First Look: Tori Spelling, ‘Mommywood’
After releasing her fairly successful first goss-filled memoir sTori Telling last year (a book that managed to piss off half of Hollywood), Tori Spelling is gettin’ ready to release a follow-up goss-filled memoir this Spring (which is prolly intent on pissing off the other half of Hollywood). Here is our first look at the cover artwork for Tori’s new book Mommywood which is due out this April:
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tori’s last tome sTori Telling had something to do with pissing off Shannen Doherty which might’ve had something to do with Tori getting axed from the early eps of 90210 … but we’re in a new year, with a new book (that no one has read yet) and that’s all water under the bridge … for now. This new book is, apparently, more focused on Tori’s life as a mother … which may not be as interesting as her first book … but my guess is that she’ll throw in some juicy tidbits this time around — you know, for selling points.
After the jump, check out the cover art for Candy Spelling’s (Tori’s estranged mother) book Tales from Candyland …
Carole Gene Marer spent her girlhood dreaming of meeting Rock Hudson, but when she finally had the chance—on her second date with her future husband, television mogul Aaron Spelling—she was so shy she hid all night in the powder room. How Candy morphed from that quiet, insecure girl into a seemingly-confident, stylish trophy wife, mistress of the largest house in Los Angeles (70,000 square feet when you count the attic) is at the heart ofStories from Candyland. The life Candy created for her family—her husband and children Tori and Randy—was fabulous, over-the-top, and often magical. So what if California Christmases don’t come with snow? Let’s make some on the tennis court! How do we take a cross-country family vacation with a dad who doesn’t fly? By private train car, of course (with an extra for the 52 pieces of luggage). The kids want to dress up for Halloween? No problem, why not call in Nolan Miller to design their costumes? Candy had a hand in some of the most beloved television shows of all time (she once stopped production on “Dynasty” because Krystle Carrington’s engagement ring was not spectacular enough), has entertained half of Hollywood in epic fashion, and lives an enviable life. But under all the fun and showmanship lies a more interesting character, still wrestling with some of the insecurities of her ingénue self. Oprah threw her into a major panic with a discussion of hoarding. A lifelong humming habit evolved as a unique coping mechanism. And there’s nothing like being defined as, “well, you know, complicated” by your daughter on television and in her own book. Stories from Candyland sparkles with glamour and grand gestures. But it also satisfies with some more intimate Candy concerns: why being a perfect wife and mother was so important to her, how cooking and cleaning can keep the home fires burning, why collections matter, and whether dogs are better judges of people than people are. Visit Candyland in these pages and get a glimpse of a generous, glittering world revealing many of its surprising (and funny?) secrets for the first time.
As you may know, Candy Spelling was pretty pissed when she read the things her daughter had to say about her in her book … my guess is that there will be some payback in Tales from Candyland. Let the memoir battle royale commence … we’ve already read what Tori has to say, I’m actually very intrigued to read what Candy has to say next.

I just have an issue with the way Tori’s skirt billows out with that kid right there..It looks like, if he looks up, he’ll see her bajanga!

Does anyone actually care about Tori Spelling? Honestly!
February 7th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
she looks way too dang skinny
February 7th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
I also thought “i hope that poor kid doesn’t look up”…. ewwwww…. *IT* might be prettier than her face though….. Man, how can anyone be SO repulsive?? uhg.
February 7th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Sally, apparently a lot of people care as her first book rose to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover non-fiction…

I don’t know why people hate on Tori so much. If anyone insulting her actually read her book you’d know it was quite entertaining. I’d love to see what half of the people saying she’s ugly or too skinny look like themselves.

I used to be meh about Tori Spelling, but she’s got an awesome sense of humor about herself. Its hard not to like someone thats cracking jokes about herself all the time. She’s taken a page of out of the Shatner playbook “People make fun of me and say I have no talent? Well, I’ll just say it first and say it funnier”

Tori looks like a Bobblehead in that pic…you know, the ones you would buy at a baseball game. I like Tori, a lot. Schmee is right. She can make fun of herself and seems down to earth. Not like that other socialte slut!

hmm I can’t believe trent didn’t comment on how dreadfully thin she looks. I understand if she wants to lose the baby weight but she doesn’t look healthy :(

If you took the time to read the book(Tori’s), you would find it is full of interesting, funny, and sometimes sad parts. Tori may have had all kinds of things growing up, but in a lot of ways her life was just as dysfunctional as everyone elses. I don’t understand why people don’t like her. She seems like a really funny, down to earth person, in her book, and her show.

are the paparazzi at the window getting a peak at her privates? maybe she isnt wearing panties…. seems a very inappropriate placing for her little boy too. mommywood hollywood style must be sooooo rough, she didnt ask to be born a spelling, but she sure knows how to rub it all in our faces… boring.

I read sTori Telling and I liked it. It was really entertaining. I’ll probably get Mommywood too.
February 8th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Shes lame. But I did see her out in hollywood the other day. Check out this pic… she looks so skinny!

I love Tori, but I have to agree with Kendra. I get that she’s trying to portray some modern, sexy Donna Reid character, but I don’t know why she settled on a shot that makes it seem like she’s about to sit on her own kid. It’s rather vulgar.

Even though she’s uglier than a bulldog’s ass, I don’t think she’s too skinny. I guess it’s because I’m naturally small person (size 4/5, NOT a zero)… So, “Too skinny” to me, is what Nicole Richie looked like before she got pregs, and what Amy Winehouse looked like before her vacay… Some people are just smaller… and if they gain weight, it may not even go in the “right” spots….. and if they lose 5 pounds, they look malnourished…
February 8th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
It makes me wonder how big these ppl are, when they say someone looks too skinny….. I have a friend who’s about 200lbs, who always complains about ’skinny’ people……
February 8th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
there’s muscle tone in her arms… if she was too skinny, her arms would look like skelton bones
February 14th, 2009 at 7:10 am
I have to agree I think she looks way too skinny! I would give my first born (ha now that he 15yr old) to know how the hell ahe can loose that much weight REVEAL please

I think when she’s too thin (like now) it makes her head and face disproportionate to the rest of her. I’m sure she’s a nice lady…Her kids are adorable! Good luck Tori!
