Tori Spelling reveals the secret to her success — talk it out!

In a relationship, “I think communication is the key,” Tori says. “I know that sounds like a boring tip, but it’s so true! You forget to communicate … I think it’s very important to always make eye contact, to make physical contact .. to keep the open dialogue going.”

She’s also a party girl! Inviting guests to splash around in her pool, she says, “I love to throw parties for my kids, so I’m having all my friends over — and all their kids over — for an end of summer back to school party.” Co-sponsor Sony NEX Cameras provided their newest shooter to record the event with snapshots and video.

“I know most parents are really excited when their kids go back to school, but I’m really sad,” the Hollywood mom says. Over the summer, she and hubby Dean McDermott have taken their two children on weekend trips and getaways, as well as making progress poolside.

Liam and Stella have been working really hard on their backstrokes. Let me just tell you, they’re really good swimmers.” she says proudly.

Tori Spelling is famous for her work in front of the camera, acting in Beverly Hills 90210 and starring in her own reality TV show.

But the mother of two decided to cross over at the weekend and have a go behind the camera for a change.

Spelling turned photographer for the day, snapping photos of friends and family as she hosted the Sony Nexus Cameras Back To School BBQ in Los Angeles.

37-year-old Spelling wielded the camera like a pro, posing her subjects and trying all angles in the quest for the perfect picture.

She had plenty of cute subject material to experiment with – taking snaps of her baby Godchild, Simone Lynn Masterson-Horn, who was wearing a large pair of pink sunglasses to add to the comedy value, and her own daughter, Stella.

The little two-year-old posed happily for her mother, dressed in a pink polka dot swimsuit and yellow inflatable armbands, half-eaten ice-cream in hand.

Like any great artist before her, Spelling sought out the help of a muse to add to her creative spirit.

In the reality star’s case she chose husband Dean McDermott – proudly showing off her day’s work to him as he cradled their Godchild who was taking a well deserved break from her modelling duties.

Spelling grew up as a fully fledged member of Hollywood royalty.

Her father was Aaron Spelling, the hugely successful and mega-wealthy TV producer that created hit after hit show, including Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty and Starsky and Hutch.

As a child Tori got plenty of on-camera experience, guesting on shows such as Love Boat, T.J. Hooker and Saved By The Bell.

She shot to fame though portraying virtuous Donna Martin on her father’s hit show, Beverly Hills 90210.

Tori has also starred in two different reality TV shows – So NoTORIous and Tori and Dean: Inn Love.

The later followed Tori and her second husband, Dean McDermott as they endeavoured to run a bed and breakfast in Fallbrook, California.

Spelling is also an author, having written and published three books.

She released her first autobiography in March 2008, titled sTori Telling, following up with Mommywood in April 2009 and a third book this year called Unchartered TerriTORI.

She says of her writing experience: ‘I love sharing my stories and experiences with people and connecting to them on both a humorous and emotional level.’

Last week, Tori and Dean were photographed in support of the NOH8 campaign and I have just added 2 photos from the shoot!

Between filming a reality show and embarking on a nationwide book tour, Tori Spelling says it can be hard to balance her career with her home life.

“I’m still working on trying to balance it all, and it’s a struggle I deal with every single day. I want to do it all!” Spelling, 37, tells UsMagazine.com. “I’m passionate about everything in my life. Obviously my family and my kids are my priority. I want to be that stay-at-home mom, but I want to build an empire at the same time.”

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum is quick to admit that raising Liam, 3, and Stella, 2, has sometimes taken a toll on her marriage to Dean McDermott.

“Four years into a marriage, we never thought we’d be having these issues and having problems,” she says. “But you never think ahead what it’s like to have kids, and a lot of our issues came from different view points on parenting.”

So how do the two parents find a compromise?

“We had communication breakdown, but we’ve worked through that. We’re still working on stuff, but I think relationships are a work in progress,” Spelling tells Us. “It all takes work, but if you love that person, you’re willing to do the work.”

And when things do get rough, Spelling says she only has to look at her children to regain her perspective.

“They’re best friends. They do everything together,” she gushes. “Stella’s new thing is that she sings ‘Single Ladies’ and dances to it. No joke, she shakes her hips! And people are like, ‘Is that normal? She watches Beyonce?’ And I’m like, ‘No, she watches Chipmunks: The Squeakquel — they do it in that!’”

Tori Spelling says husband Dean McDermott isn’t the only one recovering from his motorcycle accident.

Since McDermott, 43, has been home from the hospital, children Liam, 3, and Stella, 2, are having to adjust to seeing their injured father, who is healing from a punctured lung.

“It’s hard,” Spelling, 37, told PEOPLE at Dairy Queen’s Turn Blizzards Into Smiles event Friday in Los Angeles. “It’s hard because Liam’s a daddy’s boy, so he wants Dean to pick him up and we have to explain that daddy’s sick, that he’s hurt, so he can’t get up.”

Spelling also says there’s no way to predict how long before her husband is back to normal until he begins rehab. “[Dean] gets up for a short walk every day, but it’s hard for him.”

From People

“The Insider” has the latest on Tori Spelling’s husband, Dean McDermott, after news of his hospitilization following a dirt bike accident last week.

“The Insider” has learned that McDermott has been released from the hospital.

On Monday, McDermott tweeted, “I’m healing slowly, I’ll be doing rehab for a while I messed a few things up when I crashed.”

McDermott, 43, had been hospitalized with a punctured, collapsed lung last week. Earlier this year, McDermott was also in a motorcycle accident in which he fractured his shoulder.

Today, Tori tweeted, “We R SO happy tht @deanracer is finally home from hospital! The kids and I picked him up this afternoon. We R all in bed now while he rests.”

McDermott and Spelling have a reality show on Oxygen called “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” and Spelling’s book uncharted terriTORI has just been released.

From The Insider

Perhaps Dean McDermott should change his Deanracer Twitter name…to just Dean.

The reality-TV dad is out of ICU after a motorcycle accident landed him in the hospital with serious injuries earlier this week. But he’s not in the clear just yet.

Nevertheless, wife Tori Spelling headed to Twitter Friday to announce the good news of her dirt-bike-loving hubby’s release from intensive care.

“Kids and I are about to go see @deanracer,” Spelling tweeted. “He’s been moved from ICU to a regular room! Yay! I’ll tell him everyone sends their love.”

While McDermott still remains in the hospital, his appetite seems to be back to normal, in spite of his injuries.

“I said to @deanracer “Babe do u want anything?” He said “Oreo McFlurry!” So his spirits are up despite all the pain,” Spelling wrote.

McDermott has also been keeping fans abreast of his recovery progress.

“It was a freak accident,” McDermott tweeted about the incident. “We still can’t figure out what happened. Nonetheless, I have a collapsed lung and bad bruising on my right side. Oh, and 3 stitches in my right butt cheek where a stone got imbedded. Let’s just say, I won’t be dirt biking anymore.”
