Shakeup At 90210, Lori Loughlin, Ryan Eggold Leaving Show
2 years ago
CW’s hit series 90210 is getting a shakeup with the announcement that series regulars Lori Loughlin and Ryan Eggold will not be returning during season four of the show.
Just like the original Aaron Spelling ’90s version of the show, adult actors are being phased out as the shows central characters grow up and head off to college, putting them in more grown-up adult situations.
With less emphasis being put on high school kids parents, keeping Loughlin and Matthews around wouldn’t make much sense to the growth of the shows younger characters and so they are being disposed of.

Mariah Carey To Deliver A Boy in March?
2 years ago
(HMG Celebrity News) – I do believe in the rumors that have floated for a couple of months that there is a good chance Mariah Carey is pregnant this time. Since Nick Cannon refused to confirm or deny those rumors in August, things have died down for a while. But a new site to me at least, either has some inside info or is taking a gamble at fame. A site called Hollybaby.com is reporting that Mariah Carey is expecting a baby boy in March.
“She’s having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn’t want to say anything is because she is 40, and she’s superstitious,” a source told the website.
