New 90210 starlet Shenae Grimes is not the prima donna she's been made out to be in some recent tabloid reports.

So says Jessica Lowndes, who plays troublesome Adrianna.

"It's ridiculous," Lowndes (above, right) said at last night's Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party about the Grimes (above, left) gossip. "None of it's true. We're all like a little family. There's no drama, and everyone's trying to create drama."

The drama that Lowndes doesn't mind is the kind that's onscreen.

"Oh my God! It gets worse," Lowndes said of her character. "The drugs just get harder and harder. And starting this Tuesday, my character starts her downfall. It's pretty crazy. It's pretty shocking. I definitely think people are going to be shocked."

Wonder if they'll be as shocked as they were when, during the series' premiere episode, Dustin Milligan's character gets orally serviced by a gal who is not his girlfriend.

Actually, Adam Gregory, who plays Ty Collins, says there's going to be a lot more where that came from.

"It gets pretty out of control, but I can't say too much," Gregory said. "But I will say that it's provocative, and that's the way we wanna keep it."
