Publisher's summary

The reality behind reality TV! Hollywood's favorite mom-star tells it like it is.

Tori Spelling is the first to admit that the "reality" behind her popular television show, Tori & Dean, isn't always real. Not even Star magazine could invent the true chaos that happens behind the scenes. Luckily, Tori is famously honest and self-deprecatingly funny when it comes to her personal life - she's always "Spelling it like it is". Life is never boring at Tori's house, but since the release of her New York Times best-selling memoirs sTORI Telling, Mommywood, and Uncharted terriTORI, things have been especially unpredictable:

• Finding out she was pregnant with her third baby after nearly vomiting live on the Home Shopping Network
• Trying to hide her fourth pregnancy so soon after giving birth (as her stylist said, "Who would be that crazy?")
• Being rescued from a paparazzo by a mom lynch mob
• Stalking her celebrity neighbor

And then there was allowing cameras to film every personal detail of her life - from the most challenging time in her marriage to the only time in six years when she really felt as though those cameras invaded her privacy. Tori shares these stories and many more with the usual humor, candor, and down-to-earth charm that her fans love. She also writes openly about her biggest challenges: terrifying health problems; her guilt over missing baby Hattie's early months because she was in the hospital on bed rest; her struggles (and failures) to live within her means after growing up in opulence; the discovery that she has a lot in common with her late mega-producer father, Aaron Spelling; and how she fell in love with Dean all over again. (Hint: it didn't happen at their vow-renewal ceremony.)

After years of revealing her everyday antics on-screen, Tori's life is still full of surprises. Slowing down long enough to enjoy them? Now that's another sTORI.

I LOVED IT

THIS IS ONE OF FAVORATE BOOKS OF TORI SPELLINGS. IT WAS SO ENTERYAIING BOOKS. I WISH SHE WOULD WRITE ANOTHER BOOK. I WOULD BUY IT

As usual, very cute and fun

Would you consider the audio edition of Spelling It Like It Is to be better than the print version?

Yes, I like hearing her read it in order to know exactly the tone she was going for.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spelling It Like It Is?

Liam telling a woman he doesn't like it when Stella's pussy gets red.

Which character – as performed by Tori Spelling – was your favorite?

Tori, obviously

Any additional comments?

The only thing that irks me is when she says she has money problems when clearly she still has far more money than the average person. She is far from middle class and even in the worst of problems was spending plenty of money.

Spelling It Like It Is - Loser

I feel very sorry for Tori. She really is a hot mess! She has managed to hook up with a complete loser. He uses her, humiliates her yet she still hangs on. She appears to have no self worth which is very sad!!!

Love Her

I loved it! spent my day listening to it while doing things around the house!

Pretty good

I am such a huge fan of Tori and always will be I hope she continues to write books about her life

She's very brave!

I loved this book. I watched all of the shows she talked about and was really nice that she narrated her book. Was very personalized. It felt like she just sat down and just you two we're talking. Great one. I will be reading her other books! Thank you Tori for allowing us in your life.

LOVED IT!

I loved loved loved this book, couldn't stop listening, so disappointed when it ended! Hope she keeps writing!

Disappointed

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I wanted to like this book and Tori. I was hoping the 4 star review average was accurate, but I have to disagree. I think people who have been pregnant multiple times and are full time mom's might enjoy this book more than me.

Has Spelling It Like It Is turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, i love celebrity memoirs.

How could the performance have been better?

I wish she wouldn't have discussed her pregnancies problems, hospital visits and bodily fluids over and over again. It was WAY TOO much for me. It made me think she was a hypochondriac needing attention from her family and her fans.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Spelling It Like It Is?

The hospital visits!!!

Any additional comments?

I'm sure Tori is a good person, I just didn't vibe with her story.

Awful!!!

Tori is SO gross!!!! I almost puked listening! Her children are being raised to be rude, swearing, entitled people. She buys on impulse, gets animals, then gets rid of them, takes pictures of her turds, talks endlessly about her "pussy" and "blood". Also, she's SO entitled! Be grateful for the work you DO get! The 6 season's! Geeze, if not for your Dad, you'd have nothing. Plus, she's a doormat with her husband. This book should be called, "I Am My Own Worst Enemy " Terrible, couldn't finish.

Don't waste your time!

It's a total waste of money, boring and completely stupid. How she ever got this book published is amazing.
