First Look: Tori Spelling, ‘Mommywood’
Also, see the coverart for Candy Spelling's new book 'Tales from Candyland'

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.
