Shannen Doherty, host of the Sci Fi Channel's hit reality series Scare Tactics, graces the cover of Playboy's December issue and is featured inside in a sultry 10-page nude pictorial (issue on newsstands Friday, October 24).

The former Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed star, who reportedly just landed the lead in a yet-to-be-titled sitcom by NBC-based production company Pariah TV, describes herself as a shy and modest person who takes tabloid headlines in stride. But she isn't making apologies for her hard-partying, hell-raising ways of days past.

"I wish I had conducted myself better on occasion and been more private, but I would rather live my life to the fullest than constantly conduct myself in a certain way to gain approval from others," Doherty tells December Playboy. "I've always been outspoken about my opinions, and there's something to be said for having the courage to just live your life. I have regrets but no apologies."

Doherty last appeared on the cover of Playboy's March 1994 issue and was featured inside as part of photographer Michel Comte's "Safe Sex, Great Sex" photo essay with 14 other celebrities including Mariel Hemingway, Mimi Rogers and Helena Christiansen.
