Hollywood: The old '90210’ in a texting, upsetting new day

'90210' on The CW

Los Angeles Times

There's a ginormous silver 'N' on the wall behind the center bar at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, which isn't usually there. A blond, pretty adolescent girl vogues for her guests on 15 plasma screens spread throughout the chic two-tier nightclub. Indie pop band Tilly and the Wall has never performed here before, but it does fit in. One hundred or so dolled-up teenagers who wouldn't normally be allowed anywhere near this Sunset Boulevard venue bop to the band. Troublesome.

But tonight Boulevard3 is a set, and this extravaganza of millionaire proportions is a Sweet 16 celebration for Beverly Hills queen bee Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord). As the band grooves, Naomi greets Internet celebrity-party girl Cory Kennedy and her photographer pal, the Cobrasnake (who play themselves), and the truth is revealed: This is not your mama's drama.

This is '90210,' the CW spinoff, and, boy, is it au courant: The pivotal moment in this scene involves a betrayal exposed by Sidekick, captured on video by TMZish high school journalist Navid Shirazi (Michael Steger). The party's decadence is one thing, but Cory and Tilly and the Wall in the same room? Ridiculous! (And we thought Dylan McKay was cool.)

Sagarika strikes yet another goal

Sagarika Ghatge

Sagarika Ghatge was the highest goal-scorer in 'Chak De India' and in real life too, she seems to be the highest goal-scorer among all the other girls in her team. The gorgeous actress has been signed by Percept Picture Company for their film 'Raftaar' (working title) to be directed by noted ad filmmaker Shamin Desai. The film also has Neha Dhupia and Aditya Pancholi in pivotal roles and Sagarika has been paired against Bollywood's serial kisser Emraan Hashmi. Shooting for the film is currently underway in Kuala Lumpur and the film is expected to release sometime early next year.

Inside sources say that for this role, Esha Deol was the first choice but she seemed to have asked for a high price. Sarita Patil, Head of feature films at Percept Picture Company, confirms the news saying, "Yes we have signed Sagarika for Raftaar. She has replaced Esha Deol as we couldn't agree on the price. After things didn't work out with Esha, we had a couple of options in mind and our director Shamin had seen Sagarika's work in Chak De India and felt she would fit the part. Sagarika's is a full-fledged lead role opposite Emraan Hashmi." - Agency
