Tori Spelling Releases Book (March 11, 2008)
sTori TellingTori Spelling / Hardcover (Mar 11, 2008)
Product Description: 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.
Instead of Fox, however, it might appear on the fledgling CW network, which is starting to look more like the old WB network than the old UPN network. The show is desinged to go with another teen series, "Gossip Girl" running Monday nights on CW. The scribe for the defunct "Dawson's Creek" and "Veronica Mars" series, Rob Thomas, has been tapped to write the series. The series will center on another family: the Mills family. Like the old Walsh family, they would be transplants from a Midwest neighborhood. Father Harry Mills (aka a Jim Walsh) grew up in the area but moved to St. Louis after graduating from Beverly Hills High. He is, however, forced to move his family back to his childhood hometown after his mother, an aging '70s actress, begins succumbing to alcoholism. His wife, Celia (aka a Cindy Walsh), is a former medalist for a four-year world games competetion with the famous five rings as its logo. She now works as a personal trainer. The couple's biological daughter, Annie (a Brenda Walsh), is into acting and alternative music. She longs to fit into the cool crowd at school (more like Buffy, Sabrina, etc. without the witchcraft or vampires). Her adopted brother, Dixon (a Brandon Walsh) is the same age. He is a minority student. He was adopted by the Mills family six years earlier. The CW is looking to cast a black or mixed race actor in the role, according to E! Online. Aspiring journalist Navid Shirazi (an Andrea Zuckerman), who runs the school's TV newscast, is of Persian descent. There are the Silver siblings, Daphne and Max, though we don't know for sure if they are the children of the characters David and Donna Silver (Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling). They live in a mansion by themselves while their parents apparently are off on an extended cruise. The producers have been given just two weeks by the network to complete the casting process. Both Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering said they are willing to be a part of the series. There are more characters. Four of the five teens other than the Mills siblings are 16-year-old students at Beverly Hills High. Daphne is 16. Her brother, Max Silver, is 20-something. Though Max is 20, and it's unlikely in real life that David and Donna would have given birth to their first child before March of 2001, the scribes of the soap operas have a mysterious way of quickly aging babies into teenagers or adults as fast as ten years in real life. In order to make the project ready for the CW network's upfront presentations to the advertisers in May, the network and the producing studio, CBS Paramount Network TV, began casting before the script's completion.
