Hilary Duff: Step aside, Shannen Doherty. Hilary Duff just might be the new face of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Sources connected to the series tell me exclusively that producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary to offer her a starring role in the series.

No word yet on whether she is interested in the role, and at press time, we have not received comment from reps for the CW or Hilary.

According to sources, Hilary's potential character is that of Annie Mills. As I reported last month, Annie is a Beverly Hills High student who is into theater acting, just like her predecessor. But instead of Color Me Badd, she's listening to emo bands. She yearns to fit in with the alternative crowd and leans a lot on her adopted brother, Dixon, too.

She likes to be on stage, and she's cute as a button...sounds like a perfect match for Hilary, no?

In a excerpt revealed to People magazine Spelling wrote: "Shannen had everything, but she could be arrogant and carefree. Jennie [Garth] was outspoken when she thought Shannen was out of line.

Kelly Taylor has come a long way from stealing Dylan McKay out of girlfriend Brenda Walsh’s grip on Beverly Hills, 90210. Jennie, in her Ralph Lauren–esque getup and with her perfectly put-together children (10-year-old Luca, 5-year-old Lola and Fiona, 18 months) and husband of seven years, Peter Facinelli, look more out of Stepford than Beverly Hills. Somehow we c
