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.
