The fabulousness that is Juliette Lewis stops by Newbury Comics Headquarters (above) to continue promotion for her upcoming new album, Terra Incognita―her first record without longtime band, The Licks.

The 36-year-old actress/musician talks about her new solo CD, what we can expect from the hotly-anticipated set, the inspiration behind the album's title track and artwork, her upcoming movie projects―which includes Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It!, working with Omar Rodríguez López (of Mars Volta), and cultivating her live shows and building an audience. Ms. Lewis also gives the true or false to a rumor: does she have a poster of her mugshot (taken back when she was 16) in her bedroom????

Although we haven't completely warmed up to the new 90210―yet, one thing we have done is fall head over heels for the show's main focus last season: Jessica Lowndes (aka Adrianna Duncan). Not only is she heartbreakingly beautiful and unbelievably adorable, Lowndes can also act.

Watch (below) Hollywood Treatment's Ali Daher sit down with the 20-year-old Beverly Hills cutie, where she talks about 90210's upcoming sophomore season, what we can expect from Adrianna this year, new characters, fame, moving to Hollywood, paparazzi, and where she would like to be in ten years.

“My character is now 1950s pin-up style,” Lowndes says on Adrianna's slight transformation. “They have really changed a lot of the look of the show. We got a new show runner; all new hair and make-up, new fashion. It's really an entirely different show for the better.”

Jess also sheds light on her musical aspirations. The green-eyed brunette tells Daher that she recorded a demo CD for fun four years ago and took it to her Myspace page; with CBS later purchasing one of the tracks for their hit show Moonlight. Lowndes' song “Fly Away” was also featured on an episode of 90210. When asked if we can expect an album anytime soon, Jessica says while a record this year is unlikely, she will continue to record and hopes to incorporate her music in with the show.



90210, also starring Jessica Stroup, AnnaLynne McCord, Tristan Wilds and Shenae Grimes, dives into its second season on Tuesday, September 8 at 8 p.m. on the CW.
