Synopsis

With the same down-to-earth wit that made her entertaining memoir ?sTORI Telling a #1 New York Times bestseller, Tori Spelling tells the hilarious and humbling stories of her life as a mom in the limelight. Tori Spelling might have grown up with everything a girl could wish for, but these days, she's just another suburban working mom...whose toddler regularly recognizes her in the pages of Us Weekly. Welcome to Mommywood, where the stars are two feet tall and your neighbors know who you are before you move in. Like most parents, Tori wants her children to have the one thing she didn't have as a kid -- a normal family. On their hit Oxygen reality show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, the starlet and her husband Dean McDermott regularly wrestle dirty diapers, host the neighborhood block party, and tackle temper tantrums on the red carpet. But when the cameras aren't rolling, Tori's still having awkward run-ins with a former 90210 costar at a Laser Tag birthday party, scooping rogue poo out of the kiddie pool on a resort vacation, and racing to win back her pre-baby body before the media starts calling her fat. For all her suburban fantasies, Tori Spelling is no June Cleaver. From learning to be the kind of parent her own mother never was to revealing what it's like to raise a family while everyone is watching, Mommywood is an irresistible snapshot of celebrity parenthood that you won't get from the paparazzi.

So I am no big fan of Tori Spelling, however, being a mom and having grown up watching 90210, I thought I'd give Mommywood a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to actually like Ms. Spelling's book. It gave a good perspective on her struggles and fears of being a mother and being conscious of not repeating mistakes her mother made raising her. Her book inspired me to check out her reality show and see the people and events she was referencing in her book. Interesting.
