Shannen Doherty has hit out at Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan - insisting they deserve to get negative press for flashing photographers without wearing underwear.

The 37-year-old star was branded a ‘bad girl’ during her stint on hit show Beverly Hills, 90210 during the height of her acting career in the 1990s.

But she insists her own outlandish behavior never matched that of Spears and Lohan - who have been snapped in a series of photographs without their underwear.

She says, “You know, you play a character; people perceive you as the character. I guess it means I did my job. But what did I do?! I went out. I was 18 years old! At 18, you’re going to sorority parties. I just did it in the public eye. I certainly wasn’t showing my crotch. Just because I was on 90210 didn’t mean that I didn’t get to have my own real life experiences. You have to live somewhat normally.”

And Doherty says she’s already made plans to settle far away from the limelight, where she hopes to start a family.

She adds: “I’m just a normal person who likes to play with my dogs and ride my horses. I dream of moving back to the South every single day of my life now. I’m actually looking at places in Mississippi and Tennessee… I definitely want a child. Or two. Not sure on the two.”

Diane Kruger isn’t up for a trophy at this year’s Venice film festival, but Wednesday she received a prize of a different sort.

“I just found out I’m going to do [Quentin] Tarantino’s next film with Brad Pitt,” Kruger told People at the Valentino party in Venice Thursday. “I’m very excited. Quentin just called. I play a German movie star but I don’t want to give too much away.”

Kruger was in Venice sans boyfriend Joshua Jackson, who’s “working – he has a job, you know.” But, the actress added, “He comes in on Saturday so I’m excited for that, too.”

Kruger said she was “fashionably busy” at the film festival. Besides the Valentino premiere and party, where she sat next to the designer at the film’s screening, wearing a beige gown he picked out for her, she’s also attending a party Sunday for Jaeger Le Coutre, the Swiss watch company she promotes.

Kruger previously worked with Pitt in Troy.

Contrary to a report, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are not opening a bar in NYC.

“It’s not true,” Pratt tells Usmagazine.com.

W magazine’s Editor’s Blog had reported that the Hills duo are “in talks to open a bar” in the Murray Hill area called The Hill.

Though Montag endorsed John McCain for president, the couple doesn’t have plans to attend the upcoming Republican National Convention.

“I don’t think we have enough time,” Montag told Extra on Wednesday.

Before McCain’s selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, Montag suggested, “I am McCain’s vice president! Go Team!”

Lindsay Lohan’s uncle has been sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison for defrauding the U.S. government of terrorist relief funds.

Paul Sullivan was jailed on Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of mail fraud in April 2006 after pocketing $132,000 of a $650,000 loan from the Small Business Administration.

The 50-year-old brother of Lohan’s mother Dina claimed his car company lost business after terrorist attacks on New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Sullivan reportedly broke down in tears in the courtroom when the Long Island, New York judge delivered his sentencing.

He has also been ordered to pay back the $650,000 SBA loan.

Wow. Holy TV goodness!

Jennifer Aniston will be returning to NBC’s Must-See Thursday this fall, appearing in an episode of NBC’s 30 Rock, a solid source familiar with the deal just confirmed to me.

“She is shooting now,” says the insider. “We are not giving any specifics on her character.”

The show’s rep says, “Unfortunately, NBC is unable to confirm.”

Given the Saturday Night Live-esque nature of the series, Aniston could be playing either herself or a scripted character. As soon as we have more details, we will post them right here.

Aniston is actually the second Friends alum to come on the series—David Schwimmer also guested as Greenzo during last season’s environmental episode. And the show’s astounding seven guest-star Emmy nominations clearly provided good motivation for Aniston to get back in the Must-See game.

The new season of 30 Rock premieres Oct. 30, when the series also welcomes back Emmy nominee Will Arnett.
