Shannen Doherty says she didn't diss former Beverly Hills 90210 costar Jason Priestley

      Here's something that's going to elicit a sigh of "who cares?" from some readers.

      But since we're the Vancouver entertainment paper, it's my responsibility to bring it to your attention.

      A once-famous TV thespian has taken a shot at a beloved Vancouver-born celebrity—actor, director, and wine connoisseur Jason Priestley, aka Brandon Walsh on Beverly Hills 90210.

      It seems that Priestley's former costar, Shannen Doherty, is miffed about what he wrote about her in his autobiography, which was released last year.

      Last week, she told Sirius XM radio host Jenny Hutt that she loves Priestley. But then she alleged that a car accident that he survived in 2002 may have contributed to memory loss.

      In particular, she's disputing his story of complaints she once made about being picked up in a Lincoln Town Car rather than a limousine.

      "Supposedly I wanted a limo, and I've always hated limos my entire life," she claimed. "I find them embarrassing and grotesque."

      To make matters more confusing, Doherty later told People magazine that she didn't "diss" her former costar in her earlier interview.

      Priestley has taken the high road, tweeting that he loves Doherty—and this would have been obvious had she read his book.
