1990s culture continues to make a comeback. The bestselling The Baby-Sitters Club series is set for a rerelease on ebook readers, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Scholastic will rerelease the first 20 books of Ann M. Martin’s original series on Dec. 1. Fans can also download the series’ new Facebook App and relive their memories with memorabilia, book previews and quizzes.

As if you could forget, the novels feature a group of tweenage girl friends who had the great idea to set up a babysitting club. The series ultimately contained 217 novels — 131 regular editions and 15 Super Specials. The Baby-Sitters Club feature film hit theaters in 1995.

Martin’s series is not the only piece of ‘90s history to find its way into today’s culture. Boy Meets World is set to produce a spinoff called “Girl Meets World” focusing on the life of Cory and Topanga’s pre-teen daughter.

If I don’t acknowledge the break-up that means it never happened…right?

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez reportedly ended their relationship on November 9 after dating for two years. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly that their crazy schedules and trust issues are to blame for the split.

Then again, if Justin is checking out other ladies, maybe Selena should listen to her BFF Taylor Swift and tell him “we are never, ever, ever getting back together.”

This is like the Justin Timberlake/Britney Spears split all over again. Do teen pop star romances ever last?

OMG ALERT: A BOY MEETS WORLD SEQUEL IS IN THE WORKS!

The Disney Channel is in early stages of producing a sequel to “Boy Meets World.” Is this not the best news ever? I found this out on Saturday but with limited internet access over the weekend (thanks Sandy!) I could not freak out about it until today.

Every life lesson I learned in the 90s came from Mr. Feeny. I own all seven season of the show on DVD. I am known to quote Cory and the gang way too often. Yes, I cannot wait until “Girl Meets World,” the story of Cory and Topanga’s daughter, airs.

I did my share of internet stalking to make sure the news is true. Will Shawn and Eric be part of the show? Who will play their daughter? Will her name really be Chewbacca or Plankton?! What I found is that Danielle Fishel enjoys messing with her twitter followers.

How excited are you for a “Boy Meets World” Sequel?

Where are Women in Pop Culture?

There has not been a female winner of “American Idol” for five seasons. It also came as no shock that this season’s winner of “The Voice” was also male. Actually, there has yet to be a female winner on “The Voice.” Do Americans only idolize men?

I always wonder what influence the industry has on who wins, and how much is really America’s vote. Males already make more money in entertainment then women do. I think it’s about time women get the recognition they deserve. “American Idol” 2013, maybe?

Britney Spears is officially a judge on “The X Factor.”

Another former pop sensation and Mickey Mouse Club member makes her way onto a television music contest. Christina Aguilera and Tony Lucca weren’t enough for prime-time. (Even with all their drama on “The Voice.”) Will Justin Timberlake be next?

But seriously, it was announced that Spears was offered $15 million to judge one season of the show. A source close to Spears told E! that the contract was signed.

“There’s been a lot of back and forth over the past few weeks as they negotiated the small details, but she’s on,” the source said. “It’s all completed and Britney is beyond excited…She’s ready for this.”

“The X Factor” returns to Fox for its second season in September.

This Is 40

The trailer was released for Judd Apatow’s “This Is 40.” The movie is described as a sort-of-sequel to “Knocked Up.”

What do you think of the trailer? Is it too serious? Will you go to see it?
