Well, now. THIS would make for an interesting spin on an old series: Hilary Duff is, apparently, being courted to star in the new '90210' series.
According to Kristin of Watch With Kristin at E! Online:
Sources connected to the series tell me exclusively that producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary to offer her a starring role in the series.
No
word yet on whether she is interested in the role, and at press time,
we have not received comment from reps for the CW or Hilary.
According to sources, Hilary's potential character is that of Annie Mills. As I reported last month,
Annie is a Beverly Hills High student who is into theater acting, just
like (Brenda, Shannen Doherty's character). But instead of Color Me Badd, she’s listening to
emo bands. She yearns to fit in with the alternative crowd and leans a
lot on her adopted brother, Dixon, too.
Kristin's sources tend to be pretty reliable, so I'm guessing that this rumor is very probably true. Not as confirmable as the Jennie Garth rumor, maybe, but still. (I'm still going to hold out for Miley Cyrus, though. She'd do a more believable Brenda character, I think. She has the necessary good girl/whore thing going on.)
Now the only question is, would Tori Spelling be believable as her mother?
