We have grown to love the CW's new version of 90210, so you can bet your bottom dollar we're thrilled at this news: "The CW and CBS Paramount Network Television are “exploring” the possibility of creating a new version of Melrose Place, according to a rep for the studio… There’s been buzz about a possible Melrose revival from the moment the CW picked up the new 90210 last spring. But the early ratings success for the new ZIP show has turned such speculation into reality. The CBS Paramount spokeswoman was quick to stress that the talks about reviving Melrose have just begun. There are no writers or showrunners attached, she said." [TV Week]

Hoping to etch a safe space for their neighborhood gays, a German construction company decided to erect a massive apartment complex specifically for the lavender set.

Villa Anders in Ehrenfeld in Cologne features 70 flats, which all but 15 have been snapped up by gay people who plan to move in by the end of 2009.

Organizers the Gay and Lesbian Living Association said the project, which receives some public money, will be self-financing.

Resident Jens Lidy told the Guardian: “As a gay person, I’ve spent my life playing a sort of hiding game, making sure the neighbors didn’t know I was gay, because I never knew how they would react.

“I leapt at the chance to move to Villa Anders, because I feel I can finally be myself among people who have had a similar experience.”

Remember how Melrose Place began as a relatively feel good show and devolved into camp mania? Yeah, that's what we envision - only hopefully without Dr. Kimberly Shaw and her bomb-loving madness.


Believe it or not, being a blogger has its perks, like the fact that we can lounge around in our undies watching repeats of Melrose Place. Soap Net's currently airing later seasons and today boring old Jane found her birth mother and Billy's posing for the woefully inadequate painter, Sam. (Remember when she painted that Southwest-inspired depiction of the Place's courtyard? Bleck!)

Anyway, we prefer the show's early days, like when crazy Kimberly had homo Matt bashed. Totally cold, totally bitchy and totally topical! That Melrose, always addressing the world's issues.

And Hillary Got Shot Down


Greg Scarnici and company are up to their old parodic tricks with this send up of poor Britney Spears' VMA performance.

• Yes, the Melrose gang aged well, but we refuse to believe Laura Leighton got botox.

Mark Simpson on the sexy Mormon calendar: "If these topless apostles appeared on my doorstep I'd believe in a benevolent deity. Crikey, I'd even give up tea." That's a lot coming from a Brit. Must be love.
