• Brandon Walsh might not be heading back to his old zip code but his alter ego may pop in behind the scenes. Jason Priestley told the Daily News he'd like to direct some episodes of the new 90210. The Beverly Hills alum produced and directed a number of episodes throughout the '90s, but why no cameo appearances? Directing is "where I'll be most beneficial," he says. The women of American disagree.

• Top Chef may have wrapped with Stephanie's historic win, but there's a new pint-sized competition coming to Bravo. The network has cooked up Top Chef Junior, where teens will compete to win the title. Let's hope they're serving something other than French fries and pizza.

• Taking a page out of Scott Baio's handbook, Brad Garrett is opening up his personal life for the whole world to see. The divorced actor will be on an Internet reality show where he goes on blind dates with women selected from an online search. Click here to apply.

• Katherine Heigl has taken her name out of the running for an Emmy, saying, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination." You can almost hear the Grey's writers cooking up a coma storyline for Izzie. Jim Spellman/WireImage
