Jennie Garth loves Crocs

Look what Jenny Garth has inflicted on her family. I mourn for them all.

Jennie Garth is obsessed with Twilight

Look! Another (tenuous) connection between 90210 and Twilight! (The other being Ryan Eggold’s hypothetical romance with Ashley Greene, who is in the upcoming movie.)

Peter Facinelli, Jenny Garth’s husband, will be playing Carlisle in the upcoming movie. In a recent interview, he talked about how he, and his whole family, are hooked on the novels: “My wife started reading them after I got the part, and she’s on book four now. She literally read one after the other after the other just staying up till two in the morning. She literally couldn’t put it down till she had to just pass out. I read the first three because I wanted to get a good sense of Carlisle Cullen. But now Jennie’s got Breaking Dawn and she’s not giving it up.”

Outfit check: Jennie Garth at Miley Cyrus’ Sweet 16

So Miley Cyrus got to close down Disneyland for her own private Sweet 16 Birthday party and charged her guests about $250 a ticket to come party with her. Which, well, nice if you can get it. The kind of antics I’d like to see more of from 90210 characters. Anyway, Jennie Garth came and brought her whole adorable family with her, but forgot to bother to get dressed before leaving the house. This outfit is 900% sloppy and conveys the message “I really would rather have stayed at home tonight but I guess I have to take my kids to this Disneyland bonanza thingie so how about some tights and sloppy boots?” She at least looks cute with her kids and husband.

Overall: D for Didn’t even try.

Jennie Garth: hotter than Jaslene?

Remember that Alice + Olivia dress that Jennie wore to some benefit or other that was actually cute except for the jarring yellow belt? Well apparently America’s Next Top Model Jaslene wore the same dress out somewhere in NYC except she wore a really weird coat over it. Some site is comparing the two and asking readers to vote on who looked better – and Jennie is winning despite her 10+ year advantage over Jaslene. Guess people really hate Jaslene.

Outfit Check: Jennie Garth at March of Dimes

Here’s Jennie at a benefit for the March of Dimes, looking pretty ok.

• She’s wearing an Alice + Olivia dress that comes with that yellow belt. While I’m fond of the brand in general, this dress doesn’t totally do it for me. I do not like the yellow belt. I, in fact, hate the yellow belt.
• Can someone please tell actresses that just because there are pockets on a dress, it does not mean that they MUST put their hands in said pockets, especially when being photographed? I would like a ban on hands in pockets in photos, please.
• Nice red pumps, especially with the dress. If only that belt weren’t there!

I would rather have seen her in something like this sweater from Alice + Olivia with a pencil skirt – and she could even have worn the yellow belt.

Overall: C+

Jennie Garth loves the earth

Jennie Garth “designed” a reusable cotton bag to help you save the earth instead of putting your macrobiotic groceries in evil plastic bags. The bag is for sale online, at $3.65 of the $10 cost will be donated to the Sierra Club. Positive, but largely meaningless. Go Jennie!

Jessica Stroup is a pro

Here’s Jessica on working with the returning 90210 cast:

Jennie Garth: “Coming from where I’m from, I love my privacy and security and my friends, but being in the entertainment industry, I have to understand that I’ve never hit a mark where the press wants to know who I am. I welcome it, and I’m excited about it, and hopefully it means that I’m doing good work. I talked to Jennie about it. On one of our longest days, I was kind of in a daze in the makeup and hair trailer and she came over and said “You know, kid, you’re doing great and I’m proud of you, and I’m excited to work on the show with you.” So she’s kind of like a big sister to in me in real life.”

Shannen Doherty: “Shannen is hilarious. At our launch party, she came in, and people were wondering, “Where’s the drama?” There is no drama; they’re over it. I love hanging out with Shannen; she just cracks me up.”

That’s how you do it, SHENAE.

Shannen still sucks

Would anyone know who Shannen Doherty was if she hadn’t been on 90210? She’d done a little bit of Little House on the Prairie and Our House, but wasn’t anything close to being a star when she got cast on the original show. Everything she’s done since then was based on her 90210 fame, including her stint on Charmed. So why can’t she just get it together to stay on the new 90210???

Well, she can’t. Per EW, she signed on for only 4 episodes – and yes, the 5 minutes of screen time she had in ep 2 counts as one of those episodes – and will not sign on to any more. Jenny Garth originally was signed to do 6 episodes and just signed to do at least 5 in addition to the original 6. Shannen, although she’s apparently been asked by the producers to sign on for additional episodes, “couldn’t commit to more” because she’s “in the middle of pitching a show.”

WHAT POSSIBLE SHOW. How to use bangs to camoflauge a wonky eye? How to alienate fellow cast members and producers? A retrospective of the unfortunate men she’s been with? THERE IS NO SHOW THAT COULD BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO HER THAN THIS ONE.

There is a possibility that it’s because she doesn’t seem to be all that popular on the current set, especially with Ms. Goody Goody Shenae, who I am starting to dislike almost as much as I do her character. A source told the National Enquirer that ““(Shenae) actually referred to Shannen as an ‘effin bitch’ and said from the first moment Shannen walked onto the set she’s been acting like she’s special. Shenae was saying that Shannen talks down to the costume designers and caterers like they’re her servants and prances around the set like she’s Hollywood royalty.”

First of all, Shannen should pop that girl right in the mouth. Shannen IS special. Second of all, shape up, Shannen, and stop making me agree with this awful Shenae girl. This is your best shot. Get with it.

90210 ep 3: Lucky Strike

in this episode: Wilson family demonstrates their strong midwestern values to the envy of hollywood folk; Jessie Spano’s inner pain is revealed before we even have established her as a megabitch; Silver is a wuss and can’t handle some mild Jackie Taylor behavior; and Brenda doesn’t even show up.

Full recap after the jump…
