Watch 90210 Or Shannen Doherty's Doggies Will Die

thumbnail icon: Watch 90210 Or Shannen Doherty's Doggies Will Die

Perusing the mainstream media coverage of the 90210 spinoff this weekend, I couldn't help but notice that Shannen Doherty has figured out talking points for her interviews about the new show. When asked why she's coming back, she claims it's all for her doggies:

In Entertainment Weekly:

Why would I play Brenda Walsh again? There was an ''I Hate Brenda'' newsletter. Why would I possibly get myself back into that?... At some point it hit me that this is what the fans wanted. They put a roof over my head. They allow me to eat and to feed my dogs. The only reason I survive is because of them. If there's one way to possibly say thank you, it is to go back and play a character that you never even liked yourself.

In The New York Times:

I know that my fans are the reason why I have a career. They help me support myself and the roof over my head, and they allow dog food to go into my dog bowls so my doggies can eat.

Wow, that is sad. Whoever did that "I Hate Brenda" newsletter should start it back up with a Send Brenda Dog Food campaign. Actually, where is the I Hate Brenda Newsletter (2008)? We have the internet now. Somebody start that up.

Why is it that actors (and athletes) always say they're taking a job because they need to feed their families/pets/selves? I mean, where the hell are these people shopping that requires thousands of dollars per week? Maybe what they need instead is a visit from a personal financial planner or budget counselor. Y'know, someone to say: "No, Shannen, you paid too much. A bag of Science Diet does not cost 6 grand. Please stop buying your pet food from coke dealers."

I guess I should have bought more copies of the genre-crossing I Hate Brenda compilation CD. Maybe I could have saved her. Maybe in a desperate ratings grab, the ghost of the Oklahoma (accidental) Suicide Kid will haunt the halls of Beverly Hills High.

why are you people hating? who cares why she went back to her old zip code? what difference does it make if she feeds her dogs science diet or the neighborhood cat? she's an actress, she can do what she darn well pleases. At least she's honest in what she is saying. She's not flashing her stuff getting out of a friend's car, she's not getting into brawls at the local bar, and most importantly she's not shaving her hair off and acting all crazy. Shannen is an actress, and Brenda is a fictional character. There's no point to having a "Brenda Newsletter", unless those who come up with one really reveal something scary about themselves...no life whatsoever.

Jennie Garth and tori are so jealous on Shannen so they have to kick her of the show so they would have 15 min. of fame.How pathetic.
