Jennie Garth ‘tweets’ about fate of ’90210′ mom

Monday, September 28th, 2009

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.

Returning back to 90210?

Monday, July 27th, 2009

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.

Jennie Garth Opens Up About Health Problem

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Jennie Garth has been hiding a health secret from her fans – she was diagnosed with a “leaky” heart valve seven years ago.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken out about her medical issues after mourning her father, who passed away last year (08) after battling heart disease for years.

She tells news show Access Hollywood, “I have a leaky valve and it’s a common thing. A lot of people have it and they don’t know they have it… (It) leaks blood.

It’s your connection to your heart… your artery, the main artery that goes to your heart. It sort of flutters open and shut… It’s weird because sometimes when I’m resting I can feel a little weird fluttering.”

But she insists it’s nothing to worry about for now: “Down the road it’s something that could get more complicated or it could not. People have had valve replacements and that kind of thing.”

90210′s Jennie Garth Opens Up About Heart Probs

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Jennie Garth is speaking from the heart…about her heart.

The 90210 star has opened up about a cardiopulmonary disease she’s been facing quietly for the past seven years.

“I have a leaky valve,” she told Access Hollywood at an American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women BetterU Program event. “It’s a common thing. A lot of people have it. They don’t know they have it…It’s your connection to your heart…your artery, the main artery that goes to your heart, it sort of flutters open and shut sort of a thing. It’s weird because sometimes when I’m resting I can feel a little weird fluttering.”

The actress hasn’t allowed the disease to keep her from an active life.

In addition to playing a guidance counselor on TV and mother of three at home, she’s involved in multiple heart health charities. E! News caught up with her and her husband, Twilight’s Peter Facinelli, earlier this year at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection fashion show, where she admitted she had “a lot of support backstage” from the other stars involved in the event.

Heart problems have been a source of trouble in Garth’s whole family. The star’s father died of heart disease last year.

“I’ve been affected by heart disease practically my whole life,” the erstwhile Kelly Taylor said. “My father has struggled with heart disease since he was 50, and I lost him a year ago.”

Jennie Garth Hits Disneyland With Bandaged Foot

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Jennie Garth turned up at Disneyland on Friday with a bandaged up right foot, the result of a home injury earlier this week.

The “90210” star and her family – husband and “New Moon” star Peter Facinelli – and their children, hit the park on Friday where the couple poked fun at her bandaged foot.

Peter held up a “Cinderella”-style glass slipper to Jennie’s bandaged foot for the photos, taken at the Anaheim, Calif., amusement park.

Jennie reportedly hurt her foot earlier this week when she placed it wrongly on the last step on her home staircase.

But it appears Jennie’s fall will not affect production on her show “90210,” which her rep confirmed is not filming at present.

Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling: Just Like Old Times

Friday, February 20th, 2009

It’s been nearly 20 years since Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling appeared on Beverly Hills, 90210, but according to the longtime pals, working together on the new 90210 feels just like old times.

“It just feels like it never stopped,” Garth said on the red carpet for The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2009 fashion show in New York City. “But it’s not like we’re living in yesterday; it’s just our lives kept evolving, and here we are again.”

Spelling, who walked the red carpet with Garth, has just wrapped her reprise of the Donna Martin character for the CW series. “I’ve been having a really good time. I’ve been getting to work with Jennie everyday, and the new cast is great,” said Spelling. Donna is reportedly still married to David, but is torn between joining him in Japan, where he works, and opening a clothing boutique in Beverly Hills.

But there is one downside in playing Donna at this point in Spelling’s life. “I hate leaving my kids. When I do my show, I get to be with them, so that’s the one thing I don’t get to do.”

All and all, the two couldn’t be more thrilled about their West Bev reunion. “We have a great time. We’re too silly sometimes,” said Garth. “But we have so many things to talk about and have a lot in common now. It’s like girlfriends.”

What do you think of the Donna-Kelly reunion? Which other alums should board the 90210 nostalgia train?

Married 90210 and Twilight Stars Are Sweet Sweeties

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Eight years of marriage and three kids later, Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli are still like a hot, walking Valentine.

The Twilight star was perched in the front row for the Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection fashion show at Bryant Park in New York City, waiting anxiously for his wife was to strut her stuff in a Badgley Mischka creation.

But as the 90210 queen bee stepped onto the red runway, she didn’t spot her hubby right away.

“Honey, I couldn’t find you when I went at first,” she admitted to him backstage afterward. “I couldn’t find you.”

“Yeah, I didn’t want to throw you off your game,” he said of his subtle whistling throughout her catwalk climb. “I tried not to. Were you nervous? I was totally nervous.”

Scared or not, Facinelli couldn’t hide his appreciation of his wife’s assets. “I look like a street urchin next to my hot wife,” he told a quick-click photographer.

When E! News asked him before the show started if he’d ever seen his wife do a runway show, he responded, “Only in the living room.”

Dare we ask what she was wearing for such an occasion?

“I can’t say,” he laughed.

And, ladies, in case you were wondering, the erstwhile Carlisle Cullen couldn’t give us Robert Pattinson’s phone number either.

She tells Star magazine, “Will you talk to my husband for me please? I want to have a baby or adopt. My body keeps telling me to have babies.”
