Photos and outtakes from Radar's October/November Shannen Doherty interview

Will Shannen Doherty's much ballyhooed return to the zip code she made famous become permanent? Negotiations are underway, and in our opinion, CW president Dawn Ostroff better just pull out her checkbook and give the girl whatever she wants. Because otherwise, seriously, why bother?

Meanwhile, the once-and-future Brenda Walsh is poised to raise her profile considerably as Radar Magazine's next cover girl. In the October/November issue—on stands October 7—Doherty dishes on her germophobia, her shoe-ophilia, her Christian leanings, and her kind of, maybe wavering Republicanism. She also unloads on the tabloids that, for several not-so-fun years back in the '90s, turned her into public enemy number one.

On how it felt to be hated by the tabloids:
"I was exploring who I was as a person and testing my own boundaries and trying to be a normal 18-, 19-, 20-year-old, and I got raked over the coals. Many nights I cried myself to sleep over that stuff."

On the worst lie she ever read about herself:
"There've been so many. One of those bullshit rags [wrote that I'd entered AA]. They said that I was so, quote, 'scared of the drink' that I was sleeping on my sponsor's couch. Now, I've never been in AA. I accompanied my husband to AA meetings—actually, I forced him to go to one—but I've never actually gone for myself. Sometimes you can find some truth, a little nugget somewhere, but not one thing about this was true ... But people sell their stories and make their 500 bucks at your expense, and it's like, 'Wow. Really?'"
