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.

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.

Shenae Grimes attended the 2008 Gemini Awards (Canada’s version of the Emmy’s). Although she wasn’t a nominee, she presented the award for Best Dramatic Series.

Jason Priestley was also at the Gala, and I heard Shenae refused to be photographed next to Jason Priestley on the red carpet - DIVA!

Rumors are flying that writers at 90210 are planning to kill off Shannen Doherty’s character, Brenda Walsh by making her die from an illness.

When asked about the rumors Jason Priestley told Access Hollywood,

“This is all news to me but this is fantastic. That is going to be awesome. No they haven’t given me anything yet. I don’t even know if the episode is written yet, but I love all those rumors that is juicy stuff.”

What is he thinking?

If this is true I wonder why the writers would do something so permanent - is it just to get attention or is it a way to keep Shannen Doherty from never returning to the show again?

90210’s Shenae Grimes was named the new Brenda by Saturday Night Magazine, a lifestyle mag for twentysomthings.

Shenae talked about her character, Annie, and when asked if she sees Annie as more like the Brandon or the Brenda, Grimes says that, “I think Annie and Brenda are very similar for the obvious reasons, new girl in school trying to fit in with the high-rollers, an interest in musical theatre. Yet, at the same time, she reminds me a lot of Brandon as well. Brenda was a little less conscientious of rules and consequences and a little more impulsive, where as Annie, much like Brandon, often seems a little wiser than the average teen. She seems to have a pretty sophisticated sense of right from wrong.”

Shenae also said her favorite character on Beverly Hills 90210 were Brenda and Dylan, “They both had this careless air of cool, you just kinda wanted to be their friends. And of course my favorite storylines were anytime those two got back together.”

90210’s Adam Gregory and Jessica Lowndes were snapped shopping together while holding hands in LA.  Jessica plays Adrianna in the new 90210 - while Adam plays Annie’s short term love interest, Ty. Maybe this means she’ll stick around on the show? I can’t wait to see next weeks episode after seeing her OD at the end of last week’s dramatic show.

One of 90210’s most exciting characters, Adrianna might die from a drug overdose! In an upcoming episode there is mention of someone “not breathing” and it’s probablly Annie’s frenemie Adrianna.

PopWrap had an exclusive interview with Jessica Lowndes, who plays Adrianna, and she dished on what’s coming up on 90210:

Pop Wrap: Was this drug spiral the plan for Adrianna all along?
Jessica Lowndes: I didn’t know where they were going to take my character - when I signed on I was just the girl who sang in the school musical. I was pleasantly surpsied by the depth they gave her and the juicy material they gave me. It’s been so much fun.

PW: Do you feel a pressure to avoid becoming the cliche druggie on a teen drama?
Jessica: Totally, I don’t want to make a mockery out of it. I did tons of research for all the drug stuff and it’s a serious problem all across the country. You wouldn’t believe the statistics of how many kids are stealing their parents vicodin and OxyContin for themselves.

PW: Watching Adrianna is like riding a roller coaster - ditto with playing her?
Jessica: It’s been so much fun - I’m pushing my boundaries as an actress too because I go to work and think “how am I going to be high on cocaine today?” Everyone I’ve been working with has been super supportive.

PW: Last week’s episode ended with you moving up in the drug food chain - and next week’s preview talks about someone OD-ing, should I be worried about losing Adrianna?
Jessica: You can take it like that, yep! All I am going to say is that next week is one of my favorite episodes. It’s basically the peak of Adrianna’s addiction and it was really interesting for me to play. They let me do some crazy stuff with my hair and just play with ideas that I had. I was able to use so much creative freedom, it’s really a shocking episode.

PW: The original “90210″ had Scott accidentally shooting himself to warn teens about gun violence - do you get sacrificed to the morality gods?
Jessica: I don’t know - we’ll see, but I’m still on set, so that says something! Truthfully, I’m hoping Adrianna just gets better so people can see that yes, this was a horrible way to deal with her situation but you can get better and recover. I’d like to be that kind of morality tale.

PW: How involved have you been in making sure the writers were being true to who you think Adrianna is?
Jessica: I just want to make sure I’m as real as possible and saying what my character would really say. I think the more depth, the better. Next week you’ll see Adrianna in her house, in that crazy homelife. Because I’m playing such a mean character I want people to feel for her - to understand where she’s coming from.

PW: And where exactly was Adrianna coming from when she called Shannen Doherty a washed up actress?
Jessica: Oh my god, it’s crazy right? I play such a bitch! That was a dream, I’m still pinching myself that I got to work with her. I was so excited when Shannen signed on - but bring back Dylan McKay! They’re talking about him a lot [on the show] and he’s a little bit of a hunk, I have a little crush on him. Oh, I’m just being modest - he’s super sexy! (laughs)

PW: I think we’d all like to see Luke Perry back in the zip, but I hear he’s not interested.
Jessica: Well, I’ve heard mixed things - I hear he’s busy filming now but after that’s over he’d consider it. I just think he was waiting to see the show and how it was received - but he is a fan, he likes it.

PW: Did you always know you wanted to be an actress?
Jessica: I told my parents when I was 4 years old that I was going to move to Hollywood and they were so fantastic about it. I met a producer right before I went into 12th grade who said he’d represent me once I was out of high school - so I decided I wasn’t going back. I home schooled my senior year in 3 months. The day I got my license I drove to Hollywood. I’m pretty determined and I always knew that I wanted this.

PW: You’re a musician too - that’s really you singing on the show, right?
Jessica: Yes. The year I didn’t go back to high school I was able to make this demo CD with my best friend after going through this breakup which made me hate men for two weeks. I ended up sitting next to a producer on a flight and we started chatting and the next thing I knew he bought my song “Goodbye” for the CBS show “Moonlight.” And “90210″ used my song “Fly Away” in the pilot - it’s been so fun.

PW: So is a CD in your future?
Jessica: That would be a dream for me. I’d love to and hopefully when I have some more free time I can write more. Ultimately though, I’d like to live in New York City and be on Broadway.

PW: Well, now that you know so much of “Spring Awakening’s” score…
Jessica: What’s funny is Jonathan Groff [an original castmember in "SA"] played my boyfriend in a pilot that didn’t get picked up and he’d be on set singing it, so when this audition came around it felt like fate. I knew every single song and the role had to be mine! I was bedridden with strep throat so I just downed tons of throat spray and did my thing.

PW: Clearly it went well
Jessica: Yea, I had literally just landed home in Vancouver when I got the call. They told me to come back to LA, they needed me on set tomorrow and they were going to chop all my hair off. It was a crazy thing that only sunk in a few weeks ago.

PW: Well now you’ll just have to make sure Adrianna doesn’t die!
Jessica: Oh trust me, I love being on this show, I’m very proud of it. I’m having so much fun right now - I don’t want to go anywhere!

In this week’s upcoming episode E! Online has revealed that Brenda mentions that she regularly speaks to her twin brother Brandon on the phone and gives some details on what he’s doing and where he is living. Also Brenda has a close phone relationship with Dylan, which may cause a rift between Brenda and Kelly.

Apparently in next week’s episode, “Model Behavior”, Dylan phones home to speak to Brenda, and winds up speaking to both Kelly (the mother of his son, Sammy) and Brenda.

I’m guessing Brandon is either in San Fransisco with his past love Emily Valentine, or working in New York or Washington D.C. for a prestigious newspaper or maybe even a College.

90210’s chain-smoking Shenae Grimes has taken to her blog to write about the recent tabloid stories accussing her and costar Jessica Stroup of being too skinny, and attacking Shenae’s gross smoking habit.

She wrote:

Now, as you all know now probably, I graced my first major magazine cover, only to be called ‘too skinny’ alongside my co-star Jessica Stroup. I would like to say once again that neither me or Jessica have issues with our weight or bodies. I happened to be very small built, and ive always been skinny. So I personally think that people need to stop criticizing everyone in the media these days about their issues. Im sure you wouldnt like it if someone pointed out all of your flaws and all of your mistakes.

As for her smoking habit Shenae says:

Cant say that im proud of it, but there are so many people struggling with the addiction nowadays. I started smoking at about 16, and 1 in 5 teenagers smoke. Im not going to really go into the issue, but my hope is that you will all just stop hating and get on with it. I smoke. My choice. Im sorry if you dont like it, but this is who I am.

I think she smokes to help make her skinny - such a bad idea!
