An avid supporter of Gay and Lesbian Rights, Jennie Garth was spotted holding a “Vote No on Prop 8” sign on the Los Angeles set of “90210” yesterday (November 7).
The mother of three proudly displayed her statement while looking hot in a sleeveless red top and black trousers, although her sentiments came a little late - as Proposition 8 was passed in Tuesday’s election.
Jennie Garth seems to be having some problems in her marriage. It could be nothing, but in a recent interview with OK! Magazine she talks about “making her marriage work” and how “divorce is not an option” and there’s always other, more attractive people in Hollywood. Somehow she tries to frame it in a positive light, but really it comes off more as an alarm bell than anything else.
Keeping her family together is the number one priority for 90210 star Jennie Garth. The actress, 36, who has been married to Twilight hottie Peter Facinelli for seven years, tells OK! that when it comes to making her marriage work, it’s about the little things.
“Today I went to Coffee Bean and got him a drink — just keeping your partner in mind,” Garth says. “In this industry, there’s always going to be someone more beautiful out there. It’s easy to be tempted. I’m not interested in taking the easy way out. Divorce is not an option for us. I want to be with my family.”
Speaking of family, Jennie and Peter have three adorable daughters, Luca Bella, 11, Lola Ray, 5, and Fiona Eve, 2. Three kids is a lot by anyone’s standards let alone two working Hollywood parents. But Jennie says she’d love more kids.
“Will you talk to my husband for me please?” she jokes. “I want to have a baby or adopt. My body keeps telling me to have babies.”

I’m assuming Jennie means that divorce is not an option in THIS marriage, not that divorce isn’t an option for her - because she’s been divorced before. There’s also some speculation that she cheated on her first husband with her current husband. It’s hard to tell because the ending of her first marriage and beginning of her relationship with Facinelli both occurred in 1995, and she got pregnant with their first child in September of 1996, before her divorce from first husband Daniel Clark was finalized.
The whole, “It’s easy to be tempted” line is sort of asking for trouble. Why in the world would you say that to OK Magazine? And why tell them how you’re NOT getting divorced – unless you’re trying to head off rumors? Hopefully Jennie and Peter are fine and it was just poor phrasing or something on her part.

Spending some time with her beautiful daughters Luca Bella (11) and Lola Ray (6), Jennie Garth was spotted exiting a medical building in Los Angels yesterday (November 6).
The “90210” hottie was looking comfy and casual in a black scoopneck top with white trousers and black sneakers as she held her girls’ hands and walked toward their car.
Shannen Doherty claimed that she had another project in the works and that’s why she couldn’t stay on CW’s 90210 remake beyond her initial four episode commitment. The truth is that she wasn’t wanted back after she showed major attitude and tried to rewrite her lines, reports the Enquirer. In the end, producers decided she was more trouble than she was worth and she got canned:
Fourteen years after she was fired from “Beverly Hills, 90210″ for bad behavior, the show’s given Shannen Doherty the boot again!
The producers of the new “90210″ originally wanted Shannen, 37, to appear for the entire season, but the Enquirer learned she was so difficult on the set that producers gave her the heave-ho as soon as they could…
“She argued with people, hated some of the scripts, and wanted things done her way. She pranced around the set like she owned it and often ordered changes in her dialogue, which cost time and money.
“After the first taping, the brass decided she just wasn’t worth the hassle.”
Many of the cast and crew did not like working with her, according to the insider, and as The Enquirer reported recently, “90210’s” rising young star Shenae Grimes clashed with her immediately.

It seemed like Doherty has changed since her first stint on 90210, but if this report is true she’s just about the same.
Mild 90210 spoiler for a past episode follows
This week it was revealed on the show that Dylan McKay from the first series - played by Luke Perry- was the father of single mom Kelly Taylor’s four year old son. Jennie Garth, who plays guidance counselor Kelly, is one of the staples from the initial show and has signed on for additional episodes.
There was speculation that Perry and old costar Jason Priestley, who played Brandon Walsh, might revise their roles too. Luke Perry has ruled out an appearance however, and Priestley has also declined, according to sources quoted by E! Online. Perry has an upcoming guest role on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and has starring roles in two smaller films out later this year. Priestley has been doing television work and also has a smaller film coming out. They’re both probably hoping to distance themselves from the roles which made them famous in the 90s.

Shannen Doherty won’t film more episodes of the new CW 90210 remake beyond the four she initially signed up for. She says it’s because she’s too busy working on other projects, and of course they wanted her back. Jennie Garth will do at least five more episodes than the six in her contract, though.
Just like Brandon, Dylan, Steve, Colin, and Matt before them, 90210’s producers just can’t get enough of Kelly. So, my sources tell me, they’ve signed Jennie Garth to appear in five episodes on top of the six to which she originally agreed.
So now we’re gonna get the Kelly-Brenda rematch we’ve all been waiting for, right?
Erm, no. Though Shannen Doherty may return later in the season, for now it appears that the first four episodes she signed on for will also be her last (the second of those episodes airs next week). “They asked me to do a lot more,” she says, but “I’m in the middle of pitching a show, [so] I couldn’t commit to more than [I did].”

EW’s Michael Ausiello goes on to recommend that Tori Spelling get some respect and the salary she deserves to be brought back on the show. Rumor had it that Tori was offered just $10-20k per episode but Jennie and Shannen were receiving something like $35-50k an episode. When Tori found out that her pay was significantly lower, she dropped out of the remake. It is thought that she might return around November in time for sweeps. The show is doing well in the ratings, but isn’t fairing as well with critics.
Shannen Doherty told EW Magazine in a joint interview with Jennie Garth a couple of weeks ago that she did not have the fistfight with Jennie that was detailed in Tori Spelling’s now number one book on the nonfiction list, sTori Telling. Doherty dismissed Spelling’s book by saying “I just don’t believe you write personal on-set experiences in a book… In 27 years of acting I’ve never sold out one of my cast members.” Maybe it’s a good thing there’s little chance these two will be working together again.

With the new 90210 spinoff gaining momentum, Jennie Garth has once again found notoriety as her character Kelly Taylor. And yesterday she was spotted doing a promotional photo shoot for the new show.
The 36-year-old actress looked simple-yet-sexy in a conservative blue dress with a yellow belt and a pair of neutral-colored heels as she posed for the camera.
Entertainment Weekly has a new cover story and interview with former feuding 90210 costars Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty, who are back on the new version of the series on The CW as their original characters as adults. Both Garth and Doherty say they had no problems working together despite their conflicts in the past and that they’ve grown up considerably. As for their on-set fights, they say that there wasn’t the fistfight that Tori Spelling detailed in her book sTori Telling, and Doherty adds that that Tori sold her out by portraying her so negatively in that book and that she would never do that to a coworker:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: In Tori Spelling’s book sTORI Telling, she tells some pretty harsh stories about you, Shannen. Did you read the book?
DOHERTY: I will censor myself out of respect for Jennie because she’s friends with Tori. I got passages sent to me and a vast majority of it is incredibly exaggerated. Maybe it’s a difference of how I was raised. I just don’t believe you write personal on-set experiences in a book. For me, when you work it’s almost a sacred experience whether you get along with everyone or not. In 27 years of acting I’ve never sold out one of my cast members. Ever. And I will stick to that.ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: In the book it says you two got into a fistfight. That sounds very badass. But is it true?
JENNIE GARTH: A fistfight? That makes us sound so tough.
SHANNEN DOHERTY: I know. Like we were serious gangsters.
GARTH: I didn’t read the book either.ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’re thanked in it.
GARTH: For what? I wonder what I did. I asked Tori if I needed to read it and she said no, I shouldn’t bother.ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, but back to the fistfight: fact or fiction?
GARTH: I don’t think we ever hit each other.
DOHERTY: We had our moments.
GARTH: I just remember being outside and the boys having to try to settle us down.
DOHERTY: No, we never punched each other.
GARTH: Scratching? I’m not going to deny that.

The two say they’re pretty surprised at the racy direction the show is going in, and that it’s a departure from what they’re used to with the show. Both of them had input into their characters, though, and are pleased that they’ve matured and are in successful careers. One plot point they vetoed would have involved a love triangle between their characters fighting for a guy. Garth and Doherty say they’ve already done that and don’t think their characters would be in that place now:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: There is a rumor that in this new 90210, Kelly and Brenda will be fighting over the slightly Dylan-esque bad-boy English teacher, Ryan Matthews. Are we really going to see Kelly and Brenda fight over another guy?
DOHERTY: I would not do that.
GARTH: People want that. They want that love triangle because that’s what they’re comfortable with with us. But it’s not happening.
DOHERTY: That was one of the things I was adamant about: Brenda Walsh would not fight for a guy anymore. There are bigger, more important things in her life. Besides, I encourage [Kelly] to date Ryan. I offer to babysit.
GARTH: All those people who wrote the ”I Hate Brenda” newsletter are going to get mad at me now, like ”Why are you leaving your child with Brenda?”
DOHERTY: Hopefully those people have grown up.
GARTH: I doubt it.

Doherty came off as mature but tough in this interview. She’s gone through a lot in her personal life, and says she didn’t really like her character Brenda Walsh and the way she behaved on the old 90210. Doherty acknowledges how much she owes her fans and says that she’s willing to play Brenda again and it’s a kind of thank you to her fans for her past success. “At some point it hit me that this is what the fans wanted. They put a roof over my head. They allow me to eat and to feed my dogs. The only reason I survive is because of them. If there’s one way to possibly say thank you, it is to go back and play a character that you never even liked yourself.”
Doherty likely needs the work too, and I wouldn’t guess that she has a lot of offers coming in. She did Charmed, Scare Tactics, North Shore, and Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty, but nothing really lasted for her.
The new 90210 will premiere on The CW network on September 2.

They’ve surprisingly teamed back up for the small screen, and last night Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth joined the cast of the CW’s “90210” to toast the teen drama’s return to television.
Partying it up at a posh invitation-only beachside premiere party, Garth and Doherty took turns posing on the blue carpet before mingling with fellow attendees.
The hype is building but will the new 90210 disappoint? Check out the second half of this post for a clue. But meanwhile Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty have shot their first scene together as Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh for the 90210 redux. And all went well according to TV Guide! Not bad considering Tori Spelling revealed in her upcoming autobiography that Doherty and Garth once had a fistfight.
Jennie tells the TV Guide: “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’m not much of a small talker, and I don’t think she is either. I was a little nervous because I hadn’t seen or talked to her in 14 years. Everyone was making it out to be such a big deal that I think we both fell prey to having that affect us.”
Garth also said that she’s cautiously optimistic about their future saying: “I think it will be OK. We’re both grown women, both professionals. Once we were working, it felt like a good fit.”
Jennie also fought back tears when she admitted disappointment that Tori Spelling isn’t part of the ‘reunion’. Tori is refusing to appear, reportedly because Jenny and Shannen are being paid double what she was offered.
Garth says: “I know Shannen probably doesn’t share the feelings that I have for Tori, but I love Tori like my sister” and encourages fans to launch a “Bring Back Donna Martin” campaign.
Ryan Eggold, who plays a love interest for both Kelly and Brenda on 90210, described the encounter between Garth and Doherty as “very interesting.”
He tells: “Everybody was on pins and needles and sort of waiting to see how they’d react. They started off kind of tentative, but by the time we were five takes in, they were giggling and seemed to be reconnecting.”
Meanwhile 90210, premieres September 2nd. But the network has decided not to send out screeners for the show to reporters and critics. Typically networks send out copies before a show’s premiere for early reviews. Does that mean the show sucks?
The network claims it’s a “strategic marketing decision.” They went on to say, “We’re not hiding anything . We’re simply keeping a lid on 90210 until 9.02 (the date of the premiere), riding the curiosity and anticipation into premiere night, and letting all our constituents see it at the same time.”
Brenda and Kelly are back! They may look all grown up and mature walking down the halls of West Beverly High, but just wait until about mid-season; that’s when the off-camera claws will come out. These new girls have no idea what they are in for! They all better hope they don’t outshine Shannen Doherty…she’s not above pulling rank and having someone fired. Or at least trying to, just ask Alyssa Milano. Here’s to hopeing that this is one show she doesn’t quit or get fired from.
Check out Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth together again in this new promo for the new 90210 premiering on September 2nd. It’s a quick ‘don’t-blink’ peek but it’s like, monumental or something to see them together again, right?
It would have been better if Tori Spelling was back too…but don’t count Donna Martin out, ya’ll. She’s like a cockroach.
Back in the 1990s “Beverly Hills 90210” was the show that jump-started her career. And many years later, Jennie Garth is getting back to her roots with a new spin-off.
Spotted on the set of “90210: The Next Generation,” Garth looked excited to be navigating her way through familiar territory. In the new show, she plays a teacher at her alma mater West Beverly High.
Ok, you know that. But Kelly Taylor is coming back! Praise Jaysus! Jennie Garth will reprise her role as West Beverly High's second biggest bitch in the 90210 spinoff coming to the CW. If they can do a storyline as random and awesome as when she got caught in the fire with the lesbian, I am so onboard for this one.
Kelly Taylor will apparently be working as guidance counselor at West Beverly High in the new show. Can you imagine her guidance?
"Listen, young lady, I was raped, shot, joined a cult, burned, had amnesia, was taken hostage by a psychotic roommate and did some teen modeling. I know you're nervous about what college you're going to get into, but get over yourself. You don't know what drama is."
Jennie dropped out of a CBS pilot last month to do this show. Smart. You know the rest of the old cast is chomping at the friggin' bit to get a part in this crap. Except for Hilary Swank. I think she's all set.
If the new show can have scenes as 1/2 as cheesy as when Dylan and Kelly told Brenda they were banging, it will be amazing.
She may be best known as Kelly Taylor from “Beverly Hills 90210,” but Jennie Garth’s three daughters know her best as ‘mommy.’
And that’s the role Garth was spotted playing yesterday, along with hubby Peter Facinelli. The happy couple, along with daughters Lola Ray and Fiona Eve, was seen dropping off their eldest daughter, Luca, at school.
Don't you dare tease me, Rob Thomas! The Veronica Mars producer is readying a spin-off of 90210 and if that wasn't hot enough, now it looks like Kelly Taylor might be on board! Jennie Garth has pulled out of a sitcom project, sparking rumors that she's making the move to reprise her more favorite role. Garth played Kelly Taylor, the queen of West Beverly!
Sources say that Garth exited CBS' My Best Friend's Girlon Monday after only the first table read. Garth may have left because she's been dealing with the recent death of her Dad. But it's also been reported that they might bring Kelly Taylor back as West Beverly's fashion design teacher.
Wait, wasn't Donna Martin the fashion designer? And Kelly was...was she a model? A model with burns from that fire with the lesbian? They better stick to continuity! I want Jackie Taylor making appearances, and Erin and Mel Silver the dentist and at least one visit from Dylan's Mom Iris! Wait, will Dylan be on? Oh god, I think I just achieved orgasm.

Having celebrity-studded charity events accomplishes two very important objectives- first, the charities benefit from having such beautiful, influential people gather around their cause; and second, it gives stars an excuse to get all gussied up!
And Jennie Garth was looking positively precious at the National Kidney Foundation’s “KEEP it Hollywood” event last night in Los Angeles, California. She wore a peach-colored tank top and a white embroidered skirt, along with some chunky heels and a big smile.

Jennie Garth on the set of Dancing with the Stars
Viewers were almost treated to a real show during a recent taping of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Mike Walker has more:
Gorgeous Jennie Garth nearly took a page out of Britney Spears’ Songbook For Skanks when she headed onstage to kick up her heels on Dancing with the Stars, then suddenly stopped and shrieked: “OMIGOD!… I forgot to put on my undies!” Beating a hasty retreat back to her dressing room, the ex-90210 star emerged moments later and giggled to production staffers: “I can’t believe I almost went out there and did the tango without my underwear…but NOW I’m ready!” (Source)
Thank god she put her panties on in time! I’m guessing since she’s squeezed out two kids already, her hoohoo looks something like a cross between an old shoe and a six inch cold cut combo from Subway. Just the thought of it is turning me into a vegetarian . . . just kidding, I’m not gay.
