‘90210′: The Father of Kelly’s ‘Splash-Off’ Revealed!

3:40AM Kyle Buchanan | It was the question that had all of America’s small, CW-watching audience in its thrall for about a week, tops: who is the father of Kelly’s baby on 90210? Sure, Canada took great pains to give away the show’s secret, but for spoiler-avoiding true patriots, last night’s episode finally revealed the babydaddy behind Beverly Hills’s most famous “splash-off”.

Shenae Grimes Is The Only One Who Gets to Smile Around Here!

2:40AM Kyle Buchanan | In most respects, 90210 lead Shenae Grimes couldn’t be more different from her franchise predecessor Shannen Doherty: instead of coming across as a Midwestern fish out of water in Beverly Hills, she’s already tanned, styled, and starved within an inch of her life (and it’s only three weeks in). And then there is the smiling — always, the smiling! However, according to the New York Post, Grimes may have taken a page from Doherty when it comes to on-set behaviour, and it sounds like she’s not giving her coworkers much to smile about: More »

Did a Canadian Ad Spoil The Big ‘90210′ Secret?

2:20AM Defamer Hollywood | Once upon a time, we thought that the babydaddy mystery surrounding Kelly Taylor’s love child on the new 90210 would be the “Who killed Laura Palmer?” of the CW set, with Jennie Garth given mysterious, clue-laden bon mots to drop all season, then a hasty denouement revealing Kelly’s torrid night of cappuccinos with Nat at the Peach Pit five years ago. Then, producers threw us for a loop, stating that Shannen Doherty would reveal the big secret as early as tomorrow night’s episode when Brenda confronts Kelly about dating the hot hipster teacher at West Bev. Now, in the wake of that hint, a tipster has informed us that a Canadian ad for the big episode may unwittingly supply the father’s identity. Spoilers, after the jump… More »

Shannen Doherty, ‘Icon’, Wants To Know If You Miss Her

9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Though the new 90210 has booked Jennie Garth for a major recurring role and relegated Shannen Doherty to only a handful of episodes, it’s the latter who merits “icon” status according to this brand-new CW promo. In it, Doherty shows up in special new footage taped just for you (but not for you, Tori), coyly flipping her hair as she asks the camera, “Miss me?” While we do, Shannen, we must remind you that there’s someone in the 90210 cast who tops even you in our estimation: Jessica Walter, aka Lucille freakin’ Bluth. While we’re certain that she’s the last actor the CW cares to build a promo around (even Mark the Cobrasnake would probably get one first), to us, she’s the show’s true, alcoholic icon. CW, hear our cry for footage of Walter, or we’ll be forced to mount a “Save our Bluths” campaign the likes of which even EW cannot contain. [The CW] More »
