rumer willis goes gay
it looks like bruce and demi's daughter may finally have an acting job that lasts more than a day. rumer willis is being brought back to 90210 for quite the story line: sexual experimentation. what started off as a one-off guest spot has turned into a recurring gig, with rumer's character gia, a reporter for the west beverly blaze, turning one of the shows star characters, adrianna, to the other team. so, if you're keeping track, adrianna has gone through being a drug addict and rehab, becoming a teen mother and giving the baby up for adoption, and taking navid's virginity and then dumping him for her ex. what else can they put this girl through!? originally, 90210's navid was supposed to be a gay character but the network scrapped that idea for fear of turning off viewers. i guess now that the show has an established fan base, and a new showrunner, they're willing to experiment a little. and don't think this is just some ratings stunt (though it does seem to fall during sweeps?). the creative team wants viewers to know that this will be a real relationship, not just a "fling." hmm...sounds a lot like a storyline mischa barton had on the oc, no? at this point, rumer's guest stint is open ended and might even turn into a regular gig. 90210 returns with new episodes this tuesday.
