*Hot Listed Exclusive*: Shannen Doherty: No More 90210 in the Works For Me

Shannen Doherty + 90210 just might = dunzo.

Fans of the original 90210, like myself, were shocked when Doherty signed on to the spinoff series to reprise her role as Brenda Walsh. I, personally, couldn't bare to watch some revival when my heart will always and forever lie with the original. Okay, but that's another story.

Either way, Doherty's presence on the show--along with Jennie Garth's and Tori Spelling's--was what really seemed to draw a viewership to the show's 2.0 version. But according to the reformed Hollywood bad girl, the show's veterans are bidding adieu to their beloved zipcode.

"It’s enough," Doherty told me last night. "You can’t be supported by Brenda or Donna or Kelly anymore. You’ve really got to sort of fly on your own. I think that’s a good idea."

But...that doesn't mean Doherty wouldn't be willing to come back to the show if her fans begged and pleaded. "I did it last season for the fans as well," she said. "But, I’m totally respectful and understanding of the fact that the producers really want the new cast to take off the training wheels."

In fact, Doherty believes Jessica Stroup (who plays Silver) can carry the show on her own. "To me, Jessica Stroup is the breakout," Doherty said. "She is stunning. And she’s not traditionally your typical beautiful girl. And I like her personality. She’s super smart."

Do I sense a girl crush here? Aww...

Rainbow Br-eye-t

Eyeliner is a tricky thing. I love it because it really spruces up the eyes and applied eyeshadow, but at the same time, it can smudge easily and cause your eyes to water.

So, when I came across the new MAC Technakohl Eye-Liner last time I was at The Grove's Nordstrom, I was hesitant to purchase the eye-catching (pun intended, sure) colors this new line had to offer. I usually wear eyeliner on the lid of my eyes, but I always avoid underneath. In the case of these shades, however, they look so soft and light, so it's almost like you have to wear them underneath the eye to really make them stand out.

The MAC sales people obviously showed me their perfectly penciled eyes and told me that their eyes never water, yada yada yada, but again, these are the "sales people" talking. Either way, I couldn't resist trying a couple colors because I've been waiting anxiously for MAC to finally release multi-colored eyeliner shades. I ended up purchasing neon blue (Artistic License) and magenta (Full of Fuchsia), both $14.50. Since buying and trying, I have not let the shades out of my sight. Not only do they go on smoothly with no smudging or eye-tearing, they also really bring out my eyeshadow, but not too outrageously. I even wear the shades to work. They're great because if you have a lazy day and don't apply eyeshadow, these liners can spruce up your eyes in no time.

There are 15 different Technakohl shades, including 5 neon-ish ones, which are clearly my pick.

*Hot Listed Exclusive*: Are Kristin Cavallari & Audrina Patridge Finally Ready to Bury the Hatchet?

Kristin Cavallari may seem crazy and dramatic in those upcoming Hills previews, but believe it or not, she's actually also been trying to play peacemaker.

As we all know by now, Cavallari and Hills O.G. Audrina Patridge have butt heads ever since Cavs started filming with the cast and began to get cozy with Patridge's ex, Justin "Bobby" Brescia. But it sounds like Cavallari is finally ready to put the dramz aside.

"I know that Kristin just had a party in Malibu and she said that she invited Audrina, but Audrina didn’t come," fellow Hillster Holly Montag told me. "She extended the olive branch. She tried taking little baby steps, but I don’t know where it’s going to lead."

And while I'm not sure why Patridge didn't accept her frenemy's invitation, I have a pretty good idea why Cavallari wants to let bygones be bygones. "I think Kristin would rather not have any negative energy, and she wanted to bury the hatchet," Montag said.

Guess we'll just have to tune into The Hills to see how everything pans out!

*Hot Listed Exclusive*: AnnaLynne McCord Says No Thanks to Hugh Hefner

It's no secret that 90210's AnnaLynne McCord enjoys showing off her hot bod. Heck she doesn't even mind a skinny dip or two (see above). But the scantily clad starlet has her limits.

"AnnaLynne would definitely not pose for Playboy," the sexpot's sis Angel told me recently. "I know that she’s already said no about that one."

But the McCord clan doesn't knock the XXX-rated monthly entirely. "We love Playboy though," Angel said. "We really love it. But I’m going to speak on behalf of all of us and say that we probably won’t be posing in it."

We're going to have to commend A.L. for this one and say way to keep it classy!

A Storm...On the Rocks, Please

When I go to Oregon, I can usually depend on trying a never-before-tasted beer. Never, however, did I expect to discover the smoothest, freshest vodka. I've always been loyal to Grey Goose, but Rain Organics just might give the Goose a run for its money. I was hanging out with some pals at Rennie's, a local college bar on the University of Oregon's campus in Eugene. I don't do sugary sweet drinks, but I don't like bourbons or tequilas either. And rum is like a sedative, while beer goes straight to the tum-tum. So that leaves me with not many options. Basically, I just drink vodka-soda or extra dirty vodka martinis. But I felt like changing it up. So, the bartender suggested a Cucumber vodka cocktail. I thought that sounded amazing! And sure enough, it was! Rain vodka (which I hadn't heard of until this drink was made) makes this amazing cucumber lime vodka flavor, which is not only delish, but it's organic (I know many of you take great pleasure knowing that little tidbit). The line also makes some other light unique flavors, including Honey Mango Melon, Red Grape Hibiscus and Lavendar Lemonade.

RECOMMENDATION WITHIN A RECOMMENDATION:
Make sure you get a cucumber garnish to top off the drink. But also, make sure the servings are half flavored vodka and half regular. This vodka still does taste slightly sugary, so too much can be overload. Anyway, with that said, I'd say half a shot of cucumber lime vodka + half a shot of regular vodka + soda water + cucumber slice garnish = delight. Please try and let me know!

PRICE: $18.99
