Arielle Kebbel (Lindsay Lister then Forester on Gilmore Girls) has been cast in a recurring role for 90210. She will play Vanessa, a “charismatic, edgy and vivacious former bad girl who enjoys a little risk-taking now and again.”
Arielle’s character Vanessa will become romantically involved with one of the leading men on 90210, though as yet we’re not sure who.
Arielle’s arc in the series will begin airing this December.
Do you watch 90210? Who do you think Vanessa may be a love interest for?

Amy Sherman-Palladino, writer and creator for Gilmore Girls, is going to pilot for a new series for ABC Family, Bunheads.
Bunheads is about Michelle, a Las Vegas showgirl who “impulsively” marries a guy and moves to his hometown where she starts to teach at his mother’s dance school.
“I spent 20 years of my life with my hair in a bun. I was supposed to be a dancer,” Sherman-Palladino said. “My mother was a dancer. Her greatest heartbreak was when I got on ‘Roseanne’. So, while writing this will never equal playing ‘Rumpelteazer’ in a bus and truck tour of ‘Cats,’ it does let me to tip my hat to a really special time in my life.”
The series is set to be an hourlong drama.
Amy is also writing a pilot series for ABC in adaptation of The Nanny Diaries.
Milo Ventimiglia’s (Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls) is the voice of Wolverine / Logan for the new anime series for Marvel Television in Wolverine. The anime series airs on G4 here every Friday.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Milo doing the voice acting for the part:
Vanessa Marano (April Nardini on Gilmore Girls) currently stars in the recently-premiered new series on ABC Family, Switched at Birth. The series was recently given additional episodes for the first season, bringing it up to 32 episodes for Season 1, with the remainder to air in January 2012. A good prospect for the series. Vanessa herself was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for her role, though she did not win for ‘Choice Summer TV Star’.
Vanessa recently talked all about the show, including how she feels about learning sign language, here. There was one Gilmore Girls question, which I’ll share:
Question: Do you keep in touch with anyone from Gilmore Girls?
Vanessa Marano: I still keep in touch with Scott Cohen (Max Medina).
Do you find it surprising that Max & Vanessa hit it off on set?
On the Set: Vanessa Marano on how she feels her outfit helped her land Bay’s role.
Liza Weil (Paris Gellar on Gilmore Girls) was cast in Shonda Rhimes’ new ABC pilot back in March. The pilot was named Damage Control at the time, but is now Scandal. The series was picked up for the midseason 2011-12 schedule, which is great news!
Scandal is about a former media relations consultant to the President, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), who dedicates her life to protecting and defending the public images of our nation’s elite. After leaving the White House, the power consultant opened her own firm, hoping to start a new chapter — both professionally and personally — but she can’t seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her staff, who specialize in fixing the lives of other people, can’t quite fix the ones closest at hand — their own.
Liza Weil has a supporting role in the tv series as Amanda Tanner (or Julia Tannen – name doesn’t seem fixed yet), a Presidential aide whoe’s been telling people that she’s sleeping with the President. The series stars Kerry Washington, Henry Ian Cusick, Columbus Short and Guillermo Diaz.
I hope Liza gets some regular facetime, though it sounds like her character is really plot-dependent and may phase out once that issue is passed. Who knows!
Katie Walder (Janet Billings on Gilmore Girls) guest stars on the 6th episode in the first season of the Adult Swim series NTSF:SD:SUV The series seems to spoof a bunch of other acronym-based police procedurals we know an love, with the title of the “National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle”. The show runs 15-minute episodes that are “ripped from the headlines and full of suspense, action, drama, cliffhangers, yelling, passionate love-making, more yelling, death and plenty of pregnant pauses”.
In the August 25th episode, ‘Tijuana, We’ve Got A Problem,’ “a stripper-astronaut steals the space shuttle plans and sells them to Mexico. Now NTSF must go into Mexico and stop the evil President Felipe Calderon before they beat the U.S.A. in the space race.”
Katie also tweeted that she’s going to be guest starring on ABC’s new Man Up.
