OXYGEN PUTS NEW TWIST ON RELATIONSHIP REALITY SHOWS WITH ORIGINAL SERIES BREAKING UP WITH SHANNEN DOHERTY

------

Shannen Doherty Hosts and Executive Produces New Half-Hour Reality Series for Oxygen; Premiering Tuesday, August 22nd at 10pm*

------

LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2006 � Can�t deal with the confrontation or the guilt of a break-up? Just call Shannen Doherty. In the newest twist on reality relationship shows, Doherty comes to the rescue of men and women who are unable to muster up the courage to break off their toxic relationships with bad boyfriends/girlfriends, �frenemies,� or tyrannical bosses in Oxygen�s Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty. Doherty stars and executive produces Oxygen�s 13-episode half-hour reality series, premiering Tuesday, August 22nd at 10pm*. The series also is executive produced by Hallock Healey Entertainment, producers of Scare Tactics.

Shannen Doherty joins forces with people in relationship peril who want to get out but just can�t seem to do it on their own. She will listen to the plight of her new �client� and put their mates to the test by creating a fictitious situation � caught by a hidden camera - to determine the true character of the relationship. If the test is failed, Doherty then helps put the relationship out of its misery. In each episode, Doherty will then help mastermind the break-up, and be on the scene to deliver the news and resolve the break-up. The goal at the end is for both parties to agree that it�s all for the best and it�s time to move on.

�Shannen Doherty belongs on Oxygen � she is the ideal addition to our roster of funny and fascinating women,� said Debby Beece, Oxygen�s President of Programming and Marketing. �We love that Shannen is honest and willing to tell it like it is, two qualities that are perfectly suited to help good people get out of bad situations.�

Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty is executive produced by Shannen Doherty and Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey for Hallock Healey Entertainment, who�s credits include Scare Tactics, Spy TV and 25 Million Dollar Hoax. For Oxygen, it is being overseen by Aaron Meyerson, Senior VP of Development and Production, and Kristen Connolly Vadas, VP of West Coast Development.
