1) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. This was wonderful! I couldn´t put it down! She´s so real and down to earth.¤

2) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. This was a truly endearing book. I´ve never been a huge Tori Spelling fan, but after watching a few episodes of Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood on Oxygen, I quickly changed camps. Sometimes brutally honest and down to earth, this book had me giggling and crying. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting!

Newly formed Tori fan,

3) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. She did an amazing job telling her story in a funny & real way. There is no flowery cover ups or false glitter to her history. She keeps you so interested you won´t want to put the book down. I finished it in less then two days & know I´m going to read it again I enjoyed it so much. Great job Tori!¤

4) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. I LOVED reading this book! Interestingly enough, I wasn´t even a Tori Spelling fan when I bought the book. I watched a couple episodes of her on her TV show So noTorious, and thought that Tori sounded so down-to-earth that I bought the book. She really tells the story of her life, and what it was like growing up being Aaron Spelling´s daughter, and the struggles she went through with her mother, and how after her dads death, she felt really lonely. She really seems to be a down to earth person, and my original "spoiled girl" opinion of her really changed after reading the book, and seeing how vulnerable she really felt at times in her life.¤

5) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. I have never been a Tori Spelling fan, although, I do not by any means dislike her at all, I just never really payed her any attention, to me - she was just Donna Martin. I decided to read this book because I had heard that it was actually really good .... and it was on sale! I started to read it and couldnt stop! I´m not sure what made it so interesting to me since i felt indifferent towards Tori, but I just really found her to be pretty genuine, or at least thats how she seems. Her life really was not at all what I thought it may be. I nearly cried at the end, it´s not a sob story, but by this time I felt like I knew her and we were old friends, ha ha. I really enjoyed this a lot and I think others will as well.¤

6) Hardcover Book sTORI Telling by Simon Spotlight. She was television´s most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling´s daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character´s exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened.

sTORI telling is Tori´s chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she´s led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen´s Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.

From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.¤

Anyway, we moved in when I was seventeen and I only lived there for two years. In some ways the house is like a normal house, but everything is on a bigger scale. It has four floors: the basement (which we call the "Lower Level," probably because that´s its designation on the elevator) and the first, second, and third floors. The first floor has a kitchen, a breakfast room, a dining room, an office, a family room, a living room, and a projection room. There´s a grand foyer with sweeping staircases on each side. Oh, and there´s also a guards´ room and the staff dining room. Everyone except fancy guests comes through the service entrance into a hallway with the guards´ room and the kitchen.

The kitchen is gigantic, and my fondest memory of it is from when I was twenty-one and had just moved back in after splitting up with a boyfriend. I came home drunk with some girlfriends, and we pillaged the two double-sized Sub-Zero refrigerators. There was always bulk food in there for the staff. We pulled out a big vat of chicken salad and a tub of peanut dressing, both of which looked like they´d been made for giants. Somewhere in the middle of our feast we decided to have a food fight, and the five of us started flinging food at each other. Soon we were covered in peanut dressing from head to toe and the pristine kitchen was a mess. Then we heard a ding, the elevator doors opened, and there was my mother.

She stared at us in silent disbelief. I said, "We´re going to clean it up!" She just said, "Mmm hmm," and left the room. I felt a surge of love for her in that moment. It took us hours to clean the kitchen, but it was worth it. That moment made it feel, for once, like home. --Tori Spelling
