Twilight fans may swoon over Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner – but Jennie Garth has the hots for another vamp: Her husband Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen in the film series.

“I always see him as really foxy,” Garth told PEOPLE about her heartthrob husband at the Style n’ Smile event on Thursday in New York City. “I’ve always thought, ‘Wow, I’m super lucky.’ He’s a babe.”

Even after 15 years together, their relationship remains strong – and they have passed their good genes on to their three daughters Luca, 13 Lola, 7 and Fiona, 4.

But that’s not all they have passed on. Garth says that although her kids are exposed to Hollywood life – and beauty expectations – she tries to make sure her kids are confident and have a positive self-image.

“My mom really instilled in me that I’m beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls,” says Garth.

She also leads by example, showing her girls that it’s okay to be silly as long as you feel comfortable with yourself. With years as a teen star under her belt, the former Beverley Hills, 90210 star doesn’t let gossip or fame keep her from being fun or wacky.

“This is me, take it or leave it,” says Garth. “And I hope that by example, I might be showing my girls that it’s all fun.”

Today the AAO is teaming up with actress and mom Jennie Garth, from TV’s 90210, to highlight the latest in back-to-school fashion and orthodontic treatment. Garth will host the AAO Style ‘N Smile Fashion show in New York City.

“As the mother of three children—one of who has just had her braces taken off—and an actress, I know how important a beautiful smile can be,” said Garth. “A healthy, beautiful smile, and the confidence that goes with it, is something that never goes out of style.”

Another children’s book author is coming out of Beverly Hills, 90210!

A week after Tori Spelling announced she was writing her first children’s book, Jennie Garth tells UsMagazine.com that she has signed on to pen some kids’ books as well.

“I just signed a two-book deal to start my own children’s books,” the 37-year-old star told Us at a Milk + Bookies event in L.A. Sunday. “So I’m really excited about that!”

The books, which will be targeted to kids ages 3 to 8, won’t hit bookshelves until February 2011, the mother of three girls — Luca, 12, Lola, 7, and Fiona, 3 — says. Garth says she “can’t really say yet” what the books will be about “because we are still negotiating.”

Garth, who has been married to actor Peter Facinelli since 2001, tells Us that being a mom was all the experience she needed to take on the new gig.

“We are really great parents, if I do say so myself!” she jokes. “We really take it as a full-time commitment and job… We take it very seriously.”

‘90210’ actress Jennie Garth made an appearance on “The Doctors” on Thursday as part of her efforts to promote the importance of children’s oral hygiene.

Garth has been working with Trident and Oral Health America’s Smiles Across America program to help school-age children learn about the importance of oral health care. Garth has led workshops at the Toothfairy Cottage of the Children’s Dental Center of Greater Los Angeles. A video of the actress teaching children firsthand how to brush properly was shown on “The Doctors.”

Garth, who is a mother of three daughters, demonstrated one of her fun tips to get her children interested in brushing their teeth.

The future doesn’t look so well for “90210″ mom, Jackie Taylor, according to rumors and a recent “tweet” by actress Jennie Garth.

Garth, who plays Jackie’s daughter, Kelly Taylor, on the CW teen drama, tweeted on Thursday, “Back at 90210. Things aren’t looking good for Jackie Taylor. Actually filming on original 90210 stages! Weird!“, according to her Twitter page.

There have been rumors circulating that Jackie (actress Ann Gillespie) will be diagnosed with breast cancer and will hope to reconcile with her daughters, Kelly and Erin “Silver” Silver (actress Jessica Stroup).

Gillespie frequently appeared on original teen series, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” in which Garth starred. Both actresses have returned to guest star on the spin-off series, “90210,” which focuses on a new group of teens, including Jackie’s daughter and Kelly’s half sister, Silver.

In season one of “90210,” Jackie returned to her old ways of substance abuse, making her unfit to care for a teen-aged Silver. Kelly, who has dealt with her mother’s ups and downs her whole life, brought her half-sister to live with her instead.

“90210” executive producer Rebecca Sinclair recently spoke in an interview with The Futon Critic’s Jim Halterman about Jackie’s return for season two.

“She’s back and for old fans there will be some big problems between Kelly and her mother that will be some good stuff,” Sinclair said in the interview.

Jackie will return for episode five of season two, “Environmental Hazards,” according to photos on the CW web site. Stay with the 90210 Examiner for the latest on the saga of Jackie, Kelly, and Silver.

“90210” airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. (ET) on the CW network. The spin-off of “Beverly Hills, 90210,” follows a new class at West Beverly Hills High School, including Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes), Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds), Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord), and Silver.

Anybody else wanna be BFFs with Jennie Garth? We caught up with the supersweet 90210 star at the CBS/CW/Showtime party, and she talked season two, love triangles and baby Sammy, with whom she’s shared only a few scenes since the beginning of the show, prompting the star to exclaim, “Kelly’s the worst mother ever!”

Garth also confessed that Kelly Taylor would definitely have more to do in season two with Harry and Debbie Wilson (Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin) and her little sis Silver (Jessica Stroup) and that she never expected to be working with Ann Gillespie, who plays Jackie Silver, 10 years after the original series ended. Press play above to see the cuteness!

Jennie Garth will return to 90210 for its second season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

Garth will re-reprise the role of West Bev guidance counselor Kelly Taylor beginning with Episode 3. Now you might be thinking: Duh, of course she’s back. Why wouldn’t she be? Well, I’m told that one of new showrunner Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair’s mandates from the network was to recalibrate the show away from the old (say, Tori Spelling guest spots) and toward the new.

But no matter. Garth is back and will appear in multiple Season 2 episodes, as it’s rumored to be Kelly who first connects the dots vis-à-vis Annie’s harrowing season-finale joyride.

The new season of the CW’s 90210 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 8/7 CT.

Candace Bushnell, creator of HBO’s Sex and the City and NBC’s Lipstick Jungle, is teaming up with Meredith Corp. and its lifestyle magazine More for a new Web series, The Broadroom.

Written by Bushnell and produced by director Ellen Gittelsohn (Roseanne, Designing Women), The Broadroom will take a humorous look at workplace issues facing women.

Cast members for the show include 90210′s Jennie Garth, and Talia Balsam from Mad Men.

As part of the deal, Bushnell will pen two columns for the September and October issues of Meredith’s More, a lifestyle title targeted at women aged 40-plus.

More editor Lesley Jane Seymour said she hopes the series will become the “next ‘Lipstick Jungle.’”

“It’s funny, and a lot of women will recognize themselves,” she said. “There’s the Millennial and Boomer women, all representative of different crowds we see in business.”

The series is part of a 9-month campaign for Maybelline’s new Color Sensational Lip Color lipstick line
