She was television's most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character's exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened.

sTORI telling is Tori's chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she's led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.

From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.

±1±: Best Buy Full confession, I've never really cared for Tori Spelling. Between the tabloid drama and what I viewed as the obvious nepotism of her acting career, I've generally thought of Tori as the classic spoiled little rich girl. If that's how you feel about her, you need to read this book.

Tori Spelling is likable! She opens up about her (rocky) relationship with her mother, her first marriage, and her career. And in reading this book, I came to feel like Tori is very misunderstood. It gave me a whole new perspective on what it is like to constantly be told that you have only achieved what you have because of your family.

Yes, Tori Spelling grew up in an insanely rich family (who has a gift wrapping room anyway?). And her career is largely due to her father's fame and influence. But at the end of reading her memoir, I realized that her life is not the easy party that I always imagined. She came off as a very real person who has worked hard and has a complicated relationship with her parents. And really, who can't sympathize with that?

As a final note, with the exception of some repetitive phrasing that grated a little bit, she's actually a decent writer. This book made me swear off tabloid gossip, especially the gossip about celebrities' bodies. She did a great job humanizing the people behind that gossip. on Sale!
