Welcome to Los Angeles, birthplace and residence of Tori Spelling.
It's not every Hollywood starlet whose name greets you on a Virgin
Airways flight into la-la land. But Tori Spelling has come to
accept that her life is a spectacle. Her name is her brand, and
business is booming. Too bad when your job is to be yourself, you
can't exactly take a break.
Tori finally has everything she thought she wanted--a loving family
and a successful career--but trying to live a normal life in
Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit, attitude,
and humor that fans have come to love, the "New York Times
"bestselling author of "sTORI telling "and "Mommywood "is back with
more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work,
marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras.
Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty, stalking
herself on Twitter, discovering her former "90210 "castmates' "I
Hate Tori" club, contracting swine flu, and contacting Farrah
Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers, she struggles to find
balance ("Stars, they're just like us ")--only most women don't
have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She
talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media
scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott, her
controversial relationship with Dean's ex-wife, and her unfolding
reconciliation with her mother.
Having it all isn't always easy--especially when you're a
perfectionist--but with the help of her unconventional family and
friends, an underwear-clad spiritual cleansing or two, and faith in
herself, she's learning to find her happy ending. Because when
you're Tori Spelling, every day brings "uncharted terriTORI."
***
Just when you thought sTORI time was over, the beloved Hollywood
starlet has so much more to say.
***
"My life has changed dramatically in the past several years. I
married Dean; we moved several times; we had two children; we
created a show that has gone into its fifth season on the air. I
have love. I have a family. I have a home. I have work. It's all I
ever wished for. But trying to be a perfect wife, mother, and
mini-mogul has its challenges, especially if, like me, you want to
be perfect at all of them at the same time." --from "uncharted

IF YOU THOUGHT TINSELTOWN WAS TOUGH . . .
Tori Spelling might have grown up with everything a girl could wish
for, but these days she's just another suburban working mom . . .
whose toddler regularly recognizes her in the pages of "US Weekly."
Welcome to "Mommywood," where the stars are two feet tall and your
neighbors know who you are before you move in.
Like most parents, Tori wants her children to have the one thing
she didn't have as a kid--a normal family. On their hit Oxygen
reality show, "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," the starlet
and her husband Dean McDermott regularly wrestle dirty diapers,
host the neighborhood block party, and tackle temper tantrums on
the red carpet. But when the cameras aren't rolling, Tori's still
having awkward run-ins with a former "90210 "costar at a laser tag
birthday party, scooping rogue poo out of the kiddie pool on a
resort vacation, and racing to win back her pre-baby body before
the media starts calling her fat. For all her suburban fantasies,
Tori Spelling is no June Cleaver.
With the same down-to-earth wit that made her entertaining memoir
"sTORI telling "a #1 "New York Times "bestseller, Tori tells the
hilarious and humbling stories of life as a mom in the limelight,
from learning to be the kind of parent her own mother never was to
revealing what it's like to raise a family while everyone is
watching. "Mommywood "is an irresistible snapshot of celebrity
parenthood that you won't get from the paparazzi.
THE REALITY BEHIND REALITY TV--HOLLYWOOD'S FAVORITE MOM-STAR TELLS
IT LIKE IT IS
Tori Spelling is the first to admit that the "reality" behind her
popular television show, "Tori & Dean, "isn't always real. Not
even "Star Magazine "could invent the true chaos that happens
behind the scenes. Luckily, Tori is famously honest and
self-deprecatingly funny when it comes to her personal life. She's
always "Spelling It Like It Is..."
Life is never boring at Tori's house, but since her "New York Times
"bestselling memoirs "sTORI Telling, Mommywood, "and "Uncharted
terriTORI, "things have been especially unpredictable: Finding out
she was pregnant with her third baby after nearly vomiting live on
the Home Shopping Network; trying to hide her fourth pregnancy so
soon after giving birth (as her stylist said, "who would be that
crazy?"); being rescued from a paparazzo by a mom lynch mob;
stalking her celebrity neighbor; and allowing cameras to film every
personal detail of her life--from the most challenging time in her
marriage to the only time in six years when she really felt as
though those cameras invaded her privacy.
Tori shares these stories and many more with the usual humor,
candor, and down-to-earth charm that her fans love. She also writes
openly about her biggest challenges: the terrifying health problems
surrounding her high-risk pregnancy with youngest son Finn, her
guilt over missing baby Hattie's early months because she was in
the hospital on bed rest, her struggles (and failures) to live
within her means after growing up in opulence, discovering how much
she has in common with her late mega-producer father, Aaron
Spelling, and falling in love with Dean all over again (hint: it
didn't happen at their vow renewal ceremony).
After years of intimately revealing her everyday antics onscreen,
Tori's life is still full of surprises. Slowing down long enough to
enjoy them? Now that's another sTORI.
