90210 Without Brenda? Pass.
“FOX needed a tax write-off, because they bought the 90210 reboot that will be 100% Brenda-less reported DListed.
Tori Spelling confirmed the reboot a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t pay attention to that shit, because it came out of the mouth of Tori Spelling. I figured she said that just so the creditors would think a check is coming and would stop hiding in the bushes, waiting for her to come home. But – GASP – Tori was actually telling the truth.

They make the comics and DC distributes them, while DC’s parent conglomerate, Time Warner, watches from the penthouse. Everybody’s making money so far.” The Village Voice
DADDY Heeeeey….
