Ilustration Toward Books Mommywood
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.

This book had a few funny parts. But other than that I felt like this book was a cry for Tori's mother, Candy, to come to her side and say "I am sorry Honey." Hollywood has such twisted morals for things. I love to watch or read trash just like the next person. But for reality...you want your mom to pay somewhat attention to your family. The papers aren't everything..I don't care how much money you make. Everyone wants the same things in life..the older you get. You want to go back to simpleIn the second of Tori Spelling's memoirs, Mommywood covers everything from poop-filled diapers to giving your kid candy for the first time. Tori tells her tale of becoming a mom for the first (and second) time to son Liam and daughter Stella all while living in the celebrity-obsessed Los Angeles. Her desire, throughout the audiobook version that I listened to, was to give her children the childhood she never had - the small house, the suburban neighborhood, even the hairstyles they wanted. While
This is so out of the norm of what I typically read, that I was almost embarassed to add it on here. Overall it was meh - Spelling is certainly bitter about her relationship with her mom, as evidenced by numerous little jabs throughout the book, which I thought was in poor taste after oh like, the 50th time. She also complains about money throughout the book. A lot. A whole lot. Which I found quite strange. It almost felt like a crutch she was using to justify some of her decisions and actions.
Somewhat the same as the last booksame tone and instead of being filled with stories about her dating life and 90210 it is just stories of her husband and children. There were two things that bothered me about this book (and they are the same things that annoyed me about her last book).1.) She spends too much time talking about how she is normal. Heres a hint: if you feel the need to continuously state that then you arent normal. Also, her view of what is normal is so warped because she grew up
Friends, get over it, swallow it, I have a THING for Tori and Dean. At the Inn in Hollywood, on Oxygen when I'm in hotels and they happen to be playing 24 hours of T and D - with all her batshit craziness and fears and their homewrecking ways - I love em. Guiltiest pleasure ever.
Kindle to iPhoneNot as entertaining as the first, but still better than it has any right to be.
