Donna and Brandon to join '90210'

Get ready for another "90210" reunion.

Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) and Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley) will finally return to the zip code that made them famous.

According to People, Spelling "is close to finalizing a deal to be in multiple episodes," while Priestley is set to direct the March 18 episode.

I hope Kelly is excited to have her long, lost BFF back, since Brenda still isn't over Kelly stealing Dylan from her back in high school.

'OTH' doesn't disappoint

If you didn't catch Monday's return episode of One Tree Hill, you missed a good one.

Brooke spends most of the episode looking for her foster daughter, Sam. (The teen ran away after telling Brooke she was responsible for having her attacked at Clothes Over Bros.) When the cops won't help, Brooke goes to Sam's friend, Jack Daniels' house.

What she doesn't know is that his creepy brother is the same bad dude who attacked her and murdered her friend, Quentin. The scene has that "Silence of the Lambs" feel when the freak tells Brooke she has a nice mouth while we know that Sam is duct taped in the next room. 

'OTH' and '90210' are coming back!

After much too long of a hiatus, "One Tree Hill" and "90210" make their return to primetime this coming week.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready. I've missed my good pals Brooke Davis and Kelly Taylor.

"OTH" airs Monday at 9 p.m.; "90210" is back Tuesday at 8 p.m. Both shows are on The CW.

In the meantime, you can catch reruns of "One Tree Hill" and the original "Bevery Hills, 90210" weekend mornings on SOAPNet.

 

 

 

 

 

"Stylista" Finale: Just Where Do You Think You're Going, Miss Megan?!

It's been a long journey, we've had some good times, some bad times.

Now it's down to the final 3: Evil Megan, her hatted henchman Dyshaun and our self-doubting but sweet Rufflesaurus Johanna.

The 3 begin the show by stating their case for winning. Dyshaun says that in his own way he's a trendsetter. Megan says she's done a lot professionally; "People can Google me and articles from Vogue come up." (I guess if we knew her last name.) Johanna says fashion is her passion.

The show takes an "Apprentice-like" turn by having the 3 interview with Elle editor-in-chief Roberta "Robbie" Myers. Robbie walks out to meet them and Megan calls her "impossibly chic." It's true; her mere prescence makes Anne Slowey seem a hausfrau.

"Stylista": Zac Posen Slums

We're down to the Final Four and with Kate gone, the drama is on a low hum.

We begin with Johanna, the ruffle-loving military analyst who speaks fluent Chinese, flaunting her insecurities and Megan encouraging her self-flogging.

Johanna reveals that, because she has no experience in fashion, her true love, she started a fashion blog
so she could have writing clips (there are ruffle photos EVERYWHERE). Sadly, her impressive resume would only get her a yucky job in defense.

"Stylista": Kate's Last Stand

With a week off for a recap clip show, there's a fresh new sense about our potential stylistas.

OK, not really. The week picks off just like always: Kate.

This time, it's Johanna spewing. If you remember, our military analyst had taken on Kate as her project. Everybody hates Kate so I will show that Kate only need a good handler, Johanna thought.

But that didn't work out too well. Kate came out a star and Johanna ended up looking like a loser and breaking down in tears.

This week, Johanna says she thinks Kate should have gone home, instead of Danielle. "I wanted to show I could work for someone difficult and there was no reward for that." Actually sweetie, a good deed is its own reward.

"Stylista": Remember the Bungalow!

Behold Kate's power.

With six contestants left, Dear Sweet Cranky Whiny Kate is ascending.

As we start this episode, she's even got Megan on the defense, wondering how Kate keeps hanging on.

The first task this week is to purchase a thank you gift, worth no more than $250, for the owner of New York hot spot Bungalow 8. Anne will be throwing a party there.

The six get to pick their own team of two. All that matters is that Dyshaun gets Kate. By default, of course.

Johanna and Megan choose a cashmere throw. Anne deems it not a heavy enough gauge.
Megan and Danielle put together a survival kit of items for flying. Anne says it's too low-brow, a goodie bag.
Dyshaun and Kate choose a vintage pin from Chanel. Their pitch is going well, until Kate says that she knows the woman likes art so this piece should impress her. Anne asks Kate what art it reminds her of. Kate says "Uh, you know pictures and stuff." Actually, she just stands there with a dumb look on her face that says that.

 

Backstabbing in Beverly Hills

Every "90210" Sweet 16 party should include karaoke and the opportunity to make out with a friend's ex.

Happy Birthday, Annie. Payback hurts.

After clumsily trying to keep their relationship under wraps, Annie and Ethan get caught sharing a kiss at school. Poor Naomi bears witness to it all.

"Stylista": Being Nice is for Suckers

Our dear sweet ridiculous Kate has so many parts to play on this
show. Whipping girl. Object of disgust. Whiny punching bag. The girl's
a reality show star!

And so it makes sense that this week
started off with Dyshaun, Megan's evil henchman, fresh from being in
the bottom two, talking smack about Kate. He doesn't think she's Elle
editor material. (This is the guy who mixed up the captions on the
pictures last week.)

"4 Real" : Knowledge that goes down easy

If you're home Sunday at 5:30pm, check out "4Real" a documentary series from Canada airing on the CW.

Host Sol Guy, a Canadian music executive who has worked with Lauryn Hill, P.Diddy, The Roots, Outkast among others, takes different celebrities around the world and introduces them to community leaders who are making change.

The episode I saw featured actor Joaquin Phoenix going deep into the Brazilian rainforest to visit the Yawahawa People of the Amazon. Their young chief Tashka (which coincidentally means Joaquin) has helped bring his people from the brink of extinction.

Besides learning about Tashka's achievements, you learn about his
people, their ways and the importance of the rainforest. Wait till you
see Joaquin Phoenix get tobacco blown up his nose.

With its quick cuts, funky graphics and hip stars, the show is obviously aimed toward young people, but there's enough information - given in a very accessible way - to school a more senior viewer. And you'll like it.

This Sunday, the episode features Mos Def in City of God, Brazil. The Joaquin episode airs on Nov. 16. Other adventures feature Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers; rappers M.I.A. and K'NAAN; actresses Cameron Diaz and Eva Mendes, and actor Casey Affleck.

It's scheduled to air from now through Dec. 28.
