Did 90210 (2.0) land themselves a trouble maker on the set????

According to the Australian media, one of the new kids in (2.0) had a bit of a troubled past down under!

Chantelle Barry, who'll play one of the girls in the popular group, was basically black balled out of Australia!

Barry was in a Danity Kane-type band called Bardot with Benji Madden's ex fiance, Sophie Monk.

Barry was eventually kicked out of the band becuase Monk accused the new 90210 cast member of stealing money from her.

The brunette fled Sydney in 2000 after the theft claims, which she repeatedly denied and which cost her a chance at fame in Oz.

Luck looks to be on Chantelle's side now.

She's in one of the most anticipated shows of the season!

Wonder what it's like when she bumps into Sophie Monk here in LA!

Is she embarrassed to be seen with him??? Or are they just trying to play it cool for the paparazzi???

Ken & Barbie, aka Ryan Seacrest and Sophie Monk, continue to step out publicly together, albeit a bit shyly.

The pair dined at an LA sushi restaurant on Tuesday night and it seemed to go quite well. The two chewed the fat for over two hours before heading home.

Australian actress Monk was engaged to Benji Madden and Seacrest was most recently linked to one of the blonde girls from Sunset Tan.

He definitely has a type!

She sure knows how to pick 'em!

When she first moved to Los Angeles, no one knew Australian actress/singer Sophie Monk.

Within a few months of being here, Sophie began dating Benji Madden and she scored a place on the D-list.

Now that that relationship is over, the blonde bombshell has her eyes set on….. Ryan Secarest!

The TV and radio personality was spotted with Monk leaving L.A. Foxtail nightclub in the same car this past weekend.

Maybe they're "just friends," but they'd be an ideal couple.

It'd be like a real-life Ken and Barbie!

P.S. Sophie's now on the D+ list!
