There is a great article in today's NY Post. Shannen spoke with Cindy Adams, who is a gossip columist for the NY Post. She told her that she used to worry that her 90210 days would hurt her career-wise. She was raised by strong parents and thought her opinions would be valued and respected. She said she was wrong, but today people like Julia, Angelina, Nicole, and Gwyneth finally paved the way. She talked about her new show which she says in a "funny, heartbreaking" series. She plays a girl who's dating. Her quote"women will love it: men will wonder, am I really that big a jerk? She says some of the stuff is from her own life. She is a romatic who has a talent for picking really bad guys. She says she learned from all of them and only regrets her first marriage.
She is not seeing her ex as some papers reported. She only met him at a party. She is close to her ex-stepchildren so they are friendly. She is seeing someone else lately. She says that "the truth is, it's hared to date me because of the gossip.
Mostly she is passionate about her career. Next to her parents that what she cares most about. She calls her mother five times a day and bought her parents a house near hers in Malibu.
What she wants people to know now is, I was never a creaming mess on the set.(90210).
I thinks it's great the way she takes care of her parents but I think it's a shame that she has to constantly deal with gossip and rumors. But Shannen is a trooper, and she will always land on her feet.
