Ziering vs. Spelling
Filed under: TV News > Tori Spelling
Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Ian Ziering was on "Yo on E!" Monday and spent a good chunk of time talking about the planned spinoff AND he even took a jab at former castmate Tori Spelling, who recently released a tell-all book about her life and time on the cult program.

Spin off - good or bad?
“Often imitated but never duplicated. I wish them the best of luck. Certainly it’s not going to be with Brenda and Brandon and Steve and Kelly and David… That’s long gone.”
If the new show called you, would you do it?
You know what? Anything’s possible. I learned pretty recently to count myself out of anything would really be a mistake. You gotta be malleable and consider what comes along.”
Give me a percentage. What’s the likelihood that you’d be a part of it?
"I would consider it. Absolutely."
Have they reached out?
“I spoke to Jay and I spoke to Brian, and as far as I know, no one’s been contacted about that.”
Seriously what type of character could you see yourself playing? Do you have an illegitimate kid or what’s going on here?
“Didn’t David Silver have a younger sister? Maybe she’s of age.”
So you give it your endorsement? You give it two thumbs up for The CW to go along with this?
“You know what’s astonishing? Everywhere I go, not just here in CA or the US, but if I travel outside of our borders, people still relate to 90210. People love that show. It made such an impact globally that it astonishes me everywhere I go. I’m so grateful for the opportunities that have come my way because of that. Obviously, people want more!”
Was your blackberry on fire the day the news broke?
“Yeah, everybody wanted to know what was what, but I spoke to Jay and I spoke to Brian, and as far as I know, no one’s been contacted about that. I’d be shocked if they went and tried to get the old cast back together. I mean, it’s a different show. I don’t know. It remains to be seen. Certainly there are topical issues of today’s generation that can be handled in a similar way that might be just as popular as what we were doing in the 90’s. They’d have to really revamp everything. They’d have to be a whole clean slate, but like I said… often imitated, never duplicated.”
Reunion show?
“I’d like to produce a reunion show with those characters, and I’m going talk to my buddies. Hopefully we’ll own it and have it come out September 2, 2010, which will be 90210.”
On “Good Day LA” Tori Spelling said she would be willing to play a MILF on the spin off. What are your thoughts about that?
(Ian breaks into laughter) “Oh my god! Oh, hold on a second, my fake eye just fell out of my head."
So you’re not for it?
“Well, I’ve put pen to paper and have come up with some scenarios that I think would really help the show get off the ground. Want to hear them?”
Yes! Go for it!
“Rush Sanders gets together with Nat and Willie, the chef from the Peach Pit, and they throw a burger syndicate. Mrs. Teasley, the Beverly Hills High School principal, finally gets the affair she’s always wanted with David Silver when his sexless affair with Donna Martin falls apart. Kelly Taylor champions the cause of the embarrassed wife when she punches Brandon across the jaw during a live news conference just as he resigns from public office for having gay footsie sex with high priced hookers smoking a cigar. Dylan never recovers from the loss of his beautiful wife. Having done enough drugs to sedate a small village, his mind snaps forever more only speaking and rhyming couplets that can be incredibly insightful but mostly are just freakish and bizarre… while Brenda’s back…”
Yeah - what’s Brenda been up to? What was going on over across the pond when she was studying acting?
“Brenda’s back and she’s supernova hot. In her Christian Louboutin pumps, she is imbued with attitude that’s only attained through social climbing of Europe’s social elite.”
You’ve already written the first script, this is great!
“I’ve been writing this stuff forever already. Andrea Zuckerman! Oh my gosh, Andrea Zuckerman invented the social networking website called “MyFace”. She gets herself ranked in the fortune 200. She buys every child a home of everyone in school who ever made her feel bad, and she turns those homes into half way houses for wayward teens.”
What’s up with Sanders? What are you up to buddy?
“Sanders, in spite of the fact that he ‘s got more side dishes than Jerry’s Deli, Steve Sanders and Janet are doing well and he has become wildly successful with his tabloid. Even Harvey Levin is taking notes on his playbook. The small time tabloid is now a big time news celebrity source, and he still secretly lusts for the newly single Kelly Taylor.”
dude P, ya gotta post the new britney spears "how i met your mother" preview.
ya'll are so behind!
I hate Shannon Doherty!!!!!!!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, some of us are under 100!
A Spin-off would be interesting….I wonder if anyone would watch it.
P.S. Fourth?
I miss 90210, but Ian is right. It CANNOT be duplicated. The original was the BEST. He has some legit ideas for the tv show, though…
why do we give two shits about ian z? how can you call yourself an actor if your whole career is based on one show? (a show where you were'nt even part of the main story half of the time, lol)
That's great! I LOVED 90210.
hahaha, he's got a great sense of humor and some really good ideas!!!!!!! ;p
first? Moi? OMFG!
19th
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS COMEBACK. ive been watching the first couple seasons over and over again.
I seriously do not know what everyone's problem with Tori is!! Grant ya she grew up spoiled and rich but you know-her father leaving her less than a million I think had really taught her to be the type of person she has become. I think she is a very beautiful woman. I always look at her and wonder what everyone's problem is about her. I see a beautiful woman with not a thing wrong about her. I wish people would just leave her along. Ian is just jealous that he isn't still in the spotlight as Tori has managed for herself to be!! Go Tori!!!
we loooooooooooooovez it!!! BH 90210 NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!
i agree with number 6.. who cares? just total has beens looking for their name out there
Nothing will EVER beat the original. Suckas!
if the show called would you do it?
the has-been would jump on it
WORD!
thats entirely brilliant
kudos ian
Re: katie –
You suck!
I graduated in '93, the same year as 90210, and I don't look that f***ing old.
Ok he's got way too much time on his hands…but it does read well
I read Tori's book and she didn't say anything bad about Ian so I'm not sure what his problem is. He sounds like he has a big head and is desperate for a come back. News flash Ian, you're a has been.
PEREZ..I GET SO SICK OF YOU DRAWINGS THAT YOU DRAW..THE DRIPPING CRAP FROM MOUTHS…YOU ARE A SIC FU*K…WHY DON'T YOU DRAW THEM ON YOUR UGLY FACE..IT MIGHT IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: jason – Oh yeahhhhhhh. So did I…!!!
He was the only "10" with no shirt on.
Re: Jenny – I hate Picasso-face Doherty, too!!!! The doctor who delivered heard really did a number on her head and face with the forceps.

Ian Ziering? Whatthefuckever! Steve Sanders was so unimportant on 90210 and not hot. Isn't there a suckass talent show he can go host or something?
Tori brought it on herself when she called herself a MILF. She is so ugly that even a million dollars worth of plastic surgery couldn't make her attractive. She also can't act for shit. She used to say she auditioned under an assumed name and no one knew she was Aaron's daughter when she was cast in 90210. Give me a break! Brenda was the best character on that show. When she left the show sucked.
he has some good old school soap ideas. I like it.
Re: jason – me too
I am still in love with david spade because he is oh so fucking hot! But, if there was ever a remake of my favorite show 90210 and i just happened to turn on the boob tube to see steve, david, dylan, brandon, vince, and any other hot looking white boy that i forgot to mention from that show, then i hate to say it dave, but honey, you'd be kicked to the kizurb!
Dude, you talk to much crap!! You weren't even one of the main characters on the show, but I'd still watch a reunion…..
Ian is so hot. This isn't a very flattering picture, but I think he has one of the best looking faces in the business.
SCREW THAT! SHANNEN IS THE BEST THING EVER ON 90210! BRENDA AND DYLAN..IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS ITS ABOUT TIME THEY GET BACK TOGETHER! AND BRANDON AND KELLY.. BRENDA AND DYLAN FOREVER
haha loves it! i wish Shannon Doherty stayed on the show longer! clearly brenda & dylan belonged together!
HAHAHAH
If this wash-up thinks he's any better he's delusional.
His script ideas are hilarious, and stupid.
The CW would not employ him for all the tea in China.
You are such a bore,you must make yourself fall asleep.At least Tori found her own way, without the $$,did you sleep with Kelly Ripah I just woke up brain not working for spelling .Oh yeah maybe he is rolling over in his grave .It is a sad day to defend him.oh yes Iwill have to get toothpicks to keep myself awake, is your name ziering or PUTZ, I can not tell the diff
THe hottest kid on the show was that Austin Green (was that his name?) kid who's now with Megan Fox from Transformers.
I watch 90210 heaps too. The first season sucked but the rest were good until Brenda left the show then it became sleazy and boring. I miss the 90's sometimes not the fashion the tv shows, all the shows now are about surgeons or cops
Its time for new tv shows, but 90210 are not the same without the original characters, and jennie garth was so annoying
i love steve and i love 90210, a new show would be a dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST FINISHED TORI'S BOOK. SHE'S NOT THE GIRLS SHE APPEARS. SHE DOES NOT "HAVE IT ALL" AND IS CERTAINLY NOT A SPOILED RICH GIRL. SHE IS VERY VULNERABLE AND HUMBLE AND STILL HOLDS ONTO INSECURITIES THAT I THINK HER MOTHER IS LARGELY TO BLAME FOR. SHE MADE TORI FEEL INFERIOR AND LIKE AN OUTSIDER IN HER OWN FAMILY. PRETTY SAD ACTUALLY. I HOPE HER HUSBAND IS GOOD TO HER..SEEMS TO BE.
LUKE PERRY STAGED AN INTERVENTION TO GET TORI S TO DUMP HER ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND. HE EVEN TRADED PUCHES WITH THE GUY…ADDING HIM A LOT OF POINTS ON MY "HOTNESS" METER!
Re: Danny – I THOUGHT IAN WAS THE HOTTEST. I AGREE…GREAT FACE….BUT HE'S GOT A ROCKING BODY TOO. HE WAS SO SEXY ON DANCING WITH THE STARS.
Re: kristin – YOU SUCK
Why wont this guy go away ?? He is THE most self loving, conceeded over inflated sense of self that exists. Most of the cast from this show was to be honest. They were all VERY in love with themselves and very arrogant. I hated the show 2 seasons into it. It just sucked. "Often Immitated never duplicated??" Dude you are like 40 something… can you grow the hell up? Who talks like that as an adult? Brendan and Steve talked like that but they were HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. I just cannot stand this idiot. And, while Tori is not my favorite ANYTHING, HER FATHER made Ian Ziring a household name…. so to quote the BREAKFAST CLUB since we are being children…. SHOW DICK SOME RESPECT.
Fucking idiot. Please dont encourage these asswipes by putting them on your page P Nasty. Just let them die in the self loving has been box.
He looks hotter than ever….
shouldn't this be filed under "z-list?" Just saying…
Oh my god love it
but shannon has to be there
JOan collins serving the bitches
This interview was the stupidest thing I have read yet!
LOL–gotta love Ian Ziering even if his memory is a bit faulty. Kelly walked off into the sunset with Dylan at the series finale. He'd have to do have Kelly flip-flop one more time about Dylan and Brandon, ultimately settling on the less brooding but poorer choice.
Dylan speaking in Shakespaerean couplets is priceless.
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT MA-SHUG-A-NA
Ian is hosting "Your Momma Don't Dance" on Lifetime- and I think it's really good, and she has got a lot less than him in the career department- so I think he should cut her some slack!
Who care what he said - are there any naked pics of him out there??
I cannot stop running into this guy! I him Ian at a bar on Saturday night and let me tell you, this guy is a douche! Unfoturtanately this is not the first time!
