She was television\'s most famous virgin--and, as Aaron Spelling\'s daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character\'s exploits.

Yawn. Not only is this another celebrity ‘tell all’ but it’s a celebrity who is famous only because of her famous father.

The article opens with, “Among the scandals addressed: plastic surgery, a passionless marriage and trouble with her mother. Spelling spills even more secrets with USA TODAY.”

Some of the things she mentions is the sex that went on among cast members of 90210, and how she cheated on her husband.

The last question of the interview goes, “Q: You confess to sleeping with your current husband, Dean, on the first night you spent with him, while you were still married to your first husband, Charlie. Do you hope Charlie will read this book?

A: I do. We never really had closure, so maybe it would help him understand better where I was coming from. I never went into deep explanations about why the relationship didn't work. Maybe this will help. You don't want to read that in a book, but that's the way it goes.”

Wow. And that’s the way it goes. What was that thing about publishers not wanting to take on talented writers again?
