...Peach Pit is now serving tall skinny lattes. On Beverly Hills, 90210, the suspiciously unlined mother of all teen soaps, which ran from 1990 to 2000, even the richest kids were happy with an after-school Coke at the retro diner. Not so on just plain 90210, an extreme makeover of the '90s show debuting Sept. 2 on the CW network with new characters and - in teen years - a geologic era's worth of social and cultural updates...

...tall, athletic Serb in his mid-40s, with blue eyes and curly long blond hair, comes into the courtyard. He walks over to the group of Cossacks, picks the oldest one out of the group and gives him a big hug and a kiss on each cheek. According to two of the men in the courtyard, the Serb, who is wearing new fatigues and slightly worn Asolo hiking boots, had fought Bosnia and is now there to fight in South Ossetia and Georgia. He may have fought in Chechnya, but no one will say. I talk...
