As the weather outside starts to get frightful, evenings parked in front of the TV are sounding more and more appealing. What will I be watching this week? The World freaking Series! But do not fear, even if you aren’t into baseball, there’s lots of exciting stuff happening this week: Samantha Ronson‘s cameo on “90210”; the premiere of “V,” which is being hailed as the new “Lost”; a new episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County”; and, sigh, the season finale of “Mad Men.”
She’s not just a tough bitch on “90210,” AnnaLynne is woman enough to wear white pants after Labor Day for a TV appearance no less. Here she is leaving “Live With Regis and Kelly” in a pair of sheet white skinny jeans and sandals, giving the middle finger to fall. If you listen closely, you can you hear Anna Wintour gasping. Oh the horror!
AnnaLynne McCord, Naomi Clark on “90210,” may be cast in “New Moon,” the “Twilight” sequel. Filmmakers are considering her for Heidi, a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to consume. McCord’s “90210” co-star Kellan Lutz will reprise his Emmett Cullen role, as well. Too bad Heidi and Emmett don’t have any romantic scenes together. Maybe then we’d know definitively whether McCord and Lutz are dating. Dakota Fanning is in talks to play Jane, a member of the Volturi family. Unlike McCord, Fanning didn’t even have to audition. [E! Online]
“90210” star AnnaLynne McCord either got a major haircut and dye-job, or she’s wearing a major wig. Annika thinks she copped “90210” character Silver’s look, though I must say it’s pretty close to Adrianna’s hairstyle, too. [Miami, 12/31/2008]
Is it just us, or is this outfit so Donna Martin circa 1996, when she starred in that music video in the episode entitled “Strike The Match” and was dressed all skanky? [Hollywood, 10/29/08]
I first noticed Tristan Wilds when he starred in “The Wire” as Michael Lee. He was one cold-blooded drug dealer and killer on the hit HBO show, but he also had a soft spot for his younger brother and friend Dookie. Most recently, Tristan has been showing more of his soft side and sexy side on “90210.” I can’t wait to catch him as Zach Taylor in “The Secret Life of Bees,” a Civil Rights era film based on the novel of the same name. And now that I know he has a really great voice, I’m really excited to hear his debut album, which he is currently working on. Talented, sexy, smart and musical…I think I’m in love!
Do you ever feel old while watching movies like “Mean Girls” or shows like “Gossip Girl” and “90210” because you’re completely out of the characters’ age range? Sometimes I do. I think to myself, “Why is this stuff so entertaining to me? I don’t have these issues anymore. Am I losing precious brain cells by watching fluff?” Well now we can enjoy bitchy entertainment without remembering our age, thanks to a little movie called “Bride Wars.”
As much as I love Don Draper and Dexter and Hank Moody, I’m always happy to have some new eye candy to gaze upon during my nightly TV ritual. The Fall TV schedule brings a plethora of new faces to the small screen on brand spankin’ new shows that either rule for more than just the hotness (like Fox’s “Fringe”) or are just worth a quick glance (um, “Knight Rider”). After the jump, 10 new-to-TV actors that you won’t want to miss.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the new 90210 is going to rip off certain aspects of story lines from the old Beverly Hills, 90210. On last night’s episode there were two such instances that were straight up nods to the old Nine-Oh. Read on…
So, I totally HATED the new 90210. [Sigh. We can’t agree on everything!—Editor] Ugh, don’t get me started on the stupid script that just seemed like a combo of every teen genre hit from High School Musical to Gossip Girl. But even sadder than the lighting on Shannen Doherty is the fact that this makes Tori Spelling the smart one for quitting this train wreck. But alas, there’s a light at the end of that dark, dark two hour season premiere special, and that shining star is Ryan Eggold. The West Bev High English teach is sexy, clever, and actually making his lines believable—all that and puppy dog blue eyes makes me hot for teacher! Unlike the totally disposable plot, I can’t get this studly smartypants out of my head. Good news for me (and my best friend Megs), he might be 24 in real life, but he likes the older ladies. When he’s done with Kelly in a couple episodes, we’ll be waiting to fight over him. For now, we hope the producers find a reason to get him to take off his shirt.
