Brenda is back!!!

I will censor myself out of respect for Jennie [Garth] because she's friends with Tori. I got passages sent to me and a vast majority of it is incredibly exaggerated. Maybe it's a difference of how I was raised. I just don't believe you write personal on-set experiences in a book. For me, when you work it's almost a sacred experience whether you get along with everyone or not. In 27 years of acting I've never sold out one of my cast members. Ever. And I will stick to that."

Bugatti and Hermès Collaboration

Originally announced at the International Car Show back in March, a relationship originally forged in the 1920s by Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermès would be re-visited once again as the two would collaborate together on a special make-up of the 1001 horsepower monster, the Bugatti Veyron. While the original model debutant car was seen in brown/tan tones, this second look unveils another colorway with three other schemes also part of the package of custom-made to order cars ringing in at € 1.5 million EUR (approximately $2.2 million USD). Aside from the ability to choose from “indigo blue and vermilion”, “indigo blue and lime green”, ” black and garance red” and “Prussian blue and blue jean”, each Veyron Fbg includes H-pattern grille, eight-spoke wheels, a luxurious calfskin upholstery and an exclusive collection of Hermes luggage.

The Converse 100th anniversary has featured itself as a re-visiting of some of Converse’s extensive back catalogs of products with the focus revolving not only around staples such as the Jack Prucell and Chuck Taylor All-Star but also some models you probably wouldn’t associate with the Converse brand. For October, Converse Japan has previewed styles such as the Camping Hi, Weapon Custom Color Ox, All Star Tassel Hi and All Star Rave Hi.

JENNIE GARTH AND SHANNEN DOHERTY GO BACK TO SCHOOL IN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Below is an excerpt of Entertainment Weekly’s Q&A:

EW: Did you ever think the two of you would be sitting here talking about playing Brenda Walsh and Kelly Tay lor again?

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty: [In uni son] No.

Garth: I thought [Beverly Hills, 90210] had a beginning, middle, and an end. It was very neatly in its coffin and it was done. When they told me they were do ing it, I thought: No! Like something sort of sacred was being disrupted. Some part of who I was and a piece of my history was being messed with. It took me a while to settle into that idea.

Doherty: Early on, my publicist got a call asking her “Would she do it?” I was kind of like, Why would I play Brenda Walsh again? There was an “I Hate Brenda” newsletter. Why would I pos sibly get myself back into that? I think it was too scary for me. I didn’t want to go back to people hating me. It just wasn’t something that I considered for a good chunk of time. At some point it hit me that this is what the fans want ed. They put a roof over my head. They allow me to eat and to feed my dogs. The only reason I survive is because of them. If there’s one way to possibly say thank you, it is to go back and play a character that you never even liked yourself.

EW: You didn’t like Brenda?

Doherty There were parts of Brenda I loved. They just took her in a really odd direction that I didn’t necessarily agree with at the time. I still kind of look back and think, Eh, it’s not what I would have done, but I understand. Every show has to have that character full of teenage angst and drama. I think she was driven by insecurity that was at the root of everything.

EW: The other day you had your first scene together in 14 years. When did you last see each other before the scene and what was it like shooting together again?

Doherty: [Laughs] Oh, God. When was it? Ten years ago? I don’t know. A long time. I can only speak for myself, but being with someone I knew made it easier for me my first day on set. At least for me there was an appreciation that we’d been through the first 90210 together and now we’re going through it again, but in such a different way be cause we’re both adults now. The only weird thing was while we were trying to catch up everyone was watching us. Every single eyeball was on us. I don’t know what they were expecting. I was more interested in talking to her about Dancing With the Stars. I thought she did an amazing job.

Valentino: Tears and Cheers

VENICE — “I only remember what I want to remember,” joked Valentino to Giancarlo Giammetti during a stroll down Via Veneto, as the latter brought back memories of their first encounter at the Café de Paris in Rome on July 31, 1960.

“It must be since the Dolce Vita days that I haven’t been down here,” added Valentino with a twang of nostalgia.

Their walk down memory lane on a cold, winter day may have been orchestrated for a scene in Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary, “Valentino: The Last Emperor,” but the deeply rooted, inspirational and unique union between Valentino and Giammetti is really what sparked...
