Jennie Wants Tori Back In The ‘Hood
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Jennie Garth is speaking out about how “bummed” she is that Tori Spelling is not going back to the old zip code with her and Shannen Doherty. Tori, as we reported earlier, declined to sign on to do the CW 90210 spin-off because of salary issues. Tori found out that she was offered about $10,000-$20,000 LESS per episode than both Shannen and Jennie, and said adios to any chance of her appearing on the upcoming show. Jennie talked to Entertainment Weekly recently about her disappointment that Tori won’t be appearing in the new show: “I’m really bummed because I love Tori and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show,” she told the magazine. In regards to the salary disparity, Jennie had this to say: “I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid. Her father (Aaron Spelling) created the show,” Garth said. “It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her.” Well, we’re sorry Donna Martin won’t be joining the new cast, too. It would’ve been great to see the trio back in action together.
Tori Not Going Back To 90210
Monday, August 11th, 2008
Sad news for all Donna Martin fans. Tori Spelling probably won’t be joining CW’s Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off, as once reported. In May the CW flirted with the idea of Tori returning, with a press release mentioning Donna’s return to her old stomping grounds: “Donna Martin will be the owner of one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills, a shopping spot that is frequented by the new cast of characters,” the release stated. Well, there will be no cool store owned by Donna Martin, because Tori’s not going to be in the show. And according to Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily, it’s all because of the payout. Tori was reportedly offered $10,000-$20,000 to reprise the Donna role, while fellow old-skool 90210′ers, Shannon Doherty and Jennie Garth, were reportedly offered $35,000-$50,000 per episode. Well, that doesn’t seem fair now, does it? Maybe all the press this is garnering will make the CW bosses think twice about increasing their offer to Tori, but we won’t hold our breath.
Kelly Coming Back To 90210?
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
Oooh, someone tell Tori Spelling they’re picking Kelly Taylor to come back to 90210 instead of Donna Martin. The Hollywood Reporter is speculating that Jennie Garth might be joining the cast of the Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff on CW network. Jennie was set to play an ex-wife character in My Best Friend’s Girl, a CBS pilot, but she suddenly dropped out. HR says Jennie will probably reprise her role as Kelly Taylor, who comes back to her alma mater to teach fashion design. We shall see, but it’s not such a bad idea for the spinoff to feature one of the original 90210-ers. If anything, it would be great publicity for a new show.
