Welcome to Los Angeles, birthplace and residence of Tori Spelling.
Itâs not every Hollywood starlet whose name greets you on a Virgin Airways flight into la-la land. But Tori Spelling has come to accept that her life is a spectacle. Her name is her brand, and business is booming. Too bad when your job is to be yourself, you canât exactly take a break.
Tori finally has everything she thought she wantedâa loving family and a successful careerâbut trying to live a normal life in Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit, attitude, and humor that fans have come to love, the New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling and Mommywood is back with more hilarious, heartwarming, and candid stories of juggling work, marriage, motherhood, and reality television cameras.
Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty, stalking herself on Twitter, discovering her former 90210 castmatesâ "I Hate Tori" club, contracting swine flu, and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers, she struggles to find balance (Stars, theyâre just like us!)âonly most women donât have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight: media scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott, her controversial relationship with Deanâs ex-wife, and her unfolding reconciliation with her mother.
Having it all isnât always easyâespecially when youâre a perfectionistâbut with the help of her unconventional family and friends, an underwear-clad spiritual cleansing or two, and faith in herself, sheâs learning to find her happy ending. Because when youâre Tori Spelling, every day brings uncharted terriTORI.

"My life has changed dramatically in the past several years. I married Dean; we moved several times; we had two children; we created a show that has gone into its fifth season on the air. I have love. I have a family. I have a home. I have work. Itâs all I ever wished for. But trying to be a perfect wife, mother, and mini-mogul has its challenges, especially if, like me, you want to be perfect at all of them at the same time." âfrom uncharted terriTORI
