The show has been trying to gather all of the original cast together for some time now.

So far, they've managed to score Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty. And now it looks like Doherty's one-screen brother, Jason Priestly, is set to return as well. Well, kind of.

Priestley will remain behind the camera as a director, not too unlike the role he eventually took on in the original series.

Will Priestley end up directing Doherty?

Executive producer Gabe Sachs said it "would be a kick for Jason to work with any of his [former 90210 costars], and it would also add something special to that episode. But we don't know whether that will happen yet."

More likely Priestley will be directing Garth, who is slated to return for even more episodes, despite rumors otherwise.

Now they just gotta hook Tori Spelling and Luke Perry. Some BAG would be good too!

Kate Beckinsale looked lovely!

Nicolette Sheridan in a tasteful little black dress.

 Jennifer Lopez with a disappointing look for her.  The hair and the dress just looks too demure and elderly for such a DIVA!

Leah Remini was there.

Courteney Cox was there!

Sheryl Crow attended. 

Nicole Kidman was there. 

Isla Fisher looked very good.  All these new mommy's don't look like they recently gave birth at all.

Wow!  Sigourney Weaver...haven't seen her in forever, she looks good.

 Jennie McCarthy- don't know how I feel about the dress, but her face looks pretty!

Anne Hathaway looked fabulous!

A Howling Victory for Wolves
Wolf supporters are celebrating the September 23 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to toss out its own gray wolf delisting rule in the Northern Rockies and go back to the drawing board. Wolves were removed from the Endangered Species list in March 2008, and the Sierra Club, along with other conservation groups, challenged the decision in court.

It's in the Bag
Celebrity mom Jennie Garth (90210, Dancing with the Stars) has teamed up with Green Works™ natural cleaners to design "The Green Bag by Jennie Garth," an environmentally friendly reusable tote bag that bears her signature.

The bag ($10) is made from 100 percent recycled cotton. For every bag sold, Green Works will donate $3.65 to the Sierra Club's conservation efforts. The remaining amount of $6.35 covers the cost of the bag.

Good (!) News for Home Buyers
How about good news (for a change) for future home buyers? This month, the International Code Council met in Minneapolis and voted to approve a 15 percent increase in energy-efficiency building code standards for new homes, townhouses, and some apartment buildings starting in 2009. That 15 percent boost in energy efficiency will make a significant cut in energy costs, air pollutants, and emissions that cause climate change.

Sounds like a good idea, right? And it's a big step toward energy-self-sufficient housing. But it wouldn't have happened without the efforts of an unusual coalition that included the Sierra Club's Cool Cities campaign.

For the full story on how it all went down, read Carl Pope's blog post "The Twilight of the Utility Bill?"

“Like many moms, I’m on a journey to living a more natural lifestyle without sacrificing quality and convenience,” said Garth. “Working with the Green Works team to design this bag is another opportunity to share the message about natural cleaning, while supporting a deserving organization like the Sierra Club.”

For more details, check out Green Works.

• She's wearing an Alice + Olivia dress that comes with that yellow belt. While I'm fond of the brand in general, this dress doesn't totally do it for me. I do not like the yellow belt. I, in fact, hate the yellow belt.
• Can someone please tell actresses that just because there are pockets on a dress, it does not mean that they MUST put their hands in said pockets, especially when being photographed? I would like a ban on hands in pockets in photos, please.
• Nice red pumps, especially with the dress. If only that belt weren't there!

I would rather have seen her in something like this sweater from Alice + Olivia with a pencil skirt - and she could even have worn the yellow belt.

Overall: C+

Entertainment Weekly quenched the thirst of many 90210 fans who wanted the scoop on the new show, the old drama, and everything in between when the Sept. 5 issue hit newsstands.

Former stars of 90210 Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty cover the Sept. 5 issue of EW. The timeliness of capturing Garth and Doherty’s input on the new show is important since the show premiered Sept. 2. This was a strategic move by EW because 90210 was a hit series from 1990 to 2000, and many of its readers are interested in learning more about what these actresses are up to now and what to expect for the new season. Garth and Doherty haven’t been on the TV scene together in 14 years and this article digs deeply into how they feel about acting together again.

The feature, “Afterschool Special”, with Garth and Doherty has unique design and photographs. The opening spread of the article mimics written notes on loose leaf paper with key names highlighted. This is a very “high school” touch added to the layout to reemphasize the sometimes juvenile aspect of high school note-passing mentality. The photos fit perfectly with Garth appearing as a school teacher with rules written on the chalk board behind her. This coincides with Garth’s role as a guidance counselor on the new series. Doherty is pictured vandalizing a desk to portray the “bad girl” image she once had on the show’s previous stint. Although since the show Doherty has maintained a semi-low key profile doing theatre in London, EW wanted to draw readers in with this image of her old bad girl persona.

EW does a good job of asking hard questions, by discussing Doherty’s previous bad reputation on set and how that affected everyone else’s initial opinions of her. Doherty discloses that she never liked her role as Brenda on 90210, but she felt a responsibility to her fans since they put a roof over her head for so many years. Doherty and Garth also set the record straight about a rumored fistfight they had on set during the old 90210. They had their moments, but it was far from a WWF match.

All of these factors revealed in the article allow fans of 90210 a closer look at what happened behind the scenes on the set. A reader wouldn’t be able to get access to information like that on the CW website. This interview really tells the story of how both actresses felt tension about acting with their younger counterparts and the process in which they had to change roles for their own characters on the new version of the show are all important to EW readers.

EW slacked on getting meatier commentary from Tori Spelling. Spelling wrote a book sTORI Telling, which reveals secrets about Doherty’s bad behavior on 90210. Spelling’s father, the late Aaron Spelling was the creator of 90210. The article should’ve included a sidebar from Spelling and her previous cast members like Luke Perry or Ian Ziering to get their opinions about the new show. This would’ve provided a juicier article for readers to get all points of view from former cast members.

We’re four episodes into the season and EW readers and 90210 fans are unraveling the new material on the show. The new Wilson family is reminiscent of the former cozy Walsh family, but now with an alcoholic grandmother. The other new cast members include the token good girl, newspaper editor, jock, ladies man, and a mean girl with attitude that makes The Devil Wears Prada look like a bedtime story.

Originally Mike Ausiello announced that Jennie Garth would be extending her 90210 stay, doing 4 more episodes to the six she did, she was originally going to be in 4 like Shannen Doherty. However, although The CW and producer Paramount confirmed the extra episodes at the EW pre-Emmy soiree. Jennie Garth told Ausiello nothing has been settled saying, "I was signed on to do four [episodes], I ended up doing six, and I guess it broke that I was doing more."  "But nothing's confirmed at this point," she added. "It's still totally up in the air."

Jennie Garth also commented on the controversy surrounding 90210 ever slimming figures: "I wish they'd stop saying that about me!" she joked. "Why can't I get that [criticism]!" "It's not my place [to address that issue]. I'm not a producer on the show. I just go in and do my thing and leave. I obviously care about the girls, but they seem healthy and happy, and they love what they're doing." "If it would make it better," she continued, "I will certainly make some cookies and take them to [the girls]." Visit Ausiello at EW for a video with Garth where she describes her reunion with Shannen Doherty.

Despite having his name prominently dropped in the latest episode of 90210 — "You’re still in love with Dylan," Brenda said, referring to the father of Kelly's son — Luke Perry is impressively sticking to his guns and fending off any offer to guest-star on the CW reboot.  During a conference call to TV Guide to promote his appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Sept. 23 season premiere, Perry was asked if he would be appearing on 90210, especially given the aforementioned mention of Dylan. "They own the name and likeness," he (presumably) shrugged. Pressed to clarify his stance, he stated simply, "That would be a no." Two months ago Perry told TV Guide "When you're in the professional acting business, you have to look at all offers, but.... creatively, [playing Dylan] is something I've done before and I don’t know that I'd benefit from going back and doing it again," he maintained.

-- Is an intervention in Jessica Walter's future on 90210? The show is casting the role of a group therapy counselor at a posh rehab facility.-- TV Guide

-- Kristin at E!Online chatted at the L.A. Confidential bash with Ian Ziering, aka the original 90210's Steve Saunders, says of Kelly's son, "The kid may be Dylan's, but he looks like me!"  So maybe now that Luke Perry won't appear they might change their course? Hopefully or else there's no story line...

The Emmy's are on tonight!  The who's who of Hollywood was out last night for Entertainment Weekly's 6thh Annual Pre-Emmy Celebration party in Beverly Hills. So many beautiful pictures are available I will have to pick my favorites to share with you guys!

I hate to repeat myself but everyone must watch out for Dania Ramirez! This chick is fierce!  Also in attendance, Alyssa Milano, Jennie Garth, Padma Lakshmi, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Silverman, Olivia Wilde and Lauren Conrad.

Last night, they reveled that Dylan McKay is the father of Kelly's four year old son.In an interview, Jennie was asked what she thought about the idea of Kelly having a kid.

"It was very confusing for me because initially the idea of having a son was my idea. I thought it would bring a great amount of depth to my character. Then the question came up, ‘Well, who’s the father?’ And I really hadn’t thought it through that far. So, I was like, Oh, I guess need one of those. It’s gone back and forth: Who and what and when and why? I think they settled on Dylan because Kelly and Dylan had such a passionate relationship in the past. Their relationship was so heated. It was kind of undeniable."As for the producers choosing Luke Perry, it had little to do with his acting skills, but mostly with his timing to appear on the show.

Jennie says, "A lot of it has to do with availability – where, when they would need them. It was never like, we definitely want to make it Dylan because of X,Y and Z. It was kind of like wait and see how it pans out. I didn’t even know for the first three or four episodes who the father was. And then I read it in the script, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I guess Dylan’s the dad. Great.’"

So will Dylan make a cameo on the show? Jennie added, "I would love to work with Luke again. I love him dearly. And I also would love to work with Jason [Priestley] again. It’s a great question for the producers. I would be nothing but totally happy to have either of them there."

What about Kelly and Brandon?

Jennie reveals, "There are some people that think Kelly and Brandon belong together. It’s interesting, just because the father is Dylan doesn’t mean that’s who Kelly is ultimately going to end up with."

So what have I got for you in this lovely, fun-filled post? Well, of course there is Gossip Girl (2.2 "Never Been Marcused), and two, count 'em, TWO episodes of The Hills (4.4 "Boys Make Girls Cry" and 4.5 "Something Has to Change). There's also 90210 (1.3 "Lucky Strike"), America's Next Top Model (11.3 "The Ladder of Model Success"), and Project Runway (5.9 "What's Your Sign?"). So buckle up, kittens! My recaps/reactions/pointless ramblings are all after the jump.

Gossip Girl - 2.2 "Never Been Marcused"

Seriously, this show's episode titles are sheer genius. It took me an embarassingly long time to catch on that they were all cleverly altered movie titles. Take the title of last week's episode, for example: "Never Been Marcused" is derived from the the 1999 Drew Barrymore flick Never Been Kissed. The episode before that, "Summer, Kind of Wonderful," which is from the 1987 John Hughes film Some Kind of Wonderful. My favorite ones from the first season include "Blair Waldorf Must Pie" (from John Tucker Must Die), "Desperately Seeking Serena" (from Desperately Seeking Susan), and "The Devil Wears Waldorf" (from The Devil Wears Prada). I really, really like when shows stick to a general theme with their episode titles. Friends did that too, with all their titles beginning with "The One With ...".

At any rate, I've gotten way, way off topic. This second episode of the second season provided the OMFG moments that I was missing in the season premiere ... Granted, I read spoiler after spoiler after spoiler before the premiere, so the lack of surprise was my own making. I suppose I know for the future that it's all a lot more fun in the beginning when you let yourself be surprised. This episode is centered around three main plots that are separate at the beginningof the episode and then get all tangled up into this sick, sad web at the end. God, it's brilliant the way Schwartz & Savage can do that. In the beginningwe have the Blair/Marcus/Chuck plot, in which Blair likes Marcus and still likes Chuck but won't admit it to anyone, let alone herself. Marcus, who, by the way, is a British Lord, likes Blair. Chuck both likes and hates Blair, and wants to ravage her and ruin her at the same time. Blair wants to meet the duke and duchess, Marcus' parents (well, dad and step-mom), Marcus is hesitant, causing Blair to believe that Marcus thinks she's unworthy. Marcus, however, stupidly confides in Chuck that the duchess, his step-mom, has scared away all his past girlfriends and he doesn't want to see Blair scared off in the same manner. Chuck, ever the opportunist, pounces on that bit of information and begins digging. We find out (and then everyone finds out at the end) that Marcus' step-mom is none other than Catherine, the cougar Nate's been sleeping with all summer. Which leads us to Nate's plot: his family's having money trouble again, due to his dad skipping the country after being convicted of embezzlement and fraud. Nate's solution to the problem? Whore himself out to cougar/duchess Catherine, despite his resurfacing feelings for hipster-girl Vanessa Abrams. No, seriously, he's having sex with her for money. Speaking of sex ... Dan & Serena's plotline (insert yawn here) is all about getting back together and fixing their relationship. All they end up doingis having sex in a lot of places (a beach and a bus bathroom, to name a few) and talking about nothing. Hmm. I find myself not caring.

All in all? Great episode. And it'll only get better from here. BLAIR/CHUCK FOREVER!! [Image]

The Hills - 4.4 "Boys Make Girls Cry" & 4.5 "Something Has to Change"

Oh. Look. Two episodes of the show that I still can't figure out why I watch this week. Technically one aired Sunday before the VMAs (which were also kind of a snoozefest aside from Russel Brand's repeated harassment of the Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears' return to sanity), but I'm lumping them both together here for the sake of organization. Since I talked about episode titles for Gossip Girl, I really feel the need to mention how extremely lame The Hills' episode titles are. The titles generally allude to what is supposed to be the big moment in each episode. So, for instance, in "Boys Make Girls Cry," Brody makes Stephanie cry. And in "Something Has to Change," Lauren and Audrina have their TALK in which they decide that something has to change in their friendship for them to continue being friends. Really deep, huh? I mean, I suppose bland, unoriginal titles fit the general blah that is the show, but still ... Meh. As an aside, there are a few things that are making me irked by this show more than usual this week — the fact that Lauren Conrad makes more money per episode of this show than I make in a year AND the fact that she just got a three-book deal to write young adult novels. I'm sitting here trying my hardest to make something of myself in the publishing industry and this girl does nothing but party and give people blank stares on TV and gets to do exactly what I want to. Yeah yeah, I realize life's not fair and that Lauren Conrad probably is a good person deep, deep underneath the layers of makeup, petty drama, hair extensions and bullshit, but still. Grrrr.

So in "Boys Make Girls Cry," the gang heads out to Vegas again for Frankie's birthday. There's still some awkward tension between Lauren & Audrina that's all due to them being sucky communicators and Lo being a petty bitch. Lo and Lauren have been friends for a long time, I get that. So I can also get how possessive Lo might be of Lauren ... except it doesn't seem that Lo acts like a hag to any of Lauren's other friends. Perhaps Lo doesn't think Audrina is worthy of Lauren, due to Audrina's different taste in clothes, men, friends, life in general. Whatever the reason, Lo is a big, big problem and Lauren doesn't seem to be acknowledging that. Sure it's a shitty situation when two of your roommate/friends don't get along, but you have to put your big girl panties on at some point and acknowledge that there's a problem before blaming the whole thing on Audrina "seeming disinterested." Shit, if I were in Audrina's shoes, I'd be trying to get the hell out of dodge, too. Lauren (and Lo) is nothing but a gigantic ball of judgment, regardless of what she says otherwise. Phew. In the meantime, Brody, who I like most of the time, decides to pull out all the stops and be the douchiest douchebag ever — he tells Lauren to kick Audrina out of the house AND then proceeds to completely dog Stephanie out in front of everyone at dinner, causing her to get upset. I think Stephanie's a bit of a dillweed, but no one deserves to be humiliated in front of their friends (and the several million people watching) like that. The episode comes to a random ass cliff hanger when Frankie tells the gang that Brody and Doug were in jail. Dun Dun DUN!

Cliffhanger be damned, as we find out in "Something Has to Change." Brody and Doug, as it turns out, were doing something involving pressing charges against a guy that punched one of them ... Screw that, they were totally making out the whole time. Don't try to cover it up, guys! Me and Frankie can see through your whole charade! The gang leaves Vegas and goes back to LA, where Audrina and Lauren awkwardly avoid each other, while constantly telling others that they need to talk. Stop talking about talking and just DO it, girls! Eventually they do (and Audrina wears this awesome pair of red pants — Team Audrina all the way, man!), but it ends up being the most frustrating thing to watch. They both talk, yet say nothing. And they definitely don't listen to anything the other is saying ... Or not saying, I should say. Lauren somehow manages to make the whole thing Audrina's fault (I've had that happen to me before and it's absolutely baffling to have a situation be spun on you so suddenly like that), Audrina accepts it and apologizes, and suddenly everything is all better. Oh, and Lauren cries black, black tears. Meh. [Image]

90210 - 1.3 "Lucky Strike"

Oh, this show ... I reiterate that it has so, so much potential, but I fear it won't quite be what it could be. I mean, the original Beverly Hills, 90210 left some pretty humongus shoes to fill when you think about it. I'll do my best to think positively, though. In this week's episode, we're led to believe that it's automatically a few weeks (or perhaps up to a month?) after the first two episodes. This is convenient plot-wise, 'cause we get to miss the majority of the melancholy-awkward-transition phase that comes along with a big move like that in which you're unhappy for no apparent reason a lot of the time. You know, feeling homeless 'cause where you once were isn't your home anymore and where you are now definitely isn't your home ... It's a sucky feeling, and only goes away with time. I say it's lucky for us that they skipped all that 'cause really, it wouldn't be entertaining for a TV show. Who wants to watch teenagers mope around when they could be scheming and plotting to ruin each others' lives? Honestly!

The main plotline within the Wilson household was completely boring and pointless, so I don't really want to focus on it much. The overview is that the family is all busy and super involved with their respective jobs and school commitments, and Aunt Becky Lori Laughlin wants the family to spend some time together. So they force their ungrateful children to go bowling with them in public on a Friday night. Yawn. In other plotlines, however, Erin aka "Silver," who is Kelly Taylor's little sister, obviously doesn't want to spend any time at her house, as we can tell from her trying to stay at a battered women's shelter and her sister's house in lieu of going home. We find out at the end that their mother is an emotionally abusive alcoholic, and Kelly ends up comingto her sister's aid just in time. Jennie Garth is basically my favorite thing about this show so far, so any character connected with her character is okay by me. The other main plotline has to do with uber-bitch Naomi, who finds out that not only has her dad been having an affair for several years, but her mom knows about it and is strangely okay with it. This screws Naomi over in the head, and she runs to her now-ex-who-likes-BJs-in-cars Ethan, even though Ethan likes Darcy Annie and Annie likes Ty but might like Ethan too. Whew. What a whirlwind. All in all, this show's gotta keep on trying to be as good as it could be. MORE KELLY, I say! [Images]

America's Next Top Model - 11.3 "The Ladder of Model Success"

Normally when the show is in the early stages like this, I have trouble remembering girls' names and telling them apart from one another. Strangely enough, that doesn't seem to be happening yet this season. My guess is because the house this season is filled with girls that stand out in some way, whether it's because they're made of awesome (see: Marjorie, Isis, Joslyn, Sheena), whack ass bitches (see: Clark, Hannah), or just plain striking (Elina, Analeigh). Way to overcome my painfully horrid short-term memory, girls! Believe me, that's one hell of a feat.

So anyway, in this episode we are treated yet again with the bendy bald man who claims to have invented vogueing Bennie Ninja. I honestly can never decide whether I like him or he gets on my nerves ... What I'm really afraid of is Tyra giving in and putting him on panel. I mean, she did it with Miss J, right? Then again, I don't think Bennie is anywhere near the awesomeness that is Miss J Alexander, so lets not get ahead of ourselves. Bennie comes to teach the girls about extreme posing with a contortionist, just like in Cycle 7. Except this time we don't have Melrose acting like a catty bitch toward a whiney and unsuspecting Anchal. This go-round we have Sheena proving how truly bendy she is and the rest of the girls trying to be extreme and high fashion while flailing around in mesh windsocks. If that's high fashion, you can count me out, Bennie Ninja. Their challenge the next day was to demonstrate several extreme poses using a purse as a prop for some uppity pink-haired bitch I've never heard of ... Good ol' Sheena made us all proud by putting her legs behind her head and putting the purse in her crotch. I love you, Sheena. Never change! Elina ends up winning the challenge.

The big drama of this episode was once again centered around Hannah, who can't resist telling anyone who will listen that she's from Alaska and all this is new to her. Believe us, Hannah, we know.  Even if you didn't remind us every five seconds, we'd still be able to tell just by the way you act. After the challenge, the gang was getting down in the hot tub, and Hannah gave Isis an unfriendly shove when she felt she was getting too close. Isis was classy about it and didn't cause fuss, but Brittany, Sheena, Joslyn and Nikyesha were fed up with Hannah's whack ass actions and professions of being the "whitest white girl" and a "stereotypical white person" and decided to confront her about her alleged prejudices. They decide to do so in front of the whole house, which, understandably so, catches Hannah off guard. At the same time, though I find it hard to feel bad for Hannah in the situation, 'cause homegirl totally had it coming. She's very open about the fact that she hasn't had much interaction in the past with people who are different from her, i.e. people of color, people who are born one sex but identify with another. However, instead of being open to learning about these new people and cultures she's being exposed to, she's trying to fit everyone in the house into these categories she thinks they should be in in her head. And when things don't fit in the way she thinks they should, she practically puts her fingers in her ears and shouts "I DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER I'M WHITE AND FROM A SMALL TOWN LALALALALALALALA." Sweetie, don't blame your circumstances and take yourself out of the equation. Sure, you've been sheltered all of your life, but it's something you can ultimately overcome if you actually take the time to TRY instead of judging people and then playing the victim. Her using her upbringing as an excuse to her perpetual ignorance is the biggest cop out, and really, really makes me severely dislike her. And then she tops it all off by calling that ambush "gang rape." Nice, Hannah. Very nice.

The photo shoot the nect day is all about flowy dresses, ladders, and more extreme posing. Elina, Lauren Brie, and Marjorie all kill it, Sheena apparently knows how to hang on to the ladder using only her butt cheeks (that's my girl, Sheena), and Nikyesha, Hannah, and Isis all struggle. During panel, the next day, we find out that *dun dun DUN* Sheena's had a boob job! They asked her about it, she lied, and then came clean at the end of the panel. It's okay, Sheena. I love you, fake boobies and all. Lauren Swiss Brie is called first, to no one's surprise, followed by Elina and Joslyn. That leaves Isis (wah!) and Nikyesha for the bottom two. Thankfully, Nikyesha was the one to go home, meaning we don't have to deal with her Tootie haircut and spindly arms anymore. Huzzah! And even more reasons to huzzah? Next week is MAKEOVERS!!

Project Runway - 5.9 "What's Your Sign?"

Okay, Kenley has got  to go. I loathe her with ever fiber of my being. It's not even a fun-loathing, like it was with Santino Rice or Christian Siriano in the early episodes of season 4. I hate Kenley the same way I hate Rami and Season 1's Wendy Pepper — she's annoying as hell, she thinks she's the shit, and her voice is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. Oh, and her red-lipstick-kewpie-doll-vintage-love-affair vibe is totally not working at all. I spit in your general direction, Kenley!

Whew. Okay, on with the recap. This week, our trusty band of designers have to team up with a contestant from this season that has already been eliminated (ooooh!) in order to create an avant garde look inspired by their zodiac sign. Interesting ... And certainly a lot of opportunity for fug. The pairs were: Blayne & Stella (sheer perfection) doing Libra, Terri & crybaby Keith doing Leo, Kenley (argh) & shortshorts Wesley doing Aquarius, Leanne & hipster Emily doing Scorpio, Jerrell (my favorite) & Jennifer doing Saggitarius, Korto & Kelli doing Aquarius, Suede & that guy that was eliminated the first episode doing Aquarius, and Joe & "I have impeccable taste" Daniel doing Leo .. or something. Sorry, my brain is escaping me and Television Without Pity seems to be down, so I'm left to my own devices. Nooooooooo! So anyway, the gang gets two days to complete their look, but are surprised at the end of day one by Tim telling them that they have to show their look at a party that night. Oooh, sneaky sneaky! The party, as it turns out, is at a planetarium and is chock full of PR contestants from previous seasons (including season 2's DANIEL VOSOVIC who is my all time favorite .. God, I love him!) who picked the winning outfit. The designers + Heidi loved Leanne's, Korto's, & Jerrell's outfits, to no one's surprise. No one seemed surprised with Kenley's plaid & floral Aquarius outfit — it didn't look like anything related to Aquarius at all, and Kenley didn't seem to care. Of course. 'Cause she's freakin' Kenley. Christina Siriano (I love him) wasn't impressed with the fur collar on Terri's Leo outfit, which Terri threw a snit about later. Terri really didn't end up coming up smelling like a rose in this episode. It's no secret that she's a talented designer, as are they all, but she really  doesn't play well with others. She treated Suede like ass in the Lipstick Jungle challenge and is doing the same to Keith here. Granted, I'm not the biggest Suede or Keith fans, but no one deserves to be constantly passive-aggressively tortured while they're already in an extreme pressure situation like that.

On the runway the next day, Kenley, Blayne and Terri were all lambasted for their fugly garments. To no one's surprise, Kenley stood up for hers, talked over the judges, and told Heidi Klum and Michael Kors that they didn't really know what they were talking about. Nice, Kenley, real classy. That's going to get you really, really far. Unfortunately, Terri's and Blayne's garments were much uglier than Kenley's, and they were sent home. Meaning I have to deal with this stank person for yet another week. Oy gevalt. But at least Jerrell won the challenge! Yayyyy! I love it if he, Korto or Leanne won. They're my picks. [Image]

This may be good news for all you Beverly Hills, 90210 fans out there: Brenda Walsh just might be back for another visit to your favorite zip code in later episodes of 90210.

Shannen Doherty is reportedly open to returning to the 90210 set if The CW comes with an offer for additional episodes, which the network says is a "definite" possibility.

Jennie Garth, who plays Kelly Taylor on the show, will also be back for a few episodes. Of course, if you're a fan, you knew that already. :D

Personalmente pensavo a qualcosa di più scioccante ma vabbè!

It was finally revealed on last night’s 90210 that bad boy Dylan McKay is the father of Kelly Taylor’s 4-year-old son. Jennie Garth, who plays Kelly, talked to PEOPLE.com about the big baby daddy reveal, the loyal fans and possible future cameos from the old-school cast. –Elaine Aradillas

What did you think when they told you Dylan was going to be the father?
It was very confusing for me because initially the idea of having a son was my idea. I thought it would bring a great amount of depth to my character. Then the question came up, ‘Well, who’s the father?’ And I really hadn’t thought it through that far. So, I was like, Oh, I guess need one of those. It’s gone back and forth: Who and what and when and why? I think they settled on Dylan because Kelly and Dylan had such a passionate relationship in the past. Their relationship was so heated. It was kind of undeniable.

Since you started the new 90210, who did the fans want the father to be?
It’s funny because everyone who was a fan of the original show has an opinion about who Kelly ended up with. I had been so detached from it for so long that I was like, I don’t even know how the show left it off. Had she gone away with Brandon or Dylan? I remember that one time when she said, ‘I choose me,’ which was really great. That was hilarious to me. I’d have to say it’s 50/50–it’s either Brandon or Dylan. Everyone wanted to know who the father was, and you know, I’d say it could be Steve Sanders or it could be Nat from the Peach Pit. You don’t know.

How did the producers decide who the father would be?
I was completely in the dark. They’ve been trying to secure Brandon to come back on the show, or Dylan or Donna. They’re trying to get little cameos from all of the original cast. A lot of it has to do with availability – where, when they would need them. It was never like, we definitely want to make it Dylan because of X,Y and Z. It was kind of like wait and see how it pans out. I didn’t even know for the first three or four episodes who the father was. And then I read it in the script, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I guess Dylan’s the dad. Great.’ And it made sense to me because like I said, Kelly and Dylan ultimately do belong together. They have a fiery thing.

How do you think the fans will react to the news?
Either way, whether the son was Brandon’s or Dylan’s, the fans will be excited. Because that’s a direct connection with what they want–the original show. And those characters from the original show are seared into those old hardcore fans’ mind, and to have that connection and to have that tie-in, they’re going to love it. And they’re going to analyze everything that little kid does. He has no idea what he’s gotten himself into.

Any chance Dylan will show up in a cameo?
I would love to work with Luke [Perry] again. I love him dearly. And I also would love to work with Jason [Priestley] again. It’s a great question for the producers. I would be nothing but totally happy to have either of them there.

Do we find out where Dylan is?
You find out a little bit of information, but I don’t think it’s until a little bit later. A later episode. I think there might be more surprises in store.

Any chance of another love triangle?
There are some people that think Kelly and Brandon belong together. It’s interesting, just because the father is Dylan doesn’t mean that’s who Kelly is ultimately going to end up with.

So obviously, stop reading if you don't want the spoiler.  But after a couple weeks of vague references to Sammy's daddy, Brenda (aka Brinda) Walsh revealed the baby daddy as . . . DYLAN!

Can someone cue the record scratch please?  Because last I checked, Dylan looked like this:

And Kelly looks like this:

So how the hell do these two create a curly-haired blonde boy?  It was a while ago, but I recall learning about dominant/recessive genes in biology.  Kelly has blonde and straight locks.  Dylan is a natural brunette, hair also straight.  Dark hair and curly hair are both dominant traits.  Thus, in order for Sammy to be blonde, Dylan must carry a blonde recessive gene.  And in order for Sammy to have curly hair, either Kelly or Dylan must be carrying a dominant curly gene . . . but wait!  That would not be possible given the current ruler-straight status of Dylan and Kelly's locks!

My verdict then:  Kelly and/or Dylan use a straightening iron every morning or . . .

The kid is not Dylan's.  It's STEVE's!  Thoughts???

I have a hazy recollection of Beverly Hills, 90210, so I'm guessing that before Brenda Walsh left the zip Kelly Taylor presumably hooked up with Dylan McKay, who is the daddy of Kelly's child.

I really think that they should consider having the series restarted. It would be fun to see the cast reunited, even for just one season. I'd love to see Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green all in one screen again.

As boring as the new story lines have been on the new 90210, we finally get some good stuff! Brenda confirms that Kelly's baby daddy is Dylan! So what about the rumors that Luke Perry won't be returning to the famous zip code?

Maybe we have a shot at a little Dylan on the show? I hope they don't replace him with someone else, that will make the new show prematurely jump the shark. Don't let me down! Bring back Dylan!
