  • Shannen Doherty Talks Breast Cancer Struggle With Dr. Oz

    Shannen Doherty, star of the original 90210, talked with Dr. Mehmet Oz earlier this week about what she has endured since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2015. Dr. Oz reiterated her struggles during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, adding that Shannen Doherty is now trying to decide whether she should undergo a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.

    “Shannen is juggling those two decisions–neither one is perfect but both are acceptable, as long as the cancer comes out,” Dr. Oz said. “The part of Shannen’s story that’s most stunning to me is that she’s had that cancer in her breast for over a year and hasn’t had it taken out yet – [the] cancer’s still in there.”

    “She has decided to have the breast cancer to removed surgically, and that is a big decision for a woman… It was really up to Shannen to decide she was ready to go through an operation she feared would be disfiguring,” he added. “Shannen was very transparent about what’s going on in her breast–she has cancer on one side, it’s a big tumor–it has spread to the lymph nodes on that side, but we don’t have any evidence that it’s gone any further than that.”

    Dr. Oz expects Shannen Doherty will make a full recovery.

    “Thankfully, if we aggressively can treat it, we can save Shannen’s life, and her doctors are superb and they’re all over that decision,” he said.

    On The Dr. Oz Show Thursday, Shannen Doherty said of her difficult decision, “Ultimately, they’re just breasts, right? I mean, I love them, they’re mine, they’re beautiful, but in the grand scheme of things, I would rather be alive, and I would rather grow old with my husband.”

    Dr. Oz has fears that Doherty waited too long after discovering the lump before seeking medical treatment. He understands why she did, however.

    “She had to come to grips with the fear–sometimes that fear has paralyzed her over the past year,” he said. “That’s why a bright woman has sat with a cancer in her breast for that long. We run from the things we fear–I think she’s embracing it now.”

    It will be interesting to learn whether Shannen Doherty opts to have a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. Hopefully the 90210 alum makes a full and speedy recovery regardless of her choice,

  • Shannen Doherty Graces Red Carpet After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Shannen Doherty looked radiant on the red carpet of LA’s Baby2Baby gala despite the problems she is currently facing.

    “At the @baby2baby gala. Such a wonderful evening with inspiring women like @kerrywashington who gave one of the most inspiring speeches and the gorgeous, funny @jessicaalba,” Doherty captioned her Instagram photo. “Check out #baby2baby an organization that helps supply necessities for children coming from low income or no income families.”

    Doherty, who is best known for her roles in hit ‘90s TV series such as Charmed and Beverly Hills 90210, kept her style chic and classic with her black floor-length Vera Wang dress and silver jewelry as accessories. She styled her long, jet black hair in loose waves. This marks her first appearance since she revealed that she was battling breast cancer last month.

    Shannen Doherty Played Prue In ’90s Drama Charmed

    In her August interview with People, the actress admitted she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer but said she remains positive about her life. She opened up about her disease after she learned her former management firm, Tanner Mainstain, failed to pay her medical insurance on time. Her camp says that by the time Shannen Doherty was able to re-enroll with her provider and received medical attention, they found “invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node.”

    According to the lawsuit she filed, she could have undergone gentler treatment if the cancer had been detected earlier, and mastectomy and chemotherapy would not have been the only options left to treat her disease.

    “In November 2013, SAG sent the premium invoice to Tanner Maintain for Plaintiff’s medical insurance coverage for the year 2014,” the suit stated. “However, Defendants ignore it, failed to pay it (without informing Plaintiff) and then promptly terminated their relationship with [Doherty] effective February 7, 2014.”

    Kurt Iswarienko, Shannen Doherty’s husband is also filing charges against the management firm for mismanagement of their assets.

    Shannen Doherty Makes First Public Appearance Since Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Shannen Doherty made her first public appearance this weekend since announcing her breast cancer diagnosis this past summer.

    It was in August that Shannen Doherty revealed she was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. She filed a lawsuit against her former business manager, stating the firm “failed to procure insurance premiums through the Screen Actors Guild in a timely manner, leading to her untreated diagnosis.”

    “In November 2013, SAG sent the premium invoice to Tanner Maintain for Plaintiff’s medical insurance coverage for the year 2014,” the suit read. “However, Defendants ignore it, failed to pay it (without informing Plaintiff) and then promptly terminated their relationship with [Doherty] effective February 7, 2014.”

    Despite her breast cancer diagnosis, Shannen Doherty looked lovely at the Baby2Baby gala this past weekend. Fans were no doubt thrilled to see her out and about in L.A.

  • Shannen Doherty Hits Gala, Looks Great Following Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Shannen Doherty stepped out and looked great at the Baby2Baby Gala in Culver City, California this weekend.

    It’s the first time she’s hit a red carpet since announcing her breast cancer diagnosis in August.

    “Such a wonderful evening with inspiring women like @kerrywashington who gave one of the most inspiring speeches and the gorgeous, funny @jessicaalba check out #baby2baby an organization that helps supply necessities for children coming from low income or no income families. Thank you @aliparkerkay for inviting me and letting me be a part of your table filled with such great women. @annemkortright … Love you. And thanks #verawang for making such a comfortable yet stylish dress! Thanks to the amazing @debwakninstylist for years of friendship and her expertise,” she wrote on Instagram.

    Doherty revealed her cancer diagnosis when she sued her former management company in August. According to the lawsuit, her out-of-date health care coverage led to a late diagnosis, and a “a likely mastectomy and chemotherapy treatment potentially could have been avoided,” says ET.

    The lawsuit claims that “in Nov. 2013, SAG sent the premium invoice to management firm Tanner Mainstain for Plaintiff’s medical insurance coverage for the year 2014. However, Defendants ignored it, failed to pay it (without informing Plaintiff) and then promptly terminated their relationship with [Doherty] effective Feb. 7, 2014.”

    Doherty has spent time promoting breast cancer awareness via social media since her diagnosis.

  • Jason Priestly Upset by Tori Spelling Divulging Sex Secrets

    Jason Priestly, best known for his role on Beverly Hills, 90210, isn’t happy with Tori Spelling’s recent claims that the two had sex.

    Of course, he isn’t denying it took place, either.

    It was during the Lifetime show, Tori Spelling: Celebrity Lie Detector on Saturday that the former True Tori star admitted to having sex with one of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 cast mates.

    “Half my friends don’t even know this,” she said, dishing about having sex with Jason Priestly.

    “It was a summer fling, it was off set, It was our version of, like, a summer romance, the 90210 version and that was it,” she said. “You know, we stayed great friends for the rest of the run, and beyond that, but yeah, we had that one summer fling.”

    Jason Priestly was asked about whether or not Tori Spelling’s statement was true.

    “I’m not getting into this… It’s nobody’s business… Either way..,” he replied.

    Jason Priestly isn’t the only person a bit peeved with Tori Spelling right now. Beverly Hills, 90210 cast mate Shannen Doherty is none too happy either. Tori Spelling dished about Shannen Doherty’s fist fight with Jennie Garth, as well as the actress’s diva-like behavior. She also talked about how the cast worked together to get Doherty fired.

    It’s quite understandable that Jason Priestly and Shannen Doherty are upset with Tori Spelling right now. Some sleeping dogs should be left to lie, but Tori Spelling woke the up instead.

    How do you think you would feel if you were Jason Priestly or Shannen Doherty?

  • Shannen Doherty’s Bad Behavior Gets Televised In Lifetime’s ‘Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210’

    For the Beverly Hills, 90210’s 25th anniversary, Lifetime aired The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210, a film about what went on behind the scenes of the show, played by a younger set of actors and actresses.

    And a lot was revealed about Shannen Doherty, who was the reputed bad girl of the show. According to the film, Doherty displayed a lot of bad behavior that her co-stars had difficulty dealing with. Doherty often got herself into fights, some with her co-stars and some with other people. She has been arrested and was always late for filming. At first, Tori Spelling defended her tardiness because she was her friend, but Doherty made her biggest mistake when she dared to threaten Spelling. Doherty allegedly warned Spelling to “watch her back” after arriving late on set again. After that incident, Doherty was never seen again in the series. Also, Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth were shown having a fight in a carpark because of a red dress they both wanted to wear. In the next scene, Doherty was arrested for picking a fight in the club.

    The police officer even said to her, “Do I know who you are? Yes. You are a big pain in the ass. Everybody thinks that.”

    Ian Ziering also tried to talk some sense into her, “You’re like a shark, you’re like a tornado – you’re like a mixture between a shark and a tornado.”

    At the end of the scene, Doherty crashes Ziering’s sports car and Ziering predicts the creation of Sharknado the movie.

    While Shannen Doherty is known for her antagonistic personality, all that aggression cannot seem to subdue her present condition.

    Doherty recently revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and might undergo chemotherapy and mastectomy.

    Unfortunately, she was let go by her management firm Tanner Mainstain. The firm was allegedly responsible for her medical expenses but failed to pay them, and did not inform the ‘90210’ star.

    Doherty has filed a suit against Tanner Mainstain, claiming that her cancer could have been prevented if the firm had just done its job for her.

  • Shannen Doherty Breast Cancer Could Have Been Stopped If All Americans Had Insurance?

    Shannen Doherty Breast Cancer Could Have Been Stopped If All Americans Had Insurance?

    Shannen Doherty has come out to the public about having breast cancer. It’s not clear whether she would have done so of her own volition, but rather was “outed” when court documents made public by TMZ revealed that Doherty had breast cancer.

    “Yes, I have breast cancer, and I am currently undergoing treatment,” Doherty said.

    “I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life,” Doherty continued. “I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support and, of course, my fans who have stood by me.”

    So how did Shannen Doherty’s breast cancer end up in court documents? Apparently Doherty is suing her former business manager in a case that directly relates to her cancer.

    Court documents indicate that Doherty is accusing her former business manager of failing to pay her insurance premiums, which caused Doherty’s health insurance to lapse. While her insurance was lapsed, Doherty could not receive medical care since the United States does not have Universal Health Care Coverage like every other First World country on the planet.

    Once Doherty got her for-profit health insurance back, she had an exam where she “discovered that she had invasive breast cancer metastatic to at least one lymph node,” the lawsuit shows, and “was informed that her cancer had spread during 2014 (when she was uninsured).”

    Shannen Doherty “was also informed that, had she been insured and able to visit her doctor, the cancer could potentially have been stopped, thus obviating the need for future treatment (including mastectomy and chemotherapy) that [Doherty] will likely have to suffer through now.”

    The moral of the story: If you don’t pay your for-profit insurance premiums in the United States, even if you are a rich celebrity, and even if you hired someone to take care of just such a thing, you can get life-threatening cancer and have to endure all manner of ills that the poorest persons in Cuba do not have to worry about.

  • Tori Spelling Bashed by Former ‘Beverly Hills 9021’ Co-Star Shannen Doherty

    Tori Spelling was slammed by her former Beverly Hill 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty in a recent interview.

    It’s no secret that Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling don’t exactly have the best relationship. In an interview on the Sirius XM’s Just Jenny show, Shannen Doherty said that she would never dream of following in Tori Spelling’s footsteps on a reality show.

    “I would never in a million years choose that for myself,” said Shannen Doherty. “Ever.”

    “But, uh, you know, she’s gotta…That’s what she…That is her choice of how she wants to deal with it. Some people need to put it out there,” Shannen Doherty said of Tori Spelling’s decision to allow the world to see her every problem. “Whatever her reasons were, I think whether she wanted to own it herself in the sense of owning what she was going through because it was going to be in the papers regardless. It is a choice I’d never make because there’s just no mystery.”

    Shannen Doherty is still a bit bitter about being axed from the show after four seasons all those many years ago and said a reunion is not in the future — at least not for her.

    “Not for me!” she exclaimed.

    Shannen Doherty also had a few things to say about another co-star, Jason Priestley, in response to comments he made about her in his autobiography, Jason Jason: A Memoir.

    “I love Jason, but you know he had a car accident, a racing accident, and I think maybe parts of his memory got altered from that,” said Shannen Doherty. “Everybody changes…They have their own perception of the truth. His is definitely different than mine.”

    Shannen Doherty explained what bothered her most about Jason Priestley’s book.

    “Supposedly I wanted a limo, and I’ve always hated limos my entire life. I find them embarrassing and grotesque. I mean, there are things that would in no way happen. Like, I didn’t even go on that jet at that point in time…It’s like, ‘Wait, wait, wait! You totally confused me with somebody else maybe from the show?!”

    “I don’t really know. I just know that at some point everybody just needs to sell a book…Right?”

  • Pamela Anderson Caught Kissing Rick Salomon, Divorce Plans Canceled?

    Pamela Anderson and estranged husband Rick Salomon just might not be going through with a divorce after all.

    The maybe-still-a-couple were spotted kissing in Malibu, just two weeks after the Baywatch star filed for divorce.

    TMZ published a photo of the twosome kissing with both still wearing their wedding rings. Later, they sat down on a curb outside and continued to talk and cuddle, reported E! Online.

    “They appeared relaxed throughout and after their public display they left together in a Range Rover. They definitely looked as if they had reconciled,” a source said.

    Anderson filed for divorce on July 3, citing irreconcilable differences, after less than six months of marriage. This was their second attempt at happily-ever-after. They married on Jan. 9, just six years after Anderson had their first brief marriage annulled.

    Two days after she filed, Anderson posted a lengthy original poem about love, heartbreak and prostitution on Facebook.

    Post by Pamela Anderson.

    Anderson has been married to two other men besides Salomon. Her marriage to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee ended in 1998 after three years, and her marriage to Kid Rock in 2006 only lasted three months.

    Salomon — best known for his part in the Paris Hilton leaked sex tape scandal in 2003 — seems just as fickle as his wife. His first marriage to voice actress Elizabeth Daily ended in 2000, and his second marriage to actress Shannen Doherty ended in an annulment in 2002 after only nine months.

  • Shannen Doherty Dishes On Former 90210 Cast

    Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling go way back. Back to their 90210 days. Doherty may have a reputation for being a mean girl, but she apparently has a soft spot for Spelling.

    Spelling is currently going through a divorce and for some odd reason is choosing to air her dirty laundry on her reality show, True Tori. Rumor has it that several months ago, Tori’s husband Dean cheated on her.

    His mistress claimed that he not only cheated with her but also confided in her, sharing secrets about his marriage and Tori.

    At first, Tori tried to act like the rumors were not true but she later found out that Dean had indeed cheated on her and the couple is currently going through a divorce.

    Doherty recently appeared on the Arsenio Hall show and offered some advice to Tori.

    “Love yourself,” said Doherty. “We’re in a really harsh business where people tear you apart every single day. You always question yourself. You look in the mirror and you don’t see somebody beautiful. I just hope that Tori loves herself, because I think she should. She’s a beautiful girl and she needs to ignore the haters.”

    Spelling wasn’t the only 90210 cast mate that Doherty dished about. Jason Priestley recently released a book of memoirs in which he refers to Doherty as a diva. In the book he refers to one incident writing,

    “I could not believe my ears at Shannen’s very first words after she boarded,” the 44-year-old actor wrote in his book. “Her butt had barely hit her seat before she said loudly to the PR person, ‘Really? A town car? You send a town car to take me to the airport, not a limo?’ She sighed a very put-upon sigh. I laughed, as I couldn’t really tell if Shannen was kidding or not.”

    While many people assumed Shannen would comment on the book with sarcasm or a snotty remark, she took the high road.

    “It was so long ago,” she said. “I always say that everyone has their own version of the truth, and memories are very funny things.”

    It seems like Shannen has matured out of her mean girl ways and has learned how to avoid drama.

    What do you think of Shannen’s advice to Tori Spelling?

  • Shannen Doherty’s ‘Heart Breaks’ for Tori Spelling

    During a guest spot on the Arsenio Hall Show Thursday, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed actress Shannen Doherty commented on the marital woes of former 90210 co-star Tori Spelling, and responded to former TV-twin Jason Priestley’s newly-released memoir.

    Doherty admitted to Hall that she watches Lifetime’s reality series True Tori, and revealed that each episode leaves her shocked. “Wow, it’s just all out there!,” Doherty exclaimed, adding, “She is baring her soul and I think that everybody has their process of what’s cathartic for them in how to deal with something, and this might be hers.”

    “My heart does break for her,” said Doherty. “It breaks for anybody that’s in that situation. I mean, that’s pretty awful and I certainly hope everything works out for the best. And in meantime, it’s making for some amazing TV – I just hope that Tori loves herself. She’s a beautiful girl and she needs to ignore the haters.”

    Commenting on tidbits related in Priestley’s tell-all book, Hall recalled, “Back in the day, there was always stuff on my card about who you were battling with – They would say you’re battling with Tori, you’re battling with Jason, you’re battling with (Luke Perry)’s pig. Remember, Luke had a pig?”

    Doherty responded, “I mean, I only met it once. It didn’t like me, I guess, but I hear it’s writing a memoir! Can’t wait for that!”

    Here a stalwart Brandon (Priestley) gives twin sister Brenda (Doherty) a guilt trip over cigarette smoking, in a clip from the original Beverly Hills, 90210:

    Doherty’s general take on pal Priestley’s tell-all was “let it be.” The actress, who will appear in Animal Planet’s Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys on May 25, added, “It was so long ago,” referring to her time on 90210. “I always say that everyone has their own version of the truth, and memories are very funny things.”

  • Shannen Doherty Responds to Priestley Tell-all

    Shannen Doherty responded to Jason Priestley’s tell-all memoir and commiserated with Tori Spelling on Thursday’s Arsenio Hall Show.

    Doherty starred alongside Priestley, Spelling and Luke Perry on the original Beverly Hills 90210 series in the 1990s.

    “Back in the day,” said Hall to Doherty, “there was always stuff on my card about who you were battling with. They would say you’re battling with Tori, you’re battling with Jason, you’re battling with Luke’s pig. Remember, Luke had a pig?” Doherty, responded with a laugh, “I mean, I only met it once. It didn’t like me, I guess, but I hear it’s writing a memoir! Can’t wait for that!”

    The 43-year-old actress was referring to Priestley’s memoir and a story he told in the book of an interesting episode he had with Doherty on a private jet.

    “I could not believe my ears at Shannen’s very first words after she boarded,” Priestley wrote in his book. “Her butt had barely hit her seat before she said loudly to the PR person, ‘Really? A town car? You send a town car to take me to the airport, not a limo?’ She sighed a very put-upon sigh. I laughed, as I couldn’t really tell if Shannen was kidding or not.”

    Doherty took a let’s-let-bygones-be-bygones approach in responding to Hall’s questions about the infamous plane ride.

    “It was so long ago,” she said. “I always say that everyone has their own version of the truth, and memories are very funny things.”

    The actress also chatted about Spelling’s current marital woes, which is on display for the world to see each week on Lifetime’s True Tori. Admitting she tunes in to the reality show, Doherty said each episode leaves her slightly shocked.

    “Wow, it’s just all out there!” Doherty said.

    “She is baring her soul and I think that everybody has their process of what’s cathartic for them in how to deal with something, and this might be hers,” she said of her co-star.

    “My heart does break for her,” Doherty continued. “It breaks for anybody that’s in that situation. I mean, that’s pretty awful and I certainly hope everything works out for the best. And in meantime, it’s making for some amazing TV. I just hope that Tori loves herself. She’s a beautiful girl and she needs to ignore the haters.”

  • Jennie Garth Talks Old Beef With Shannen Doherty

    While making her promotional rounds for her new book Deep Thoughts From A Hollywood Blonde, actress Jennie Garth sat down with the E! Channel’s Catt Sadler and Terrence J about her early days in the TV business and her old beef with 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty.

    Garth said the feuds with Doherty had more to do with spending a lot of time together at work, and it wasn’t because the two really had a huge problem with each other.

    “We were locked in this sound stage for 14-16 hours everyday,” she said, recalling her time on the 90s Fox hit Beverly Hills 90210.

    “There were times when we loved each other and there were times when we wanted to claw each other’s eyes out.”

    Plus, both actresses were much younger, she said, which had a lot to do with the arguments they had during the show. “It was more of just young girls finding their way and finding their individual voices,” said Garth.

    And both of them being the same zodiac sign didn’t help either, she said.

    “Shannen and I are both Aries women. We’re both very strong, independent women, so we butt heads a lot. Now, as grown women, we happen to get along well.”

    The 41 year old also talked about being famous at a very young age and how she had difficulty coping with it, and during the peak of 90210, Garth said it was hard for her to face her fans or be outside in public. The blonde beauty also said that she didn’t have the best support system around her during the show’s heyday.

    “[In the book] I talk about my early stardom and being sort of catapulted into that as a teenager and not really having the instruction booklet to deal with that, not knowing what I was doing,” said Garth.

    “I was kind of alone on that journey. I didn’t have a lot of support around me, so I had to figure that out as I went. I think I kind of managed it pretty well. I ended up pretty good. I didn’t get too lost along the way.”

  • Jennie Garth Shares Juicy Revelations in New Book

    Jennie Garth is the author of a new book called Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde, and since its release on Tuesday the juicy revelations within its pages have piqued the interest of many fans and nosy readers. Garth doesn’t leave much about her 41-year life untouched.

    Jennie talks anxiety–she suffered from it horribly right after being cast on Beverly Hills 90210. She talks about her broken marriage to Peter Facinelli. She even touches upon what it was like working with Amanda Bynes when the two starred in What I Like About You. Yes, there’s lots of good gossip amidst these pages. Do you think it’s enough to land Jennie Garth on the best seller’s list?

    Even more enticing tidbits in Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde include the availability of drugs on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 and her relationships with both Shannen Doherty (nemesis) and Tori Spelling (dear friend).

    Tori Spelling tweeted her excitement about Jennie Garth’s new book when it came out on Tuesday.

    Garth suffered horribly when her marriage to Peter Facinelli crumbled, and she believes writing her book helped her through that period in many ways.

    “In some ways [writing was] cathartic and very eye-opening for myself to take a look and see how my life has progressed and all the things that have happened and how they’ve molded me into the person I am today,” she said.

    Jennie Garth is planning to return to TV in the near future along with Tori Spelling. The pair both serve as executive producers and stars in the upcoming Mystery Girls. It should definitely be a lot of fun for fans to have these two back together again on TV.

  • Melissa Gilbert Slams “Little House” Co-Stars

    Melissa Gilbert shared some juicy gossip about her former “Little House On The Prairie” co-stars on Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, saying she would punch one of them right in the nose if she ran into her today.

    According to Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson, who played sweet, blind older sister Mary on the show, wasn’t anything like her character.

    “[Anderson was] “hateful, horrid, mean, terrible, mean, difficult,” Gilbert said. “She hated me. She knocked me off the wagon when I was nine.”

    Wow! Looks like there was some drama going on behind the scenes of the family-oriented show. But Gilbert didn’t just have an issue with Anderson; she says Shannen Doherty, who played Jenny Wilder from 1982-1983, went on to have a one-night stand with Gilbert’s first husband, Bo Brinkman. Doherty better hope she never sees Gilbert on the streets, because things could get violent.

    “[I] would just punch her in the nose,” Gilbert said.

    The 49-year old actress also got candid about a celebrity boyfriend from her past, dropping the bombshell that she used to date Tom Cruise.

    “When I dated him, he was Tom Mapother still,” Gilbert said. “He had just moved to Los Angeles. I did not have sex with him. We made out, but honestly, there was no sex.He was a struggling actor and I was working, I actually bought him his first set of dishes.”

    Gilbert and new husband Timothy Busfield have just moved to Michigan, and she spoke recently about their goal to bring the film industry to the state.

    “Our objective was to come to Michigan and create a film and television and theater industry here as well,” she said. “The state needs it. They have a great tax-incentive package for films and television. There’s an amazing talent pool here. We just bought our own camera and we’re going to start shooting stuff and create our own stuff. We’re shooting a short film with my son Michael in February. A Michigan-based story that Tim’s writing and directing that we’re starring in.”

  • Jennie Garth: All a-Twitter Over New Beau Shimbo

    Jennie Garth—probably still best known for her Beverly Hills, 90210 alum status—is capturing entertainment gossip headlines again over her new beau, Michael Shimbo. In a line right out of a teen drama, the couple is, “going steady,” a source says. Shimbo’s claim to fame is his position as CEO of the internet company that runs the PlanesTrains+Automobiles travel channel—in your internet searches, you’ll likely be redirected to fan pages of the similarly-named 1987 Steve Martin, John Candy buddy film.

    Frequently posting photos on Twitter and Instagram of her time with Shimbo, Garth reportedly introduced him to Shannen Doherty, fellow 90210 grad, during a double date at Nobu (Shimbo on the far left). Reporters say the star couldn’t be happier. Not shy of publicity, Shimbo and Garth were seen at the Comedy Central roast of James Franco in late August. Garth Tweets a Shimbo quote over wine, “I love a good buttery Chardonnay,” pithy.

    Garth and ex, Peter Facinelli, have three daughters from their 11-year marriage, which ended in early 2012; the divorce was finalized in June. They met in 1995 on the set of An Unfinished Affair. Since their split, the couple sold their home in the Los Angeles enclave of Toluca Lake to co-creator of The Big Bang Theory, Bill Prady.

    Earlier forays into the dating pool for Garth included Jeremy Salken, drummer for the group Big Gigantic, healthcare exec Jason Clark, Design Star Antonio Ballatore and photographer Noah Abrams. Garth was also previously married to musician Daniel Clark, whom she divorced in 1996.

    Dating since November 2012, Facinelli and girlfriend Jaimie Alexander have caught their share of press, too. They were seen in Cancun, Mexico, during a late August getaway with Garth and Facinelli’s daughters. Alexander costarred with Facinelli on Nurse Jackie.

    The affectionate dating mom also posted pictures celebrating the end of summer with girls Luca (16), Lola (10) and Fiona (6) and the ladies were caught crafting in a US Weekly feature.
