...surface, the new 90210 doesn't sound all that different from the old. Replacing the Walshes of Minnesota are the Wilsons of Kansas, who move to Beverly Hills to care for an alcoholic grandmother, Tabitha (Jessica Walter, best known for playing another boozy matriarch, Arrested Development's Lucille Bluth). Like Brenda and Brandon parking their Chevy Chevette in the high school lot next to BMWs and Porsches in the 1990 pilot, new siblings Annie (Shenae Grimes of Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds of The Wire) arrive as all-American kids trying to fit in among some...

Aaron Peirsol held on to his Olympic champion title in the 100m backstroke by setting a new world record, and Olympic newcomer Rebecca Soni, a last minute substitute in the 100m breaststroke after teammate Jessica Hardy was pulled off for a doping violation, collected an unexpected silver. "It's great to see others getting involved, especially when everyone is so competitive," says Mark Schubert, head national team coach.
