Shannen Doherty, former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed and NEW castmember on the 10th season of Dancing with the Stars, was a guest on Lopez Tonight last week wherein she appeared to promote the upcoming season of DWTS. For some strange reason, I totally missed seeing her on the show the night it aired but finally got to see her interview online this weekend … and what a great interview it was!
Shannen explains in this interview why she decided to finally agree to appear on Dancing with the Stars … and it’s a heartfelt story that really shows what a sweetheart she truly is underneath that tough exterior. Shannen revealed that her father suffered his 9th stroke that left him almost totally incapacitated. Because he is such a fan of the show, she decided to appear on the show to inspire her father to work towards recovery. By her attempt to conquer her fear of public audiences, she hopes to inspire her father to work especially hard to recover from his latest stroke. It’s a very sweet story, one I think y’all need to hear for yourselves. After the jump, check out Shannen‘s interview on Lopez Tonight in full …
I totally agree with George Lopez, Shannen‘s got my vote already. I have never, ever cast a vote for any competitive reality TV show … not DWTS, not American Idol … none of them. I am deffo planning on giving my support AND my votes to Shannen Doherty. If her continued appearance on the show will help her father rehabilitate himself back to health … then I will vote for her as long as I can.

Ack! She brought tears to my eyes! I hope she does well!
She is FANTASTIC! I cannot wait to see her on DWTS. She is better than that show but I’ll take what I can get.
aww that was a really nice interview :)
Man, I don’t usually watch Dancing with the Stars, but I might have to tune in just to watch Shannen. She is a pretty amazing woman to do that for her father.
love it!! not a big fan either of DWTS….but I am a fan of Brenda :) will watch just to see her.
