Tori Spelling Talks Baby & '90210' Secrets In New Tell-All

By Access HollywoodFebruary 20, 2008, 4:11 pm PST

Tori Spelling, who has lived her life in the public eye, is now telling her side of her story in a new tell-all book.

"I spent so many years in the media having people tell stories about my life, so I figured I might as well tell the true stories about my life this time," the actress writes in excepts of her memoir appearing in the new issue of People magazine. "Nobody's read it! Not even Dean!" she adds.

Tori's tell-all takes readers back to the era of sideburns and shoulder-padded suit jackets- otherwise known as, the "90210" years.

At 16, Tori was cast as Donna Martin in her father's show, "Beverly Hills 90210."

"I had an insta-crush on Brian Austen Green," Tori writes.

In fact, she admits in the memoir that she cheated on her first boyfriend with her co-star.

"Brian was the only guy on the show my age. We had something going over the years we worked together. We were always fighting, making up, having fun and hating each other. We were just young."

But Brian wasn't the only co-star that took notice of Tori.

"As for Luke Perry, he called me 'Camel' because I had long eyelashes." Tori noted. "Trust me, Luke Perry can call you 'Camel' and make it sexy."

Yet, the set of "90210" was far from drama-free.

"Shannen [Doherty] had everything, but she could be arrogant and carefree," Tori writes of her co-star who played Brenda Walsh on "90210." "Jennie [Garth] was outspoken when she thought Shannen was out of line. Sometimes they got along, but there were explosions. Once they got into a fistfight."

Tori says that Shannen took her under and wing, exposing her to the wild side of celebrity life.

"A night with [Shannen] meant going to the hottest club and drinking until the early hours. I knew she was a 'bad influence,' but I liked her anyway," Tori writes.

Four seasons into "90210," tensions between Shannen and the rest of the cast reached a breaking point. Tori says the entire cast wanted Shannen gone, but needed Tori to be on board with their plan of asking her father, Aaron Spelling, to get rid of Shannen.

"I didn't want to betray her. Finally I agreed {with her cast members]. When Shannen left, I felt the same as everyone, like I could breathe again."

In her tell-all, Tori also opens up about the plastic surgery she has had. She previously admitted to getting a nose job, and now in her book she says she only had one other procedure.

Life took a series of twists and turns for Tori after "90210" ended. At 33, Tori was $200,000 in debt and out of work, according to People. She was also only willed a paltry amount of her father's massive fortune.

Tori's life changed when she met her husband, Dean McDermott, on the film "Mind Over Murder."

"It was love as first sight. I fell so hard," Tori writes about Dean.

Tori and Dean had a child together, Liam, and starred in a reality show, "Tori & Dean: Inn Love," which chronicled their adventures opening a bed and breakfast. Tori is currently in her second trimester with her second child and appears to found genuine happiness.

"My whole like I wanted to be normal. When I think of what I have now, it's not the biggest of best of most anything. It's family and love and safety. It's work and laughter and imperfection and imperfection. It's my normal." Tori concludes.

    Hi In regards to the question';;Has Tori betrayed her family with her new book? No more than she has been betrayed who knows? Maybe Tori isn't betraying ''no more than she has already been, if this is so! Then why not write a book'' good on her....

    i have always called her snori smelling. she SUCKED as an "actress" and she's still the whiney spoiled brat she's always been. daddy aaron gave his "little princess" everything so it's about time she actually has to do something. she is a homewrecker and deserves no happiness. who is she to talk about her moms' affair? isn&
