Shenae Grimes on Being "The New Brenda" (or Not) on 90210
One week from today, we'll get to see what this updated 90210 is really all about. For some more hints, I spent some time at the TCA press tour chatting with star Shenae Grimes — who previously played Darcy Edwards on Degrassi: The Next Generation — about her role as Annie Wilson, the new girl in the hottest zip code around. Here are highlights:
Did you ever watch the original 90210?
Tristan Wilds on Moving From Baltimore to Beverly Hills
One of the biggest reasons I'm excited for the new 90210 is the casting of Tristan Wilds. For two seasons on The Wire, Wilds played Michael, a tough and complex kid from the Baltimore streets. It was an incredibly nuanced performance from someone so young, one that had me hanging on his every word.
Joe E. Tata Kisses and Tells How He Came to the New 90210
I'm just gonna come right out and say this: Joe E. Tata, aka Nat from the Peach Pit on 90210, kissed me. Twice.
90210 + Freaks and Geeks: A Match Made in Heaven?
At first glance, Freaks and Geeks and 90210 wouldn't appear to have a lot in common. One was a hyper-realistic drama that told quiet stories about high school life and was canceled after a handful of episodes. The other was a massively popular soap that looked at teenage years through a glamorous lens.
Ready or Not, Here Stylista Comes . . .
If you haven't already, be sure to watch the first look at Stylista, a new reality show by the CW network debuting Oct. 29. According to the creators, if The Devil Wears Prada were a reality show, it would be Stylista.
Fab Blab: A Gossip Girl Talks Posen and Shoulder Pads
The stars continue to mingle in sunny LA for the Summer TCAs. Our favorite Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, gave Pop some perspective on how things have changed over the past year, and we got some profound insight into the fabulous Zac Posen dress she was wearing.
Profound, as in, some profound shoulder love.
CW and NBC Take TCAs Through the Weekend
The fun rolled on this weekend at the TCAs! After the panels on Saturday and Sunday, came last night's big party. The crowd included old favorites from The Office, new all-stars like the cast of Kath and Kim, and a few select Heroes, including Hayden and Milo, who kept their distance.
TCA Tidbits: Bluths, The Ex List, Showtime Series, and More!
Wow, that was one whirlwind weekend here at the TCA press tour. CBS, Showtime, The CW, and NBC's cable networks have all been on stage, plus the Television Critics Association took a break from the panels to deliver some honors of its own. I've heard lots about the new 90210, been bowled over by the hilarity of The Ex List's showrunner, and heard references to The Wire and Arrested Development — in the same session!
How Gossip Girls, 90210ers and Weeds All Met
The TCA fun continued with the CW, Showtime and CBS stars kicking things off on Friday night at Boulevard 3. After hearing the exciting news that Shannen Doherty is returning to 90210, the new cast members kept things young and fresh posing together for the cameras. Emmy nominee Neil Patrick Harris is always a treat to spot, while Mary-Louise Parker spent the night close to her Weeds costar Justin Kirk in her cabana — possibly in an attempt to avoid an awkward run-in with her ex.
It's Official: Brenda's Back!
We haven't yet seen the last of Brenda Walsh. At the TCA press tour this morning, 90210 producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah confirmed that Shannen Doherty has a deal to return to the show as Brenda.
"She'll be the guest director of our musical," Sachs said — which several of the cast members seemed to think was a joke at first.
