Jason Priestley recently said that he doubts he would be back on the new “90210″ show as Brandon Walsh and he’s kept his promise. Jason will be part of “90210″ but not as Brandon. He’s agreed to direct the show’s 18th episode, so he’ll be behind the camera the entire time.

Jason Priestley has agreed to do an episode of The CW’s 90210 later this season, but you won’t see him — he’ll be behind the camera, working as a director. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Priestley will helm this season’s 18th episode, which is slated to air this spring.

Come on now! Under that Grizzly Jack facade are a pair of sideburns just dying to come out. I just know it. This is a bigger missed opportunity than taking Paris Hilton on a hunting trip and shooting a deer.

New dad Jason Priestley is delighted to be a new father. He chatted with Conan O’Brien about his newborn daughter, and her nickname (he didn’t reveal his daughter’s name).

Kid Pity,’ I call her. She’s one week old today. It’s very exciting. The first week was unbelievable. It has been really nice actually. Our daughter’s beautiful and she’s been really good. I’m going home tonight because I can’t wait to get back to her.

I’m sure between promotional appearances for his new show on Lifetime, “Side Order of Life” he’ll be spending as much time with her as he can.
