The Rich Get Richer

Just when I think I have a firm grasp on the way the world works—BAM! Tori Spelling’s mom wins the lottery. Okay, not exactly the lottery, but Candy Spelling did hit the jackpot during a recent trip to Las Vegas—-more than once. Get this: A few days ago Tori’s millionaire mom (the widow of gazillionaire TV mogul Aaron Spelling) reportedly cashed in while playing the $100 slot machines at the Bellagio Hotel and took home $100,000. But her luck didn’t end there. According to news reports, Spelling continued to win, eventually raking in more than $300,000. By the end of … Continue reading

Celebrity Moms Celebrating Their First Mother’s Day

Hollywood’s baby boom really exploded during the first few months of 2007, which means tomorrow will be an extra special day for many first time celebrity moms. In honor of Mother’s Day I’ve compiled a list of some of Hollywood’s brightest female stars who are now new moms—some were just inducted into this wonderful sorority less than 48 hours ago: Jaime Pressly of “My Name is Earl” fame and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, welcomed a baby boy, Dezi James, just yesterday. The infant weighed in at 6 lbs. 4 oz. The actress told PEOPLE magazine her son’s name was … Continue reading

Tori Spelling: “Motherhood Rocks”

Have you ever visited Tori Spelling’s MySpace page? Let’s say it’s interesting (to say the least). Her latest blog entry details her journey into motherhood. What? You didn’t hear? Spelling and husband Dean McDermott welcomed their first child together, a son, last week. The couple named their little bundle of joy Liam Aaron McDermott. The baby’s middle name is a tribute to the actress’s late father, legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling who died last June.

Tori Spelling’s New Baby

Actress Tori Spelling has given birth… to a new… inn. Okay, okay, I apologize for teasing. Spelling is still pregnant and is set to give birth any day now to a baby boy she confirmed will be given the middle name “Aaron” (a tribute to her father Aaron Spelling). In the meantime, this weekend, Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott celebrated the grand opening of their new bed and breakfast—but just barely. “Dean was painting doors until 2 p.m.,” Spelling told PEOPLE magazine. “Only hours before the gala, all the furniture was gathered in the middle of the rooms and … Continue reading

Celebrity Garage Sale

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that part of being rich and famous was that you happily avoided having to make money by selling your personal items on the street? Okay, the celebrity in question here is actress Tori Spelling… and yes, it’s true; she did inherit less than 1/300ths of her later father’s estate (TV mogul Aaron Spelling), but I can’t imagine she is facing skid row. Whatever the impetus may be, the now five-months pregnant ex-“Beverly Hills, 90210” star and her husband Dean McDermott are determined to sell her wares at her Studio City, California home … Continue reading

Tori’s Tell-All

Well, she certainly is lacking material. That’s what I thought when I first heard actress Tori Spelling is planning to write a memoir about her privileged childhood and well-documented adult years. This on top of her other “entertainment” project: running a bed and breakfast with husband Dean McDermott for an upcoming Oxygen network series. According to PEOPLE magazine, Simon & Schuster plans to publish the book by the former “Beverly Hills 90210” star and expectant mom. I had to chuckle when I read that Spelling told USA Today that she plans to write her book when “the baby is napping.” … Continue reading

Bittersweet Celebrity Baby News

Is it a “Beverly Hills 90210” baby bonanza? Just a few days after her fellow “90210” co-star Jennie Garth gave birth to a girl, Tori Spelling has announced that she is just months away from being a mom herself. According to PEOPLE magazine, Spelling is 14 weeks pregnant with her first child. The magazine quotes sources close to the couple, as saying that Spelling and her actor husband Dean McDermott are “excited and happy” about the news. But, the fact is, I can’t help but think that the news is also slightly bittersweet. After all, if you have been following … Continue reading

The ugly battle between legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling’s wife and daughter is getting even uglier.

The latest chapter in the bitter dispute involves a special tribute Tori had planned to executive produce and host in memory of her late father.

A source close the project tells PEOPLE: “All of his … Continue reading

Hollywood Style Watch—Dress Like A Celebrity Without Going Bankrupt

Recently, I blogged about Cher auctioning off 200 pieces from her extensive wardrobe and costume collection, including outfits featured on “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” and an original Mackie-designed gown she wore to Oscars. Part of the money raised will benefit the Cher Charitable Foundation. Now word comes that former 90210 star Tori Spelling is also selling her clothes… on Ebay. Only the profits will not be going to aid needy children, rather it will aid Spelling’s pocketbook. (See my blog: “Poor Little Rich Girl.”) The sale comes on the heels of the recent reading of her father’s (famed … Continue reading
