Tori Spelling Says “First Love” Brian Austin Green Is the Last Person Who Broke Her Heart

Tori Spelling Says “First Love” Brian Austin Green Is the Last Person Who Broke Her Heart

The end of a long-term relationship tends to dredge up a lot of feelings about the past, both good and bad. Tori Spelling, who is in the process of divorcing Dean McDermott, her husband of 18 years, reminisced on her podcast Monday about another long-ago love: her Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Brian Austin Green. On an episode of her podcast misSPELLING, titled “Misbehaviors,” Spelling chatted with friend and fellow 90210 alum Shannen Doherty. The longtime pals dug into the archives and talked about Green, whom Spelling still considers a close friend. The two were love interests on the long-running soap and in real life. Spelling said that she cheated on the first man she slept with, whose name was Ryan, with Green. “That was the first guy I was with, and he was great, and to be honest, I cheated on him with Brian,” she said. “We broke up because I fell head over heels in love with Brian Green.” “I always say, Brian with a B was the first love of my life. But …

Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty Had a Falling Out on ‘90210’

Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty Had a Falling Out on ‘90210’

Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty reunited this week to recall a falling out that the two of them had while working on Beverly Hills, 90210 — but neither of them could remember the cause. Doherty hosted Spelling on her Let’s Be Clear podcast, sharing toward the beginning that the two friends were “trying to figure out” what led to friction between them during their time on the hit series. “It’s like one minute, we were friends, and then one minute we weren’t,” said Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on 90210. Spelling, who played Donna Martin (and whose father, Aaron Spelling, produced the show) added that she was often easily swayed. Doherty agreed. “It was very frustrating for me because I always used to tell you like, ‘Yeah, Tor, have an opinion,’” Doherty recalled. “Like, you’re smart, you’re funny, you’re talented. I loved you and I respected you and I wanted you to believe in yourself as much as I believed in you.” Eventually, both women said that part of their tension came from Spelling’s then-boyfriend, …

Shannen Doherty Talks ‘Learning Moment For Us All’ Amid Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis

Shannen Doherty Talks ‘Learning Moment For Us All’ Amid Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis

Shannen Doherty shared a message of support for Kate Middleton amid her bout with cancer, and she also had a message to the rest of the world conjuring up conspiracies with regard to her whereabouts — please leave her alone now. The 52-year-old actress on Friday reacted to the devastating news that the Princess of Wales has been diagnosed with cancer by expressing repulsion over how the public had been treating Kate prior to her sharing her latest health update. “Being a public figure does not mean the public owns that person. We ALL have the right to go thru illness or life privately,” Doherty wrote on Instagram. “The onslaught of conspiracy theories, ownership and plain morbid curiosity forced this person to explain herself before she had come to terms with it and explained to her children.” Kate, 42, said the news of the cancer diagnosis came as a “huge shock” to the royal family. She explained that she and Prince William endeavored to manage the situation privately for the sake of their young children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, …

Shannen Doherty Recounts On-Set Fight With ‘90210’ Co-Star Jennie Garth

Shannen Doherty rehashed more co-star drama this week, this time stemming from the set of Beverly Hills, 90210. The actress recounted a prank gone wrong between herself and co-star Jennie Garth during a conversation on her Let’s Be Clear podcast with fellow 90210 star Brian Austin Green. “[Jennie] was doing, she was calling it ‘Pants-Down Day,’ where she would pull the pants on some of the crewmembers in a funny way,” Doherty recalled of her time on the 90210 set. “But some of them were getting pretty annoyed with it.” In response, Doherty said, “I reversed it and I said, ‘Skirt-Up Day.’ And she always wore the men’s Calvin Klein boxer shorts under her clothes, so I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. And so I did ‘Skirt-Up Day’ and oh my God, she lost it on me, and I was just not in the mood to back down.” Green also remembered the fight between the two women, calling it a “huge moment for everyone” and saying he and actor Ian Ziering …

Shannen Doherty Stands By Charmed Firing Claim

Shannen Doherty Stands By Charmed Firing Claim

Shannen Doherty is standing by her claim that Alyssa Milano got her fired. In December, Shannen and her Charmed co-star Holly Marie Combs alleged that Alyssa orchestrated Shanne’s exit from their hit WB series in 2001. Alyssa pushed back on the allegation during a Who’s the Boss? panel discussion on Friday at MegaCon Orlando, by saying it’s “sad that people can’t move past it”. Alyssa Milano at MegaCon last week Gerardo Mora via Getty Images “This was so long ago that any retelling of these stories from anyone is just revisionist history,” Alyssa added in an Instagram post over the weekend. In the same post, Alyssa alleged that Shannen was fired after a professional mediator investigated accusations made against her on set and then pinned her exit on producers and the studio. “I did not have the power to get anyone fired,” Alyssa wrote. “Once Shannen left we had five more successful seasons and I am forever grateful.” Shannen responded to Alyssa’s denial of any wrongdoing during a Charmed panel on Sunday on the last …

Alyssa Milano Denies She Got Shannen Doherty Fired From ‘Charmed’

Alyssa Milano has denied she got Shannen Doherty fired from the hit WB series, Charmed. The 51-year-old actress made the declaration Saturday in a lengthy caption to a post highlighting remarks she made the day prior while at MegaCon in Orlando, where the subject was broached in front of diehard fans of the series. First, some backstory — fans will recall that it was Holly Marie Combs who on Doherty’s podcast, Let’s Be Clear, alleged Milano played a pivotal role in Doherty’s firing from the hit series in the early 2000s. That was in December. Fast forward to Friday, when Milano said she anticipated the question was coming and she wanted to be careful about how to address it. “I knew this was going to come up in one way or another, and I want to be very thoughtful in how I respond to any of this.” Milano then added, “And I will just say I’m sad.” While Milano never denied the claim at MegaCon, she added she’s “most sad for the fans” because she knows the show “has meant so …

Alyssa Milano Denies Getting Shannen Doherty Fired From ‘Charmed’

Alyssa Milano Denies Getting Shannen Doherty Fired From ‘Charmed’

Alyssa Milano is speaking out against claims that she got Shannen Doherty fired from Charmed. The actress took to social media on Saturday to share her thoughts about Doherty and Holly Marie Combs saying Milano got the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum let go from the USA series in 2001. Her statement comes a month after Doherty stated on her podcast, Let’s Be Clear, that Milano got her fired from the show. Combs supported these claims by detailing a conversation she had at the time with Charmed producer Jonathan Levin, who told her that Milano gave the studio an ultimatum of her or Doherty, and they allegedly chose her. Milano attended MegaCon in Orlando on Feb. 2, where she was asked about her co-stars saying that she was responsible for (spoiler alert!) Doherty’s character being killed off in the show’s season three finale. “I don’t know one other show that has had the success that Charmed had where the cast still speaks ill of the experience a quarter of a century later,” she captioned an Instagram …
