I just love saying Joe E. Tata's name. Say it with me: "Joe E. Tata." The Tata man was at the CW's portion of the TV Critics Association press tour on Saturday to help serve breakfast (at a faux "Peach Pit") and to confirm that yes, indeed, Joe E. "Nat" Tata would be back slinging hash and advice as a recurring player on the new "90210."
Meanwhile, the L.A. Times has put together this interactive map of new (and old) "90210" shooting spots. How do the tanned "90210"ers live? Check out these sites. A sampling:
Peach Pit (played by Kokomo Cafe: 6333 W. 3rd St.): "The favorite hangout in Beverly Hills for its cool hipster residents, but now it's more of a trendy cafe that Nat, played by the returning Joe E. Tata, still owns."
West Beverly Hills High (played Torrance High School: 2200 W Carson St): "In keeping with the original, all exterior shots of West Beverly High are done here."
West Beverly High parking lot and Lacrosse fields (played by El Segundo High School: 640 Main St.): "The scenes in the high school parking lot and lacrosse fields are filmed here."
Boulevard3 (played by Boulevard3: 6523 W. Sunset Blvd.): "The famed nightclub plays itself and is used for a climactic birthday party scene."
Peach Pit After Dark (played by Spider Club: 1737 Vine St.): "This is the Pit, the reincarnation of Peach Pit After Dark."
There was a gasp in the room during the "90210" press conference when one of the show's new stars admitted that she was 1 when the original "Beverly Hills 90210" launched. Yes, it was nearly 20 years ago.
