Shannen Sues over False Plastic Surgery Allegations!



It's one thing to read about the plastic surgery you've had done in the papers. And quite another to read about it when you haven't even had any... Such was the case for former Beverly Hills 90210 star Shannen Doherty, who burst into tears when she read a magazine article which claimed she'd gone under the knife. The 35-year-old was appalled to see the front cover of US mag Star, which featured her face and the headline Extreme Makeover. She has now hired a lawyer and is suing the publication. Appearing as a guest co-host on US talk show The View, she was asked if she had ever had surgery.

Shannen replied: "No. I'm actually willing to go so far as to go sit down with whatever plastic surgeon they want to put in front of me who can inspect my face." It was Shannen's hairdresser who actually brought the article to her attention. The actress was so distraught that production of her new series Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty, had to be stopped. She explained: "Production got halted for about an hour and a half because I was sobbing uncontrollably. If you didn't have it (plastic surgery) and they're saying that you did, then it's embarrassing, it's humiliating. "I hired a litigator and I'm willing to put as much money behind a lawsuit as humanly possible, just to sort of teach them a lesson."
