Aaron Spelling - the famed creator of highly-sexed shows like Melrose Place - has made it perfectly clear that he's simply mortified at the sexual explicitness of new teen flicks on their way to the box office soon. "I think they're going too far," said Spelling in an article in Newsweek, which examines the sexual content of several upcoming R-rated teen movies, including Cruel Intentions starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Go with Scott Wolf. However, Spelling, who believes the movies are irresponsible, could well be in for some stick for his comments, considering his massive Beverly Hills 90210 production plays heavily on nothing but sexually-active, beautiful, wedged-up teenagers and their problematic births into a Beverly Hills society. But says Spelling, "I abhor some of these teenage movies. If they're going to have sexual affairs, I like to see condoms. We do it on TV. I think they should do it." Not taking such outbursts lightly, Cruel Intentions star Reese Witherspoon hit back at Spelling and his fatherly views, saying the movie, which is due out March 5, reflects teen life. "The great thing about this movie is that it blows the lid off any stereotype of kids' being gentle and demure. Kids are horrible to each other" said Witherspoon, no doubt ruffling a few feathers in the Spelling camp by adding, "It is a very sexual climate in high school. This movie shows parents that this is where your kids are at."
