Talk about being out of your element!

Country artist Kellie Pickler is gearing up for her small screen debut (American Idol doesn’t count), guest starring on the October 18th episode of 90210.  According to reports, Pickler will play “Sally”, a country singer, and cousin to Austin (Justin Deely), who comes into town just in time to play her new single “Tough”, during a college talent show/fundraiser.

Man, she’s really gonna have to dig deep for this one.

Kellie joked with fans about preparing for her role via her official website.

Well my zip code growing up was a long way from 90210 so it will definitely be acting… I’m really excited and a little bit nervous about it but will be a fun and unique place to perform “Tough.”

Pickler’s single, “Tough” is currently #30 on the Country Music charts.

Check out a sneak peek at Pickler’s acting debut below!

AnnaLynne McCord strikes a pose for the cover of Prestige magazine’s August 2010 issue. The former model talks about being homeschooled, the virtues of hard work and the ever present stereotype that casting directors still assume:

On being homeschooled: “I studied through 12th grade. You can do that with homeschooling because it’s more flexible. I just blew through the grades and graduated early. I don’t think I missed out on anything by not going to high school. Home schooling is becoming more common in the US. It’s not that unusual in the southern and western states. The day I graduated, I was off to Miami to become a model. My parents, being so conservative, did not like it, of course. But I was always a pretty headstrong daughter and I was financially independent, so nothing was going to stop me. I packed my bags and my uncle drove me to South Beach.”

On surprising casting directors: “I had interesting reactions from casting directors. To them, I suppose, I looked like this blonde bimbo with a New York attitude who should be a model, not an actress. I remember one of them apologised to me when I had finished my audition. He said: ‘Oh my God, you really can act!’”

On working hard: “The truth is that you have to work to be an actor, and I work my a– off. I come from a background where you have to work to succeed in anything.”

The 23 year old was a stand out on Nip/Tuck. She currently plays Naomi on 90210 and is very active in an organization called The Blind Project; a non-profit group that is dedicated to helping women and children who are enslaved in the commercial sex trade of Southeast Asia.

Ashley Tisdale looked fabulous promoting her new TV show Hellcats at the CBS/CW Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Thursday. Hellcats, the competitive cheerleading drama costarring Aly Michalka, will premiere on Wednesday September 8th.

As we told you earlier in the week, Rumer Willis will be guest starring as a lesbian on ’90210′  this fall and now AnnaLynne McCord wants in on the girl-on-girl scenes.

“This is what I foresee,” she said. “Naomi gets drunk, and she gets a little crazy. Liam’s watching. Naomi wants to experiment. And then a little lip-on-lip action with Rumer Willis can’t hurt anybody, right?

“How fabulous would that be,” she continued. “They totally need to make it happen!”

Well, it will certainly grab more headlines. This is great news for the CW network and will help ’90210′ in the ratings this fall.
