Some news items you might have missed: • Monday Memory: One of those “Can you believe this is happening?” moments – back when Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering was the celebrity guest host of Chippendales here in Las Vegas, and his two 90210 co-stars Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth came to see Ian in the show. This was snapped backstage before the show. #GoodtimesYahoo News: Four months before the wedding of a gay couple in the UK, the mother of one of the grooms received an anonymous note claiming it was the ‘consensus of the village’ that if the wedding was going to happen then “it should do so far, far away from the village.” The mother did not tell her son before the nuptials, but police are investigating the homophobic note. • OUT: Only five of the long list of Democratic presidential candidates have confirmed for both of the upcoming LGBTQ-centric events – the GLAAD-sponsored LGBTQ presidential forum in Iowa, and the HRC-sponsored LGBTQ CNN Town Hall. • TIME: Hollywood’s wonder gay Ryan Murphy has announced he is adapting the legendary Broadway musical A Chorus Line into a 10-episode miniseries for Netflix. #Hmmm • Hollywood Reporter: The cast and creators of the CW series Riverdale, as well as actress Octavia Spencer, will be honored at this year’s GLSEN Respect Awards on October 25 in Los Angeles. •  Out Music: Last month, I shared out singer/songwriter Kyle Motsinger’s groovy anthem for positivity, “Love On Each Other,” and today he drops the equally groovilicious music video. He’s paired his 70s disco beat bop with images of hippie love kids dancing and prancing in the park. Check it out below.

There was a Beverly Hills 90210 reunion in Las Vegas last night as Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty visited Chippendales at the Rio to show their support for fellow 90210er Ian Ziering currently headlining the iconic show.

Ziering — who played Steve Sanders on the Aaron Spelling drama, opposite Garth’s Kelly Taylor and Doherty’s Brenda Walsh — welcomed his former costars backstage, where they staged a mini 90210 reunion. The trio were thrilled to see one another and posed for pictures on the red carpet.

I was lucky to spend the evening with the two gorgeous ladies and I have to report they could not be nicer or more fun. They were bowled over the second they saw Ian and his awesome abs, and laughed and applauded through the 75 minutes of “twisted steel and sex appeal” onstage.

During pre-show conversation Shannen and I talked about her big LGBT fan base and she mentioned how she’s always been aware and appreciative of how loyal the gays have been to her through her career.

The three TV stars also mentioned that yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the “graduation day” episode of Beverly Hills 90210.

Cool that the three could have their own reunion in LV.

p.s. I should mention these three clearly don’t age.  All are just as hot as ever.  I think it has a lot to do with their genes and how great they are as people.
