New 90210's Got MILF

Christina Moore has been cast in a recurring role on CW's 90210 reboot. Moore will play Tracy Bennett, the sexy mama of sexy daughter Naomi Bennett (Nip/Tuck's AnnaLynne McCord). The CW is describing her as a "Beverly Hills MILF," which I'm sure brings her former acting coaches all kinds of warm, fuzzy feelings.

You remember Moore from such popular television programs as Hot Properties and That '70s Show (she played the second Laurie Forman). She also has appeared in such major motion pictures as Delta Farce and Without a Paddle. Oddly, she kind of reminds me of a younger version of Ann Gillespie, who played Kelly Taylor's blowsy ma Jackie in the original series, so there is a certain logic to this casting. (Gillespie has also signed on to reprise her role in the new series.)

Fun fact! She actually appeared on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 back in the day doing fine, fine work as "Sexy Anchor." — Mickey O'Connor

Isn't "Naomi Bennett" the name of Audra MacDonald's character on Private Practice?

Why, yes it is! That's a little odd. I'll check in on that. -- Mickey

The TV Guide web site's "credits" list doesn't mention her appearance on Two and a Half Men this past season as the ex-wife in the couple who were Alan and Judith's best friends and with whom he had a steamy get together that was ruined by his imagining that Judith was watching over his shoulder the whole time because "girls talk" as Charlie put it.

She sucked as Laurie - I missed the first actress after she left. She just played the b**ch so good.

If the info on imdb is accurate she just turned 35 in april. I guess that would probably mean her character was pregnant before 20, possibly before 18, unless she agreed to play a character older then she is in real life. You'd think they could find someone closer to 40 to make it more plausible.

They changed the character's last name from "Bennet" to "Clark".

Awesome - the two actually look a lot alike. I wonder how she'll get along with Lori Loughlin's character - my guess is, not well at all! I seriously can't wait for this show!!! And to see the veterans return too!
