Brenda is back in her old zip code!

“Shannen Doherty will be returning to 90210,” Gabe Sachs, executive producer of the CW’s new spin-off, said during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

“Shannen is looking forward to returning to 90210,” Doherty’s rep tells People exclusively.

Doherty, who played the twin sister to Jason Priestley’s character Brandon Walsh for four seasons of the original Beverly Hills, 90210, will return as Brenda Walsh when the new show premieres Sept. 2.

Now, Brenda will be a visiting drama teacher who directs a musical at West Beverly High School.

Jennie Garth was the first original 90210 cast member to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor, who will be a counselor who at West Beverly.

Earlier this month, Tori Spelling, who played Donna Martin in the original, was also announced as a returning cast member but said she would be unable to appear in the pilot of the spin-off after giving birth to her daughter in June.

“I’m looking forward to returning to 90210 in a later episode,” Spelling told People earlier this month.

According to Sachs, original cast members won’t just have cameos. “They will be in multiple episodes,” he said at the TCA event.

Angelina Jolie has left hospital in France - fooling the paparazzi to bring her newborn twins home without interruption.

Jolie gave birth to son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline by Caesarian section at the Fondation Lenval hospital in France on Saturday.

And after a brief stay, the Hollywood actress and her partner Brad Pitt left the medical center early on Saturday morning - slipping out the back entrance to avoid the crowds of photographers awaiting the couple’s departure.

A statement from hospital officials has thanked the pair for choosing to host the birth there.

It reads, “Mrs (sic) Angelina Jolie left the clinic Santa Maria of Fondation Lenval early in the morning, on July 19. The mother and her babies are doing very well. The general management of Lenval and Santa Maria want to thank the team for the attention and care they pay to the family, and those of the journalists around the hospital who did their best to respect their privacy.”
The twins are the fifth and sixth additions to Jolie and Pitt’s family - the couple has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, three year old Zahara, and biological daughter Shiloh, two.

An arrest warrant for troubled rocker Pete Doherty was withdrawn just hours after it was issued - in an ongoing row over missed court appearances.

The Babyshambles frontman was expected to appear in court in Somerset, England on Thursday to enter a plea after allegedly attacking a female press photographer last summer.

He was charged with criminal damage to Catherine Mead’s camera lens following the incident.

But after the star failed to show up - his second missed hearing in the case - magistrates in Yeovil, Somerset issued a warrant for his arrest without bail.

However, following intervention from Doherty’s lawyers the warrant was withdrawn just a few hours later.

A spokesman for the star says, “The matter has been resolved and the warrant has been withdrawn.”
