“I have a rep. Did I earn it? Yeah, I did."
Amidst increasingly weird and wild times, the surf world came together to mourn the passing of the great actress Shannen Doherty at the too young age of 53. The Hollywood star, who became notable to surf fans during her run on Beverly Hills 90210 as the girlfriend of surfing bad boy Dylan McKay, played to the hilt by Luke Perry.
The two would often sneak away in McKay’s vintage Porsche Speedster for unsanctioned Malibu surfs.
In one episode real trouble struck when Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh, witnessed a horror surf accident.
Doherty’s publicist declared, “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.”
In a 2020 interview with Good Morning, America, the actress revealed that her cancer diagnosis was terminal while sharing more about her life in television/film. “I have a rep,” she gamely stated. “Did I earn it? Yeah, I did. But, after a while you sort of try to shed that rep because you’re kind of a different person. You’ve evolved and all of the bad things you’ve done in your life have brought you to a much better place.”
Perry, of course, died at the tender age of 52 after suffering a series of strokes.
Surf fans trusting they are enjoying the hereafter together.

one of your best
sweet baby jebus
So nuts that Chas would be the top.
I think they are both waiting for Ashton to arrive.
This is Gold!
BRAVO! I dumped a girl in college because she loved the band Air Supply. WTF, hopefully she learned from that experience!
I had a girl that would fuck the moment a Billy Squire song played
I had to buy the tape
Did you marry her or did you smartly move on after the thrill was gone?
I got caught with her by my GF.
Lost both in one night, never flinched no regrets.
No threesome before goodbye?
you pitching a tent?
only 53? wow.
now I almost feel bad about having the hots for her in the 80’s.
condolences to her friends and family.
The ex Mrs Hippy would host 90210 parties at our home…. all the girls would come over.
Did some work at the Spellings and Tori was super hot real life…. smokin. Life has worn on her though
here’s a story for you.
Spelling (Aaron) used to own a house on Sunset (the one with the horse jockey statues).
My car broke down and I pulled into his drive in front of the gate. I got out of my car and went to the gate and rang the intercom. Guard answers.
I ask the guard if he could call a tow truck for me. He said no, you have to move your car. I told him, my car is broke and I need a tow truck and asked him to call one. He said no, move your car, and hung up.
so I went and stood by my car. I was there for about twenty minutes when the guard comes to the gate and tells me to move my car.
I said, please call me a tow truck my car is broke. he said move your car into the road. I said fuck you, are you an idiot.
(If you know where Spellings house was it was in the winding section of sunset on one of the turns.) fuck that. total accident hazard.
then he says: “Move your car now or I’ll have it towed”, and walked away.
in my best Seinfeld voice: “That’s what I’ve been asking for George, thank you, thank you.” then I did Kramer: “Ohhhh yeaaaahh, Jerry”
about an hour later the tow truck shows up.
I tried to buzz the intercom again to thank the guard. he didn’t answer.
Great story
Solid.
thanks.
you would think that sitting in front of Spellings house for over an hour they would have at least delivered me some foie gras or steak tartare.
Where’s the humanity, I say?
Truly uncivilized times in Beverly Hills…..90210.
Amazing what the dual effects of botox and discount plastic surgery do to faces like Tori’s
She should not have needed discounts. Her parents leveled a hilltop in Beverly Hills and the house had to have been 12,000 Sq Feet. Prolly more, property was several acres and sold for over a 100 M.
Jennie Garth lived alone atop Benedict Canyon in a little bungalow. Very attractive. Cheap as fuck too.
Damn this guy knows all the inside info!
Neither aged very well, but then again who am I to talk? At least I don’t have botox, hair implants or joker face from plastic surgery in an attempt to look “good”

when I was living on the Gold Coast, there was a bar that had 90210/Melrose Place night, which aired back to back on Aussie television.
the place would be packed and not a word spoken except during commercial breaks.
It absolutely amazed me how many Aussies loved that shit.
aussie women are only beaten by pommies as easy.
Fuck man, how old are you? Maybe I should cut you some slack.
60, …..and still riding a 6’0″.
you?
….and no, please don’t let up. I like y0u just the way you are.
44. I ride a 5’11 shorty, same height as me. I imagine you as being about 4’11, so i guess that 6′ basically classifies as a midlength.
lucky you’re not a baseball player because you strike out quite a bit.
I’m 6’0″ (183cm to you) so got you beat by an inch, shorty.
Saying you were 6’1 would’ve made this more believable.
that’s funny.
but yep, I’m a flat 6′.
I wish I was 6’1″ or taller. my little brother is 6’3″ and my older brother is 6’5″
so I’m the shorty of the family.
I’m not a protection specialist but there was a pause in the detail grabbing the Don until the initial salvo was heard dying down, is that on purpose? I have now seen a video of a guy who said they were pointing out the shooter’s location to the detail and they apparently did nothing until he started popping off rounds from “outside” the “security perimeter”. Seems like you should have observers on the “security perimeter” looking for just such a scenario?
I just heard a report on that.
apparently, the Trump campaign and his Secret Service detail have been repeatedly requesting the Biden administration to increase his security detail even as recent as last week, but have been repeatedly been denied by Mayorkas…..the same guy that has been saying for 3 years that “our southern border is secure”.
Corruption at the highest level.
You have Fox News on your phone?
sorry “news”
Nope.
I don’t watch the news and from what I hear, Fox is just as shitty as the rest of them…..although I’ll sometimes tune into Greg Gutfeld (if he’s on) when there’s a pitcher change. Gutfeld’s a great comedian.
I guess if you heard a report then it must be true
it came from the mouth of a former Obama secret service agent. Told to him by his buddies/former colleagues who are on Trumps protection detail….. so who knows?
Nope
nope I didn’t hear it (fricken tinnitus) or nope to didn’t happen or nope Mayorkas denied the increase in the protection detail or nope he hasn’t been saying for three years that the border is secure, or nope it’s not corruption at the highest level
do you think NOPE is actually an amalgamation of the words No and Hope as in No Hope?

Um Skippy, we are here to mourn the passing of Shannen Doherty not talk about a 5.56 round whizzing past the ultimate orange surfer’s head
i blame booze, for me, not Shannon bon voyage
No worries Skippy.
Boozy blather is de rigueur around here.
Same as it ever was.
Here’s something that might make you feel better.
This is great.
I too was overserved Friday night. Not that I’m judging you, but I am judging myself.
No mention of Dick Simmons?
or Slim Pickens
or Country Dick Montana?
HAHA!
Broke Dick Mountain
WHOA! I take it you don’t recall the band Dick formed called The Beat Farmers? They were a San Diego band back in the 80s
I remember The Beat Farmers. I forgot the name of the club, but they used to be the house band at a club down there.
seen them a few times and as a warm up band for someone like The Ramones or the Kinks, I think it was at The Belly Up. can’t remember the exact gig, but the Beat Framers were pretty fun.
The 80’s music scene in SoCal was incredible.
So many clubs…..
Did you know Benny’s french canadien GF? From Toronto, way over his pay grade?
They were the quintessential party boy band in the 80s!
Was king of Mardi Gras when I was there in 89. Seemed to really embrace the role. Laissez les bon temps rouler.
