Tori Spelling Will Work For Lunch At The Peach Pit

News that The CW would be shooting the pilot for a Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff was undoubtedly met with conflicted feelings by the sporadically employed cast of the original series, even going so far as to cause Ian Ziering to wake up repeatedly in cold night sweats, shouting into the darkness, "But will they remain true to the original show's vision of eight best friends who pledge over countless lunches at The Peach Pit to remain together, through thick and thin, whatever life throws at them?!"

But where life gives you spinoffs, hopeless optimist Tori Spelling makes spinoffade, telling People that news of the new 90210 would surely cause her father Aaron to "[beam] from above." (Every time a desperate, bastard network discovers a previously proven commodity it can exploit for ratings, an angel gets its wings.) Tori also would love to be involved in a series-regular capacity, telling People, "I'm obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character's young stepmom...Playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America's most infamous virgin." Either part could work nicely; alternately, they could craft a role around Spelling's gifts, making her the lady who cleans The Talon Salon, the Korean nail studio where the gang gathers daily to gossip and pal around over mani-pedis. ("Tori—you missed a spot!")

Madonna's Most Explicit Album Cover Yet Comes On The Eve Of Her 50th Birthday

If we saw our mother spreading her legs on billboards and in the window displays of old-fashioned CD stores, we'd probably either disown her, change our names or move to Mars. Unless, of course, she was Madonna. Then we might just have to put the poster up in our rooms. Madge is turning 50 this year, and she's not letting that stop her from putting out her single most explicit album cover to date. Even Erotica's open lips and Confessions On A Dance Floor's spread eagle from behind don't compare with the artwork for Hard Candy, which features the B12 shot lover posing as an S&M-inspired boxer (of sorts) waiting to "kick your ass" (just as Madonna promised the album would do). But just because Madonna's putting it all out there now doesn't mean her more suggestive covers weren't ten times sexier.

Take, for example, her three most provocative covers up to this point, 1983's Like A Virgin, 1992's Erotica, and 2005's Confessions:

We happen to think the lacy dress on Virgin is just begging to be lifted up, even if we can't even see the hem. And the close-up shot of Madonna's cherry-lined lips and false eyelashes on Erotica is somehow sexier when drawn in such exaggerated effect, like a page from Playboy coming to life. And then there's her last effort, the leotarded Confessions, which portrays her a disco-happy blonde redhead so enraptured with the music that she doesn't even have time to turn towards the camera. Judging from these three album covers alone, we think Madge is far sexier when she keeps it in her pants.
