Shenae Grimes as Annie Mills
Because it’s never too early to get to know the next group of tabloid fodder CW stars, this TV Addict thought you’d all enjoy a first look at the new Cast of 90210: THE NEXT GENERATION. Or Version 2.0. Seriously, can we get an official title already!

If you had told me a few years ago that 90210 would be getting the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA re-imagination treatment. I probably would have responded with a, “whatcha frakin’ talkin’ about willis?”
However, with the CW in desperate need of a mammoth sized hit to help propel them out of the ratings cellar, here we are in. Saturday morning at the 2008 Television Critics Association Press Tour, getting introduced to the cast and creative team of 90210 Version 2.0.
Yet rather than dismiss this last ditch effort to save a struggling network, I’m going to surprise you all by thinking positive. For one, the CW has entrusted the 90210 re-boot to Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah. Two of the brains behind the brilliant-but-cancelled FREAKS AND GEEKS. And two, Jessica Walter, otherwise known as the drink-swilling, acid-tongued Bluth matriarch from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT has been cast as, you guessed it — the Mills family matriarch. The difference, according to Walters, “Well, Lucille liked vodka, and Tabitha likes scotch.”

Taking a page from the REEL Addict, this TV Addict thought he’d not only take a moment to wish my fellow Canadians a wonderful Canada Day. But use this opportunity to shamelessly highlight some of Canada’s best and brightest that Canada has to offer when it comes to small screen entertainment.
Emily VanCamp
While this TV Addict could spend hours gushing over the brilliance that was Emily VanCamp on EVERWOOD [see clip], not to mention the shock wave her ‘Other’ Walker sent through the BROTHERS & SISTERS household. We’d rather congratulate VanCamp for doing so while remaining Tabloid-free and a shining example for how Bright Young Hollywood should conduct themselves. Here’s hoping our next girl on the list is taking notes.
Shenae Grimes
If you’re reading this and asking yourself, “Shenae who?” Flash forward to Fall 2008, when the CW takes the wraps off its highly anticipated return to this TV Addict’s favorite zip code: 90210.
Tahmoh Penikett
The number one sign you’ve made a good first impression in Hollywood: When your one-note performance in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA’S miniseries was so intriguing that producers went out of their way to create an entire subplot based around your characters adventure. The second, catching the eye of Joss Whedon and earning a spot in his highly anticipated new series DOLLHOUSE. January 2009 can’t come soon enough.

Yesterday, 90210 stars Shenae Grimes and Rob Estes made a surprise appearance at Global TV’s 2008 UpFront in Toronto to promote the return of everybody’s favorite zip code. Simply press play to enjoy your first look at what will undoubtedly be this TV Addict’s favorite father/daughter duo of the fall.

Because it’s never too early to get excited for the fall season, here’s a first look at the CW’s new take on 90210.
The promo promises “Cooler,” “Sexier” and “More provocative!” And thus far we the TV Addict like what we’re seeing. Shenea Grimes is completely believable as Lori Loughlin’s daughter, and having loved this past [slightly crazed] season of NIP/TUCK, nobody does sexy evil like AnnaLynne McCord.
That said, not everything is copacetic in our favorite zip code. If we may humbly offer up one suggestion, the show’s tag-line “You want to live in the zip… you got to live by the code” has to go!

On Tuesday morning at 5:30AM your TV Addict left Toronto with a mission. Meet fellow Canadian and 90210 star Shenae Grimes and snag some pics with the cast of GOSSIP GIRL. Well, I’m happy to report — Mission Accomplished. In fact, it was almost too easy.
While the stars from established shows such as GOSSIP GIRL, AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL and ONE TREE HILL were otherwise occupied talking to reporters on the CW’s red green carpet, there they were. Unassumingly chatting it up in the middle of the tent at Lincoln Centre — television’s next ‘it’ cast — Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup, Dustin Milligan, Tristan Wilds and Michael Steger. So young and naive they didn’t even realize that they should actually be hanging out on the other side of the rope line.
My ‘reporter instincts’ quickly kicked in. I sensed I had about five minutes before the tent filled up with curious onlookers and the cast was quickly shepherded off to safety the ‘celebrity—only’ area. So in the same manner in which a Lion might approach an unsuspecting Gazelle that had separated from the pack, your TV Addict pounced!

The news from America’s most famous zip code keeps getting better.
Our sources, and by ’sources’ this TV Addict is of course referring to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello just broke the news that ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT alum Jessica Walter has been tapped to play fading 70’s movie starlet/current booze hound Tabitha Mills on the CW’s much hyped 90210 re-boot.
Also joining the cast is current DEGRASSI star and fellow Canadian Shenae Grimes. Grimes will play Annie Mills, the beautiful and naive sixteen year old who undoubtedly becomes hot the moment she ditches her theatre-loving persona and meets whomever the show decides to cast as Dylan McKay ‘the bad boy’.
Lori Loughlin, Jessica Walter and Shenae Grimes. Is anyone else getting as excited for fall as I am?
