Looks like Dixon won't be the only 90210 character to get involved with a cougar this winter.

Multiple sources confirm that Kelly Lynch will appear on the show in early 2010. She'll play Laurel, an older, pot-smoking woman that gets involved with Ryan Matthews.

The character will possess a history of sleeping with rock stars and celebrities, but that isn't the news that will throw Ryan for a loop: she's also the mother of one of his students!

Lynch most recently enjoyed a multi-episode run on The L Word. Guess this means Ryan and Jen will soon call it quits. Thank goodness!

Earlier this fall, Greg Vaughan was replaced by Jonathan Jackson on General Hospital.

But it looks like the actor is bouncing back nicely. Earlier this week, he posted the following Tweet:

Why is this a "return" for Vaughan? He actually appeared for six episodes on the original Beverly Hills 90210, starring as Cliff Yeager, a love interest for Tori Spelling's Donna Martin.

It seems unlikely he'll reprise this role, but we'll alert fans to Vaughan's exact character as soon as the information is available.

For now, we'd love to hear from all 90210 fans: How do you feel about the show's planned lesbian storyline?

Samantha Ronson is a British DJ famous for one reason: her roller coaster relationship with Lindsay Lohan.

Ironically, during a recently-announced guest-starring stint on an upcoming 90210 episode, the quasi celebrity will appear as a club goer that gives Navid advice on matters of the heart.

Ronson’s scenes will take place inside a club where singers Pharrell and his group N.E.R.D. perform. Look for her to pop up on the November 3 installment.

The second season premiere of 90210 has earned widespread fan and critical approval for one main reason:

It focused entirely on the show's new, fresh, exciting characters. No offense to Donna or Brenda, but any time spent on their storylines last year felt foreign to any of the main plot point.

That said, we're excited about the CW's upcoming shout-out to Beverly Hills, 90210, as Naomi will start her college search on this season's fifth episode. Can you guess where it will take her? That's right: California University!

Once thee, Naomi will try to seduce the dean’s son, played by Jonathan Trent. Pictured below, Trent appeared as Kyle for three episodes of The OC and as Fassbiner in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Is Jonathan Trent attractive enough to guest star on the show? Sound off about him, and anything else, in our 90210 forum!

Don't worry, fellas.

While 90210 has cast a pair of hunks to play significant roles on season two - namely, Trevor Donovan and Zachary Ray Sherman - the show hasn't forgotten to include some eye candy for its male viewers.

As first reported by TV Guide, Gillian Zinser will join the series as Ivy, a surfer chick that will flirt with both Dixon and Liam.

"She's the quintessential California girl — easy-going, athletic and full of fun," said an insider of Zinser's Ivy's, who will first appear in October.

The actress has already guest-starred on Cold Case, Southland and Cupid.

Season two of 90210 kicks off on September 8 on The CW.
