7th HEAVEN May Be the Latest '90s Show to Get a Reboot
When you think of the WB network, you probably think of iconic '90s/early 2000s shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek, and Smallville. But the longest-running WB show, and their biggest ratings grabber, was the wholesome family drama 7th Heaven. The show, about a California minister and his rather large family, ran for a whopping eleven seasons. It outlasted the WB itself, and finished its run on the CW. Now, according to Deadline, the show is getting a reboot via CBS Studios, with original star Jessica Biel as a producer. What remains unclear is whether or not this will be a total reboot, or some kind of legacy sequel continuation of the original 7th Heaven series. We're going to lean toward total reboot, as the family patriarch of the show, actor Stephen Collins, admitted to several heinous crimes in recent years. We won't get into the specifics of what they are. But if you're curious, there's a whole episode of Hollywood Demons on HBO Max covering it. So the series lead from the original show almost certainly won't be coming back. But with Jessica Biel involved, maybe she carries on the torch? We don't really know at this point. 7th Heaven became one of the last hits produced by television legend Aaron Spelling. From the '70s through the '90s, Spelling produced a metric ton of hit shows that remain iconic to this day. Among them are Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, and Charmed. Much of the Spelling library is now owned by CBS Studios. They've looked to capitalize on the late Mr. Spelling's iconic brand of shows for the streaming era. We'll soon find out if 7th Heaven can find a new life in a landscape where television is so different.

Tori Spelling admits a question from her daughter pushed her to divorce Dean McDermott
Tori Spelling's split from Dean McDermott may have been a long time coming, but it wasn't until the couple's youngest daughter asked a heartbreaking question that the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star ultimately made the decision to walk away from her 18-year marriage. During a recent episode of her podcast "misSPELLING," the 51-year-old opened up about how Hattie, 13, once asked a heartbreaking question that forced her to reevaluate her life. Spelling recalled her daughter once asking her, "Have you ever considered what it would be like to be with someone else and not Dad and get treated right?" While Spelling said Hattie "loves her dad," the children were aware the marriage had become toxic. "It got to the point where it was worse for the kids to see us together," Spelling said. "We could no longer hide what was happening, the fights." "He was an addict going through a lot, and a lot of it was taken out on me. And she saw that," Spelling continued. "I didn't like the person I was, trying to raise strong humans and just taking it and taking it." "On my part, at least, the want of kids, just always wanting their parents together, I think kept me from making what was outwardly a better decision for them than what they saw between two partners," she added. "That kept me in the relationship far too long, and it ultimately, I feel, did a disservice to my kids." The former couple share five children together – Beau, 8, Finn, 12, Hattie, 13, Stella, 16, and Liam, 18. Spelling first filed for divorce on March 29, 2024. She cited June 17, 2023, as the couple's date of separation. The actress requested spousal support from McDermott and asked to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support to her estranged husband. Spelling also requested full custody of the children along with joint legal custody. McDermott first announced the couple's separation on Instagram in June 2023, but quickly deleted the post. "It's with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own," he wrote at the time. That same year, McDermott spoke about how his struggle with addiction eventually led to the couple's downfall. "All Tori's ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy, and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman. I'm taking accountability for that today," McDermott, who checked himself into a rehab facility, told the Daily Mail at the time. "And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make." "Alcohol made me feel good enough," he continued. "I started feeling good enough until it got to a point where it didn't – it ended up in isolation. It ended up with me drinking a fifth of tequila every night, seven days a week, and a handful of narcos [prescription meds] by myself with a beautiful family in the other room." "That's what it led to and that's what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori. I couldn't do it anymore," he added. "I couldn't live that life anymore. I was tired of the anger and the yelling." When he was in this state, McDermott said he would go into rages that left Spelling and their five children "petrified." He would also pass out to the point where Spelling felt the need to make sure he was still alive. McDermott celebrated one year of sobriety in July 2024.

Tori Spelling Sometimes Wishes Her Sex Tape Had Leaked
Tori Spelling claims she has few regrets in her life ― except about that sex tape she made with ex-husband Dean McDermott. She wishes it had gone public ― even though she said she never watched it after making it. The former 'Beverly Hills: 90210' star recently dished about the sex tape on her 'MisSPELLING' podcast and said she and McDermott filmed it on Valentine's Day sometime during the 5-year run of their reality show, 'Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.' Spelling told her guest, singer Aubrey O'Day, that the idea came up when Spelling was in New York and McDermott, who was working on a movie at the time, came to visit her. 'He was like, 'Hey, let's film ourselves having sex,'' Spelling said, adding, 'We had never done it before, you know, married for years, and I think we only had two kids by then.' But even though Spellling said she made the homemade porn tape with her ex, she insists she 'never even watched it back.' However, somebody apparently did. 'Anyway, we never locked our shit up,' Spelling explained. 'We trusted everybody. [Dean] had our computer at home, and a friend he thought wasa friend stayed at our house. ' When the couple took their kids to Hawaii, the friend stayed behind at the house only to take the computer and attempt to sell the sex tape to porn company Vivid Entertainment, Spelling said. 'They actually contacted us and said, 'We want to let you know we didn't accept it,' ' she said. 'I said, 'Why? Were my angles not good?'' Spelling said she and McDermott went to court to file a restraining order against his so-called friend, and they eventually got the tape back. Sound like a happy ending? Maybe, but Spelling sometimes wonders if she made the wrong decision. 'I don't believe in regrets, but I'm bummed I said no to 'Playboy,' and now at 51, I wish I had been on the cover of fucking 'Playboy!'' Spelling said. 'I was doing it with my husband, and we were together. I should have let that sex tape go out.' You can hear the complete podcast episdoe below, with the sex tape discussion starting around the 14:00 mark.

Tori Spelling calls Shannen Doherty's 'shocking' Oscars in memoriam snub 'triggering'
Hear this story Shannen Doherty's in memoriam Oscars snub was a tough pill to swallow for Tori Spelling. In an episode of the "Let's Be Clear" podcast released Monday, the actress said it was "heartbreaking" and "truly shocking" that Doherty, her former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star, was left out of the in memoriam segment at last month's Academy Awards. "I couldn't believe it," she said. "When the in memoriam stopped and she hadn't been included, my heart dropped. It sank." Spelling went on to say that Doherty, who died from cancer last year, not being honored at the Oscars "personally felt a little triggering to me because this is the third person that I love that has been left out of the" in memoriam segment after her father, producer Aaron Spelling, and her former co-star Luke Perry were also not included after their deaths. "For all of us watching that loved her and loved her work, it felt like not only was she robbed, but we were robbed," Spelling said. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Though Doherty was perhaps best known for her television work on shows like "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed," Spelling argued she should have been honored at the Oscars because "it's really the big screen where her career thrived." Doherty's notable movie credits included "Heathers" and "Mallrats." Michelle Trachtenberg left out of Oscars' in memoriam tribute Spelling spent the rest of the podcast episode looking back at Doherty's career, offering her the tribute she felt the actress was denied at the Oscars. Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on "Beverly Hills, 90210," died in July after a battle with cancer at age 53. She was one of a number of actors controversially left out of this year's Oscars in memoriam tribute to those who died over the past year, with Olivia Hussey, Tony Todd and Michelle Trachtenberg also not included. Perry's absence from the Oscars' in memoriam similarly sparked backlash in 2020 after the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actor died the previous year from a stroke. At the time, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said in a statement, "The Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues in the Oscars in memoriam segment. An executive committee representing every branch considers the list and makes selections for the telecast based on limited available time."
