Shannen Doherty, former 90210 star, pitched a reality show idea to WEtv. The network liked it and inked a deal with the actress and her fiance, celebrity photographer Kurt Iswarienko.
The couple, who hooked up in early 2009, will be chronicled as they plan their wedding and renovate their Malibu home. The premiere episode will air in January and the season finale will culminate with their celebrity wedding.
Show exec John Miller said: “People will see a side of Shannen they never expected to see.” Expect her to be “unfiltered, honest and vulnerable.” Clearly smitten with Doherty, Miller admits: “I would watch her go to a supermarket. She’s insanely compelling.”
Doherty, 40, hasn’t been particularly lucky in love and has a long and rocky track record to prove it. She allegedly pulled a gun on fiance Dean Factor in 1993, threatening to hire a “few guys to have their way with him.” He got a protection order and the romance ended abruptly.
Her five-month marriage to George Hamilton’s son Ashley Hamilton ended in 1994. After a nine year break from wedded bliss, she tried it again with Rick Salomon. That union was annulled in 2003 after nine-months.
Perhaps she has mellowed with age… and then again, maybe not. We’re thinking that fiance Kurt should be very afraid. Your thoughts?
