Shannen Doherty Gossip

Look, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Lainey and I have complained, kind of a lot, about the fact that people don’t read. Not you, of course, you’re here reading this and tons of other word-related content but… people. They don’t read.  And obviously they don’t, I dunno, watch any social media or anything else either? Because the outcry about how BH90210, as it’s being styled, disappointed fans by being about Jason, Tori, Jennie, and Ian, as opposed to Brandon, Donna, Kelly, and Steve – it’s kind of baffling to me. Full Story

It’s tonight. Tonight, the show-within-a-show revival of 90210 drops – I had known a few months ago that indeed it would be a birthday present for me, but I forgot that it was happening, so this was a treat.  For other shows, obviously the play might be to release a clip or a viral video or something, but this is 90210, you know the song in your bones, and so do I, and the credits, where it was clearly the actors and not the characters who were interacting, were a special insider treat – so this is exactly what it was supposed to be. Full Story

It's my birthday. Lainey has told you how obnoxious I usually am on my birthday. I force everyone to treat me like Beyoncé all day. I was trying to keep it low key this year but right now I want to establish that today is about celebrating me and no one can get mad at me on my birthday before I admit something. Full Story

So this guy, Joseph Kahn (he directs Taylor Swift videos) goes out of his way to comment on/insert himself into stories but thinks gossip is feminine and thus beneath him? And the transgender joke, very edgy (in 1986).  Full Story

Every day this week I’ve been trying to end on some happy because happiness is so hard to find. Maybe this is just happiness for me and Duana but I have to believe that we’re together on this, with you, in our eternal love for 90210 and, for some of you, Charmed. So there will never be a time when we’re not interested, at least mildly interested, in Shannen Doherty, right? Because Brenda Walsh is one of the greatest characters EVER in the history of television. Full Story

Remember the modified version of the 90210 theme song they would play when the show came back from the commercial break for the last block of an episode? It wasn't exciting like the opening but really slowed down? Sort of sad and yet comforting, to indicate that Brandon or Brenda has learned a lesson the hard way? That's what I hear when I look at these pictures of this week's 90210 reunion. Full Story

Jennie Garth celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday and the launch of her new reality show A Little Bit Country. Shannen Doherty came to support her, as did Ian Ziering who will look like Steve Sanders forever. Shannen now has her own reality show too. I’ve not watched Shannen Says but I did see a clip of her giving the gears to her fiancé about wanting to play football on Sunday when they could be wedding planning. Full Story

Written by Duana A few months ago in this space I wrote about Shannen Doherty. How much I wanted to be her, and, after reading her ‘book’, how I kind of felt like, instead of my big sister, she was now kind of my little one, because she’s sort of stagnated, growth-wise. Full Story

Written by Duana I was a Brenda Walsh fan. I wanted to be her. She was sassy, stand-up-to-parents-y, super hair and didn’t take crap. Plus it wasn’t just Brenda, it was so clearly Shannen Doherty herself. They were one and the same, and the fact that Doherty was intelligent and had graduated from Little House on the Prairie to 90210, much as I hoped metaphorically to do…I had a rock-solid girl crush from the age of 10. Full Story

Look…I get it that dudes get off on images involving suggestive liquids. Like a mudfight. Or a jello bath. Or milk running down the side of a woman’s mouth. Madonna’s Express Yourself video. I get it. What I don’t get is the rationale from the boys at Details for this Shannen Doherty photo shoot. Full Story
