American actress Tori Spelling has a reality TV show, a children’s clothing line, and two autobiographical books to her name, and now she is branching out into a new area: children’s literature. Simon & Schuster said its Aladdin imprint is to publish Spelling’s first children’s book called “Presenting … Tallulah” in September this year. Spelling, whose acting credits include TV show “Beverly Hills 90210,” has already written an autobiography “sTORI Telling” and follow-up book “Mommywood” about being a Hollywood mother of young children. Her third adult book, tentatively titled “Uncharted terriTORI,” is due to go on sale in June. Aladdin said “Presenting … Tallulah,” illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton, tells the story of a young girl who just wants to be herself. “I love reading to my kids. It’s our special time together. That and my passion for story telling inspired me to write a children’s book of my own to read to them and children everywhere,” said Spelling, 36, in a statement. Spelling, the daughter of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling, and her second husband Dean McDermott, who have two children, are filming the fourth season of their reality TV series, “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.” From ABC News |

Tori Spelling is Busy Juggling Motherhood, a Reality Show and Work on a New Book Tori Spelling is one of those celebrities that people either love or hate. While she’s been pegged in the past as a spoiled princess (her dad, the legendary Aaron Spelling, was one of the biggest television producers in history), she’s also managed to establish a successful career as an actress, author, and entrepreneur (she has a jewelry collection on HSN as well as a children’s clothing line, Little Maven). Tabloid fodder for most of her life, Spelling has been in the spotlight for things out of her control (like living in the biggest house in California as a teen) to things well in her control (like her affair with current husband, Dean McDermott, and her well publicized estrangement from her mother, Candy). Still, Spelling has managed to keep her fans happy, by letting them into her life via an Oxygen reality show Tori and Dean Home Sweet Hollywood and by penning books about her personal life. Now she’s also keeping herself happy too. Tori and Dean Road Trip Fans of Spelling’s hit Oxygen reality show, Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, are no doubt excited for the new season to start up this spring. Last fall, USA Today reported that Tori and Dean would go on a cross country road trip for the new season of their show. Without the luxuries of her Hollywood home, it’s anyone’s guess how Tori will do. Tori’s New Book Spellings’ previous books, sTori Telling and Mommywood, were both New York Times bestsellers. Now fans can look forward to her latest book, unchartered terriTORI. The book is slated for release on June 15, 2010. Based on the book’s product description, it looks to be a collection of essays about Spelling’s life. Family Matters: Resolved? Spelling’s widely publicized estrangement from her mom, Candy, made it seem like the duo’s differences were practically irreconcilable. The rift allegedly started after Aaron Spelling died in 2006, although in her books Tori details an often- difficult relationship with her mom throughout her life. But in December, People Magazine reported that Tori and Candy’s relationship was on the mend. So will Candy Spelling appear on the new season of Tori and Dean? That remains to be seen, but after the scathing letter she sent to TMZ after last season’s finale, it still seems pretty unlikely. |

Oxygen has announced Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood’s third season, the fifth overall edition of its Tori & Dean reality series starring Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott, will premiere Monday, April 5 at 10PM ET/PT. While Tori & Dean’s first two installments — dubbed Tori & Dean: Inn Love — followed the couple as they ran Chateau La Rue, a leased bed-and-breakfast in Fallbrook, CA, the last two editions of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood has followed the couple as they returned to Tinseltown to make a new home with their two young children.
Oxygen renewed Tori & Dean for a fifth season last October after Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood’s second-season was the network’s most-watched season ever among total viewers and in the Adults 18-49 and Women 18-49 demographics. |
