Six Degrees of Brad Pitt in Lifetime’s Unauthorized ‘Melrose’ and ‘90210′ Movies
It’s time to play Six Degrees of Unauthorized Movies About Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210. What A-List star has ties to real-life castmembers from 90210 and Melrose, and also makes an appearance (by name, at least) in the Lifetime original movies about said shows? If you guessed Brad Pitt, then… well, you probably already know way too much about these shows and have no need to watch unauthorized films about them. Anyhow, in the exclusive clip above, fake Jason Priestley (Max Lloyd-Jones) witnesses history when his roommate, some guy named Brad Pitt, receives a script for Thelma & Louise.
And speaking of Brad Pitt’s breakout role, it almost went to Melrose Place star Grant Show — but he ended up turning it down to do a Jackie Collins miniseries. That fateful moment is lovingly recreated in our second exclusive clip, this one from The Unauthorized Melrose Place Story — featuring fake Grant Show (Ryan Bruce).

So there is a Brad Pitt crossover in the unauthorized TV movies about 90210 and Melrose, two series that engaged in actual crossover episodes in real life! It’s like the universe is eating itself! Our minds are blown.
Lifetime’s The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story airs Saturday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m.; and The Unauthorized Melrose Place Story airs Saturday, Oct. 10 at 8 p.m.
