I saw several editors wobble a bit from the crush of the photographers (and yes, I was taking pictures too). But really? I think that Jessica Stroup from the new 90210 is lovely, but a budding actress should never steal the spotlight from the fab juxtaposition of 5-inch platform booties against billowing chiffon. It just isn’t right. It’s time for the clothes to take center stage again. (eonline)
At Badgley, Shenae Grimes Learns a Hard Lesson About Arriving Late
The first thing that leaped out at us Tuesday morning at Badgley Mischka was the fact that adjacent seats had been reserved for 90210’s Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes. Our evil hearts leaped: We’d get a prime glimpse of the dynamic between the two co-stars, probably be able to interpret whether one secretly wants to throttle the other, and maybe, just maybe, answer our burning curiosity about how much of Grimes’s prodigious mane is actual real hair. Licking our chops, we settled in to observe.
Stroup arrived first, shortly after Kellie Pickler. “Oh, look, Pickler’s out again. Woo,” deadpanned a photographer. But she looked a thousand percent better than when we spied her at BCBG, having scrapped the electrocution-themed coif in favor of tamer straight locks and looking tiny but great in a gold sparkly dress. She and Stroup sat down together and both promptly did a quick boob check to make sure nothing had bounced astray — clearly Stroup is getting the hang of this fame thing — before posing together for pictures.
Stroup, clad in a strapless white number with bust beading and a floaty ruffled skirt, told reporters she picked her dress (out of a large collection sent to her) because “it reminds me of a bird, and both my tattoos are birds.” She then explained she readied for the 10 a.m. show by waking at seven, showering, and then welcoming in her glam squad. “I had a whole team come in, I have steamers in my room, piles of shoes on the floor, racks of clothes — it’s like a girl’s idea of paradise,” she said. Whipping out our smelling salts to keep from fainting with closet envy, we heard her talk about leaving soon: “I love New York, but I have GOT to get some sleep!” Sing it, sister.
Guess who the first ladies were to appear on red carpet at tonight’s 2009 People’s Choice Awards? That’s right, 90210 hotties Jennie Garth, Jessica Stroup, Lori Loughlin, and AnnaLynne McCord. Jennie covered up and stayed sophisticated in a black shift dress. Jessica dared to be bold in a funky Herve Leger. Lori exuded chic in a sheer ivory number. Finally, AnnaLynne played the siren in a body-hugging gray mini dress. Which TV star is most Fab?

LIKE the privileged teens at the couture-clad center of “90210,” the high school soap has spent much of the first season grappling with growing pains.
“I still see the show as one that’s finding itself,” star Lori Loughlin tells The Post. “We’re going through transitions – with writers and storylines – but we’re getting there. It’s simply indicative of a first-year show.”
Sadly, Loughlin’s character – Debbie Wilson, matriarch of the neo-Walsh family – has been the one short-changed most often, thanks to plots that mainly use her as a sounding board for kids Annie and Dixon.
“I’d hate to think this is it for her,” Loughlin says of Debbie’s lackluster arc thus far. “I’d love to see more conflict in her life, I’d love to see her and Harry come against obstacles that real couples deal with – the days when the bloom is off the rose.”
It sounds like Loughlin is going to be getting her wish starting with tonight’s episode, which makes the Wilson home ground zero for a major family disaster.
“[Harry's illegitimate son is] now in our lives and Annie has overheard something that lets us know that two plus two isn’t adding up to four with this guy,” Loughlin teases. “But Harry’s accepted him and Debbie supports Annie, which puts them up against one another for the first time.”
And Loughlin is hoping that after spending 11 episodes functioning as “90210’s” pseudo-Donna Reed, this jolt of creative electricity isn’t short-lived.
