Weddings, Winners, and the C-Dub

So much gossip this week! The biggest story, of course, is Ashlee Simpson’s Saturday wedding to Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. The two tied the knot at the Simpson’s family home in California, with Jessica Simpson as the maid of honor, and Ashlee’s father Joe performing the service. I love that Joe Simpson found a way to make his daughter’s wedding yet ANOTHER Joe Simpson production. Oy. Many gossip shows and sites are reporting that Ashlee Simpson is pregnant, while others contend the opposite. Honestly, I don’t really care. I hope, for Ashlee’s bebe’s sake, that she’s not (and never becomes so) because you KNOW that baby is gonna get exploited from minute one.

If you watch America’s Next Top Model, then you already know that Whitney Thompson won the season finale of “Cycle 10,” becoming the first ever “plus-sized” model to win the competition. Many speculate that choosing Whitney was some sort of a publicity stunt, though I don’t really get the thought process behind this. Yes, choosing the size 8 blonde as the winner sure does turn a few more heads than usual, but she WAS the prettiest - if a little overdramatic.







Good news for me – Star Jones and Barbara Walters are still at it. After Star talked smack on Barbara for publicizing her affair with a married man in her new book, “Audition,” Barbara Walters took the passive-aggressive route on Larry King saying, “I was very fond of Star…The network wanted to let her go. The ratings were going way down… It took her a long time to get a job…I wish her well.” Took her a long time to get a job? Which we all know tanked in the ratings? Burn Barbara, BURN!

Guess whose back – back again? 90210, bitches! So it is TOTALLY official – 90210 is pulling a complete “Degrassi: The Next Generation!” They’ve even taken one of the Degrassi actresses straight off the set and put her in spotlight. Shanae Grimes – you are a sell out! You are supposed to be Darcy! OK – sorry. Anyway, basically what they’re doing is following the turbulent lives of a fresh crop of 90210 kids and their parents. Of course, some of these kids/parents relate to the original 90210. Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth), for instance, will be the school guidance counselor. And lord KNOWS that bitch can give those kids guidance. Just off the top of my head she’s:

1) Had an eating disorder
2) Been raped
3) Lived through a fire
4) Had a coke problem
5) Dealt with a suicidal stalker (one of my favorite episodes)
6) Stolen her BFF’s boyfriend
7) Dealt with Valerie AND Brenda

Anyway, if you really want to know more about 90210: The Next Generation (as I’m calling it for now) then watch the below video which is the CW’s just-released promo. I’m not gonna lie – this fall, I’m totally tuning in. It will probably be over the top and ridiculous, and that’s JUST how I like my teen dramas served up. Oh, and fingers crossed for some guest appearances by James Eckhouse and Joe E. Tata.
