Jamie Walters to Appear on VH1 Teen Idol Reality Show

December 28, 2008

One of my fave characters from BH 90210, Ray Pruit is starring in a new VH1 reality series, Confessions of a Teen Idol. Jamie Walters stars along with Chris Atkins (Return of the Blue Lagoon), David Chokachi (Baywatch), Bill Hufsey (Married with Children), Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch), Eric Nies (MTV’s Real World) and Adrian Zmed (Grease, Bachelor Party).

In the series, 7 former teen idols live together under one roof, and teen idol turned reality star Scott Baio helps to resurrect the actors careers. The actors will undergo acting lessons and therapy sessions to revisit the darkness lived in while being a teen idol.

As you may remember Jamie Walters was on Beverly Hills 90210 for two seasons on Donna’s abusive musician boyfriend. You may ask why is a verbally and physically abusive boyfriend one of my favorite characters? Ray added a sense of reality to the show - by shaking up Donna’s world and exposing her character’s weakness. Until Ray Donna was always the virginal, perfect princess. Although she remained a virgin throughout her relationship with Ray (she did have one drunken night when she almost gave it up), her character became stronger when she had to deal with ending her relationship with Ray after he pushed her down a flight of stairs in Palm Springs.

Here is Jamie’s biography from the Confessions of a Teen Idol website:

Jamie Walters (born June 13, 1969, in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American actor and musician. He started his screen career in 1988 with a commercial for Levi’s 501 Jeans. This was followed by guest appearances on Quantum Leap and a bit role in Everyday Heroes. His film debut came in 1991 with the movie Shout, alongside John Travolta, Heather Graham, and Gwyneth Paltrow.


Jamie is best known for his role in the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 as Ray Pruit, and The Heights, in which he also performed the theme song How Do You Talk to an Angel?, an Emmy-nominated, chart-topping song in 1992/1993. Through these successes, he has released three albums and performed in a few other small-scale movies over the years.
Walters is now working as a full-time firefighter/paramedic for the Los Angeles City Fire Department. Walters is focusing on his family and his career with the fire department but hopes to get back into music and acting sometime in the near future.

Check out the trailer for Confessions of a Teen Idol. The show premieres January 4th, 2009 at 8 EST on VH1.


What You Really Wanted For Christmas But Didn’t Get…

December 27, 2008

Christmas has come and gone and I’m sure you all got what you wanted, but in case you didn’t here is a list of some of the items you may have wished for but didn’t get.

Beverly Hills 90210: Season 6
What a great season! Kelly meets Cokehead Colin over her Summer in New York and he turns her towards the darkside. This is also the season when Dylan meets the daughter of the man who killed his father - and he falls in love with her, only for it to all end tragically. Luke Perry winds up leaving at the end of the season - but he later returns.

Beverly Hills 90210 Box Set: Seasons 1-6
This is a great deal, you get the first six seasons for under $200! I happen to think the first six seasons are the best - this box set provides hours and hours of endless BH 90210 marathons.

A Carol Christmas
Tori Spelling, William Shatner and Gary Coleman shine in this light-hearted update of the Dickens classic. Carol Cartman (Spelling) says “Bah, humbug” to the clichés of her fellow talk-show host, Dr. Bob, and especially to a live Christmas Eve show her producer has planned. But during a pre-show nap, her late Aunt Marla takes Carol on a holiday journey.

Tori and Dean Inn Love: Season 2
I love this season of Tori and Dean! Tori is pregnant with her second baby, Stella, Tori and Dean move to a new home, and Tori goes on an adventure with Dean while he goes scuba diving. At the end of the season there is a beautiful retrospective of Tori and Dean’s new family.


Is Jessica Lowndes Preggers?

December 27, 2008

Is 90210’s Jessica Lowndes pregnant in realy life? Not really, she’s just wearing a pregnancy suit for her bad ass character Adrianna. The pic above was taken of Jessica in between filming scenes while walking around the set of 90210.

Although it’s not clear how the character winds up becoming pregnant, it’s probablly going to be used as a dramatic after effect of the character’s drug addication.


Tori and Candy Spelling’s Book Face-Off

December 26, 2008

Tori Spelling and mother Candy Spelling are about to have a book face-off this Spring. Tori’s highly anticipated second book, “Mommywood” is being released the same day as Candy Spellings new memior, “Stories from Candyland” - both due out April 14th, 2008.

No information has been provided yet on Candy’s book, but it’s expected to be explosive!

Tori’s new book focuses on her new role in life, Motherhood.

Her bestselling personal memoir sTORI Telling showcased the funny, down to earth personality that has secured Tori Spelling a permanent spot in the hearts of her fans. Now, in Mommywood, Tori shows readers that she has much more to say and stories to share, during this newly unfolding chapter of her life as a mother of two. With one year old son Liam and newborn daughter Stella, Tori has taken on one of the most difficult roles in her career, that of mom. Infused with the same welcome wit and, of course, a little dish as sTORI Telling, Mommywood is guaranteed to reveal and entertain.

Tori’s rep claims the coordinating release dates of the books have nothing to do with each other, “It was the publisher’s decision to change the release date of ‘Mommywood’ to April 14, in order to participate in special Mother’s Day promotions with major retailers.”

Which book will you be reading?


Tiffani Thiessen Pregnant with First Baby

December 19, 2008

Star Magazine is reporting that 90210 alum Tiffani Thiessen is pregnant with her first child. Tiffani is 34, and this is her first pregnancy with husband Brady Smith.

“She and her husband are over the moon at the thought of becoming parents.”a source told Star.

“Tiffani wanted a baby so badly,” the source adds. “She had been seen going to a fertility center for treatments in Los Angeles to help her conceive.”

I wonder if she’ll name the baby Brandon or Luke if it’s a boy, or Kelly, Brenda or Valerie if it’s a girl :)


Shannen Doherty Looking Messed Up at Flaunt Magazine Party

December 19, 2008

Shannen Doherty showed up to the 10th Anniversary Flaunt Magazine party looking a bit messed up. Maybe she’s back to her party girl ways? I’m not sure if these are just bad shots of her, or her bangs are too long, but she definetly looks out of it.


Tori Spelling to Possibly Appear in 90210 Spring 2009

December 14, 2008

Rumors are swirling on the set of 90210 that Tori Spelling is in talks with the show to appear in a few episodes that will air in the Spring 2009. Tori may also be appearing in one of the episodes Jason Priestley will be directing.

Tori’s rep says there is “nothing to confirm” as of yet.


Shenae Grimes on Her Weight: “This is Me, This is My Body”

December 14, 2008

90210’s Shenae Grimes talked to People Magazine about the rumors and speculation about her weight. Shenae denied having an eating disorder and even revealed that the subject is very serious to her since she had a best friend who battled an eating disorder.

Shenae claims she is 100 lbs, and that if she was what other claim a “healthy 120 lbs” she would look a little chunky since she’s 5′3″. Shenae says genetics are what make her so skinny, her mom is a fitness instructor and her dad is “super scrawny”.

On a typical day on the set, Shenae eats eggs, bacon, chicken, fruit, cheese and crackers, and veggies.

One thing Shenae says she dislikes about her body is her chest size.

I’d wear padded bras with stuffing! And then as my friends turned 16, 17, they got bigger but i stayed the same. It’s something I’ve had to overcome.
