Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jason Priestley is unrecognizable in new video

Published by Daniella Wilson

Beverly Hills, 90210 star Jason Priestley looked virtually unrecognizable from his days as a teen idol in a new video posted to Instagram, which saw the actor speaking about his latest TV venture.  The 56-year-old spoke directly to the camera as he shared the good news that his show, Private Eyes West Coast, was coming to The CW network. The series is a spinoff of the Canadian show by the same name, and will see Jason star in and executive produce the project.  The father of two looked so different in the clip, clad in a navy hoodie and sporting a graying beard. Jason’s piercing blue eyes still commanded attention, 26 years on from his star-making turn as Brandon Walsh in Beverly Hills, 90210.  © InstagramJason looked so different in the social media clip Friends and fans took to the comment section to share their congratulations with Jason, including his former co-star, Tiffani Thiessen, who commented a series of clapping emojis; his daughter, Ava Priestley, who wrote: “YAY DAD!!!”; and his other 90210 co-star, Jennie Garth, who added several heart emojis.  The actor has undergone a major transformation in …

What I Learned After Getting Kicked Out of Alix Earle’s Beverly Hills Pop-up

What I Learned After Getting Kicked Out of Alix Earle’s Beverly Hills Pop-up

Published by Sam Flores

The line outside Leora curled around the block—slick ponytails and ALO Yoga sets. These queued-up loyalists were there to see Alix Earle, who, to them, is the living embodiment of “realness.” Earle was hosting a pop-up for her skin-care brand, Reale Actives, at the TikTok-famous cafe in Beverly Hills on Thursday. The brand’s four products sold out within 10 hours when it launched on March 31, so some of Earle’s girlies were waiting in line to get second dibs. I was there for a completely unrelated meeting with the chief of staff at Klutch Sports (they have smoothie at Leora named after the agency’s founder Rich Paul) when I noticed some fuss brewing in the back. I walked over to try and take some photos, but Earle’s team immediately came over, told me to stop, and swiftly denied my request for an interview. Outside, the energy among those waiting in line for skin care was less retail, more rally. “I just love how open and honest and real she is about stuff…. You can just …

Eric Swalwell’s Beverly Hills Benefactor Wonders If He Missed “a Big Known Secret in DC”

Eric Swalwell’s Beverly Hills Benefactor Wonders If He Missed “a Big Known Secret in DC”

Published by Sam Flores

Two days before Eric Swalwell ended his campaign for California governor amid a string of sexual assault and misconduct allegations, the now former congressman recorded a video at Stephen Cloobeck’s Beverly Hills mansion—reportedly worth $26 million—where he had stayed numerous times during the race. “A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly,” Swalwell said, staring into the camera. “These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They’re absolutely false.” On Tuesday, he resigned from Congress. Cloobeck is an offbeat, self-described billionaire who made his fortune in timeshare real estate—though some estimates place his net worth in the mere many millions. He had been making his own bid for governor before dropping out in November and throwing $1 million behind Swalwell. In an interview with Vanity Fair on Monday, he insisted that the allegations that ended Swalwell’s campaign came as a surprise. “If this was such a big known secret in DC,” Cloobeck tells me, referring to a consensus …

Garth, 54, played Kelly Taylor on Fox’s seminal 1990s drama about a group of high school friends living in the affluent neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California. Speaking on the latest episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast about her forthcoming memoir, I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention, Garth recalled being “sent out” to press events for the hit show. “It was pandemonium,” Garth recalled. “And after that started happening, I started to develop agoraphobia. Like I never left my house.” Garth said her agoraphobia — fear of situations where escape may be difficult — arose from the hordes of fans who would attend these events. She recalled one particular …

The Osbournes have tried 10 times to buy back Beverly Hills mansion

Published by Sam Flores

The Osbournes have tried to buy back their famous Beverly Hills mansion 10 times – but they keep being rejected. Kelly Osbourne has told how she and her relatives, mum Sharon Osbourne and brother Jack Osbourne, are keen to purchase the plush pad, where they filmed MTV reality TV show The Osbournes alongside Kelly and Jack’s father, late rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who died last year aged 76. Speaking in YouTube video Omaze Presents: Homes That Made Me with Kelly Osbourne, she said: “We’ve asked about 10 times if we can buy it back and they keep saying no, even though they’re never even there, the people who currently own it. “But it was a great house.” Kelly has “fond memories” of the abode, because it changed her life forever when she starred on The Osbournes, but she also recalls her mum Sharon going through a colon cancer battle while they lived at the property in 2002. She said: “That house will always be one of the best places we ever lived, and I have such …

Jaylen Brown video sparks furor over how Beverly Hills police treat Black people

Jaylen Brown video sparks furor over how Beverly Hills police treat Black people

Published by Sam Flores

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was in the middle of a brand event at a Beverly Hills mansion on Valentine’s Day when police showed up. It was 7 p.m., and the music for the event — an invite-only gathering for his 741 Performance brand — had long been silent. Brown came down to talk to an officer, expressing confusion at why police had been called. “We’re just trying to have an event — a panel talking about culture, talking about future, talking about leadership, and for whatever reason I feel like we’re being targeted,” Brown said in a video of the encounter posted on social media. He asked the officer why the city was shutting it down. “It’s beyond my pay grade,” the officer replied. “They want it shut down.” The video immediately went viral, with many questioning why the city shut down what appeared to be a calm event. The debate was framed by a series of incidents in recent years in which the local Police Department was accused of profiling Black people. Beverly …

Trump’s deportations are losing him the ‘Mexican Beverly Hills’

Trump’s deportations are losing him the ‘Mexican Beverly Hills’

Published by Sam Flores

Carlos Aranibar is a former Downey public works commissioner and remains involved in local Democratic politics. But until a few weeks ago, the son of Bolivian and Mexican immigrants hadn’t joined any actions against the immigration raids that have overwhelmed Southern California. Life always seemed to get in the way. Downey hadn’t been hit as hard as other cities in southeast L.A. County, where elected officials and local leaders urged residents to resist and helped them organize. Besides, we’re talking about Downey, a city that advocates and detractors alike hyperbolically call the “Mexican Beverly Hills” for its middle-class Latino life and conservative streak. Voters recalled a council member in 2023 for being too wokosa, and the council decided the next year to block the Pride flag from flying on city property. A few months later, Donald Trump received an 18.8% increase in voters compared with 2020 — part of a historic shift by Latino voters toward the Republican Party. That’s now going up in flames. But it took a while for Aranibar to full-on join …

Tori Adams upgraded her home inside a rented Beverly Hills space

Published by Sam Flores

Tori Adams has always loved Los Angeles real estate. As a little girl growing up in Burbank, she remembers asking her mom to take her to open houses she’d find in the newspaper. She even has a tattoo of her childhood home, a one-story home with a flat midcentury roof in Burbank on the inside of her forearm. But as an adult, she found herself living in 12 spaces over 10 years, trying to find the perfect fit like a Los Angeles Goldilocks. In this series, we spotlight L.A. rentals with style. From perfect gallery walls to temporary decor hacks, these renters get creative, even in small spaces. And Angelenos need the inspiration: Most are renters. It started in college — she went to UCLA with a major in history — where it was commonplace to move every year. Then, once she graduated and began working as a writer and editor at publications including Flaunt, the Hollywood Reporter and Playboy, she flip-flopped between places, racking up nearly 20 roommates from Westwood to North Hollywood.
