Beverly Hills, 90210 alums Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth joined the new crop of 90210 kids at a premiere event in Malibu, CA for the new CW spin-off which is set to debut on 09.02. It’s almost time y’all … we’re just days away from finding out if the new 90210 can live up to the hype and expectation of the stunning success of its predecessor … but for now, it’s just time to party. Here are a few pics from the event’s red carpet event last night:
Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth joined the cast of CW’s 90210 spin-off Saturday at a beachside bash to celebrate the show. The party took place on the Malibu shore – about 20 miles away from the Beverly Hills zip code, the AP reports. Doherty and Garth, who will reprise their roles as Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor in the new show, arrived separately. Joe E. Tata, who played Peach Pit owner Nat, also attended. Party guests expecting to get a glimpse of the show’s first episode were out of luck: The premiere was not screened. (The CW recently announced pre-broadcast copies of the series would not be distributed to TV reviewers and reporters as a “strategic marketing decision.”) Meanwhile, Garth recently said reuniting with Doherty (with whom she once got into a fistfight) wasn’t “as bad as I thought it would be. We’re both grown women, both professionals,” she told TV Guide. “Once we were working, it felt like a good fit.”
Tori Spelling, who continues to get the shaft from the new 90210 was, obvs, not in attendance at last night’s affair. Again, I’m excited at the prospect of the new show but I fear that expectations may be too high. I understand why the show’s producers are keeping the first ep under wraps until the series premieres next week but … I dunno, can it really live up to the hype? There are a lot of fond memories about the original show … I dunno if anything can really measure up.

It won’t measure up, this show has no choice but to bomb. People are going to compare everything about it to the original. Its going to seem like they are trying way too hard and the cast doesn’t seem that strong enough to hold up to the task of living the 90210 life. and seriously, who really cares about the “poor rich people” any more, those shows were all done in the 80′s and 90′s. It will do well in the ratings the first few ep’s only because people will be curious to what they are going to do, but i don’t think this new generation is going to really want to watch this show. Its just going to be compared to Gossip Girl and although that show does get a lot of attention, mostly because of it’s cute guys, the show itself does not do that well in the ratings.
Sadly, as much as I want the show to be smash. The cast alone doesn’t look impressive minus Shannen and Jeanie of course.
But I’ll hold my final judgment for the airing.

When did Aunt Becky become a man?! That picture is bad
Anne — agreed. She looked great at the Bob Saget roast, though.
I’ve never followed 90210 but this seems like a bomb. It’s always fishy when they refuse to let anyone have a sneak peek. And this just seems like a desperate attempt to ride the whole O.C.-Gossip Girl-etc wave.
lori laughlin (aunt becky) looks HORRIBLE!!!

Shannon is looking more and more like Joan Crawford. Don’t let her adopt!
