Book Description
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.

The Manor
People are always asking about my parents' mansion, which they called the "Manor," but I don't really spend much time talking about it in sTORI Telling because I didn't grow up there. After demolishing Bing Crosby's former estate in Holmby Hills, a fancy neighborhood in west L.A., they spent six years building the Manor. It's about 46,000 square feet (slightly over an acre) and has 123 rooms. Not that I counted or measured. I got those figures from the press, just like everyone else.

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

5 out of 5 stars Stori Telling is great!   September 5, 2008
This book is really a great read. It will really make you look at your own relationships and reevaluate them.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book   September 5, 2008
I couldn't wait to read this book. I had heard so much from watching Tori on Oxygen. I wish it had been longer, and a little more detail, but then again I suppose it would have made the book 1,000+ pages. The chapters about how her and Dean met were awesome and really felt like a fairy tale. This was definately a great book for any Tori fan!


5 out of 5 stars fantastic book   September 5, 2008
i thought this book was great. usually i'm just a magazine, tabloid girl, this book kept me reading and finished it within a week. probably would have finished it sooner if i didn't need sleep and go to work. i was never really a fan of tori spelling thinking what everyone else thinks...she's a spoiled rich girl...read the book and she'll explain otherwise.


5 out of 5 stars Loved it!!   September 5, 2008
I recently started watching her show on tv so I decided to purchase this. I am so glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed reading it. She seems so down to earth and has problems just like everyone else. I am now a Tori fan and I am looking forward to her next book.


5 out of 5 stars A HIT!!!!!!   September 5, 2008
In order for me to get this book, I had to special order it from Barnes and Noble. I could't put it down. It was great and funny. After watching her shows each week, I can picture her saying everything in the book as it happened. Tori, if you read this, write another one. Your life is interesting and funny. I love the way that Dean treats you; a Cinderella Story. Your Dad would be proud of you. I read it in two days. I look forward to reading another one you publish. Your video of you and Dean singing was hysterical and I mean that in a nice way.
Anyone feeling depressed needs to read this book. It is funny and very descriptive.
You are blessed,
Debbie
