The Series, Created and Executive Produced by Husband-And-Wife Team Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, Premieres on Wednesday, March 21st at 10 p.m. (ET/PT)

Famed actress, pop culture icon and mother-to-be Tori Spelling (Beverly Hills 90210) and her actor husband Dean McDermott are adding innkeepers to their resume this year when they open their own bed & breakfast in the new Oxygen reality series Tori & Dean: Inn Love. Leaving their Hollywood lifestyle behind, the McDermotts head for the picturesque wine vineyards of southern California to invest Spelling’s $800,000 inheritance into opening an inn.

Partners in marriage and now in business, the couple will give viewers an intimate look at their new life as they try to balance the challenges and obstacles they face as first-time innkeepers along with the joys and stresses of preparing for their first baby.

Six episodes of the 30-minute series is set to premiere Wednesday, March 21st at 10p.m. The newlyweds created the show and executive produce along with Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato of World of Wonder Productions, the production team behind the Bravo series Show Biz Moms & Dads.

So does this mean no more "So Notorious"? The show was cute. Although Zachary Quinto has since moved on to bigger and much, much better shows.

I hope it doesn't mean no more So NoTorious! I loved that show. This doesn't soun too fun to me but i know i'll watch anyway

A few months ago, Tori had a garage sale of many of her personal items. I have a feeling that will end up on this show since I heard the cameras from her reality show were there.

Based on the previews I saw, the garage sale will be on the show.

Perez Hilton is reporting Tori is in labor.

Tori had the baby!

Wonder if it was natural childbirth.

On a side note, I saw the ET clip of her baby shower. Is Tori always that giggly over everything? She seemed to be trying too hard to make it seem like they were super happy and that she was being soo hands-on with the B&B. Makes me wonder. He was complimenting her, but even that seems insincere and calculating. Hmm...
Also 50 guests at a shower? Gift-grab much?

C-section. Boy. 6 lbs. 6 ozs. Liam Aaron. Nice name.

Less than 6 1/2 pounds? Wow, she looked like she had gained about 50 pounds to me. This will be an interesting weight loss to witness.

There were some reports and at least one blind item in the gosisp columns/tabloids that basically said that Tori was still drinking lots of alcohol during her pregnancy. If true, it would explain why the baby was born underweight.

As for this reality show, I might tune in for a few episodes, but everything about Tori and Dean annoys the hell out of me. And it's so disgusting to see that part in the promo where Tori holds up an article of clothing (presumably for her garage sale) and says, "It still smells like urine." Ick. TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

Tori finally gets what she wants from Candy- GIFTS!!!

Wonder if Tori will later complain that her mother didn't spend enough on the baby, like she did with her first wedding.

Wow I didn't realize she only got $800k. That's fascinating. I never really knew that much about Tori Spelling but the juicy stuff that's come out in the last several years is good enough for me!
I wonder how much she made off of 90210 and if she saved it? Seems as if daddy probably paid for everything? Or maybe not?
But isn't Aaron Spelling (wasn't he) worth a TON of cash?
The show should be interesting to see. Probably would rather see a show with how they handle the baby but a pregnant, hormonal Tori Spelling baking red velvet cupcakes sounds good too.

I loved Dean McDermit on Due South and some of the movies he's been in, but now he's lost all hope from me. The show has kind of trainwreck pull though, but I still don't know if I'll watch it.

The Inn looks amazing! At least based from what I've seen during their interviews. I just wonder how long they will do things themselves and if it will last. Can't wait to see the show!

During the promos, they show Tori telling Dean's financial advisor that she is in debt. "I'm in debt, I'm in debt alot!" How is Tori Spelling in debt? What excuse does she have? Sounds like she spent alot more money that she had because she was counting on her father leaving her alot more.

I saw some of the promos and her husband really sceeved me out. He just had the ick factor going for me. I'll watch it out of curiousity.

Well, the first episode was kinda hurried and not as good as I thought. However, it might get better.

Also, Dean looks like he is just realizing that life with Tori wasn't what he expected it to be.

They are so going to get a divorce!

WTF re: the storage "unit" that Tori had!? My gawd!!! And to think a lot of it was in her mom's "attic". Sorry for the overuse of quotes.
Did they bring any of that to the estate sale? It wasn't really clear.
How much did they make from the estate sale?
I thought the show was alright. I've never really heard Tori Spelling talk before heheh... Never was a 90210 fan. She's not as annoying as she looks.
From what looks like a compulsive shopping habit, I would certainly believe she's in debt. It made me wonder how they're going to pull off the b and b and make money off of it/finance it/pay back the loan. Doesn't it only have 4 rooms? I mean, I'm sure it will be booked for a while with all this publicity, but how much can you make off of 4 rooms?
I wonder how much they were paid for doing the show?
I think I worry too much about money!!!!!
When I see other people who are potentially struggling with money it makes me all nervous (don't mind me!)

Okay, I know she was pregnant. And I'm really really trying not to be all shallow LA girl here, but geez! Her face was terrible! And the amount of makeup with that bleached out hair and that red red lipstick! My retinas are burning.

Only $800k? He was worth a gazillion dollars and she only got $800k? I didn't follow the whole Tori v mom drama that went on once Aaron died, but was that the problem between them? Did Aaron leave almost everything to his wife and Tori didn't get too much and objected to it? Because I could see that. I could understand if Aaron did do that, as giving your child pretty much unlimited wealth is just a sure fire way to produce a disgusting piece of trust fund trash (Paris, anyone?) but still, she had to be disappointed.

Time will tell whether this show is worth following. I can't imagine having cameras follow me around while trying to care for a newborn though. Not only are you not at your best then, you are also freaked out by small things, you don't have enough sleep, and the world wants to tell you how to do whatever they see you doing 'wrong'. Can you imagine an entire television audience watching and critiqueing your every motherly move during those early days? Automatic nervous breakdown time.

She should pencil that in right now...

I really didn't like him. What an entitled brat, to bring the dogs to his audition.

I really really love Tori, though. She is so cute and charming. Such a positive attitude. I am really rooting for her.

That financial planner guy was a dick.

Poor Tori! Pregnancy does not agree with her. Geesh. Was it only me or did it seem like her top lip did not move? Something weird was going on there.

I don't know much about Dean but didn't he have a pregnant girlfriend/wife when he met Tori? Or a baby that was just born? Everytime he was oohing and aahing over the baby to be I kept wondering if he has anything to do with the one he already has. Or maybe I'm just mistaken about the whole thing.

No you're right he was married before. Now I think he's more of a jerk for leaving her and those kids. Dude my crush is so over.

He seem sort of ass-holey in the ep., Tori was trying to act happy and in love and he was just a killjoy. He was a total crab-ass at the sale. I don't see what Tori sees in him.



...and then making it the problem for the receptionist. He should have gave her some money for watching the dogs. Why didn't he leave them with Tori? It looked like there was plenty of room in that doggy buggy (wtf was that?) for them.

I think Tori looks cute pregnant. As for her face, that is what it is, she has had so much plastic surgery. I thought it was funny when she said that she can't remember what her real nose looks like. She is to good for him.

I loved this show. I will definitely be tuning back in. I've always like Tori and found her to be especially infectious to the point where I'd like to go check out her B&B (not too far from where I live) even though I abhor the idea of sharing bathrooms, etc.

I didn't think Dean was too bad. He seemed to be understanding of how difficult it was for her to part with items from her past, more glamorous life, but yeah, he did not exactly seem to be a ball of laughs either.

Hey, transforming oneself via plastic surgery into a llama/blowfish hybrid costs some serious cash.

Wow, I really liked this show. I've been feeling the Tori love ever since she shamelessly mocked herself on So Notorious and she actually seems like a fun person. I do think it was weird in the beginning and they were talking about "love at first sight" but they conveniently left out the parts about being married to other people.

Dean seems to be just kind of a zero, personality-wise. But he's pretty.

So she's a little funnier -- at her own expense -- than I expected. He, however, is skeevy.

I don't get the constant refrain that they're "reinventing" the B&B. It's an Inn, not a breakthru antibiotic.

But....fine, I didn't watch the show (my skin was crawling too much at the thought, besides the Real Housewives reunion show was on at the same time and I don;t have a tivo) but I did go to the Tori blog and there was this looooong list of everyone she wanted to thank for helping/donating stuff to their cute lil B&B. The list was as long as my arm. Both of my arms. Both of my arms and both of my legs. It looked like every damn thing in the place, up to and including the paint on the walls, the dishes--everything was donated by every company you've ever heard of. Oh, and what's his name Adler, top judge on Top Design was given design credit for the look of the place as well. They didn't even pick the paint chips.

Yes, of course their generous helpers did it for the free publicity, but what, exactly did these two kids do to get it up and running? Hire people? Call in favors? Promise a mention in the credits?

I'm not really seeing this as a plucky, 'let's start an Inn because we just love each other to death and we love to have people around' kind of thing.

I'm thinking more, let's think of an idea for a quasi-reality show, cash in and laugh all the way to the bank.

I was surprised to find out that they were leasing a house. Like why wouldn't she have purchased one or at least had her parents buy her one years ago? Or did she used to own one and then couldn't afford to live in it?

I assume she still gets residual checks from 90210. I hope she does. If Nurse Wendy from Season 1 of ER can still get them, Tori for sure has to be getting them. She was on the show every season.

I don't know why, but I felt really bad for her. I don't really know all the stuff that happened between her mother and her, but I do remember her accusing her mom of having an inappropriate relationship with some guy while her father was still alive. Not that she is entitled to the money or anything, but I think her mother should have given her more money than she did. Is the brother still in good terms with mom or Tori? I see he has a new show coming out next month. Maybe he needs the money too. My only guess is that when mom kicks the bucket, both kids will get what ever is left.

Did anyone else notice at the end of the episode where Tori and Dean we having a "romantic" dinner after their estate sale that Tori appeared to be drinking a glass of wine? Or was I the only one who saw that? The bottle definitely did not look like a bottle of Sparkling Cider.

Tori seems to like to take digs at her mom on camera. When she said that she hoped that the baby would be a girl but then again not because she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past (I assuming with her own mom). I am a little skeptical that this current peace treaty that they have will last very long.

And the Dean bringing the dogs to audition was obiviously staged. He could have left them at the house. C'mon. And I am sorry but the whole taking slap shots with the hockey stick and dog poo was absolutely DISGUSTING!! Why don't they take $20 from that yard sale go down to PetSmart and buy a pooper scooper? I will send them mine if they promise to never show that scene again.

So how did her inheritance work? Did her mom get to decide who got what or something? I thought she was on good terms with her dad so I wonder what happened there.
Maybe if she makes nice with her mom, at some point in the future she'll give her a few million.
Must be nice to be broke and still be able to just go and buy several $1500 shirts without batting an eyelash.
I never thought of residual checks. I never really watched ER but I wonder how much nurse Wendy gets?

What happened was that her father, in his senile state, rewrote his will, with Tori's mom Candy at his side, whereby he only left Tori $800,000. Therefore, there is a very valid question to be raised regarding Candy's undue influence. Tori, to her credit, has not, at least that I'm aware of, appealed the will in probate court. It seems that she just wants to move on with her life and not make an ugly court battle be a part of Aaron's legacy, which I find very admirable. I can't say that I wouldn't fight the will.

I would have liked her and wished them the best, however I can't get over that they both met and entered a relationship while they were married to other people. That Dean has a son with his first wife and they had just adopted a baby girl when he left her. He even told her that he was soo in love with and proud of her right before working with Tori. Then after they got together and ditched their spouses, Tori had Dean's first wife thrown out of the MuchMusic awards and made a mean comment about her on-stage. They act like their child is his first.

Also, if soo many items were donated by all those companies for their B&B, then obviosuly they didn't do it like your normal average couple would. It irks me that Tori tries to come off so everyday and like she's soo broke, yet buys $1500 clothes and such. That's why your in debt!

Whenever I see T&D together I think Dean's expression looks like Ben Affleck's did when he was with JLo ~ tight + solemn = trapped...

Tori seems to be trying too hard to seem like they are soo in love and have the perfect relationship. However, he always looks and acts pissed, frustrated, disillusioned, and disappointed with how things are. He looks at her like he is annoyed while she looks at him like he is amazing!

Better to be "trapped" with JLo than with Tori, says I.

Dean was definitely drinking red wine. That's the bottle that was sitting there. Tori was drinking out of a wine glass, but it was something orange. There was a very quick tighter shot of Tori where you could see a smaller clear individual bottle sitting on the table. I figured it was orange soda or some other kind of fruit drink.

You would be too if you left your wife to marry Tori Spelling whose dad is on his sick bed and worth gazillion dollars that she stands to inherit after he passes only to find out that after he passed she only got an allegded $800k. And now he's stuck with her and realizes how annoying, naive, and spoiled she can be. So, now you have to wait who knows how long for the monster-in-law, Candy, to kick the bucket in hopes of cashing in on her will provided that she and Tori can keep the peace until then.

If you ask me I think creepy-looks-like-a-serial-killer Dean knocked Tori up as an extra insurance policy because surely grandmama Candy will leave something the next Spelling heir.

Exactly! Her situation reminds me of Julia Roberts and Danny Moder, which is why I haven't been much of a Roberts fan since.

From what I remember Aaron and Candy really liked Tori's first husband, Charlie Shanian....when Tori broke up/divorced him for Dean they took it very hard; hence the estrangement began.

If I recall correctly her marriage to Charlie was in trouble before Dean ever came along. I remember Tori acting slutty at the Kentucky Derby a couple of years ago when she was married to Charlie. Charlie pulled to the side and read her the riot act becuase of the way she was acting. I remember that she licked somebody celebrity's hand in a disgusting preverted manner and was dancing tables in her dress and he embrassed the mess out of poor Charlie. That wasn't the first incident but it was close to next to the last straw. I think the Dean affair was the last straw.

Me thinks not! I'd pick Tori any day over the diva. Anyone who can make fun of themselves is okay in my book.



I'm pretty sure her reps denied having her thrown out. But the comment wasn't that mean.

From Wiki:



Normally, I get disguisted with men who step out on their wives (having been one of the wives stepped out on) and honestly I didn't know much about Tori Spelling until I watched her E! THS. But she completley won me over by the constantly making fun of herself but she was pretty unapologetic about leaving Charlie for Dean. She basically believes that Dean is her soulmate and said something along the lines of "I met my soulmate and I don't believe that because I was with someone else I shouldn't be with the person I'm supposed to be with." It's semi circular logic, but it really impressed me.

Candy Spelling just set up a 20 million dollar trust fund for the kid. I think that's going to be the only way that he sees any money. I also remember hearing stories that Candy and Aaron warned Charlie of Tori's behavior before he married her. Charlie seemed like a nice guy who married a selfish pain and luckily got out. I do see some of the same Ben Affleck look too. He made his bed and will have to live with it to be in the spotlight. I noticed that he hasn't gotten any TV movies since marrying Tori. Seems like he was hoping for a career windfall that hasn't happened and never will.

Yeah, and wasn't Candy Spelling a lot younger than Aaron? IIRC, she's still a middle-aged woman who could live for another 30 or 40 years. Any possible inheritance could be a very long way off.

IMO, there is no such thing as "not that mean" when you chose to make negative comments about the wife whose husband you carried on a public affair with.

If finding one's soulmate involves tearing apart a family with small children, then one can noly hope that the "fates" that brought these two "souls" together deals them a good dose of hard reality. I'd say it's already started. And given the history of reality tv marriages/relationships, Chaotic 2.0 here has started the countdown clock on soulmate armaghedon.

Just finally watched the first episode. Eh. I loved So NoTorious and thought she was hilarious but in this one--not so much. I got tired of the baby voice she used and I didn't have much pity on her for not investing any of the money she's earned. I think she mentioned something like "All of my friends bought houses and I bought 100 sweaters from Barney's" Well, that was dumb.

Also, the whole "I only got $800,000" song is getting a little tired. Randy Spelling also only received $800,000 and I doubt very much he was also sleeping with Dean so I think this was less of a personal dig against Tori and more of a "The kids get $800,000" It's not like Aaron didn't give her every opportunity to make her own fortune in the world.

ITA! I wonder if Tori will feel the same way if Dean cheats on her and leaves her. Hope he tells her that he found his soul-mate and that just because he is with her doesn't mean he shouldn't go be with his soulmate. See how understanding she is and see how she likes it!

Also, no, she is not your average Jane no matter how hard she tries to sell that story. She did not do it all by herself, no matter what she likes to think. Would she have her jewerly line if she hadn't been the daughter of Aaron Spelling? How likely would it be that she would be a famous actress if she wasn't the daughter of Aaron Spelling? Would all those companies have thrown her the shower and donated so many products to the B&B? Would her garage sale be as sucessful? I vote no! She has connections and knowledge that she wouldn't have had otherwise. If she can spend $1500 on a shirt, then she is not "poor."

She is alot more useless and spoiled then she likes to think too! If she has never washed a dish like her friend implied, if she can't budget, if she can't run/plan for a garage sale without having to stop and go shopping, then Tori needs to stop trying to tell people she is miss independent and isn't spoiled!

I don't care how much money your father earned - $800,000 is a lot of money. They're adults who should look at the money as a nest egg. Go out and get a real job and let the inheritence earn money for your retirement. What a selfish couple of cheaters they are.

Really. An $800,000 legacy, wisely handled, could allow me to live free of worry for the rest of my life. Even if Tori can't see that, Dean (who I'm assuming was raised in the real world)should be able to.

Okay, not that I feel sorry for Tori only getting 800,000, but does it make sense that her child will have a 20 million dollar trust fund? Why wouldn't Aaron's actual children get that much as well? Again--not feeling pity for Tori, but with Aaron being as rich as he was and with them basically spoiling their children at their own will--why are they left with little when he dies, and then Tori's child gets the huge trust fund? I don't really get it...I never understood why Tori and Randy got so little in the first place. You have your children grow up in a huge mansion, buy them everything, etc, and then suddenly you want to make them learn to live differently after the father dies?

Actually skipping a generation with inheritances isn't all the uncommon and there are a couple of reasons. First of all, I believe that there are tax benefits to putting assets in trust (though I'm no expert). It also depends on how the trusts are set up. If it's, say, a spendthrift thrust, that means that the kid can't just piss it all away on '100 sweaters from Barney's' or seven Mazaratti's. If it's an educational trust, the money can only be used for educational reasons --though they can get vague--a trip to Europe? Sure, that's educational. A new computer? Why not? There's some control when some one else holds the purse strings and, hopefully, a sense of proportion because the money faucet is controlled by a Trustee. Beyond that, especially with self made people (like Aaron Spelling), much as they may love and spoil their kids, they recognize that giving the kid a free ride for life isn't doing them any favors. I point out idiots like Brandon Davis and anyone he hangs out with as an example.

And yes, $800K isn't chump change to anyone with a brain in their heads, no matter how big the cow that gave that particular bucket of milk was.

And in fact Ms Tori is cashing in on Dad's legacy--she has a job (such as it is in a reality show), she has name recognition and she has earning power, all courtesy of Daddy.

That cow inherited plenty.

On the latest episode, I was completely disgusted with Dean feeling up Tori. The stories about how Tori thought her baby died inside her were pretty funny but maybe I'm evil for laughing.
