According to E! Online's Tierney Bricker, Robin Givens will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of 90210. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Givens' role:
Givens is set to take on the role of Cheryl, Elizabeth (Keke Palmer) and Jordan's (Robbie Jones) sophisticated East Coast mother who is on the fast-track to political greatness. Cheryl is willing to go to great lengths to protect and preserve her pristine family image.
Jones is set to make his debut on the CW soap as Jordan, an intelligent publisher who may be a potential new love interest for Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) in the second half of the season, so we're thinking Naomi and Crystal are definitely going to butt heads. We. Can't. Wait. Tru Jackson, VP's Palmer will take on the role of Jordan's sis Elizabeth and both siblings are currently recurring roles, while Givens is only slated to appear in one episode.

My thoughts: I'm honestly not all that happy about this news. It kind of bothers me that they are bringing in more guest-stars to prop up characters that are only recurring guest-stars on 90210, especially when they are doing this with characters that haven't even been introduced yet. If they had already introduced Keke Palmer and Robbie Jones' characters at this point, I might feel differently. While I did like Robbie Jones on One Tree Hill, I'm not liking that the introduction of his character seems to be signaling a Naomi and Max breakup.
While I'm on the subject of Naomi, I've had very mixed feelings about Naomi's storylines for the past two seasons. A lot of times I feel like the writers have turned Naomi into a second rate Blair Waldorf, only she's thankfully not in an abusive relationship like Blair was with Chuck. I'm going to try and keep an open mind about the introduction of these new characters, but I'm honestly not really looking forward to this storyline. If the writers insist on bringing in guest-stars, I wish they would do it mainly for the other characters' storylines to help further expand them, because pretty much all of the other characters' storylines with the exception of Adrianna and Dixon's storylines at times have been much more interesting this season.
