90210 fans rejoice: Tori Spelling is going back to reprise her role as Donna Martin. When the hit 90s series was revamped and brought back to TV last year, Spelling was offered a part on the show, but rejected the role due to "salary disagreements."
Either Tori Spelling is now willing to take a pay cut, or she found some way to her the monetary boost (help from daddy, perhaps?) Maybe she couldn't handle her former co-stars Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty basking in the re-found limelight without her.
Regardless, it's interesting to see that an old TV show is making a comeback, not just reprising the same Beverly Hills area code and general theme, but with the exact same characters who starred in the original two decades prior.
