TORI, TORI, TORI

I've been around Tori Spelling many times in the past... But my most recent encounter, an interview for her new book "Mommywood" was perhaps the most enlightening. Here was a young woman, now a Mom of two, happily married and spread waaaay thin with a reality show, episodes of the new 90210, a book tour, and get this, her babies are both under the age of two.

Dean, her husband, is quite the hands-on Dad... and for Tori, having come from such privilege, I'm struck now by just how 'normal' she really is. Sure, her Dad Aaron was one of the biggest TV moguls ever, and sure, she had a questionable relationship with her Mother, Candy, who really tried to usurp her daughter's book-release, by 'releasing' her own public letter to Tori on her website the night before, begging Tori to 'step up' and allow Candy to see her and her grandchildren.

Through it all, Tori smiles... almost naively, and is very self-deprecating. She says, her Mother knows where she lives, and she knows her cell phone number and email... So, why oh why would Candy be making this a 'public' thing on her website? Feeling a little overshadowed by her own daughter?

There are two sides to every story, and for those kids sake, it would be nice for whomever is holding the hatchet, to bury it, so the kids could have a Grandmother... life is too short.
