Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte may have all the moves in the pool, but when it comes to acting in front of a camera – well, let’s just say he can barely keep his head above water.

At The Expendables 2 premiere last night, Lochte opened up about his experience shooting scenes for his upcoming guest spot on the hit CW drama 90210.

It was my first acting gig and I was a little nervous going on set… I kind of messed up my lines the first couple of takes, but after talking with the cast and them helping me out, I started nailing it towards the end and it felt normal…

They knew it was my first time, so they wanted to make it as easy as possible…

According to sources, Lochte will play a resort guest a hotel where Naomi Clark (McCord) and Max Miller (Zuckerman) try to mend their broken relationship.  Although there’s no word yet on whether or not the swimming Adonis will appear shirtless, the show’s star Shenae Grimes says she’d be shocked if viewers didn’t get at least a little peek at those most famous abs in the world!

I don’t think our network would let him go without that… I’m sure there will be some eye candy for the audience.

Lochte will appear on the October 29 episode of 90210 at 8 p.m. EST.

Actor Matt Lanter and his 90210 co-star Jessica Lowndes became the new faces of DoSomething.org and Aeropostale’s 4th Annual “Teens For Jeans” campaign (watch video below).

You can do something and help someone in need. It’s easy. You simply have to donate a pair of gently used jeans at any Aeropostale store and get a 25% discount on your next purchase. As for your old jeans, they will be given to homeless people.

CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute 2010 was broadcast on Thanksgiving night (November 25th) and highlighted some amazing people from around the world. 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord was one of the celebrities on hand for the event (which taped Sunday, November 21st in Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium) to applaud the everyday people whose work and self-sacrifice improve the lives of others.

McCord is a strong supporter of The Blind Project, a non-profit organization who mission is to end human trafficking around the world. The actress must have been particularly gratified to see 2010′s winner Anuradha Koirala of Maiti Nepal. Koriala works to end trafficking, provide rehabilitation to those who have suffered from it and to work with the vicitims to gain legal justice from their abusers.

90210 star AnnaLynne McCord hit the Burlesque premiere in Hollywood at Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Monday evening, November 15th. AnnaLynne was glamorous in her silvery white strapless dress for the red carpet.

Despite the announcement two weeks ago that she had broken up with boyfriend Kellan Lutz, the two were spotted yesterday coming out of a motel in Studio City, California. McCord wore a terrible wig and was immediately noticed (see the photos here.)

Joe Jonas is heading to the CW‘s 90210 to play – Joe Jonas! The singer is putting more effort into his acting career, stepping into roles and adding to his resume. His guest appearance on Hot In Cleveland seems to be the start of more non-Disney work for Jonas.

In the November episode, Joe will go to a magazine party, as the date/escort of Jessica Lowndes‘ Adrianna.

Of course you can see Joe in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and weekly on Disney in Jonas L.A.

Cameos are plentiful in Scream 4 as Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale is added to the expanding cast. Shanae Grimes of 90210, Kristen Bell and Anna Paquin are also popping in to the ultra successful movie franchise created by The Vampire Diaries head writer Kevin Williamson.

Filming has been underway in Michigan with Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, David Arquette and Adam Brody.

So who is going to be killed in the opening scene? Oh, Mr. Williamson – what trick do you have up your sleeve?

So much fun trying to guess but we will have to wait until April 2011 to find out for sure.

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.
