HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

It’s been a very busy week in the political world with the biggest story being the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump – here’s what we know. There was a reason that Donald was heard screaming for his SHOES as the secret service carried him away from the podium moments after the shooting. He wears LIFTS in his shoes to appear taller, and vain Donald didn’t want the press to photograph his shoes with the special inserts in them!

Speaking of Donald, as he accepted the Republican nomination for president on Thursday, he wore a bandage over his ear that was grazed by that bullet and now we just heard that he’s scheduled to undergo minor reconstructive plastic surgery to replace the cartilage that was blown away. Donald has turned to a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and is planning to have the surgery within the next few weeks. My source says that he could have gotten in earlier, but Donald enjoys the image of himself with the bandage as he feels it makes him appear stoic and macho.

The other big news is the continued backlash against President Joe Biden’s campaign and we just heard this scoop. The biggest Democratic donors were recently informed via a secure conference call that Biden will NOT be the nominee and to expect an announcement before the end of July. This isn’t speculation -it’s a done deal- and the powers that be are currently drafting a graceful way for Biden to bow out.

The Olympics are all over the news since they’re starting on July 27, and my source says that last minute plans are currently underway to get Taylor Swift to perform at either the opening or closing ceremony. Seems that ticket sales to the events haven’t been as great as expected, so they’re hopeful that an appearance by Taylor could somehow change that. She hasn’t signed on yet, as there are a lot of moving parts to navigate, but expect a big announcement if it all works out as the Olympic committee hopes.

Finally, a sad week for celebrity deaths, including Dr. Ruth, Bob Newhart and Shannen Doherty. Speaking of Shannen, her former husband, the handsome Ashley Hamilton just revealed his own cancer diagnosis during a statement he released to the press on her passing. We just heard this though – Ashley is planning to launch a cancer foundation in Shannen’s memory and raise awareness of the disease and hopefully raise funds in the process. He’s leaning on his stepfather, the wealthy but notoriously frugal Rod Stewart to kick things off with a large donation. We will keep you posted if Rod funds the endeavor.

SHANNON DOHERTY AND ASHLEY HAMILTON: WHO’S SORRY NOW?

We were saddened to hear of Shannon Doherty’s passing on Saturday, July 13. Throughout the decades, Shannon was the topic of many interesting anecdotes beginning with her time on 90210 (who can forget her antics as a young starlet hanging out at the nightclubs on the Sunset Strip back in the early 90’s?) While many of her costars have already issued statements, her ex-husband Ashley Hamilton is filled with regret that he never reached out to Shannon and buried the hatchet after their ill-fated 1993 marriage ended in divorce six months later. Shannon always blamed her tumultuous marriage for getting her fired from Beverly Hills, 90210. Ashley hasn’t spoken to Shannon in almost 30 years and he sobbed to a friend that it was a mistake. My source reveals that Ashley is hoping to do something to honor Shannon and ease his conscience.

SHANNEN DOHERTY AND HER THIRD HUSBAND ARE DOING PARIS

AG061837_01shancut

Third time seems to be the charm for Shannen Doherty. She’s been married to her 3rd husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, since 2011 and they’re still going storng, although he WAS married when they met. His work frequently takes him to Europe and right now they’re in Paris enjoying the flea market and restaurants. We remember when she was not so calm – we sneaked into her birthday party at a Hollywood bar when she was on Beverly Hills 90210. During the party we were nervous because she walked up to several strangers and demanded to know “Who invited YOU?” By the end of the evening she was standing in the street outside yelling “I could kill all of you!” Those were, indeed, dramatic times.

SHANNEN DOHERTY IS STILL MARRIED

Shannen Doherty’s husband Kurt Iswarienko must be doing something right because their marriage has last much longer than her two previous ones. Tempestuous Beverly Hills 90210 star Shannen, 42, was married to Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomen earlier in her career, for a mere seven months each. She and her photographer husband Kurt have survived two years of wedded bliss AND a reality show about their wedding on WETV, that we wish we had seen.

SHANNEN DOHERTY IS GETTING AN EDUCATION ONLINE

In case you were wondering “Whatever happened to Shannen Doherty?” you need to wonder no more – the original Beverly Hills 90210 star is pursuing a college degree! Or so she says in this commercial for Education Connection. Presumably she was so successful as a young actress that she had to put her education on hold, although what she plans to do with a “liberal arts” degree is unknown. (Do employers take online degrees seriously, anyway?)

EVEN SHANNEN DOHERTY’S LIFE HAS BECOME A REALITY SHOW

The Kardashians might have started an awful new trend – celebrity weddings filmed for reality shows. It makes you wonder if these people would even bother to get married if THEY had to pay for it. Shannen Doherty, 40, (the Lindsay Lohan of the early 90’s) and her photographer boyfriend Kurt Iswarienko, 37, just tied the knot in Malibu while cameras rolled for her “Shannen” show to debut in 2012. The show documents their romance, marriage and her current career. Naturally she’ll try to get pregnant right away to extend the series another season.

THERE’S MORE OF SHANNEN DOHERTY TO LOVE

Shannen Doherty, 39, and her boyfriend Kurt Iswarienko – a noted photographer – have been together for around eight months now and Shannon’s rounder figure has people wondering if she could be expecting. The 90210 star has always been skinny. When Shannen and Kurt started dating, he was married and his mother-in-law says that Shannen broke up the marriage. Shannon has already been married twice to questionable characters – Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon.

SHANNEN DOHERTY DANCED FOR HER DAD

We couldn’t quite figure out why Shannen Doherty made such an emotional situation over the fact that her father was in the audience at “Dancing with the Stars” watching her compete. Or why they both had tears in their eyes. We didn’t realize that her father had had a stroke and couldn’t talk or walk without help. No WONDER she was so happy to appear on his “favorite show.” Hopefully her dancing will improve the second time around.

SHANNEN DOHERTY GOT WHAT SHE WANTED

90210’s Brenda Walsh, Shannen Doherty, appears to be living happily ever after with her photographer boyfriend Kurt Iswarienko. Last year there were rampant rumors that Shannen was a homewrecker and broke up Kurt’s marriage, but everyone apparently survived the scandal and they’re still going strong. The pair was photographed at the Malibu Country Mart.

SHANNEN DOHERTY LOOKS AS SWEET AS PIE

Shannen Doherty showed up for the Radar magazine party (funeral actually- the irreverant mag is kaput again) at the brand-new New York club Citrine this week. It’s rumored that she is dating the co-owner and entrepreneur David Rodolitz, and this photo does nothing to dispel the rumor. Shannen looks uncharacteristically coy. She seems to be making a bit of a comeback this year.
UPDATE: Shannon’s boyfriend has been misidentified. This is not David Rodolitz. Does anyone know who this boyfriend is?
FURTHER UPDATE: Shannen’s companion in the photo has been identified as Tim Bitici, a friend of hers and fashion editor for an Italian magazine.
