You can ask Shenae Grimes to sign autographs, but just please don't ask her to talk about current events!  As Shenae left Katsuya in Los Angeles last night, she was bombarded with questions about everyone from John Travolta to Bristol Palin.  Shenae's advice to us "lighten up!"

Shenae Grimes is back in the motherland! The Beverly Hills 90210 star stopped by her old "home" of CTV  in Toronto, Canada; if you remember before Shenae was Annie on 90210, she was Darcy on Candian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation.  

After her meeting Shenae grabbed some coffee with a friend, it looks like the two of them speak the international language of Starbucks.

      

Shouldn't y'all be in the kitchen right now?!

The cast of Beverly Hills 90210 were working hard this holiday week.  We spotted Shenae Grimes, AnnaLynne McCord and Jessica Lowndes on set yesterday afternoon.  Shenae gave us a wave from her trailer while AnnaLynne and Jessica flashed us a smile between scenes.

I can't wait for the Jason Priestly-directed episode of 90210!  I just wish he would actually get on screen, fingers crossed....

       

Beverly Hills 90210 star Shenae Grimes isn't letting all the comments about her weight (or lack of, I should say) get to her. 

Shenae recently talked to Extra about people's concerns.  "Shake it off baby!" she said. "We're on set every day, and it's going well."

Shenae, who's also been caught smoking lately, has gotten support from the former bad girl of 90210, Shannen Doherty.  “She’s been through it all. She’s had people slander her constantly," she said. "You’re supposed to smile and be like, 'I’m a happy person.' What happened with her is that they caught her those times when she didn’t want to have to smile anymore.”

In exciting news, there may be a 90210/Gossip Girl crossover episode, how old school network tv of them!  Shenae commented, "We've been talking about that since day one." 

Keep your Tuesday nights open because the Beverly Hills 90210 remake has been picked up for a full season!

After the success of 90210’s first three weeks on the air, the CW network has given a green light to nine more episodes of the remake, making it the first new show of fall to be picked up for an entire season.

The show had the highest rated premiere ever on the CW (how could it not with all that hype) and even though the ratings dipped in the second week they went up again last week when Brenda dropped the bomb that Dylan is the father of Kelly's baby.

Dawn Ostroff, president of entertainment for the network, told Variety the show is “another step forward in building a cohesive schedule that defines this network as a destination for young women with shows that get our audience talking — and watching.”

How did y'all feel about the 2-hour premiere of the new Beverly Hills 90210? To be honest, I was a bit distracted and wasn't able to full take in the entire program (I mean, that is a lot of teen drama for a Tuesday night) however, the parts I did watch I loved and I totally perked up when Brenda and Kelly were on the screen. 

As promised, Brenda (Shannen Doherty) will appear for a few more epies as the guest director of West Beverly High School's play.  We spotted Brenda along with her new co-stars AnnaLynne McCord, Shenae Grimes, Ryan Eggold and Dustin Milligan all doing their thing on set in Los Angeles.

Fans, producers and network execs can all take a deep sigh of reliefe because the show did great in the ratings!  The reviews were mostly positive, but we all know this style of programming is never going to get criticial acclaim.

 Variety says, More than just a famous zip code, “90210” is easily the CW’s most-hyped show of the fall season, and the struggling netlet is banking on all of the buzz to draw big ratings. This spinoff, eight years after the first series ended, is a pallid copy of the original fish-out-of-water story, only with shinier cars, fancier clothes and Botox aplenty.

Even the biggest fan of the original would be hard-pressed to call it realistic, but that earlier incarnation did deal with many topical issues of the day. This version doesn’t cover issues as much as exploit them. With shows like “The Hills” and “Gossip Girl,” exploring the upscale teenage lifestyle, this “90210” doesn’t really offer any fresh zip.

Well, that won't stop me from watching!  You can catch an encore showing of Bev Hills tonight at 8 on the CW.

                   

How excited are you for the new Beverly Hills 90210?!  Are you super psyched, cuz I'm super psyched!  In the wake of one too many reality shows, I am really looking forward to yet another teen drama to accompany my beloved Gossip Girl, especially because it's based on one of my favorite television shows of all time! 
Check out the video and gallery below of the show's premiere in Malibu over the weekend.  You will see new stars, Shenae Grimes, AnnaLynne McCord, Dustin Milligan and Tristan Wild, as well as the familiar faces of Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, and Lori Loughlin.  90210 debuts Sept. 2, on the CW.

          

Ch-check it out!  It's some shots from the Beverly Hills 90210 spin off!  We got some shots of Shenea Grimes (formerly of Degrassi: The Next Generation) and her co-star doing a scene together.  Also filming was what looked to be a fashion show scene; which is kind of standard for any teen drama.  (You may remember the fashion show from season two of the original 90201...Kelly's mom effs it up cuz she's all coked up and what not.)

So are ankle socks with heels officially back? I noticed Jenny Humprey on Gossip Girl sportin' some awhile back and now its on 90210?  Socks and heels are kind of the ultimate in retro; tell me people, have we gone too far?  Would you wear socks and heels or do you think it's gross? A couple of years ago I would have never been caught dead like that, but if it's good enough for Young Hollywood, I won't fight it (plus its probably more comfortable)!
