AnnaLynne McCord not her TV persona, she swears!

90210's AnnaLynne McCord is superglam, sweet, funny—we hate her.

OK, we kid, we're just a wee bit envious of how likable this gorgeous gal is. We hung out with the blond babe and L.A. Direct Mag cover girl at Hell-Ay's Fashion Week kickoff party at the Kress.

Is she anything like her über-spoiled character, Naomi? We totally wanted Anna-hon to say yes with a sneer, but she claimed she could not be further from the Bev Hills babe...

"I was not rich growing up. I didn't go to high school—I was homeschooled," A.M. told us. "I was the dork, the math nerd, the odd man out. I wasn't a Chanel girl, I was, like, Goodwill. Hand-me-downs from big sis. I think when I got a new piece of clothing it was from Walmart when I was 14."

We get it, you aren't a stuck-up snob. We don't buy your "odd man out" comment, tho, especially when you refuted those anorexia rumors surrounding you and your cast by admitting, "I'm one of those lucky people who are naturally skinny and can eat whatever they want." We go back to our original statement: We hate you.

So why should we be watching 90210 instead of The Hills and Gossip Girl? Aren't they all just the same damn show with different pretty, bitchy girls?

AnnaL assured us there's a difference between the TV teen hits. "[People] tell us, 'That's too risqué,' and we're like, 'Do you know what goes on the night before us on Gossip Girl?' [Our producers have] made a point to take it in a route that it's not just the sex, sex, sex, sex! They take the skin out and made it a little more family oriented."

Which is why your series premiere began with a blow job, right?
