Synopsis

A funny, candid celebrity memoir, Mommywood follows Tori Spelling as she navigates Hollywood motherhood, marriage to Dean McDermott, and family life in the spotlight.

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.

So I am no big fan of Tori Spelling, however, being a mom and having grown up watching 90210, I thought I'd give Mommywood a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to actually like Ms. Spelling's book. It gave a good perspective on her struggles and fears of being a mother and being conscious of not repeating mistakes her mother made raising her. Her book inspired me to check out her reality show and see the people and events she was referencing in her book. Interesting.

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.......more

Goodreads review by Laurel-Rain on June 08, 2009

She describes herself as a “work in progress”—both as a grownup and a mother—and then talks to the reader in a very down-to-earth voice about her efforts to make her home and everyday life as “normal” as can be for her husband and children, considering that she lives in the land where motherhood exi......more

Goodreads review by Rhonda on June 05, 2009

After reading "sTori Telling" I was very much looking forwad to Ms. Spelling's next book. I was a little disappointed as this one was not quite as good as the first but still a good, easy read that describes a life so far removed from my own. In "Mommywood" Tori Spelling picks up where her last book......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on April 14, 2022

I really have to start looking closer at audiobooks before picking them. I really never followed Tori Spelling, so didn't know much about her. But figured this would be an honest book about motherhood, so figured I'd give it a try. Spoiler alert: This wasn't funny. This was a book filled with jabs at T......more
