Product Description
She was television’s most legendary virgin — and, as Aaron Spelling’s daughter, arguably its most legendary 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 regularly clogged — 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 incorrect 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 Like, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her intricate relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her manufacturing accident-prone like life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.
From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new like to her much-publicized — and misunderstood — “disinheritance,” sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enchanting look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.Amazon.com Review

The Manor
People are permanently 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 ex- 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 persons facts from the press, just like everyone else.
Anyway, we stirred 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 larger 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 tree room, a living room, and a projection room. There’s a grand reception area 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 stirred 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 permanently bulk food in there for the staff. We pulled out a huge 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 chose to have a food fight, and the five of us ongoing flinging food at each additional. 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 like 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

Spoiled, miserable girl with marketing savvy writes book complaining she got cars that were too expensive, had parties that were too huge, had parents who were too attentive, had too many toys and too much privilege. Maybe it’s a sTori, but it’s a terrible waste of a book.

I ordered a book that was supposed to be NEW. It was not NEW. The pages were earmarked, there were food stains in the book. Not to mention that it took the book over 3 weeks to get to me. I was not at all pleased with this transaction.

Poor, poor Tori. She wants to be normal, she’s got drama with her mother, 90210 made her a star, she married the incorrect guy the first time, she “stole” the second spouse while he was married to a name else, she’s in debt (maybe not so much now), her daddy didn’t place her enough money in his will, she and the new hubby make a reality show – predictable superficial Hollywood BS written in a cute, whimiscal style that makes it simple to read. Tori writes non-stop about her issues with her mother, not so much about her father. Not worth a buy, unless you want to help her stay out of debt or help fund a shopping bender.

I bought this item for a friend who is an abosulute fan. She was going to buy a groundbreaking new copy from a different website but i told her she’d get a better deal on amazon. The fee was a bit cheeper but when the book was received the corners were bent.
i’m not too pleased because it was my credibility that was tarnished. How can i get a replacement copy?

This book is Tori’s attempt to get sympathy for being poor after her dad died; he only left her a trust fund and not a lump sum like her mother; and her attempt to give herself credibility in Hollywood.
I couldn’t end this book. Tori’s complaints are just nauseating. Complaints about a BMW at 16??? I was riding the public bus until I was 23 and through with college. Having to get a nose job at 16? How about being teased about your imperfections and never being able to get plastic surgery.
Complaints about your fantasy Christmas??? How about having to be told there is no Santa because your family tree couldn’t afford to buy you Christmas presents.
Letter to sTORI: Go do a year of community service at a HOMELESS SHELTER and then write a book about your life. You will then realize what a joke of a book you wrote.
