Tori Spelling, a piece of plastic that someone carelessly left on the radiator, has announced that she would like to be a part of the planned Beverly Hills: 90210 remake. Spelling was a member of the original cast (and one of a few that stayed until the bitter, bitter end) as a part of take your daughter to work decade, so she believes her involvement would make her late father, who produced the original version, very proud. Probably true! But don't go and cast her as a mother or anything: "[I'm] obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character's young stepmom," she says. Yes that could work. Or, "playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America's most infamous virgin." Even better! I support this Tori, I really do. [Showbiz Spy] If you know me at all, you know exactly what awaits you after the jump.

As for Donna Martin, I think it's only fitting that she end up on Welfare with two kids after her father dies, right after disinheriting her, and her first husband leaves her after he finds out she cheated on him with a bad movie-of-the-week actor, then of course she almost poops on herself while visiting London, right before their Bed and Breakfast goes south.

Not sure anybody would believe it, but hey, when you're up against some dude named Justin-Bobby, I think anything is possible.

@crosbystreet: True stories from the real Beverly Hills: She was later allowed to have birthday parties and guests, though they were never in the huge Spelling mansion, but held outside in tents. (Even for her big wedding, guests were not allowed inside the cavernous mausoluem her father built for her mother, Candy. ) At one of Tori's parties, every single girl in her class was invited except for one: Monica Lewsinsky.

@Aatom: I only saw a couple of episodes, but I had the feeling that Tori still didn't get the joke. And also that she was a bad actress even at playing herself. I wanted to root for her in that show, but I couldn't.

@EleanorRigby: I like that line of the post too, but my favorite is: "Tori Spelling, a piece of plastic that someone carelessly left on the radiator..." Perfect description.

I can't actually listen to the sound on the clip of David Silver (not SilverMAN) finally being granted access to his lady's lady parts- but I don't need to because I know for a fact that Brian McKnight is playing in the background. I remember the loss of Donna Martin's virginity so much clearer than my own...
