Ok, so remember how T.O. was just like Shannen Doherty? And he and Donovan McNabb feuded in Philly just like the gals of 90210? (Ok, so I think technically we said Charmed, but I’m modifying history slightly.)
Well, turns out Donovan wants T.O. to come play with him in Washington!
Which means that my analogy has brand new life. Lucky me! Lucky you!
So, when they decided to make the new 90210, you totally knew that they were going to get Kelly and Donna to sign right up. I expected Steve to be there, too (I mean, has the guy done anything since the ’90s?), but no one knew if Brenda would be back. After all, her history on the show was pretty unstable, and besides, you know the other actresses had to still hate her.
BUT they also knew that no one would care about the new show without Brenda. I mean, Brenda is whiny and bitchy and fun! Kelly and Donna are dullsville with snooze sauce.
And so the show runners worked hard to bring her back for a few episodes. And so Donovan is working on getting T.O. to help stretch the field for a few good plays a game.
The moral of the story: Talented divas are still talented. And talent deserves respect.
(Which is why I like Project Runway.)
(Even though a lot of the designers are annoying.)
