2021-09-19 05:40:26 +0000 UTCI can kind of see why some gravitate toward a free forum/website and complain (while some stay for years), but I'm puzzled why anyone would pay to do so? If you don't like Enty or believe his pods, then...? I haven't heard him say he knows everyone or is close with everyone. But after years in the business he surely has contacts far and wide. Strangers also send tips and blinds (as with any gossip site/publication.) He said he wasn't going to say anything *bad* about Shannen and he didn't. So why would he say any of that? I remember things you mentioned, from the tabloids at the time. How is it a deep dive if it goes into "public knowledge?" I didn't hear the part about the baby. Saying she was closEST to someone doesn't necessarily mean "close" and people define it different ways. It sounds more to me like of the cast he was the kindest to her. And that dovetails with what I saw in my brief glimpse.

2021-09-19 04:53:22 +0000 UTCHe is absolutely, 100% without a doubt a liar. I don’t claim to have ties or personal knowledge of every living “celebrity” like Enty does. That in and of itself should throw up some red flags. Trust me- no one who is slumming it with the likes of Bjork and Nicole Eggert has access to personal, private details about George Clooney. It doesn’t work that way. This particular “deep dive” happens to be something I was professionally involved with for nearly 10 years. Everything he said was so comically off base that any illusion credibility he had, has completely vanished. Yes, Mr. Spelling has a soft spot for Shannen but by the time he decided to not re-up her contract- the bloom was off the rose. The producers, show runners, directors, crew & cast were all done w her. She’d show up incredibly late to set, making the entire cast wait hours for her to arrive. Then she’d lock herself in the trailer for hours, refusing to come out until whatever ridiculous demands she had at the time were met. She threw things on multiple occasions, screamed, cursed and had no problem getting physical back then. The Producers, who’s offices were not on the Van Nuys set, would have to travel to set constantly bc there was an issue with Shannen. She’d turn 8-10 shoots into 16 hour days for the rest of the cast & crew. She cost the show a ton of money and she wasn’t bringing much to the table at that point. You didn’t see Luke or any of the cast members quitting the show in protest or publicly campaigning for her return. Luke got along with pretty much everyone that came on set. He and Shannen were friends but they were not romantic. And why does Enty insist on saying “without a doubt Shannen was closest to Luke” over and over again? It wasn’t true but Luke also never talked like that to begin with. Lastly, to imply that Shannen was at one time pregnant with Luke Perry’s baby is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard and it’s insulting to both of them.
