The weaves come off when things get crazy in the high school cafeteria at Gender Bender day (no, seriously, we're not making that up).

When turned upside-down, this year's yearbook for the graduating class of Shaker Heights High reveals a cryptic message inserted by the artist, reading “F ALL Y'ALL.” The school is now reissuing “cosmetically altered” versions of the yearbook with the angsty sendoff removed. (Also, remember Columbine? We like this a lot more.)

MUSIC BUZZ: Twee but charming alert: Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) helped her high school write and perform a musical inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel's “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.” Theater kids are cool these days! I love 2009.

6. From an audience member: “I’ve got to say, watching it, it was hard to believe it was high-school theater. I didn’t do drama in high school, but if I’d had a teacher this ballsy, I woulda joined in a second!”

This parody trailer for the new 90210 perfectly describes what the revitalized series is going to entail. The 2 hour long premiere of 90210 aired last night on the CW. It’s stockpiled with drama and conniving brats, but the problem is that it’s the same old high school stock characters as usual.

Nothing is more painful than enduring a real life high school musical, and now there are awards to prove it! If the real Tonys handed out trophies for “Most Awkward Kiss” and “Best Performance In A Pre-Show Prayer Circle,” there is a small chance we would forgive them for this .

TV BUZZ: The NBC TV show was never a ratings hit, but is the third most TIVO’d show on television. Because of the strike, seven of the 22 episodes NBC ordered for season two weren’t made, and fans are left wondering if they will ever see the light of day. We were slow to catch on to Friday Night Lights because we assumed it was just a long, drawn-out series version of Varsity Blues or something. But after watching a couple of episodes, we were hooked on this high school drama. And the Explosions in the Sky soundtrack is pretty awesome.
