Remember This Zip Code?
I’m sure you’re all familiar with a little show called Beverly Hills, 90210 that preoccupied the lives of just about every adolescent for a decade. Fox is set to air a special Beverly Hills, 90210: 10-Year High School Reunion on May 11 at 9 p.m. eastern time.
Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Luke Perry, Jennie Garth, and Gabrielle Carteris are headlining the list of cast members who will share stories and memories from their years working on the show.

Last time I checked, disappearing and being brutally murdered are two different things. After escaping double homicide charges, you would think that O.J. “The Juice” Simpson would have enough common sense to keep his mouth shut. But as usual, he defies all sensible logic.
