Have You Seen This Gimmick

Much as Spy invested sarcasm, Suck invented blogging sarcastically. Or something. It was an internet magazine, like Slate and Salon except it didn't make you want to claw your eyes out, which is why it's defunct now. But everyone remembers it, and its glorious heyday. Greg Allen still has a bottle of Suck Soda. Which is tragic. He would like to know if anyone else has one. [Greg.org via Kottke, natch]

Newest Additions to '90210' Spinoff Finally Spark Our Interest

When we first heard the idea of a reimagined Beverly Hills: 90210, we believed it would be impossible to recreate the teary, teenybop magic of the original series. Who could possibly sneer like Luke Perry? Or turn the world on with his smile like Jason Priestley? But the Rob "Not Matchbox 20 Rob" Thomas-produced spinoff slated for CW's upcoming fall season is charging full-speed ahead, leaking news of potential cast members burdened with the challenge of filling our favorite Peach Pit regulars' Reeboks. Though recent casting announcements have been less than thrilling, two new additions have us busting out our dusty 90210 drinking game rule book once again. As E! News reports, "Producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary [Duff] to offer her a starring role in the series." News on the other confirmed West Beverly students, plus which alum from the original has signed on to reprise their old role, after the jump.
