David Kronke: (Elton John song title goes here)

Shannen Doherty will be doing a reality show for the Oxygen cable network in which she will do what she does best - be mean to people. (Subscription required to link.) According to the article, in "Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty" (the title seems to carry with it a double entendre), viewers (suppressed chuckle) will be able to vote for the, um, well, hmm - actress with a colorful past? - to dump boyfriends, friends, and so on.

This will air in the summer, along with another Lifetime reality series starring Janice Dickinson, formerly the crazy judge on "America's Next Top Model." Is it just me, or is Oxygen, rather than empowering women, doing everything it can to ruin the gender's reputation?
