NEW YORK (AP) - The CW network is announcing early pickups of five of its series for next fall, including an all-star version of "America's Next Top Model" and the network's hit drama, "The Vampire Diaries."

The network said late Tuesday that "Gossip Girl," "90210," and "Supernatural" also will be returning for another season.

In the first of two editions set to air next season, "America's Next Top Model" will bring back models from the show's past competitions for a rematch.
