On Hating Brenda


So many things to say about this 1993 MTV News report on Shannen Doherty and the phenomenon of the “I Hate Brenda Newsletter,” a little zine published about how much “Beverly Hills, 90210″‘s Brenda Walsh and Doherty sucked. For one, Shannen Doherty wanted to start a grunge band called Uncle Velvet? Why is John Corbett there? Also, I love one dude’s assertion that Shannen Doherty is growing her bangs out because she’s simply too lazy to pluck her eyebrows. So much vitriol! But I mean, really, Brenda kind of was the worst.

You Could Have Donna And Kelly’s “Beverly Hills, 90210″ Beach Apartment

From freshman year on, Donna Martin and Kelly Taylor of “Beverly Hills, 90210” called their Venice Beach apartment, with its white decks and blue awnings, home. But apparently, the abode whose exterior we saw so often wasn’t actually an apartment building—it’s a single family house. Oh, and it also isn’t in Venice Beach—it’s actually located in Hermosa Beach. Did I mention that the house is for sale and could be yours for $9 million? Come on—this is the place where Kelly brought Tara to stay after they checked out of rehab. Not to mention where Donna finally lost her virginity to David. I mean, this place deserves historical landmark status. Any takers? [People] Keep reading »

Jason Priestley And Luke Perry, Together Again


Earlier this week, Jason Priestley and Luke Perry—aka Brandon Walsh and Dylan McKay of “Beverly Hills, 90210“—sat down with George Lopez. The two have teamed up for the first time in years for a Hallmark Movie Channel flick called “Goodnight for Justice,” in which Luke stars and Jason directs. But of course the two had to talk about life in America’s most famous zip code. “Back then, it wasn’t about poking people on Facebook,” said Jason. “You just had to poke them for real,” replies Luke.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Channels Classic “90210″-Style

When I saw the dress Jennifer Love Hewitt chose for this past weekend’s Art of Elysium event in Hollywood, I felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. What does this atrocious gown remind me of? And then it hit me — it’s like a modern version of the dress both Kelly and Brenda wore (scandal!) to the spring formal on “Beverly Hills, 90210″! I love that my favorite TV show of all time — which I still watch in reruns on Soap Net every single day — continues to have a lasting impact on the world. Keep reading »

Happy 9/02/10 Day: Brandon Walsh, Man Whore

“Beverly Hills, 90210″‘s resident goody-two-shoes, Brandon Walsh, was actually the the show’s biggest man whore, especially during the show’s initial few seasons before he got sucked into the vortex known as Kelly Taylor. Tricia, the ice skater! Brooke, the racist! Lucinda, the married women’s studies professor! Nikki, the chick who has an abusive ex-boyfriend named Diesel! Tracy and Susan, practically interchangeable! And, of course, Emily F**king Valentine. Keep reading »
