Electro-pop duo The Veronicas will make a cameo on the prom episode of 90210, airing May 12 (9 p.m. ET) on CW. Performing their hit “Untouched” and “Take Me On the Floor” the first two singles off their sophomore record Hook Me Up, twins Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, both 24, shot the episode on the Queen Mary boat in Long Beach, Calif.

“We had a great time,” says Jessica. Though they describe everyone on set as being, “so wonderful to us,” they did leave having found a favorite cast member. “Shenae Grimes. She hung out with us a bit and was so nice and she’s a fan of ours.”

Avid watchers of the first round of 90210, the twins were a bit bummed when they didn’t get to meet any of the returning cast members. “We were only on set for about 3 hours,” says Jessica. “I wish we’d had the chance to meet Shannen Doherty. I love her!”

Next up for the girls? Continuing to hang with close pal Joe Jonas. “We opened up for the Jonas Brothers on their last tour and we just really connected the Joe, but we’re all just friends.” They’re also continuing their first U.S. headlining tour, which runs through July. – Jessica Herndon

With V-Day just days away, it was no surprise the hormonally-charged teens at West Bev were preoccupied with love, lust and a mega-dose of jealously on last night’s 90210.

Just when you thought cute couple Annie and Ethan were so into each other, the two devolved into one of those mismatched couples that always fight. Blame it on Rhonda and Ethan’s growing friendship with the girl whom he accidentally hit in a car accident. Things only get worse when Ethan walked in on Annie during drama class and saw her retelling a story that was originally told in confidence by Rhonda. Like a scene out of a soap opera, this act of betrayal drove an angry Ethan right into Rhonda arms. The two pals got chummy, laughing and dancing at the V-Day Dance. When it came time to say goodbye Rhonda went in for the kiss, but got shot down by Ethan.

In anticipation of the most romantic day of the year, 90210 stars Dustin Milligan, Michael Steeger, Jessica Lowndes and Jessica Stroup are offering up their advice for Valentine’s Day. From planning the date, to gift (and compliment) giving, the cast is well versed in matters of the heart. Or so it seems.

The Valentine’s Day episode of 90210, which airs on the CW on Tuesday (Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. ET), promises to be like a box of chocolates (sweet with a few surprises) when the whole gang attend a dance at West Beverly High. After parting ways, Dixon (Tristan Wilds) and Silver (Stroup) get back into the spirit of the holiday, sharing a romantic dinner together and then deciding to take their V-Day even further. While Ethan (Dustin) and Annie (Shenae Grimes) are still feeling a strain on their relationship, Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) may be starting a new one after falling in love at first sight when she meets Liam (Matt Lanter, a new series regular), the mysterious bartender at the hotel where she’s living.

Brenda is back! Again.

Shannen Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on the original Beverly Hills: 90210, signed on to return for another episode of the CW’s 90210, according to a source close to the show.

After appearing in six episodes of the spin-off, no details about her upcoming storyline have been announced.

When we last saw her, Brenda was renewing her friendship with Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) after revealing Brenda’s sour attitude stemmed from the fact she can’t have children.

Tori Spelling, another 90210 alum, recently returned to her old zip code as the beloved Donna Martin. She is signed on to appear in three upcoming episodes.

This week’s episode on 90210 finally tied up some loose ends. But not without a lot of drama, of course!

Mr. Ryan Matthews (Ryan Eggold) returned to the halls of West Bev after taking a leave of absence for cavorting with a student, who was really a 25-year-old narc. Everything was straightened out and he got his old job back as the coolest English teacher. But while spending his time in South Dakota, he realized he was a burned-out, 23-year-old teacher interested in only cashing a paycheck. He’s not even interested in Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) anymore. Did anyone notice sparks between him and the new drama teacher? Is there anyone who is not hot for this guy? (more…)

The kids of West Bev were hot. They were sweltering. Actually, a heat wave had taken over Los Angeles, and the air conditioner at school broke down. Not a complete buzz-kill, Principal Wilson canceled class for a day — giving the students a reason to throw an impromptu beach party in January.

And the beach is where seriously heated conversations took place. After fainting in chemistry class and fueling rumors that she was using drugs again, Adriana (Jessica Lowndes) decided it was the right time to tell her boyfriend Navid (Michael Steger) that she’s pregnant. Adrianna also told Naomi (Annalynne McCord) her secret, and Naomi promised to stand by her no matter what she decides to do with the baby. Unfortunately, the news didn’t go over so well with Navid, who ended it with Adriana because he can’t deal with being in a relationship with a girlfriend who’s having another guy’s baby.

Meanwhile, not everything was golden between lovebirds Silver (Jessica Stroup) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds). Her cynical and negative attitude was beginning to bother Dixon, who was mocked for joining the school choir. So in a strange move, Dixon decided to tell her that he loves her. That’s when things got really AWKWARD. Silver’s reponse: um, “thank you.” (more…)

Looks like Donna Martin will return to 90210 after all! Tori Spelling is in “final negotiations” to return to the world’s most famous zip code, a show rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The actress, who was set to star in the CW’s spin-off when it was announced — but then had “no plans” to join the show for its fall debut — is close to finalizing a deal to be in multiple episodes. But details of the deal, which was first reported by EW’s Michael Ausiello, are still unknown.

Internet rumors credited everything from money to a rivalry with current 90210 star Shannen Doherty as reasons her initial deal fell through. But Spelling, daughter of the original show’s producer Aaron Spelling, was always supportive of the show.

“I hope it turns out to be a really great show, just for my dad’s legacy,” she said in August. “I was originally a part of [90210] and it was something pretty phenomenal, so I hope it turns out great.”

Any other original cast members scheduled to appear?

Unfortunately, Jason Priestley, who played good-guy Brandon Walsh in the original, won’t be in front of the camera. But he will be directing the new cast of his alma mater starting later this month. His episode will air March 18.

It was another jam-packed episode of 90210 Tuesday, with four shocking revelations for the beautiful people of Beverly Hills.

First: Adriana is pregnant! At a support group with her sponsor, Kelly (Jennie Garth) and Brenda (Shannen Doherty) by her side, recovering addict Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) learned that her friend, who she slept with a “couple times,” contracted HIV and relapsed. Brenda and Kellie insisted she get herself tested and accompanied her to a clinic. There, Adriana found out that she’s HIV-negative — but she was pregnant! After plenty of tears, she called Navid (Michael Steger).

Second: Brenda can’t have kids! At the clinic, Brenda freaked out when she heard that Adrianna was pregnant and ran out. Later, Kelly confronted her and Brenda revealed that she had complications with her thyroid problem and will not be able to have children of her own. “I’m pathetic. I’m jealous of a 16-year-old girl,” she explained about why she left suddenly. But then she revealed that she wanted to adopt. (more…)

Can Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Kelly (Jennie Garth) work together to help Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) without fighting on the all-new 90210?

The one-time besties have shared secrets and milestones while battling over boyfriends and even crushes — most recently, hot English teacher Mr. Matthews (Ryan Eggold) — for decades. But in an upcoming episode, Kelly doesn’t want to walk down memory lane, but instead asks Brenda to help Adrianna, who is a recovering drug addict. Watch what happens!

90210 returns 8 p.m. Tuesdays, starting Jan. 6, on the CW.
