Q: Did you know Gabrielle Carteris turned 48 this month? Forty-eight! Barack Obama doesn't turn 48 until August. An original 90210 cast member is older than our president.
-Nora L., Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
SG: Are you trying to get me to kill myself?
I was flabbergasted by this. Not because someone who was on TV 20 years ago is older than the President-elect. But because her character was in High School at the time. Do the math.
If her character was aging in real time, she wouldn't even have been eligable to be President in the most recent election.
