She was television's most famous virgin--and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on iBeverly Hills, 90210/i, 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. p isTORI Telling/i 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 iSo NoTORIous/i and Oxygen's iTori Dean: Inn Love/i, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after i90210/i; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms. p From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized--and misunderstood--"disinheritance," isTORI Telling/i is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling. BR HR class=bucketDivider noShade SIZE=1 BRB class=h1Amazon.com Exclusive/BBR bA Bonus Story and Family Photo from Tori Spelling/b BRBRBThe Manor/BBRIMG src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/tori-exclusive.jpg" align=right border=0 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 isTORI Telling/i 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. p 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. p 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. pShe 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 is hilarious! January 7, 2009
This is a great book even if you don't think you are a Tori Spelling fan. She is witty, girly, slap in the face honest and just plain likeable. This book was so addicting that I could hardly put it down.....She is very open with many issues in this book and it is great to hear this type of candid talk from a celebrity that knows that life is too short to take yourself too seriously.

Truth is stranger than fiction... December 28, 2008
I always loved Tori. There was something about her that attracted me to her work. I wasn't too sure if i'd enjoy this book or not. I finished it in 3 days, I couldn't put it down. It was like all of the fiction books I read in high school, only its a work of non-fiction. The only turn-off is how she spoke of her relationship with her first husband. I felt incredibly sad for him. She made it seem like him caring about her was a bad thing. I also can't find much truth in how she explained how she felt at her wedding to Charlie. I don't know, it just seemed too horrible to be real, either way, nice and juicy! Can't wait for her next book!

AFTER WATCHING HER REALITY SHOW ON TV I WANTED TO READ THE BOOK BECAUSE SHE SOUNDED LIKE AN INTERESTING PERSON WHO HAD BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD. THIS BOOK MAKES YOU REALIZE THAT MONEY CAN'T ALWAYS BUY HAPPINESS. I ENJOYED THIS BOOK-IT WAS AMAZING HOW MANY WRONG TURNS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR LIFE AND STILL END UP HAPPY

Witty and funny, Tori will keep you laughing! December 18, 2008
I've always been a fan of Tori Spelling, but her book really captures her raw wit and humor. I loved this book. It feels almost like reading a letter from a good friend. Fun and spunky, I recommend this book to anyone looking for a real page turner.
