Product Description
If you thought Tinseltown was tough... 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. With the same down-to-earth wit that made her entertaining memoir sTORI telling a #1 New York Times bestseller, Tori tells the hilarious and humbling stories of life as a mom in the limelight. 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.

Tales of a Hollywood mom July 4, 2009 Melissa Niksic (Chicago, IL United States) "Mommywood" is Tori Spelling's second memoir, and I liked it almost as much as her first. Obviously, I am a huge "Beverly Hills, 90210" fan, but I also like Tori because she's so down-to-earth. Her second book details her life as a working celebrity mom of two young children. In "Mommywood," Tori gets pregnant with her second child, tries to shield her kids from the paparazzi, attempts to fit into one of L.A.'s ordinary neighborhoods (if such a thing actually exists), and works hard to be the best mother she can be. What I love the most about Tori's books are that they're so honest and funny. Tori always tells it like it is, and is very open about every aspect of her life, from pregnancy to sex to personal insecurities. She's also laugh-out loud hilarious...the Stella "PUTP" incident made me laugh so hard, I was almost in tears. If Tori and I ever meet one day, I have a feeling we'll be fast friends. The one thing that I didn't like about this book was that Tori did seem to take a bunch of unnecessary shots at the people in her life who have wronged her in some way, from her mother to Luke Perry to her husband's ex-wife, and even to some extent her young stepson. I don't blame Tori for feeling the need to vent about those relationships, but I think her comments will probably end up doing her more harm than good. In her future books, she should probably just try to avoid certain subjects that could potentially showcase her in a bad light. Overall, though, "Mommywood" was a fun and enjoyable read. I hope Tori has another memoir in the works!
Great book just like her 1st! June 29, 2009 Mari I enjoyed her first book so I knew that she was going to be just as funny in her second book. Can't wait for the 3rd!
Easy read, humorous, Tori fans will love it June 28, 2009 J. Puorro (Los Angeles, CA) Being a fan of Tori & Dean I had to read the book. This book was a very easy read. Quite humorous at times. Tori opened up about her and her family which was quite nice. I learned a lot about her that was not revealed in the show. I would recommend is read for Tori fans. Not sure how non Tori fans would like it.
A good continuation of sTori Telling June 27, 2009 Loves those books (Florence, AZ) I found that this book picked up nicely where sTori Telling left off. Written the same way as her first book I found it very honest and entertaining. Tori is very careful to make it clear that she is telling her story the way she sees it; not the "right or wrong" way. I like that about her. She was very honest about how she navigates her family through life and I think that is the thing I like best about her. I did find that she referenced some of the things she talked about in her first book but did not find it repetitive at all. Very enjoyable and quick read. Will we be getting a third????
Funny, realistic, and surprising June 25, 2009 R. Ballance I am a big fan of the show and was pleasantly surprised by the book as well. Tori's stories are similar to so many people's and she is easily relatable. I admire the fact that she doesn't dwell on her past, but uses it to shape her future in a guided way. She seems much more intelligent than people give her credit for. I am also glad to see it outselling her mother's book!
