Tori Spelling complains about press coverage of feud with her mom

Tori Spelling was interviewed on the Ryan Seacrest radio show yesterday. She’s promoting her new book, Uncharted TerriTORI. She initially talked about the “farm” she has on her property, explaining that she wants to be “asked anything besides ‘marriage,’ ‘mother’ and ‘weight’.’ She said they have chickens, dogs, bunnies and a goat along with a small vineyard. The conversation soon turned to the well worn topics that Spelling claimed she wanted to avoid, of course.

On worrying that Dean would cheat – it was taken out of context
“I did say that, in context. It’s part of my book. People Magazine had an excerpt from my book. I said ‘I’m a normal girl, we worry about that stuff.’ You know how girls are, girls get jealous.

“When you take it out of context and say ‘I think my husband’s gonna cheat on me,’ it sounds horrible.”

“[Dean] doesn’t get jealous [of me]… I feel like an oddball being jealous all the time.”

On her illness and weight loss
“I was in the hospital for… two weeks. [with Swine Flu] Then I was sick after that for months because of it.

“I literally didn’t have the energy to get out of bed to care for [my kids]”

On her “hard year”
“I had a hard year. It’s kind of this journey I went on… emotionally with having the flu and then my marriage – you know we had some problems, then having my mom come back in my life. It’s kind of this emotional journey that I went on. It makes my book a little bit different than the other two I think.

“It’s a little bit deeper”

On how all the 90210 cast members “hate her”
“All my [90210] cast members hate me.”

“[Tiffani Amber Thiessen] doesn’t talk to me anymore.”

“Jenni [Garth] and I are still friends.”

“We were all great friends… after 90210. They all came to my first wedding. Then all of a sudden I marry Dean, I don’t know what happened. I lost all my cast members.”

What Tori neglected to mention is that she dumped her first husband for also-married Dean after less than a year of marriage. She also had a ridiculously lavish $1 million wedding at her father’s estate to her first husband, Charlie Shanian. Now she’s complaining that her friends don’t talk to her anymore, but did she even reach out to them when she hooked up with Dean? I bet a lot of them were wondering what the hell she was thinking.

On burying the hatchet with her Mom – “hype from the press” made it harder
“We both had to agree to disagree and put the past behind us, because there was so much baggage…

The hype from the press made it extremely [inaudible]. We had to say… ‘From this day forward, we’re just moving on with our relationship.‘”

Tori also fielded a question from Ryan about her psychic encounter with Farrah Fawcett, explaining that she wasn’t crazy because a celebrity medium shafted her for big bucks, not just an everyday medium. “It was with John Edwards, it’s not like I just walked down the street and paid $5 bucks to get a psychic reading.”

There’s Tori, using a feud with her mom and her low weight to promote her books and reality show – then complaining when the press actually covers the trivial details in a life that she keeps trying to package and sell us.
