Shannen Doherty could be returning to 90210.

Multiple sources have confirmed to an Entertainment Weekly columnist that the controversial star, 37, has met with producers to reprise her role as Brenda Walsh on CW's 90210 spin-off.

In addition to wanting more money, "she wants to know what the story is going to be," according to the report.

Nearly 300,000 people voted to bring Doherty back in a recent Usmagazine.com poll.

Doherty's casting could raise some eyebrows considering that she clashed with original 90210 co-stars Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, who have both signed on to return.

In her 2007 memoir So NoTORIous, Spelling wrote of Doherty and Garth: "Sometimes they got along, but there were explosions. Once they got into a fistfight."

Garth now tells EW, "A lot of time has passed, and I'm a big girl. I'd have no problem with her coming on the show."

The CW's spin-off debuts this fall.

Jennie Garth Reprising 90210 Role in Spinoff?

justingirl1989 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:11:38 -0700

All set to play the role of the ex-wife in My Best Friend’s Girl, a new CBS pilot, Jennie Garth has abruptly left the project - giving rise to speculation that she’ll instead head back into her Kelly Taylor Beverly Hills, 90210 guise for the spinoff under development for the CW network, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Garth, 36, also has been dealing with the loss of her father, who died after she landed the role in My Best Friend’s Girl. She’ll be replaced by Canadian actress Kristin Booth.

As for 90210, the trade paper says the Taylor character could conceivably return to her alma mater as a teacher of fashion design - a long leap for the one-time spoiled brat of the old series. – Stephen M. Silverman

EXCLUSIVE: Hilary Duff on Joining 90210 Spin-Off: "It's Not True"

justingirl1989 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:13:29 -0700

Hilary Duff isn't 90210-bound after all.

Last week, reports surfaced that the singer has been offered a part on the upcoming CW spin-off.

But when asked by Usmagazine.com about the possible gig Monday at a junket for her action film War, Inc., she said, "No, it's not true."

The show has landed another famous face, though.

Full House alum Lori Loughlin has signed on, a CW rep announced Monday.

She's been cast as Celia Mills, a former Olympic medalist and mother to central teens Annie and Dixon.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, writer Rob Thomas has also been looking to potentially recruit Jennie Garth to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor

Tiffani Thiessen: Yes to Babies, No to 90210 Spinoff

justingirl1989 — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:18:25 -0700

Tiffani Thiessen says she's not likely to be involved in the new Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff – but she has another project in mind.

"We're hoping to get pregnant soon," Thiessen, 34, told PEOPLE Saturday at the Indy 500 warm-up party celebrating the Rubicon Race Team at pal Jason Priestley's house.

The actress, who wed actor-artist Brady Smith in 2005, says she and her husband are "in talks" about having a child. "We're very seriously talking about it."

For Thiessen, it seems like the right time to expand her family. "We've been married for almost three years, so it's time," she said. "We wanted to be selfish with each other for a little while. We didn't want to rush into it, but now we're really, really wanting that."

As for her timeframe, "Hopefully, within the year – maybe even sooner than that," she said.

Asked if maybe she was already expecting, she laughed and replied, "No, I would tell you! I think it's the pre-glow of wanting it to happen."

In terms of the new 90210, Thiessen says she won't be doing any guest appearances. "I wish them all the best, but it's not something I will be a part of."

Jennie Garth covers Cookie mag with her daughters

kty — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:37:29 -0700

Jennie Garth likes to be lazy. She describes herself as a "homebody" who lucked into her 20-year acting career, calling it a "right place, right time" kind of thing. And when she reads a profile of a fellow celebrity mom, she feels largely inadequate: "I think, This lady has all of this time to do amazing stuff. She has this amazing marriage. Everything in her life sounds perfect. My life is not like that." For starters, her memory is shot. "It's almost like I have some kind of disorder-I don't remember the good things ... or the bad," she laughs.
And if the 37-year-old mother of three-Luca, 12; Lola, 6; and Fiona, 3-has a moment to herself, she spends it scrubbing. "I really enjoy taking something, digging in, and cleaning it," she says. "It's weird, but it gives me sanity." Given all this information, it's possible to come to only one conclusion: Jennie Garth is awesome.
You've got to hand it to her. Her insistence that she's as average-slash-nuts as the rest of us is impressive, even if it's not entirely believable. But a mom who's this comfortable admitting her flaws-who's also famous? That's as rare as a rainy day in Beverly Hills.
Of course, that's where Garth first made her mark as Kelly Taylor, the sweetheart of the zip code on Fox's '90s hit teen drama Beverly Hills 90210. Fans of the show (yes, you) may remember that Kelly didn't start out so lovable. At first her character was shallow, fashion-obsessed, and a bit mean. Only someone as inherently likable as Garth, who grew up riding horses and a banana-seat bike around in the "middle of nowhere" in rural Illinois, could have made anyone care about a spoiled blonde in L.A.
Now, after a 10-year turn on the original show, a stint on the WB sitcom What I Like About You, a string of TV movies (many of which she produced), and an impressive fourth-place showing on Dancing with the Stars (she competed when Fiona was still an infant), she's reprising the role that made her famous. On the CW's 90210 sequel, Kelly Taylor is now a guidance counselor at her high school alma mater. There's a new crew of actors on the spinoff, all hot young things struggling with the too-thin-too-famous-too-soon trials of stardom. The under-30 set may not see it this way, but by comparison, Garth appears all the more serene and appealing.
"I had my share of screwups, but they weren't memorialized for all to see," she says. "I got off lucky. I see the girls on the show now, and I think, Enjoy it while you can, because this time is very fleeting. I had maybe three years to be free, completely oblivious, and self-indulgent. Then I had a child really young and a lot of responsibility."
Twelve years ago, when Garth, then 25, had Luca (with her then-boyfriend, actor Peter Facinelli, who is now her husband), no breathless "bump watchers" tracked the reproductive lives of young Hollywood, and there were no star-baby bloggers to gurgle and coo. The only people paying attention had a different agenda.
"There weren't many actresses willing to have kids, because they thought it would jeopardize their career or their desirability," Garth says. "There was an actress on an Aaron Spelling soap opera who got sued for getting pregnant. I got pregnant right after her, while I was on an Aaron Spelling show. But I knew he'd be supportive; [90210 was such a hit] he couldn't be anything but."
"When you're a full-time mom and you work a few days here and there, it's hard to pace yourself," she says. "I want to know what my kids are eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to know how much activity they've had in a day. It's difficult to keep it all in order."
It's also difficult to discipline three girls who span 12 years in age. "I had to give my 6-year-old four time-outs two days ago," Garth recalls. "She kept hitting. I don't spank, though sometimes I think, These time-outs aren't working! What's next?" For now, she's sticking with "consistency, and not making idle threats. They have to know there are consequences for violence, name-calling, and not doing household chores. They're all in such different places, but all those places require boundaries."
Somehow Garth manages to be in three mind-sets (and, seemingly, places) at once. This year, the girls are in three different schools, and she's playing chauffeur. "We're always together, maybe to a fault!" she laughs. "We like to be together, I think more than most child psychologists or even my mother would say is healthy. But there will come a time when they don't want to be with me, so I'm reveling in it now."
Garth's biggest challenge these days is finding time to be with Facinelli, 35, who's busy with roles in the Twilight movies (creepy vampire-surgeon Carlisle Cullen) and the Showtime series Nurse Jackie (creepy ER doctor Fitch Cooper). During his downtime, Facinelli is an active dad, shuttling his girls to bowling alleys and ballgames. "He works like crazy," says Garth. "But when he's home and present, it's great." And as rough as his schedule has been on the family, "it's good for him, because it's what he's always wanted," she says. "[Early on,] all I wanted to do was work. Now all I want to do is not work. I've passed that stage of my life. I have to respect that we're at different places. Hopefully it'll balance out."
Until then, it appears that the Garth-Facinelli women are content to revel in their girl time, creating memories together that are impossible-even given Mom's shot memory-to forget.
