'Charmed' Producer Explains New Character |
 |
Enter Paige Halliwell -- the long-lost younger half-sister of surviving siblings Piper and Phoebe. Kern plans either a two-part season premiere or a two-hour single episode, to air in late September, to explain the new character, the secret daughter of the sisters' mother and her illicit lover, a "White Lighter". According to Kern, Paige's newly emerged power resembles Prue's ability to move objects with her mind, but because her father was a White Lighter, she will have other abilities as well. Full Story

'CHARMED,' I'M SURE |
 |
Rose McGowan has been signed to replace Shannen Doherty on "Charmed" - confirming an exclusive story first reported by The Post last week. McGowan has starred in the movies "Driven" and "Monkeybone" and recently broke off her relationship with Manson, the goth-rocker known for wearing makeup and women's clothing. There's no word yet on what McGowan's character will be named, although it's a good bet that her name will begin with the letter "P" - since all the female "Charmed" characters (Prue, who was played by Doherty; Phoebe, played by Milano; and Piper, played by Combs) begin with that letter.

Survivor Reject Is No Charmer |

Other actresses TV Guide is suggesting to complete the Power of Three include Grosse Pointe star Irene Molloy and Jennie Garth, who co-starred as best friend and chief romantic rival to Doherty's Brenda on Beverly Hills 90210.

Rumors Behind Doherty's Exit from 'Charmed' |
Did Shannen Doherty leave "Charmed" over a feud with her costar Alyssa Milano? That's what an insider told MSNBC's gossip column "The Scoop," adding that the two actresses "couldn't stand to be on the set together.""Shannen gave The WB an ultimatum: 'her or me.' Initially the thinking was that Alyssa was going to go. They were both under contract and had lawyers hashing it out until the last minute, but Shannen overplayed her hand and The WB went with Alyssa instead. She’s much better liked by the cast and staff anyway," says the insider.
In addition, a rumored romance between Milano and her co-star Brian Krause, reportedly further angered Doherty, according to the gossip columnist Ted Casablanca.
Doherty also ran into trouble on her former gig (and fellow Aaron Spelling-produced series) "Beverly Hills, 90210." Doherty was let go from a leading role on "90210" after four seasons on the show.
Officials from The WB were not available for comment. The network officially unvieled its new fall season today, and executives said they had no doubt Spelling would find a suitable replacement for Doherty. Full Story

Shannen No Longer Charmed |
Shannen Doherty has mysteriously walked away from her smash WB show "Charmed" - and nobody's saying why.
"We have had a long and prosperous relationship with Shannen and we didn't want to hold her back from what she wanted to do," Spelling TV said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter yesterday.
Doherty's behavior in real life has been less than magical. She was ordered to take anger management classes in 1997 following a melee in front of a Los Angeles nightclub when she reportedly smashed a car window with a beer bottle. Last month, the 30-year-old actress pleaded no contest to charges of drunken driving. Full Story

Doherty was known for her attitude and temper on her previous series, "Beverly Hills, 90210," and was fired after four seasons. The character of Hunter Fallow in The WB's recent comedy "Grosse Pointe" was loosely based on Doherty, who did have a recent run-in with the law when she was arrested for drunk driving last year. She pleaded no contest to the charges earlier this month. Full Story |
