Tori Spelling, husband Dean McDermott and their two kids - Liam, 2, and Stella, 11 months - enjoyed family time poolside while on vacation in Palm Springs, CA, last weekend.

Tori and Stella played patty cake (son Liam is not pictured) and Dean showed off his new tattoo - it was Tori's 36th birthday gift as it symbolizes their family. It reportedly took seven hours to complete! Quite the art work!

Stella is adorable isn't she? She looks quite a bit like her daddy!

Tori Spelling - What Eating Disorder?

trix — Tue, 26 May 2009 15:33:00 GMT

Tori took a much needed break from the pool, to inhale some lunch.

It does look like she's inhaling too, probably her body was starving from the activity, and really she's not only inhaling it, she's destroying it. Look at it, the sandwich is hanging out of her mouth.

We've all been that hungry before, maybe after being stuck in the snow for three days, but still, at least she's eating.

Props go to Tori for eating like that when she knows someone is watching. I hate eating in front of people, when I'm the only one eating.

She needs to make sure she eats in front of her kids, she has to be sure about her body image before they can be okay with theirs.

Tori Spelling's Weight Plummets!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 May 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Tori Spelling has admitted the pressures to be thin in Hollywood. She's talked about her struggles to lose weight after her daughter Stella was born and said it look her longer to reach her goal than with son Liam. But has Tori taken her weight loss too far?

Tori, who is 5' 5" in height, now weighs 91 pounds, according to sources. Her friends and family are concerned for her well-being and health and said they see the bones in her back sticking out - she's that skinny! Medical experts say that's a sign her calorie-starved body is using fat and muscle stores for energy. The really scary part? Tori wants to lose more weight!

A pal said, "Tori thinks she'll look better thinner, and she won't listen to anybody. Those are classic symptoms of anorexia, but Tori denies she has an eating disorder. Yet sometimes she doesn't eat much more during the day than the leftover bits of food from her children's meals."

Tori is reportedly a size 00 and her weight dropped from a thin 98 pounds to her new weight of 91 pounds. Her husband, Dean McDermott, is concerned.

The source added, "When Dean tried to mention his concern, Tori almost bit off his head and wouldn't talk to him for days. It's a real dilemma."

Spelling's rep denies she has any sort of eating disorder and insists she's "100 percent healthy" and weighs the same as she did before her pregnancy.

Yes, Tori has always been small but she really is starting to look skeletal. I really hope she is healthy - and is setting a good eating example for her kids, especially daughter Stella.

Dean Put A Ring On It

trix — Wed, 20 May 2009 15:50:00 GMT

Tori Spelling will never be like us regular folk, she just doesn't have it in her. She was raised with untold amounts of money and now she's married to Dean, has a reality show.

She just celebrated her wedding anniversary and as tradition goes, got a new ring.

She said: "I love the tradition Dean has started. Every year when he slips it on my ring finger, it reminds me of the day he made me his wife and we started our amazing journey together as one.”

Ah Tori, you're so silly. She will eventually pass on her collection to her kids and grandkids.

I appreciate my anniversaries as well, we like to celebrate our surviving another year, but not by buying each other lavish gifts. We're more of a sit back, take a load off and have a beer type of couple.

What is your anniversary tradition?

Baby # 3 For Tori Spelling: Yes & No

Sassy Smith — Mon, 18 May 2009 12:08:00 GMT

Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott are parents to son Liam, 2, and daughter Stella, 11 months, and while they do want more children, baby number three is on hold - for now.

Tori, in a radio interview with Valentine in the Morning, said she certainly gets her share of pregnancy rumors (of course, we here at Famecrawler, never participate in such gossip...ahem).

"I think maybe three or four months after Stella was born, there were rumors already circulating, [with people] calling my publicist, saying, 'Do you think Tori is pregnant again?'"

She continues, "So everyone is always looking for me to get knocked up again."

Tori hopes to one day make that more than just a rumor, but for now, a third pregnancy is on hold. She and Dean are focusing on their family of four.

"We're just enjoying our two beautiful little ones and kind of want to give them time together," but added they would "like to expand our family down the road."

Tori Spelling's Fear: Having A Daughter

Sassy Smith — Sun, 17 May 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, because of her rocky relationship with her mom Candy, was afraid of having her own daughter. Turns out, she didn't need to worry after all!

Tori, 35, spoke with Cookie Magazine about motherhood and the challenges - and joys - it brings.

Tori on having a girl:

"My biggest fear in life was having a girl. How was I going to handle a girl? It turns out that Stella is a total mama's girl," she says of her 11-month-old. "For all my fears, without my even trying, Stella wants her mama. When she is in [husband] Dean's arms, she lunges for me the way Liam did for him."

How she deals with the public attention over her post-pregnancy body:

"After I'd given birth to Stella, some woman at the market grabbed my belly and asked when I was due. When she had the flab in her hand, she realized her mistake. And the first time I went out after I had Liam, the paparazzi were around and I remember trying to hold my stomach in, even though my muscles were shot to hell, because it’s not like they want a story, 'Look at the happy couple, they just had a baby. Do you see her stomach? We thought she already had the baby.'"

Strangers used to touch Tori's pregnant belly:

"During both pregnancies, people touched my belly a lot," Spelling says. "I would never do that to a pregnant woman – it's a personal thing. And if I did, I'd say, 'Your belly is so cute, can I touch it?' "

But she eventually gave in. "At a certain point, " she says, "I just decided that Stella was getting a lot of love in there."

Tori loves her nanny Patsy and there's no jealousy about her being close to Liam and Stella:

"I never understood being competitive with a nanny. If you have someone you trust and who loves your kids, then what an amazing thing you’ve done for them. [She is] a baby nurse to them and like a mother figure to me."

Tori believes her unplanned pregnancy with Stella was a sign that Patsy was meant to stay in her life:

"I have this little bear that was Nanny’s, and I always bring it when I fly. I recently showed it to Liam (now 2) and explained that the bear is like a grandparent who looks out for us. He grabbed it and kissed it."

Tori and husband Dean McDermott's new show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood premieres on May 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Oxygen.

Pregnant Tori Spelling: Fans Touched My Belly!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 16 May 2009 14:05:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, when pregnant with her second child - daughter Stella - had a lot of people coming up to her and touching her belly. Although she believes it's a personal thing, she finally gave in and allowed her fans to put their hands on her stomach. Talk about up close and personal with strangers!

Tori tells Cookie magazine:

"During both pregnancies, people touched my belly a lot. I would never do that to a pregnant woman, it's a personal thing. And if I did, I'd say, 'Your belly is so cute, can I touch it?' But when fans do it, I couldn't say, 'Please don't touch, because then it would be 'What a bitch!' At a certain point, I just decided that [my second baby] Stella was getting a lot of love in there."

Tori dished about losing the baby weight:

"After I'd given birth to Stella, some woman at the market grabbed my belly and asked when I was due. When she had the flab in her hand, she realized her mistake." Oops!

Tori is married to actor Dean McDermott. Her daughter Stella is now 11-months and son Liam turned two in March.

Liam Gallagher Refuses To Meet Noel's Son

Josh loposer — Wed, 06 May 2009 22:01:00 GMT

If you're an old fan or you happen to live in South America, where the band is currently selling out stadiums, you're aware that Oasis is on tour. But unfortunately, it looks like things between feuding brothers Noel and Liam is as bad as ever.

It's so bad, apparently, that Liam has never even met Noel's 19-month-old son Donovan in person.

“He’s never seen my little lad, just pictures. To a stranger it sounds ludicrous, but you wouldn’t have him in the house if he spoke to you the way he speaks to me and my family.”

Crazy, right? Sure, things get pretty complicated when it comes to family feuds, but for an uncle to shut out his 19-month-old nephew just because he doesn't get along with his sibling is over the line. What a douche! Noel goes on:

“He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Yikes, that's some pretty rough stuff. I guess I'd be pretty mad if my brother wouldn't come over a see my child. Hopefully, the band will get things sorted out before they ruin the world tour.

These guys are worse than the Spellings.

Britney Spears Gets Parenting Advice From... Guess Who?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:08:00 GMT

Britney Spears, who lost custody of her two sons - Sean Preston and Jayden James - during her 'shaving of the head' days, probably could have used some parenting advice. She's since turned her life around - although, she's still making a few mistakes (hey don't we all?) - and while she doesn't have her boys full-time, she does get to see them on a regular basis. Spears, 27, has been getting parenting tips from one celebrity mom - who do you suppose it is?

Find out after the jump!

Tori Spelling! Seriously! Sure, she probably isn't the person to get dieting tips from (eat a burger Tori!), but I don't think anyone would doubt her mothering skills. Tori is a very hands-on mom - although, her own mother, Candy Spelling, accused her of using her children as "props," but let's not get into that.

Spears reportedly requested an autographed copy of Spelling's new book, Mommywood.

A source said, "Britney's actually a huge fan. She used to be obsessed with watching Beverly Hills, 90210 back in the day. And now she thinks that Tori has such a cute family."

Apparently Tori "was really flattered" that Brit wanted a copy of her book. Hopefully, she reads it!

Josh loposer — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:31:00 GMT

Though I haven't got a chance to read the literary gem that Tori Spelling's Mommywood promises to be ... it seems a lot more interesting now that I know that it includes Tori's tips for pubic hair grooming during pregnancy.

It's not a problem most people would probably ever think about, but yes, you're ability to groom the hair down there is apparently greatly affected by either a baby bump or a ginormous beer gut. As I see it, you've got three options: invent a belly-bridging shaver thing, just let things down there go au naturale, or enlist some help for a sympathetic friend. From Tori's book:

“I wasn’t prepared for losing sight of my lower region. I’d say, ‘Dean, how’s it looking down there? Do I need to shave?’ But of course I couldn’t shave. So Dean had to do it.”

Obviously, Tori chose option #3. Imagine if the couple's reality show on Oxygen had caught some of that conversation. Pure comedy gold.

I have to guess that this occurred during Tori's pregnancy with Liam, her two-year-old. You'll have to read the book to find out if she came up with a different solution the second time around with Stella.

Sassy Smith — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:07:00 GMT

Tori Spelling has always been very candid about all things concerning motherhood, including the pressure she felt to be a certain size after baby, particularly because she's in the public eye. Tori said she had a harder time losing the baby weight with daughter Stella, but with diet and exercise she succeeded. However, her family and friends are concerned she's gone too far and needs help!

According to sources, Tori's weight has dropped to 95 lbs (her weight was rumored to be 98 lbs a few weeks ago, so either the number is being reported incorreclty or Tori is continuing to shed pounds), and her family is begging her to seek help.

Candy Spelling, Tori's estranged mother, believes she's anorexic and wants to reach out to her daughter to help. Candy is willing to do whatever it takes - even send her to a top treatment center for eating issues.

"Candy is a nervous wreck over Tori. She thinks she is really troubled and anorexic. In all the years I’ve known Tori, this is the worst I have ever seen her."

Tori admits her eating habits have changed since the birth of her daughter ten months ago - but denies she's anorexic. "I just changed the way that I ate after I had Stella." Spelling's pants size is reportedly a 00! But to be fair, she's always been tiny - and as she said during her appearance on The View, people are used to seeing her pregnant - her babies - son Liam is now 2 - were born fairly close together. Tori barely had time to lose her baby weight before she was pregnant with Stella.

The 90210 actress does admit her meals sometimes consist of leftovers from her kids' plates - she's busy, as a lot of moms are. I think most of us have been guilty of that at times - although, certainly not a good way to sustain a body. In an interview Tori said she might eat a small piece of hot dog, or broccoli floret or a french fry - whatever scraps her kids didn't eat.

Another pal said, "Everybody is trying to figure out how to convince Tori she needs help."

Tori is definitely thin - although I'm not convinced she's anorexic. She's filming scenes for 90210, promoting her book Mommywood, and caring for two small children and like many moms, may put her own needs on the back burner. But her kids deserve to have a healthy mom - so Tori, remember to eat!

Motherhood: Nothing Embarrasses Tori Spelling!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:07:00 GMT

Tori Spelling, who is mom to son Liam, 2, and daughter Stella, 10 months, has nothing to hide when it comes to talking motherhood. From pregnancy, to poop, to a soft post-baby belly, the 35-year-old actress is very candid!

Tori spoke with mommytrack'd and she dishes on what it's like to have a second child, being a working mother, and those little moments that a lot moms experience, but don't want to admit to.

Tori on how having a second baby has changed things:

"Having 2 babies so young... Liam just turned 2 and Stella is 9 months is a lot of work. It's a lot of POOP! But it's so rewarding to see them begin to interact and start to play together. I'm lucky that I have such a hands on husband. Dean is amazing! Patsy our baby nurse is still with us and will be with us till June. It's a lot more gear with 2 and we eat a lot more meals in but we love every moment of it."

Daughter Stella, Tori's second child, wasn't planned, but a very welcome addition:

"I didn't know I was ready for #2. Stella was a very pleasant surprise. We always knew we wanted more children so we just figured the time was right cause fate stepped in and brought us Stella."

Tori, never one to be afraid to talk about those "embarrassing" mom moments, said she would have let husband Dean look to see if she'd "pooped" had she had a vaginal birth:

"If I hadn't had a C section I absolutely would have been paranoid about pooping [on] the table. Luckily Dean and I share everything so YES... I would have asked him to check to see if I had done the deed!"

Does Tori have mom friends to hang with? Oh yes!

"I'm lucky... My girlfriends and I all seem to be having babies at the same time. In fact my best friend Jenny and I had 2 pregnancies together with all babies being a month apart. We do try to do play dates and family dinners when we can. Liam and I are currently in a toddler program together."

How does Tori spend her down time when not working?

"When we have the rare no work moment we just like to be home-bodies with the kids. We like to cook, and watch movies together (in fact I think to date I've seen the animated feature CARS 22 times), go biking together, on walks, go to the park, and just BE. And, occasionally Dean and I take a date night out and love to get sushi locally in our neighborhood!"

Tori is a working mom but would she ever be a stay-at-home-mom?

"The Inn (her reality show) worked out the way it was meant to. It truly was a 24/7 job. I wanted time to focus on being a mommy. We can never get this special time back with our babies cause they grow so fast and I couldn't do both. Sometimes I do envision just being a stay at home mom but not working isn't an option for me currently. I need to work to support my family. I love being creative though so coming up with new business ventures is always on my mind. In fact I just started and designed my own children's clothing line called Little Maven. It'll hit stores in the fall. It'll be carried at many places such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom’s, Intuition, and Kitson Kids. I'm very proud of it!"

Losing the baby weight isn't always easy - and Tori struggled with shedding hers after Stella was born. She's had her share of awkward mom moments!

"I talk in my new book MOMMYWOOD of the recurring dialogue of being called out as pregnant after baby is long out of belly! It just happens. It's always when you think that you've lost a little of the baby weight that someone steps in grabs a handful of a now sans baby soft belly and asks the inevitable "when are you due?". It happened to me quite a bit after both babies."

Tori has some guest spots on the new CW's 90210 - how has it changed since she was filming the orginal Beverly Hills, 90210?

"So far no drama at all on new 90210 set that I know of. They all seem to really get along which is great. I have most of my scenes with Jennie Garth and I guess we do feel a bit like the elders. I say we are the older cast and Jennie reminds me to say "original" instead. It makes us laugh. But they are all young and experiencing this for the first time. It's a great time for them. Jennie and I sit around and talk babies!"

Tori Spelling: There's Pressure To Be Thin

Sassy Smith — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 11:04:00 GMT

Tori Spelling sparked rumors that she has an eating disorder because her weight has dropped to 98 pounds recently. Although she says she isn't anorexic, she does admit to feeling pressure from "Hollywood" to be thin.

Tori didn't used to feel pressure to be a certain weight, but after being in the public eye and scutinized, it's harder to have an 'I don't care' attitude. Plus, after having kids, women - particularly women in Hollywood - feel an added pressure to lose the baby weight as soon as possible.

She said, "I knew as soon as I left the house a week, even two weeks after giving birth, [to daughter Stella] people are going to take pictures and scrutinize. Whereas mothers everywhere don't even think about losing the weight for a year. It was hard to find that balance of what's acceptable."

Tori, who has always been naturally thin, had to really work to get the weight off after her son Liam was born - she gained 40 pounds with him.

"After I had Liam, the weight didn't just fly right off. I had to diet and exercise. When I had Stella, I remember looking at Jessica Alba [after she gave birth] and thinking, 'Wait a minute, it flew right off her.' Then I read that she works out six days a week and I'm like, 'Oh God, no, I can't do that.'"

Spelling, 35, said a balanced diet, of mostly organic products, and exercising with her family, has helped her lose the weight from her pregnancy with Stella, now 10-months-old.

Tori says husband Dean McDermott has been very supportive and said "his biggest concern was my self-confidence," when the tabloids were speculating about her weight-loss. "He just keep reassuring me, 'I think you're beautiful and perfect no matter what you weigh, I just want you to be healthy.'"

The 90210 actress scoffs at reports that she and Dean had an argument - with him yelling at her because she was too thin.

Said Tori, "First of all, it would never get to that point – it would be an ongoing conversation because we're together every day. If people say I'm thin, I'm like, 'Great babe, make me a meal.' He's an awesome cook."

Hubby Dean said, "She is really good at eating healthy. She's just as strict and driven with her diet as she is with work."

Spelling, who has a crazy schedule right now ,said, "When it rains, it pours - everything's happening at once. My book [Mommywood] is coming out, our fourth season of Tori & Dean is coming out, 90210... Afterwards I'll be able to slow down and really focus on me a little bit more. Every woman, we all have different lifestyles but that's what we all need at the end of day - just to be able to breathe."

That's right, some producers at Oxygen actually think that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's 3 years of marraige is worthy of not only a reality show, but a made-for-TV movie as well.

Seriously, do people want to watch a romantic comedy based on their marriage? Seems like season three of Home Sweet Hollywood is more than enough Tori and Dean, but who knows?

Is there really enough story to work with? They must plan on getting a lot of mileage out of Dean leaving his wife to be with Tori. And then there's the whole Candy Spelling debacle ... but then what?

Sure, they've had two kids together, Liam and Stella, but they're not really old enough to get into any serious trouble that would make for an interesting movie. Oh wait, this is a made-for-TV movie on Oxygen -- guess the bar isn't set all that high.

I'm guessing that Tori will play herself, but who will they get to play her mother? They're not exactly on the best of terms right now, both blaming each other for their estrangement. I'm going to go ahead and nominate Barbara Walters.

Now that Tori Spelling has released a book about about parenting called Mommywood, the drama surrounding she and her mother Candy's falling out is really ratcheting up a notch. During Tori's appearance on The View yesterday, both Barbara and Joy got all up in up in her bidness about reaching out to mommy (video after the jump).

Whoa, if the ladies on The View can't solve it in the course of a 7 minute interview, it must be a really serious problem.

While they may be right in a lot of ways, it really just looked like Babs and Joy are bullying Tori in order to get some kind of ratings-boosting online reconciliation going, and Tori's just not having any of it.

I've got to say, I'm kinda impressed with the way Tori stuck to her guns -- even when the crew started laying on the guilt trip about how the "feud" was hurting her children Liam and Stella's relationship with their grandmother.

Did they really expect to break Tori down and have a Kumbaya session on the show? I'm kinda thinking that they did. Hopefully, Tori and Candy will one day bury the hatchet, but apparently the hard sell didn't work.

Let Me Break Down the Candy Spelling / Tori Spelling Feud For You

Tori & Candy Spelling: Can They Ever Repair Their Relationship?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:08:00 GMT

It's been going on for years - the "feud" between Tori and Candy Spelling. It's a 'she said, she said' sort of situation. Who's right and who's wrong? Perhaps both women should grow up and meet in the middle? Tori's kids may want to know their grandmother and Candy would probably like to know her grandkids. Can these two ever make their mother/daughter relationship work?

Candy, who claims she's reached out to her daughter, has heard nothing. So, she decided to post an open letter to Tori, on her Website:

"You haven't responded to my emails, phone calls and text messages. You say you look at my Web site, so I'm trying to reach you that way. I want to see you and your family -- in private, like the 'normal family' you say always wanted.

"With your book coming out tomorrow, the war of words will escalate. That's not what I want. I want us to be a family.

"My fax machine was burning up over the weekend with well-meaning people sending me excerpts of your new book. You write that you don't want to feel like you kept me apart from your children. You write:

"I would love to have a relationship with her… But I haven't stepped up to make that happen."

"Well, I'm stepping up. Call me, write me, text me.

"I'm a mother who, like every mother, wants communication and a great relationship with you, my daughter, and your family," writes Candy. "I'd love to work it out the way all families try to resolve issues. In private. But, as I wrote in a my book, I was a celebrity by marriage, then a celebrity by motherhood. That means that my life is public. I'm used to it. It comes with the territory.

"What makes it so difficult is to hear you say things like: I'd like to call my mother, or I love my mother but don't speak to her, or I think she has my nanny's phone number. I don't want a reunion via talk show or to speak through the press. I want a relationship with you and my grandchildren.

"I am hopeful. Love, Mom."

Tori insists there is no feud - just that she and her mom don't "mesh."

The younger Spelling said, "It's not like we're not talking, we just haven't talked. I love my mother. I've always loved her [and] no doubt she loves me. There's no feud. We simply never meshed."

But what happened? Tori added, "My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together."

Tori denies she "cut" her mom off as far as her children - Liam, 2, and Stella, 10 months - are concerned.

"I, in no way, cut her off. She is welcome to make the effort if she wants to be present in their lives. She knows how to reach me, she knows where we live. If she would love to see her grandchildren, she should really make an effort to reach out and see them." Tori says the last contact she had with her mom was through an email when she was pregnant with daughter Stella.

Both women have books out - Tori's is Mommywood, released Tuesday, April 14, and Candy's is Stories from Candyland, released last month.

Tori said of her mom's book (which she's not yet read), "If she wants to put her truth out there as she sees it, she's completely entitled to do that. I know she has a letter to the grandchildren in it, and I think that's perfectly lovely if that makes her happy. And you know, I hope she follows through on that. I hope they do mean the world to her and she does reach out to them."

Can these two mend their fences? Or are both women just too darn stubborn to make the first move?

And who pays the price if they can't? Liam and Stella have a right to know their grandmother.

Kids Fashion: Little Maven By Tori Spelling

Sassy Smith — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Actress Tori Spelling will be a busy working mom! Besides doing guest shots on the new CW's 90210, and promoting her latest book Mommywood (hits stores on April 14), she is launching a children's clothing line, "Little Maven by Tori Spelling."

Tori, mom of two, said, "I've always loved fashion. It's one of my big passions in life. When I had kids I knew I wanted to use my flair for style to make stylish yet comfortable clothing for my children.

"Liam and Stella inspired me to make stylish yet accessible clothing for infants, toddlers and children."

She added, "The comfort [and] functionality factor really influences the styles I include in my collection. I pay close attention to what styles and materials Liam and Stella feel most comfortable in, and then I add the stylish element. Plus I love to dress my kids in strong fun pop colors, and that really inspired me to keep the line bold in palette."

Tori said her son loves bright colors. "Liam loves bold bright colors and gravitates to them. Of course, he wants to wear something with a monkey on it, which inspired the monkey hang tag on all the boys clothing. He also loves jeans. So I created the 'Liam' jean just for him.

"It’s the perfect cut, stylish, and comfortable. And I love the LM stitched on back pockets, which stands for Little Maven, but I tell him it’s LM for Liam McDermott!"

As for girls' styles, Tori didn't want to make things that were too girly.

"I wanted to find the happy medium between dressing Stella too baby-girl-frilly and too sophisticated in style. It’s adorable toddler mixed with Hollywood glam starlet!"

The clothing will be in department stores across the US and retail between $24-$88.
