Shannen Doherty Hangs up on Newsweek (Wizbang Pop!)

Shannon Promotes her new show the only way she knows how. Like a brat.

The star of "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Charmed" is back with a new show on Oxygen called "Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty." She spoke with NEWSWEEK's Nicki Gostin. Very briefly. We stand by our reporter. But it would be only fair to say that other celebrities, Jerry Lewis among them, have seriously considered doing what Doherty does here.

Hi, Shannen, how are you?
I'm good, thank you. I'm unpacking from New York. I can't stand unpacking.

Can't you get your maid to do it?
No! I'm a normal person. My housekeeper has better things to do.

Tell me about your new show.
I help relationships come to an end or sometimes help them go to the next level. It can be a boyfriend or girlfriend, or if you want to quit your job.

Haven't you had some bad breakups? You tried to run over a boyfriend a long time ago, right?
No, and if that's the way you're going with this then I'd rather not even do the interview.

I just think it's funny.
I am not going to have things rehashed from 15 years ago. I'm not going to combat lies. I can already tell what's going to be in you article.

But—Let me hang up and call my publicist and then we'll reconvene, because I'm not going down this path.

*Click. Doherty did not call back. NEWSWEEK's questions about being a Republican in Hollywood, horseback riding, and, of cousre, "90210" will have to keep.

i wish people would leave shannen alone, what happened in the past is in the past and does not need to be dragged up by the media just to get a story, try concentrating on her acheivements as an actress and that does not mean bad mouthing her about her shows. she is an accomplished actress of 25 years and has a massive fan base especially in england
