Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling officially announced, via her Twitter page (April 11, 2011), that she and husband Dean McDermott will welcome their third child in the fall of 2011.

As both stood in a sandbox with their children Liam and Stella, who were playing at their feet, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott renewed their marital pledges to each other on Saturday, May 8, 2010 at a private house in Beverly Hills. The sandbox centered between two white pails reading "Tori" and "Dean" --an ode to the beach in Fiji where the couple wed barefoot four years ago-- served as the setting for the vow renewal. Afterward, white feathers were tossed in the air by their guests, among which included Tori's mother Candy, as well as her brother Randy.

Tori Spelling was only twelve when she asked her mother, "Am I pretty?" Candy Spelling, whose reply Ms. Spelling found to be quite damaging, answered, "You will be when we get your nose done."

In bold statements made during a May 2009 radio interview conducted by the Kellogg Crew of 94.7 WMAS (Springfield, Massachusetts), Candy Spelling alleged that her daughter Tori Spelling's estrangement from the family "killed" her husband and Tori's father, Aaron Spelling. The eighty-three year old TV mogul and producer of the popular 1990s drama series Beverly Hills, 90210 in which his daughter costarred, passed away on June 23, 2006 from complications of a stroke. While dining out, Ms. Spelling, learned of her father's death by way of a condolence message received on her Blackberry from a friend who had just seen the news on TV. Tori's father had suffered a severe stroke five days earlier at his estate in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California, and she believed he was resting comfortably at home and in no immediate danger. Ms. Spelling was furious at not having received a telephone call from her mother saying her father had died, deepening the bitter rift between them. At the time of Aaron Spelling's passing, the actress was in Toronto with her actor husband Dean McDermott and immediately booked a flight to Los Angeles for the following morning. They attended a private funeral at Hillside Memorial Park in Los Angeles California, as did her estranged mother Candy Spelling, brother Randy, and uncle Danny Spelling, on Sunday, June 25, 2009.

Tori Spelling's husband Dean McDermott's love for his wife is the inspiration behind his four tattoos: a portrait of Tori on his left triceps; a gothic cross with "Tori girl" inscribed down its center on his left forearm; an image of an angel's naked backside with the words "Truly," "Madly," "Deeply," and "Tori" listed beneath it on his right forearm; and in honor of Tori's thirty-sixth birthday (May 16, 2009), a large Koi fish symbolizing Tori, a tiger representing Dean, and three baby Koi fish for Liam, 2, Stella, 11 months, and (McDermott's son from a previous marriage) Jack, 10. The tattoo also featured peonies, which stand for health and prosperity, and the word "Forever." McDermott's fourth tatt, which took Tim Hendricks at Spotlight Tattoo in Hollywood seven hours to complete, was secretly inked in two days prior to Tori's birthday.
