CW renews 'Vampire Diaries,' 'Gossip,' '90210,' more

The CW has issued early series renewals to five shows -- freshman breakout hit "The Vampire Diaries," Josh Schwartz's "Gossip Girl," sophomore soap "90210," veteran drama "Supernatural" and the network's flagship reality staple "America's Next Top Model."

All will return next fall.

"Vampire Diaries" quickly became The CW's most-watched show, averaging 4.6 million viewers. On Thursdays, "Diaries" has aided "Supernatural," which has improved over last season among the network's target demo of women 18-34.

Absent from the list: "Melrose Place," which is considered unlikely to return; "Smallville," which is very likely to get a 10th season; and bubble shows "One Tree Hill" and "Life Unexpected."
