the buzz log

Before Dawson went up a Creek, before the Girls who Gossiped, before we were rudely welcomed to "The O.C." there was "Beverly Hills, 90210." As you've probably heard, the granddaddy of all teen angst dramas is getting a reboot. And rumor has it that Shannen Doherty may return to the zip code that made her a star.

Several sources within the Buzz are in a tizzy over the news. iVillage writes that Shannen is interested in reprising her role as "bratty Brenda Walsh," provided she likes the script (and the money). If the devilish diva does return, she would join fellow alums Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling who have already hopped aboard the career lifeboat.

Of course, one can't write, whisper, or even think about Shannen without conjuring up memories of her notorious on-set antics. Entertainment Weekly notes that Shannen "allegedly once engaged in a fistfight" with Ms. Garth. Additionally, the bad girl brunette was fired from "90210" in 1994. Should the return really happen, it'll be fun to see if bratty Brenda has truly changed her ways. For the sake of the Buzz, here's hoping she hasn't.
