Tori Spelling is back in her latest tell-all book with lots of tantalizing scoop about her glamorous Hollywood lifestyle. Unlike her first go-around which analyzed every detail of her torrid relationship with her mother Candy; this installment focuses more on her latest role as a new mother. With a husband plus two small children, Tori must learn how to keep her private life and the demands of stardom in balance.
Being part of the Spelling Dynasty made having a normal childhood virtually impossible. So, Tori and husband Dean set out on a mission to find the perfect location to raise their young family. Surprisingly, it's not with their fellow Hollywood Starlets. Instead, they move into an upper middleclass neighborhood complete with Fourth of July parties and nosey neighbors. Of course, despite their best intentions, the television cameras from their reality show plus the paparazzi lurking in their bushes do little to help them blend in with their new-found friends.
From the get-go, Tori knew firsthand that motherhood would be no easy job. From dirty diapers to Red Carpet temper tantrums, Tori has her work cut out for her. Not to mention, Dean just happens to be the apple of their son's eye. Who would have thought that jealousy over their own child would come into play? Luckily, the two learn to accept their son's fickle expressions of love and put their relationship back on track.
With the news of another child entering their love nest, the threesome embraces the addition of a precious baby girl. Of course, Tori laments over the possibility of her repeating her mother's errant ways. With the help of Dean, she welcomes the baby into the fold with hilarious zany adventures only befitting to the delightful Tori herself.
MOMMYWOOD is an insider's peek into the comical life of a straight-talking actress who put her riches aside to find the true meaning of life with the man of her dreams. From hilarious anecdotes to heartwarming stories of love, Tori Spelling tells it like it is in her delightful second memoir worth every last cent.
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.
