CALLING FOUL
After Jessica Alba details a bad experience on the Beverly Hills, 90210 set, cast members Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth react.
Tension on set! In a new interview, Jessica Alba opened up about an awful experience she had while guest starring on Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1998. “I couldn’t make eye contact with any of the cast members, which was really strange when you’re, like, trying to do a scene with them,” the actress, 39, revealed in the Oct. 1 episode of the web series Hot Ones. “It was like, ‘You’re not allowed to make eye contact with any one of the cast members or you’ll be thrown off set!’” Many were shocked by the Honest co-founder’s claims, but none more so than the stars of the hit ’90s teen drama. “I’m not going to lie to you guys, I was a little horrified when I saw that clip. If there was some cool memo that was going around […] we didn’t know,” Tori Spelling, 47, said on her new podcast, 9021OMG. “Imagine we just thought guest stars didn’t like us. They never looked at us! We don’t know why! We were so nice!” Jennie Garth, who shared the most scenes with Jessica during Season 8, insisted that she didn’t recall the “no eye contact” rule, either. “If anybody...didn’t want to have their eyes looked into, it would have been me,” the actress, 48, admitted. “But I don’t remember because I have the world’s worst memory!” Dog eat your homework, too?
