90210: Rats and Heroes
Patrick Wymore/The CW
Well, the long-anticipated episode of 90210 finally aired. Naomi is back to sporting her ditzy colors, Dixon is being less than honest in most aspects of his life, and Adrianna kissed a girl and she may have liked it. At least Gia did.
Everything seems to be imploding all at once and we've got a lot to talk about. Read more about the girl-on-girl kisses, quasi-nudity and general shenanigans these kids are getting up to after the jump.
Melrose Place: Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them
Patrick Wymore/The CW
The truth is tested and things may never be the same after the most recent eppy of Melrose Place. Last we saw, Lauren had overdosed after her john slipped her a deadly roofie, Auggie planted a big fat one on an unsuspecting Riley, Amanda was moving in and snooping around, Ella and Jonah were hooking up and Violet had just been declared the victor in the most recent catfight in the MP pool.
Read more about the web of lies at Melrose Place after the jump.
After a seemingly endless hiatus (don’t you wish your holiday break lasted until March?), Gossip Girl returned to pepper our lives with a little public fornication, a little drug dealing and a little private investigator work. Nothing but good, clean fun on this show…or not. As Nate and Serena try to develop a relationship based on more than ripping each other’s clothes off, Lily and Rufus are on the skids. Blair continues to forgo her selfish nature to stand by Chuck’s side in all his endeavors – this time it’s trying to identify the mystery woman standing at Bart’s grave.
Meanwhile, Dan sits at home by the phone waiting for a call that’s never going to come from Vanessa, and Jenny continues to cavort around with Damien, participating in his illegal extracurricular activities. Those Humphreys...if it's not one thing, it's another.
Here’s a few more reasons we’re happy the gang is back:
Worst accessory: Blair’s earrings at the dinner for the French ambassador. If the earrings are bigger than your ear, put them down.
Most inexplicable storyline: Jenny selling drugs. We still can’t figure out what would motivate Jenny to risk everything to give a few addicts their fix. Damien’s not even that hot, so she can’t just be trying to impress him. Get a hobby Jenny.
Well, this week on Life Unexpected was more of Cate paying dearly for her past mistakes and making us feel sorry. Not for her, just sorry for having to listen to her moan about it.
At least one adult on the show is growing up; Ryan greatly redeemed himself this week for the machismo-fest that dominated the last episode. How Cate could screw things up with such a bang-up guy is beyond us (By the way, Ryan, our commenting lines are open if you ever want to reach out for a friendly drink).
And poor Lux is left with only clueless Baze to comfort her after Tasha's move. And Baze's idiot mistakes know no bounds this episode...
As fun as 90210 is, sometimes an actor just has to branch out, or remember his roots. We're always happy to talk with Michael Steger about either. You know him as Navid Shirazi from West Bev, but Michael has definitely been around the theatrical block.
We spoke with the actor about his work and it turns out he's gotten quite experimental.
You were in two Bollywood films in 2005 and 2008; what was that experience like compared with American film-making? It is completely different and really great. It was a very magical experience working in a foreign country.
Read on about Michael's other adventures in acting, including his work with "Alice in Wonderland" director Tim Burton.

No, that's not us with M.Steg. But we sure wish it was. (Patrick Wymore/The CW)
What's better than 90210? Getting 90210 spoilers from Michael Steger, that's what.
We chatted with the actor about what to expect for the rest of the second season, including some sticky situations in which Navid will entangle himself. Check it out!
The new episodes of 90210 are starting this week, what can you tell us about what to expect? Well, Navid comes back with some "paraphernalia" and he's trying to recruit Dixon and Liam to help him get Jasper in trouble by planting drugs in his locker. Dixon is probably going to get on board, but Liam is definitely not.
Read on about Navid's crusade against Japser, his potential new love interest, and when we see something out of Navid we don't expect!
AnnaLynne McCord runs for charity... in Puerto Rico
Want to know how you can get a body like AnnaLynne McCord's? It's easy: Become a triathlete.
The 90210 star flew down to Puerto Rico this week for Roselyn Sánchez’s first annual Triathlon for Life, running with the likes of Nick Lachey and Kellan Lutz.
The event was hosted and put together by actress Roselyn Sánchez, the drop-dead gorgeous actress from "Without a Trace" and "Rush Hour." Proceeds from the event will benefit San Jorge Children’s Foundation and the Casa Cuna of San Juan.
We love it when our CW celebrities are do-gooders. It makes us resent their good looks, fabulous lifestyles and designer-filled closets less.
Tyra boldly goes where Gossip Girl mistakenly went before
We here at the CW Source are personally embarrassed. How we let a repeat fashion faux pas at the CW slip past our vigilant watch is not only disappointing, it's just plain irresponsible.
But better late than never. If you would please direct your attention to the above photo of Ms. Banks, High Queen of America's Next Top Model. You'll notice Ms. Banks is wearing a jumpsuit. Ordinarily, we would just slap a "'nuff said" on this style lapse and call it a day. But this is a truly special fashion misstep, because it's been taken before.
If you'll remember, this -- I guess we'll call it a "garment" -- has reared its head on The CW before. Serena van der Woodsen chose to exhibit her charms in this at the Thanksgiving dinner table on Gossip Girl, about which the Fug Girls had some choice words. For the record, there's no such thing as tasteful cleavage for that holiday.
We're wondering: does The CW have some sort of deal with whoever designed this? Are contractual obligations at play? If so, the post-hiatus season will be more interesting than we could have predicted.
Cycle 14 of America's Next Top Model starts this Wednesday and we're not sure if we're more excited for the drama or the fashion. (We'd like to say fashion, but really, who are we kidding?)
But it seems drama is leaking to the wires already. Naduah, a 22-year-old contestant from Cancun, Mexico, revealed that she was brought up in a religious cult.
"I was born and raised into a cult, a religious cult; which is probably the reason why I'm no longer religious," Naduah tells her fellow housemates.
The aspiring model isn't letting her difficult past get in the way, she seems to be starting on a strong foot, "It was very difficult transitioning from the cult where I was as a child to the real world, you know, but I think I did it very well. It took me many years, but now I’m at a place where I don’t even recognize the person that I used to be before."
This certainly adds a new layer to the multifaceted backgrounds Tyra's picks have brought to the table. Only time will tell how it might manifest on the show.
Supernatural: Jensen and Jared Tell Us How They Proposed
On the heels of the news that Jared and Genevieve got married over the weekend, we thought we'd share these adorable clips from the Supernatural 100th episode party. We got Jared and Jensen talking about what happened when they proposed to their respective sweeties... and yes, it makes all of us here at CW Source Central go "Awwwwww!" Check it out!
