I remember once in college, a bunch of my friends came over and we got super high and started talking about which 90210 character we’d be. It was an insanely stupid conversation but the reason I remember it was because my roommate looked at this girl sitting across from us, who lived next door, and goes “dude, you’d totally be Tori Spelling,” and the girl bursts in to tears and goes “f*&k you?!” and did a spaghetti armed run out of the apartment. Then it was quiet for a second and that chick’s boyfriend looked at my roommate and said super seriously, “not cool, man. Way not cool.” I think that pretty much sums up Tori Spelling, so it’s no surprise to me the CW is passive aggressively trying to get her out of the 90210 remake. Usmagazine.com reports:
Tori Spelling has changed her mind about returning to Beverly Hills, 90210 as Donna Martin.
The confirmation comes after DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com reported Monday that Spelling, 35, pulled out after learning that co-stars Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were earning $35,000-$50,000 per episode compared to Spelling’s $10,000-$20,000 per episode salary.
I’m really hoping the CW execs had a meeting with her and brought out a big chart and were like “See, it’s a simple equation. On a scale of 1-10, let’s rate your talent at a 2. Now on that same scale, let’s rate your father’s aliveness at a 1. Two plus one equals three. Now take Scott, the building Janitor. His talent is a 3, and your father’s aliveness is still a 1. Three plus one equals four. Thus, we can’t justify paying you more than Scott.
I wonder if when they offered her the check, it looked like this:
90210, Tori Spelling
(12)
