Spelling, Garth in for '90210' Spinoff

LOS ANGELES (May 12) - It's official -- the CW on Sunday picked up the "Beverly Hills, 90210" spinoff to develop as a series.

In other and perhaps more interesting news, original cast members Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling are returning for the new series. Garth has signed on in a recurring role, reprising the part of Kelly Taylor, who now will be a guidance counselor at her West Beverly Hills High alma mater. And Usmagazine.com is reporting that Tori Spelling -- Ms. Donna Martin herself -- is also onboard.

"90210" centers on a three-generation Beverly Hills family, including a hard-drinking grandmother (Jessica Walter), a former Olympian mom (Laurie Laughlin) and her teenaged daughter (Shenae Grimes).
