90210 loses all hope; Kristen Bell not sticking with TV?
What could be better than the news of a 9-0 spin off? Hearing that talented Veronica Mars boss Rob Thomas would be the main man behind the new edition, of course!
A source close to the spin-off says that Rob is still committed to the show, and was in casting sessions as late as Friday. However, another insider tells me that
As for Mr. Thomas' two projects at ABC, a remake of his 1998 series Cupid and a dramedy about a family of thieves,

Exclusive: Rob Thomas Confirms He's Making Room for New 90210 Writers
What could be better than the news of a 9-0 spin off? Hearing that talented Veronica Mars boss Rob Thomas would be the main man behind the new edition, of course!
But sadly, inside sources are now saying that Rob is stepping aside in order to focus on his other two pilots, both for ABC.
Word is he’ll stay on to consult, but the CW is currently looking for a new show runner to helm the series.I checked in with Rob earlier today and he confirmed to me that the network is looking for another writer to take a stab at the 90210 pilot script: "I'd do the additional pass, but I'm swamped with the two other projects and ABC has me in first position."
A source close to the spin-off says that Rob is still committed to the show, and was in casting sessions as late as Friday. However, another insider tells me that
production of the series has now been pushed back to summer, and won't begin until a new head honcho has been named.
As for Mr. Thomas' two projects at ABC, a remake of his 1998 series Cupid and a dramedy about a family of thieves,
Rob tells me the possibility of former Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell signing on to star in one of them looks slim, even though she recently told me there
is
talk of this. Says Rob, "It's not going to happen. Kristen wants to pursue movie interests, though we'd love to work with each other again."So... you're saying there's a chance?!

As much as Veronica Mars sucked by the end, the first season was pretty damn amazing. Rob Thomas gave me hope that we'd get one awesome season out of 9-oh as well. Now, they might as well pair it with One Tree Hill, for a night of suckage (OH NO SHE DIDN'T!).
