This should put those troubled-marriage rumors to rest.
While attending Juno Baby’s “All For One” Bus Tour, supermom Tori Spelling dished to reporters that despite her busy schedule, she and husband Dean McDermott would like to add more children to their Home Sweet Hollywood clan. Tori told reporters:
“We would like a third. Probably get these two a litle more self-sufficient and then try!”
Tori’s daugher, Stella, just celebrated her second birthday and is quite the junior fashionista, according to her mom…
“She’s very into fashion. She now insists on her nails being painted, at age 2. She’s into makeup, purses, everything.”
When asked if Tori had any vacations planned for the summer, she told reporters:
“Work! We just started a new show called Tori and Dean Weddings so we will be filming that all summer. Maybe a little time by the beach, hopefully!”
Here’s hoping the Spelling-McDermott family can find time for work and play!

You’d think that Tori Spelling showing up three hours late to her own book release party was the ultimate snub.
But don’t judge this tell-all by its cover.
Spelling had spent the last four hours signing autographs at a local Borders store, and insisted on talking with every person in line and posing for snapshots.
An entrepreneur, Spelling wears many (presumably stylish) hats. She and her husband, actor Dean McDermott — along with the couple’s children Liam, 3, and Stella, 2 — star in their own reality TV show, “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.” Spelling also has her own jewelry line, designs children’s clothing, and is a working actress, spokeswoman and author.
“The great thing about what I do is I only take on work and businesses that are organic to me and I’m passionate about. It’s kind of a blend of my life because at some point, my life became my business, and my business is my life … which is a hard balance to strike,” Spelling said.
In her latest book, “uncharted terriTORI,” Spelling tackles eating disorder rumors (she says she had H1N1), the truth about her marriage, her friendships (or lack thereof) with her former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ co-stars, motherhood and the thawing of her icy relationship with her own mother.
Spelling was eager to set the record straight about all talk of anorexia. “I address all of my health issues in the book,” she told CNN. “And I think it’s really irresponsible to label someone with an eating disorder. I pride myself on being an inspiration to women out there, and I want them to have a healthy body image. I have a daughter of my own, so I think they should really do research and get their facts straight.”
Regarding her marriage, Spelling says, “Dean and I haven’t hid the fact that we’ve had a rough year.” She attributes what she refers to as the couple’s “four-year crossroads” to a communications breakdown, differing opinions on parenting and McDermott’s opposition to her own self-proclaimed “workaholic tendencies.”
In her book, Spelling said she had come to terms with the fact that, like all couples, she and McDermott were in an “ebb” phase, and that things weren’t always going to “flow.” She wrote: “If someone says they’re in a perfect relationship — they’re lying. And I was the girl who went into it wanting the perfect relationship.”
Although the internet is rampant with stories about Spelling receiving the silent treatment from the old “90210″ gang, she was asked about the possibility of her character, Donna Martin, returning to the small screen on the new “90210.” “You know what,” Spelling told CNN. “I totally would, but they haven’t called me. For the fans, I would.”
Spelling, famous among her friends for throwing elaborate parties, is currently shooting a new reality show with the Oxygen network. “We’re currently filming ‘Tori & Dean: Weddings,’ ” she says, “which is really amazing because everyone knows I love planning a party, and I specifically love planning a wedding and I’m all about love. Dean and I have been working on our relationship this year and kind of getting back to us. And really, what’s better than love and a party? So there you have the perfect wedding. And we have this great, unbelievable opportunity to plan people’s dream weddings and kind of navigate young couples through the process of getting married — what their relationship is now and what they can look forward to and guide them through that.”
When asked about the return of “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” which just wrapped up its fourth season, Spelling told CNN, “No official pickup has been announced, but if the fans bring us back, I think there’s a very good chance. The fans are worried that this is a replacement, but we plan on doing both shows, so the great thing about that is they’ll get two sets of ‘Tori & Dean’ two times a year instead of one set one time a year.”
Spelling’s next writing project is a children’s book, due in September. “I am really excited about that,” she told CNN. “I love writing, it’s a passion of mine and I love my kids, and I really wanted to do a children’s book. I’m working with my same publishers, Simon and Schuster, and when they told me they wanted to do a children’s book, and I was like, ‘Yes! I am so in!’ So I dedicated this book to Liam and Stella — it’s called ‘Presenting … Tallulah,’ and it’s about a little girl standing up for who she is and believing in herself.”
Spelling also shared an anecdote about Stella: “Her new thing is she sings ‘Single Ladies’ and she dances to it. No joke, she shakes her hips!” Spelling says the little girl didn’t learn it from her. “She watched ‘Chipmunks: The Squeakquel’. They do it in that!”

It’s a girl for the Guncles!
Bill Horn and Scout Masterson, Tori Spelling’s dear friends and regulars on her reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, have welcomed daughter Simone Lynn Masterson-Horn, who was born last week weighing 6 lbs., 2 oz. and measuring 18 inches long.
Simone is the first child for the couple, whom Spelling lovingly refers to as “Gay Uncles” to Liam, 3, and Stella, 2, her kids with husband Dean McDermott.
“Dean and I are beyond happy that Scout and Bill’s dreams of becoming parents have come true. Little Simone couldn’t have two better loving and deserving dads,” Spelling tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“Her cousins Liam and Stella are anxiously waiting to meet her. Stella kisses pictures of her that Guncle Billy and Scouty send us.”
Horn, 38, and Masterson, 35, who married in May 2009 at a Palm Springs, Calif., wedding planned by Spelling herself, began the adoption process last year. They declined to reveal details of their experience in order to protect the privacy of Simone and her birth mother.
“We are in awe of Simone and thrilled that our dream of becoming parents has finally come true,” the couple — who just finished taping season five of Oxygen’s Home Sweet Hollywood — tell PEOPLE. “From the moment we saw her we instantly fell in love — she has us wrapped around her little fingers.”
The infant already has a nickname: “Nugget” or “Nugget of Love,” says Horn. “I sing Sade’s ‘Soldier of Love’ to her and replace the word ‘soldier’ with ‘nugget.’ Yup — she’s already embarrassed by me.”
And how did they choose her real name? “We found it in a baby name book under a list of ‘Activist Names,’” says Horn. “We liked that the name denotes a strong woman. Plus we love Nina Simone.”

Don’t expect there to be any play-dates between Tiffani Thiessen’s newborn daughter and the kids of her former 90210 costar Tori Spelling.
“She doesn’t talk to me anymore,” Spelling said of Thiessen on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday, while promoting her latest book Uncharted TerriTORI.
In fact, Spelling, 37, says with the exception of Jennie Garth, she is not in touch with any of her former 90210 pals.
“All my cast members hate me,” she says. “People say, ‘Do you mean during 90210?’ I say, ‘No, we were great friends during 90210. We were friends after 90210.’ They all came to my first wedding.”
But according to Spelling it all changed after she got remarried. “All of a sudden I marry Dean [McDermott], and I don’t know what happened,” she tells Seacrest. “I lost all my cast members.”
For the record, Seacrest tells Spelling that Thiessen “never said anything bad about you – I think she likes you a lot.”
Of the friend drama, Spelling adds, “It’s my perception, and nonetheless, it’s a fun story.”

Tori Spelling is a trooper. After an unexpected crowd at her book signing delayed her by three hours, she managed to change dresses in the back of her limo and still make it to her press event at New York City’s High Bar looking flawless.
“I’m wearing Milly, shoes by Christian Louboutin,” she told StyleList cheerfully of her gold-flecked purple cocktail dress and gold pumps. (She paired the same shoes with a classic yellow Diane von Furstenberg number for the signing.)
All the fuss is about “Uncharted TerriTORI,” her third book, which is already a smash success after arriving in stores midweek. (“It’s outselling her second book after just two days,” a positively giddy Simon & Schuster publisher gushed to StyleList over rooftop cocktails.)
Spelling has bounced back after a number of health scares, including food poisoning this week that caused her to miss a slot co-hosting “The View.” And she delayed her “Today” show appearance — in which she discussed contracting swine flu and denied having an eating disorder — by one day,
“This book goes to a much deeper level of me. I find this to be a very inspirational book,” Spelling said. “I know [the readers are] used to my funny stories, and they’re all in there, like when I got called in to jury duty. I showed up and everyone was staring, like, ‘What is she doing here?’”
A friendly clerk, who was obliged to read the potential jurors’ names aloud, told Spelling she’d announce her as “Victoria Spellman” to keep the actress incognito.
“I went back to my seat and I thought, ‘Oh crap! She’s going to say ‘Victoria Spellman’ and people are going to say, ‘Oh God, so you had that name and you had to change it for acting purposes?’” (When she received the numbered tag she had to wear pinned to her shirt for the rest of the afternoon, of course she was assigned 69.)
Spelling, a rushed mother of two, laughed when StyleList asked about her daily beauty regime.
“Literally, I feel like I’m pressed for time, [so I ask] what’s going to make me pop and feel good about myself?” she said. “I curl my eyelashes, I put on mascara, and I put on colored gloss, and I’m out of the house!”
Spelling, along with her husband Dean McDermott and their children Stella and Liam, can be seen on the Oxygen network show “Tori & Dean.”

Tori Spelling grew-up on television, and while her two young children are currently doing the same thing on her Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood reality series, she sees it as a positive.
“The reality show has been a blessing for us. It not only shows people how relatable we are, but we also get to stay together as a family — and that’s what is most important. They’re two and three, they’re in a comfortable zone, it’s all family, we have a very small crew,” said Spelling during a Wednesday appearance on NBC’s Today.
“When they get old enough, if they don’t want to be a part of it, the show’s done. I tell them that all the time.”
Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood’s third season recently-concluded its broadcast run on Oxygen but the former Beverly Hills 90210 star has stayed busy promoting her new book — “Uncharted Territori.”
“I thought, ‘Oh, it will just be a book about my new life now evolving, motherhood,’” she said on Today.
“Then actually as I was writing, things started to unfold — my health, reconciliation with my mom, my marriage was on the rocks. So all these things started coming out, and I was like, ‘Wow. I really am in uncharted territory.’”
Spelling’s health had been a hot topic of conversation, as tabloids alleged she was unhealthy and weighed less than 100 pounds. Spelling subsequently denied the rumors via Twitter and explained on Today why she felt it was important to do so.
“I feel like at this point in my life, I’m a role model for a lot of women out there, and I have a daughter of my own,” she said. “So being labeled as too thin, having an eating disorder, it’s definitely something I want to address because it’s not what’s going on.”
“Do you have an eating disorder?” asked Today’s Ann Curry.
“I do not,” replied Spelling. “But I’m labeled it all the time. I think people don’t understand how much it hurts. They understand that it hurts to call people overweight, but when you call someone underweight it’s just as horrible. It really knocks down your self confidence.”
Spelling also recently reconciled with her mom, and she attributed it to her children.
“It’s going great. You really realize when you have kids how important family is. They changed everything,” explained Spelling. “We came to the point where we thought the past is the past, let’s move forward for their sake — and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done.”
Spelling and husband Dean McDermott renewed their wedding vows last month in a ceremony at a private home overlooking Beverly Hills.
The renewal came after commercials promoting the premiere of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood showed Spelling stating that she felt McDermott had become “more and more unhappy and angry” and that she missed the way he used to be.
The clip led to talk that the couple was on the verge of divorcing, which Spelling subsequently denied.
“It was a tough year,” Spelling told Curry.
“We never discussed parenting issues, then all of a sudden you have two kids in a short amount of time and you realize you have different views on how to raise them. That’s really where our breakdown of communication started to happen. So it was a hard year, we got back on track, and we really wanted it to be like a rebirth, so we renewed.”

Tori Spelling is convinced her long-time estrangement from her mother was prolonged by the publicity surrounding the feud, insisting the rift could have been healed sooner if they hadn’t made their dispute public.
The reality TV star and her mom, Candy, spent three years apart following a disagreement around the death of TV mogul Aaron Spelling — the family patriarch — in 2006.
The bitter feud was played out in the press as both women spoke out about their situation.
The Spellings finally put the spat behind them last year, rebuilding their broken relationship for the sake of Tori’s children.
And the former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star is adamant they could have worked out their problems earlier if they had kept their disagreement private.
She tells “Access Hollywood,” “It was the whole realization of ‘What happened between us?’ and, ‘Was there really anything major?’ Or, ‘Did the press really heighten it to a level where we thought we couldn’t go back?’
“That was a huge turning point for me when I realized I think that’s what happened. … It really was about kind of saying, ‘The past is the past. This is about my kids, her grandkids. It’s all about Liam and Stella.’ Because of that we have been able to move forward as a family and we’re all together and it’s been great.”
