, make with the clicking. Just don't say we didn't warn you, Tori. [Yahoo! TV] -

Tori Spelling Quits '90210' Before Learning Valuable Lesson At End of Hour
We'd like to think of the new 90210 reboot as America's answer to the acclaimed Canadian bildungsroman Degrassi: The Next Generation: a teen soap that "goes there" while aged refugees from the original cast cavort in the background and compare faces. Sadly, one of those taut, cheek-implanted visages might be missing from the new 90210 lineup; while Tori Spelling had been negotiating to appear on the show midseason, she's stormed off after learning that producers totally like Brenda and Kelly more.

With Brenda Back And Donna Out, Which '90210' Alums Are Officially Returning To The Peach Pit?
The upcoming remake of Beverly Hills: 90210 is continuing the process of putting its out-of-work alumni back in business. Spurned by producers for just being her normal bratty self back in 1994, Shannen Doherty is reportedly in talks to join Jennie Garth and return the characters that launched each of them into the zeitgeist back in the early `90s. But despite Shannen and Jennie's overenthusiastic acknowledgment that they’ve got nothing better to do, not every cast member is so eager to pull the trigger and willingly euthanize their own careers. Which stars are only contributing to the remake in off-screen roles, and which are phoning in Hell Nos from Italy as they shoot far more important Hallmark Channel movies, after the jump. More » -

Rising Disney Star Eyes Miley Cyrus' Tweenybop Throne, Earns Spot On All-Time Best Teen Feuds List
After a bumpy spring protecting and investing their billion dollar baby Miley Cyrus, today brings news that there may be additional troubles brewing over at the Mouse House. 15-year old Selena Gomez, the rising star of the newest Disney series Wizards Of Waverly Place, whose elevator pitch was most likely "Gossip Girl Meets Harry Potter Meets Charmed But Like, Happy!," is reportedly usurping the scandal-plagued Cyrus' dimming star power. Quietly crowned “The Next Miley Cyrus” by various newsies, the Miley lookalike (minus gummy smile, plus premature Jolie-level hotness) plays Alex, whose painfully ironic mantra is "cast magic first, ask questions later." But the turbulence among competing teens trying to catch their big break by stepping over their peers left and right is a trend as old as the Mousketeers’ first dimpled disciples. After the jump, we count down our top three favorite teen feuds of yesteryear. More » -

The Sisterhood of the Chronic Oversharers
When she sees a fellow media punching bag in distress, Julia Allison will rush to defend them. The dating columnist and fake Star magazine editor, so criticized by nasty blog commenters for being talentless and and fame-whoring, was on the E! show Chelsea Lately last night, discussing, among other things, Tori Spelling. Spelling, an "actress" who is only "famous" because of some random bits of luck (daddy was a zillionaire TV producer), is often under attack, also from nasty blog commenters, for her lack of talent, her fame-grubbing, and, yes, her looks. Chelsea Lately host Chelsea Handler and another panel guest piled on in typical fashion, but Julia, seeing her quasi-celebrity sister in trouble, tried to rescue poor Tori by saying something about how she liked her recent book, sTORItelling. Julia said she read it on the plane on the way to LA and found it quite funny. (Though, um, update! Does that mean Julia Allison can read in her sleep??) She also defended, sort of, Spelling's looks by sputtering "she's apparently really cute in person!" Clip is above.

Newest Additions to '90210' Spinoff Finally Spark Our Interest
When we first heard the idea of a reimagined Beverly Hills: 90210, we believed it would be impossible to recreate the teary, teenybop magic of the original series. Who could possibly sneer like Luke Perry? Or turn the world on with his smile like Jason Priestley? But the Rob "Not Matchbox 20 Rob" Thomas-produced spinoff slated for CW's upcoming fall season is charging full-speed ahead, leaking news of potential cast members burdened with the challenge of filling our favorite Peach Pit regulars' Reeboks. Though recent casting announcements have been less than thrilling, two new additions have us busting out our dusty 90210 drinking game rule book once again. As E! News reports, "Producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary [Duff] to offer her a starring role in the series." News on the other confirmed West Beverly students, plus which alum from the original has signed on to reprise their old role, after the jump. More » -

Tori Spelling Steps Into Pregnancy Photo Spread Spotlight, Minus Glossy Magazine Covers And Public Interest
Major names like Britney Spears and Demi Moore have memorably posed for controversial pregnancy pictures in the past, but something tells us Tori Spelling's decision to bare her knocked up belly won't stir up quite as many arguments. It's pretty simple: we don't want. While shooting her (yes, it still exists) B&B reality show with hubby Dean McDermott, the unlucky quasi-heiress made a sad attempt to imitate Demi's Annie Leibowitz shoot for Vanity Fair and Britney's uber-styled photos in Harper's Bazaar. Unfortunately, the results look more like what you'd expect from your local mall photographer as opposed to the star treatment given to glossy cover-worthy celebrities of yore. A closer look, plus Tori's explanation of why she's Loving! Her! Body! after the jump. More » -

Tori Spelling Will Work For Lunch At The Peach Pit
News that The CW would be shooting the pilot for a Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff was undoubtedly met with conflicted feelings by the sporadically employed cast of the original series, even going so far as to cause Ian Ziering to wake up repeatedly in cold night sweats, shouting into the darkness, "But will they remain true to the original show's vision of eight best friends who pledge over countless lunches at The Peach Pit to remain together, through thick and thin, whatever life throws at them?!"

The Return of Donna Martin?
Tori Spelling, a piece of plastic that someone carelessly left on the radiator, has announced that she would like to be a part of the planned Beverly Hills: 90210 remake. Spelling was a member of the original cast (and one of a few that stayed until the bitter, bitter end) as a part of take your daughter to work decade, so she believes her involvement would make her late father, who produced the original version, very proud. Probably true! But don't go and cast her as a mother or anything: "[I'm] obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character's young stepmom," she says. Yes that could work. Or, "playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America's most infamous virgin." Even better! I support this Tori, I really do. [Showbiz Spy] If you know me at all, you know exactly what awaits you after the jump. More »

Blow-Up Tori And Sarah Jessica Dolls Will Love You Unconditionally Until You Pop Them
With Sex and the City: The Movie inching ever closer to its May 30th release date (will Carrie and Big end up together? No don't tell us—we don't want to know! Hurts so good!), and today's announcement of a Beverly Hills 90210 primetime reimagining, we're certain more than a few of you have some Sarah Jessica Parker and Tori Spelling on the brain. Sadly, both women are currently taken, and idling outside their homes in a red '84 Ford Tempo with tinted windows in the hopes of winning some much-needed face time with your TV idols is largely frowned upon by the authorities. (Just trust us on that one.) That's where Pipedream Products' celebrity blow-up dolls come in handy, offering easy-to-inflate, polyurethane likenesses of some of your favorite stars. More »
