by special guest reviewer, Carolyn Kellogg Watching the second season of 90210 is Euphoria. Make that Ecstacy. Make that U4EA. Aw, heck, put that DVD in and let's go. When it comes to TV series about bratty So Cal high schoolers, 90210 is OG to The OC. Season one started with a classic hook: normal teen bro-and-sis from Minnesota find themselves attending Beverly Hills High when Dad gets a new job. Realism it wasn't......

Say goodbye to Joan Beamin and Barri Martin. After two seasons the genius programming execs at Oxygen have decided to cancel their best show (read: their only watchable show), Campus Ladies. In the latest season the always amusing Campus Ladies had hit its stride with tighter yet more complex narrative arcs, funnier set-ups, a beefed up role for the already strong supporting cast of Amir Talai, Derek Carter and Miranda Kent, and a constant slew......

Nicole Richie is hospitalized after falling ill on set. Maybe she should try eating - Us Weekly Woody Harrelson gets into an argument with the staff of The Other Room - TMZ Good thing Madonna's out and Brooke Shields is......

Why the Valley rules #745: Whacky celebrities throwing garage sales. Thank you Tori Spelling. The innocence of toys isn't so clear when you step into the trashed alleys of the Toy District. We're happy we don't owe $270,000 in back taxes like a certain city councilwoman's husband. Green is sexy and Siel, aka Green LA Girl, proves that on her own merit. But now she brings us Katie who has challenged herself for a......

+ Tori Spelling clearly not being asked to be involved in the tribute to her groundbreaking father's career + Kate Jackson's never-ending speech while Farrah Fawcett fidgeted around like she had never worn a dress before + Kate Jackson's awful plastic surgery. If that's really the best that money can buy then + Dick Clark being brave + Steve Colbert's never-ending embrace of Jon Stewart, who now has a full chess set of Emmy......
