Remember how sacred Donna Martin’s virginity was on the original Beverly Hills, 90210? Turns out, stuff like that isn’t really an issue to the new generation of high schoolers in the famous West Beverly zipcode. Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth spoke to EW this week and discussed one way the show has evolved since their days fighting over Dylan McKay.
Garth (on her role as a guidance counselor): “When [they] told me some of the things they were doing, I was like, ‘Whoa. That is not 90210, people.’ They were trying to educate me [about] how teens are in high school today. It was so shocking to me that I thought I should bring a positive spin somehow. Of course, I have yet to guide or counsel anyone.”
Doherty: “I think they must have told you the same things they told me. … All I know is there’s a girl giving a guy a blow job in the first episode.”
Garth: “When they told me that, I thought, Aaron Spelling is rolling over in his grave right now.”

In 2007, Snoop Dogg was refused permission to apply for a visa to enter Australia because of his criminal record (which includes drug charges, firearms possession and a murder acquittal). Aussie immigration officials have recently had a change of heart though (no doubt ensuring they get honorary membership to the Dogg Pound), by reconsidering giving him a temporary visa for his tour with Ice Cube, scheduled for October. If he is allowed in, the country would require him to attend special counseling prior to his arrival and adhere to a strict set of behavior rules while there (no weed, only Fosters beer?).
