Jennie Garth is “disappointed” her former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Tori Spelling won’t be a part of the TV show’s remake, and she’s upset by reports a salary feud was to blame for her pal’s decision to quit.

Garth, who reprises her role as Kelly Taylor on the revamped 90210, was looking forward to working with Spelling again and was upset to hear the actress, who was set to return as Donna Martin, had quit the project.

She tells EW.com she’s disappointed by online reports that Spelling dropped out of the new series after failing to land the payday Garth and Shannen Doherty were offered to reprise their characters from the original show.

Garth says, “The press thinks we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori. I’m really bummed because I love Tori and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show. I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid. Her father created the show. It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her. I’ll try to butt my head in whenever I can and tell people what I think about it.”

Spelling reportedly quit the new show after she discovered Garth and Doherty had been offered double her salary.

But Doherty disputes the figures: “They didn’t even get the numbers right, so I don’t know if it’s about the money either.”

For those Beverly Hills, 90210 fans out there who were crushed by recent online reports that Tori Spelling will not be appearing on The CW’s new 90210 reboot this fall, take heart — Jennie Garth feels your pain. The star, who will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor on 90210 this fall, tells EW.com that she was disappointed by online reports that Spelling dropped out of The CW series after not being offered the same amount of money as Garth and fellow former co-star Shannen Doherty. “[The press thinks] we’re at war over salary with Tori. I didn’t know I was at war with Tori,” Garth told EW.com. “I’m really bummed because I love Tori and I was psyched Tori was going to be on the show. I think she should definitely get paid as much as either of us is getting paid. Her father created the show. It just seems wrong if that’s the case. I don’t know what really happened because I haven’t talked to her. I would like to talk to her.”

Doherty adds that she isn’t taking the deadlinehollywooddaily.com report about Spelling’s salary dispute — which claimed Garth and Doherty were being paid “$35,000-$50,000” per episode versus Spelling’s proposed salary of “$10,000-$20,000” per episode — at face value. “They didn’t even get the numbers right,” says the actress, who will reprise her role as Brenda Walsh on The CW’s drama, “so I don’t know if it’s about the money either.”

Whatever the case, Garth hopes the door isn’t closed on Donna Martin’s return: “I’ll try to butt my head in whenever I can and tell people what I think about it.” When asked for a comment about Spelling’s discussions with the network, a CW spokesman said simply, “The CW has no deal with Tori Spelling to appear on 90210 at this time.”

Jennie Garth has confirmed she will return the new spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210 after months of speculation.

The star fuelled rumors she had agreed to star in the new show after she abruptly quit TV series My Best Friend’s Girl last month.

Garth was slated to star in the pilot for the comedy, but walked away from the project at the last minute, prompting producers to replace her with Kristin Booth.

She is the first original character to be signed to appear in the remake - although many former stars including Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering have both spoken out about their ambitions to star in the new venture.

Garth will make special guest appearances on the show as her former character Kelly Taylor and will play a guidance counsellor.

Could Jennie Garth be joining CW’s upcoming 90210 spin-off?

That’s the latest buzz swirling since Garth, 35, recently quit CBS’ upcoming comedy pilot My Best Friend’s Girl.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, she dropped out Monday after a table read.

The trade reports that it was “a mutual decision between her and the producers” as Garth was still coping with the death of her father, who passed away after she was cast. (Actress Kristin Booth — who once guest starred on Supernatural — will replace her.)

Garth — one of Us Weekly’s Weight Winners of the Year — may not have trouble finding work.

According the the Reporter, Rob Thomas, writer of the 90210 spin-off, has been looking to potentially recruit Garth to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor. She could play a fashion design teacher on the show.

I cannot believe she got booted! Marie Osmond should’ve gone before her. On a happier note, read this article from TV Guide I found about Jennie’s husband, actor Peter Facinelli. What a cute couple they are & what a sweet man!

Jennie Garth’s husband, actor Peter Facinelli, wasn’t sure if Dancing with the Stars‘ cameras were still running. His wife had just been eliminated on Tuesday night and was crying, caught up in a group hug with the other semifinalists and pros in the middle of the dance floor. “I was waiting for the cameras to stop,” says Facinelli. “But then I said, ‘Aw, screw it,’ and I ran out there. Because I knew she needed me.”

The cameras had, in fact, gone to black. So what you didn’t see was that Facinelli broke through the circle of love, grabbed his wife and gave her the longest, most beautiful kiss. “I forgot that anybody was out there,” he says, just moments later. “It was like nobody was there except the two of us.”

“He’s my baby,” says Garth. Did she know he was going to engage in such a public display of affection? “No, but I knew he couldn’t sit there and endure it.”

Swoon.

Here are all the ladies from last night!
