Jessica Stroup & Dustin Milligan – cute couple?

Here’s Jessica Stroup and Dustin Milligan at the incomprehensible Kitson event. And, um. I guess I just don’t find him all that attractive – he looks like a doofus high school kid. And she has on enough makeup to clothe a third world family for three weeks or so. Making her look like an overdone socialite and him look like a child who incidentally seems to wear the exact same thing every time he leaves the house. All together, I’m not sure it works.

Cast bonding session

Let’s all go to an LA Kings game! It’ll be fun! We can hang out and totally bond! We love wearing parkas! So thought the cast as they headed to the Kings v San Jose Sharks game at the Staples Center on October 12th. Love Jessica Stroup’s jaw dropped in shock. Yes, Jess, they hit hard.

Outfit check: Dustin Milligan at Target event

Um, yeah, Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes, this guy is TOTALLY worth fighting over. I mean, look how well he dresses himself!!

• Tuck in your shirt, button your top button, and straighten and tighten your tie. Alternatively, don’t wear a tie if you don’t want to wear it correctly. This middle ground looks like you’re a boarding school slacker who is barely complying with dress code so he can go to the cafeteria for some munchies. IE not a good look.
• See also your stupid shoes. Which appear to be untied. Do you not know how to tie your shoes? And if you’re going to wear sneakers, you should really get some Jordans with the new colorways or something other than these skate shoes from 4 years ago that you’ve been wearing through puddles since then.
• Um what is in your hand.

Overall: incomplete – please try again and this time remember that when you go outside people can see you.

Outfit check: the boys at Secret Life of Bees premiere

Here’s the boys – Tristan Wilds, Dustin Milligan, and Ryan Eggold – at the premiere for The Secret Life of Bees, which Tristan is in. Nice of the other two to come out and support him, which gives the impression that at least the men on this show can get along with each other off the set. (I’m looking at YOU, Shenae the troublemaker.) And they all look relatively well, although their varying levels of formality make it look like they’re about to split up and go to three separate events.

• Dustin, have fun going to the common room at your dorm at an exclusive east coast boarding school with other preppy boys whose fathers are capitans of industry or something. Hope you get all the studying done for your chem test tomorrow! Don’t get distracted planning pranks with the other boys in the dorm! If you actually want to go inside to the premiere, I would recommend putting on something other than a grubby undershirt and slouchy rolled up button up sleeves.
• Tristan! Congrats on your movie! Did you know that you are not in Entourage? Nor are you attending a funeral or a fancy awards show? Dressing up is fine, but all black and all shiny is waaaay too much. Chill out with your satin lapels, man.
• Ryan actually looks appropriate, primarily because someone has managed to bodily separate him from the vest he loves so much he has worn it to every previous public appearance. Now if only someone could talk to him about this newfangled invention called a razor….

Overall: A for comraderie, C for (lack of) coordination.

Shenae and Jessica fighting over Dustin

A few weeks back, photos surfaced of Dustin Milligan (Ethan) leaving Jessica Stroup’s (Silver) house early in the morning and them smoooching in the street.

Apparently, Miss This Is My Show and I Am Queen Shenae has gotten pissed that Jessica has a man and she doesn’t. Per hotornotgossip:

“Jessica and Dustin are obviously dating and Shenae doesn’t want that – She always needs to be the center of attention! She’s been flirting with Dustin on and off the set in front of Jessica and it’s pissing her off… Dustin doesn’t like her, but Shenae won’t stop. You can see the tension between her and Jessica once the cameras stop rolling!!”

First, this is not a guy worth fighting over. He’s Canadian, for god’s sake. Second, Shenae, you are the suckiest person on the show – even more sucky than Naomi and Lori Laughlin, which is saying A LOT. You are not entitled to your choice of male actors. You, in fact, are not entitled to anything but a kick in the face.

Dustin Milligan + Jessica Stroup, sitting in a tree

So while Dustin seems pretty boring on the show, as Ethan, he is apparently interesting enough to bag Jessica Stroup. Here’s some photos of him leaving her house on the morning of September 17, 2008, after spending the night. Perhaps they were just recreating the slumber party episode from BH90210? (photos and story courtesy dustin-milligan.net)

Dustin Milligan – he’s just like us!

Here’s Dustin Milligan taking out the trash in LA on Sept. 17, 2008. Personally, I wait until I have a lot more trash before I take it out, so technically Dustin is not just like me. YMMV.

Cast out and about in LA

Via Defamer, who has this news because when people see the 90210 cast out in the world they email Defamer and not me, here’s two reports of cast sightings:

Sunday, Sept. 14: Saw that guy who plays Ethan (DUSTIN MILLIGAN) and that girl who plays Silver (JESSICA STROUP) on the new version of 90210 having lunch together at Mani’s on Fairfax. In this case, lunch meaning that he was eating while she watched.

Monday, Sept 15: Saw the new Brenda (SHENAE GRIMES) and Naomi (ANNALYNNE MCCORD, who incidentally makes me ache for Tori’s acting chops) last night at the Belmont. New Brenda is as shockingly adorable in person as on TV but was completely sans trademark smile and actually appeared pouty and pissed at times. She and the even-less-beautiful-in-person Naomi (the new Emily Valentine?), who has overgelled 90’s hair and is clearly skinnier than her own body type would prefer, were feverishly chain smoking. They were also HARDcore flirting with their waiter, the only guy there more interested in them than the cowboys and eagles. Between packs of cigarettes the girls were, yep, drinking. I’ll save you the trouble of looking it up: New Brenda’s only 18. Oooooo! I hope new Jim and Aunt Becky don’t find out, new 90210 is boring enough without old 90210‘s lesson-learned moralizing.

Dustin Milligan a gigalo?

Dustin Milligan (Ethan) just signed on to star in the next Mike Judge movie. Judge, who did Beavis & Butthead, Kind of the Hill, and Idiocracy, is planning a new comedy called Extract.

The project, set to be distributed by Miramax, features Jason Bateman as the owner of flower-extract plant. When he becomes convinced that his wife (Kristen Wiig) is cheating on him, he decides to test her fidelity by hiring an aspiring gigolo (Milligan) to seduce her.

I’m having a little trouble imagining this, but if Jason Bateman and Kristen Wiig are in it, the movie will be delightful even if Milligan sucks.
