Blind Items Revealed
September 2, 2010
In honor of 90210 day, I bring to you one of my favorite blind items from the past. This one I wrote in January of 2008, so that will hopefully explain The Time references. Now I want to hear The Bird. I can't even type their name without singing that song. Anyway, this blind is all about 90210.
January 24, 2008
So a little change of pace. After I saw that The Time was going to play the Grammy Awards it got me thinking about a time when I was just starting out. I used to promote concerts to get through school. This was when little guys still could do it and corporations had not swallowed up every possible venue. I had promoted The Time two or three times and made some money. I had got to know some of the group and once we happened to be in Las Vegas at the same time. They invited me to their show and to a party they were having after. I want to say they were playing at the Riviera, but I can't remember. I think it was because this was when Frank Sinatra was still alive and I remember thinking I had seen him play in the same room a week earlier and how crazy Vegas is that two totally different acts can both pack in a crowd. Of course Sinatra tickets were three times the price of The Time tickets.
Anyway, after the show, we went to a club or two, but this was still the older Vegas. Excalibur was the only big new hotel. Everything else was still to come. The clubs were still very rough around the edges. Very rough. So, after seeing a possible stabbing death at the second club we went to, we decided to head back to the hotel and one of their suites. I don't remember anyone calling anyone but all of a sudden the place was absolutely packed. Packed like it took you five full minutes to make your way across the room from one side to the other.
There was one clear area though and it was this big glass table. It was probably seven feet long and three feet wide. Sitting around the table were people basically two deep. The top of the table was covered in coke. I had seen people do coke before and thought I had seen a lot on a table before, but this was the most ever. None of the guys from The Time were touching it. I do remember that. BUT, I do remember that there were two people from this brand new television show called Beverly Hills 90210 who were sucking coke down like someone was trying to steal it from them. Most people were being very patient and chatting in between lines. Not these two. One female and one male were all over it. They were outdone in their zest for the drug only by this actress from Saved By The Bell. I honestly thought they were going to fight for it. Later, after the crowd had thinned I saw the male from 90210 and the actress from Saved By The Bell getting it on in a corner. She was pretty hot, I have to tell you. The guy I remember was very sweaty. The actress from 90210 never left the coke. Ever. Not until it was all gone. Then she got up, and left. Didn't say goodbye or anything. Just walked out and left. Hell of a night.
The actress from 90210 who stayed until it was all gone was Shannen Doherty

I am beside myself that someone that tiny didn't literally blow their mind up, an lived to die another day.
Does anyone find this surprising?
nope, not one bit. I am sure the twit who stripped (my only way of thinking of her) was the actress from Saved....wonder who the actor was?
Who was the Saved By The Bell girl? Tiffani?
I think the saved by the bell girl was either tiffani theissen or elizabeth berkley.
the couple having sex could have been tiffani and bryan austin green, they dated for a few years in the early 90s
well that explains a lot.
Awesome reveal.
Enty, these reveals are AWESOME!
I knew it! I'm also glad that it wasn't Jenny Garth. I always liked her.
Loving these reveals!
I remember that story from the first time around. I think Shannen was the popular guess. Would like to know who the others were, though.
Loving these reveals indeed!
no wonder there is so much rhinoplasty in hollywood - doing that much coke ruins the inside of one's nose and has to be reconstructed. yikes.
Great reveals, Enty! Shannon Doherty must have a Dorian-Gray style painting in her attic; amazed she survived the 90's.
I do not want the Saved by the Bell girl to be Tiffani. I liked her then and I love her on White Collar now. I want it to be someone I could care less about. Like Lark or Elizabeth. :-)
A BH-Niner reveal! I love it! Not surprised on Shannon. I wondered who the other two were also!? I was thinking Elizabeth Berkeley & Luke Perry?
Oh boy, all these reveals are like Christmas coming early! Awesome!
Thanks Enty!
Uh, wasn't Brian Austin Green like 14 when BH 90210 was a brand new show?
I think its the guy who played Steve Sanders.
This is a huge reveal! Thanks, Enty!!!
Okay, just checked... BAG was 17 in 1990 when 90210 was brand new, so technically possible I guess, but a bit of a stretch. However, Tiffani Thiessen was only 16.
Wouldn't SOMEONE at this party care if two kids were hogging all the coke?
dammit
Like New Year's day all over again.
What about the blond guy who was on the first season or so whose character wound up shooting himself in the head? He was B.A.G.'s friend. I think he disappeared from acting altogether.
