Tori Spelling Furious At '90210' Spinoff For Unequal Pay With Jennie & Shannen
The question is whether this is a really smart or really stupid decision by The CW's boss Dawn Ostroff. I'm told a contract controversy is preventing Tori Spelling from joining that so-called "edgy, contemporary spin-off" of the '90s hit 90210 on the network this fall as planned. Insiders tell me that Tori was hired to reprise her role as fashion boutique owner Donna Martin for just "$10,000-$20,000" per episode. But then Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were signed for "$35,000-$50,000" a show. When Tori f
Tori Spelling wants husband in 90210
Tori Spelling is excited about joining the re-vamped 90210, starring Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty, among others reprising their original roles.
But she has also launched a campaign to get her husband, Dean McDermott, a role on the show.
According to the print edition of Star Magazine, Tori is desperate to get her actor-husband on the show.
A source told the magazine: "Tori asked the producers to find a spot for him, maybe a guest-starring role that could turn into something permanent. Tori wou
'90210' on redial
REAL estate downturns aside, “90210" is still a very good ZIP Code.
Slated to premiere Sept. 2, the CW's new version of the Aaron Spelling classic has dominated the entertainment press this pilot season like few other new television shows.
Of course, TV fans have been hungry to learn who will be cast as the new clique of rich kids, but they seem even more interested in which of the old characters who left the prime-time schedule eight years ago might be stopping by West Beverly High or the Peach Pit
Shannen Doherty Returns to 90210
Brenda is back in her old zip code!
"Shannen Doherty will be returning to 90210," Gabe Sachs, executive producer of the CW's new spin-off, said during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
"Shannen is looking forward to returning to 90210," Doherty's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Doherty, who played the twin sister to Jason Priestley's character Brandon Walsh for four seasons of the original Beverly Hills, 90210, will return as Brenda Walsh when the new show pr
Rich kids are back: CW plots '90210' spinoff
The most popular ZIP code on television is coming back.
The CW is developing a contemporary spinoff of Aaron Spelling's seminal 1990s teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210."
"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas is in talks to pen the project, which has been put on the fast track by the network.
Details about the spinoff -- including which if any of the characters on the original series will make the transition to the new show -- remain sketchy. CW is expected to make a decision whether to order a pilot by
Tori Spelling to tell all from her 90210 days
Fox News reports that Tori Spelling is releasing a book about her days on the set of the TV show 90210.
The autobiography even tells about a Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth fist fight... NICE! 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. Sometimes they got along, but there were explosions. Once they got into a fistfight."
Hopefully she spends a lot of ti
Lori Loughlin: No Shannen Doherty in 90210 Spinoff
Jennie Garth may want Shannen Doherty to return for the 90210 spinoff, but Lori Loughlin sure doesn’t.
“I don't think Shannen will. No.” the actress tells OK!. “I don't think anyone wants to touch that.”
But the show will embrace Tori Spelling with open arms though. Donna Martin’s real-life alter ego has been angling for a role in the CW series since the news was announced. But Tori, who’s due next month with her second child, may need to take a short maternity leave first.
“I think

Last month, the network fast-tracked a pilot for a spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210, the popular series about a group of kids living an upscale life. For 10 years starting in 1990, viewers watched the lives unfold for Brandon (Jason Priestley)
Writer Dishes 90210 Spinoff Details
Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas is penning the pilot for the CW’s spinoff Beverly Hills, 90210, and though he didn’t mention the do-good Walsh family from the original made famous in the ’90s, he revealed some details about the new family.
“The guy who gets hired as the new principal brings his family of four from Kansas to Beverly Hills. The
principal, himself, graduated from West Beverly High School,” he said. “The grandmother — the principal’s
mother — is a Julie Christie-like act
Luke Perry: No Plans to Join 90210 Spin-Off
Don't expect Luke Perry to join Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth on the CW's 90210 spin-off.
“I can’t re-imagine it currently,” Perry told The Billy Bush Show Thursday.
“It’s just not something that I’ve thought about to be quite honest,” Perry, who played brooding rebel Dylan McKay revealed. “I don’t see it happening.”
As for his former castmates Spelling and Garth, “I wish them a lot of luck. I hope they have a lot of success with it,” Perry said.

Jennie Garth goes Stepford Wives
No, this is not an ad for Crocs. It’s Jennie Garth’s family, who are a little too… matchy? Too flawless? Too perfect for words!
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

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

Mother Of All Mothers, Candy Spelling Buys A Condo
Candy Spelling's pockets just got $45 million dollars lighter. She just purchased a Condo in Los Angeles that won't be ready to move into for another year or two. Call Ms. Nina crazy but isn't it sad that Ms. Spelling can shell out 45 million for a Condo but she can't give her daughter, Tori Spelling, enough money to live on so she doesn't have to pimp herself out on reality shows and in books. Being a mother I could never see myself not taking care of my children no matter how pissed off I was at them...
