Fans of "Gossip Girl," "One Tree Hill, "90210," the Thursday combo of "Smallville" and "Supernatural" and the reality hit "America's Next Top Model," can breathe easy. All these shows have been renewed and are coming back for all new seasons.

Tori Spelling Back On 90210!

It seems actress Tori Spelling is close to finalizing a deal to reprise her role as Donna Martin in the new 90210 series. The actress may be appearing in multiple episodes on the CW's successful spin-off.

Jason Priestley, who played good-guy Brandon Walsh in the original, won’t be in front of the camera. But he will be directing the new cast of his alma mater starting later this month. His episode will air March 18.

We think the general consensus amongst 90210 diehards is that they are happy to being seeing Donna back on the small screen. Anyone have thoughts? What do we think of the return of Tori Spelling to the show? Yay or Nay?

Lori Loughlin dishes about the "90210" weight controversy

Talk show host Bonnie Hunt invites actress Lori Loughlin to “The Bonnie Hunt Show” to discuss The CW’s hit show, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” what she thinks about her thin costars and clears up the John Stamos rumors, airing today.

After discussing how much fun she is having on the updated hit show, Lori answers Bonnie about the recent tabloid scrutiny of her young costars weight and says, “They’re doing fine actually. I see them eat. I don’t see a problem but I think once the tabloids grab on to something they run with it.”

Loughlin continues to defend her costars by saying, “I do think, as far as the tabloids go, if someone does have a problem…and I know the bottom line is making money…but I feel like we need to be a little considerate of people’s emotional and mental states because if you really keep splashing them on the cover of magazines the one thing they are going to try to control is the fact that they don’t have to eat or whatever their disorder might be.”

Bonnie also asks Lori to clear up the never-ending rumors that she once dated her “Full House” co-star John Stamos when they were younger. Lori explains that they were just friends and never dated, “It was so innocent….we were 17.”

90210 Gets Positive Reviews!

The first reviews are in from last night’s two-hour premiere of the much anticipated 90210. See what people are saying! Most of them are pretty positive! Did you watch the show last night?

“90210 is a perfectly competent and reasonably seamless revival that understands what made the original tick (and tick and tick), while being infused (occasionally suffused) with enough contemporary touchstones to remind new viewers that this isn’t their parents’ (or at least older siblings’) trusty fave… 90210 is not a disaster, and the CW can now officially let out a deep … sigh … of relief.” — Newsday

“More than just a famous zip code, 90210 is easily the most hyped show of the fall season and the CW is banking on all of the buzz to draw in 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.” — Variety
