Tori Spelling has pulled out of the new 'Beverly Hills, 90210' spin-off show.
The 35-year-old actress, who announced earlier this year she was planning to reprise her role as Donna Martin, has now reneged on her deal after a reported dispute with producers over her salary.
Tori was said to be "furious" after learning her co-stars Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth would be earning between $35,000 and $50,000 an episode, while she would be paid $10,000 to $20,000.
An insider said: "Tori thought she deserved parity, and she's got a point."
Tori's representative did not comment on the salary reports, but confirmed: "At this time, there are no plans for Tori to appear in the 90210 spin-off."
When rumours surfaced about the new show, mother-of-two Tori revealed she was "excited" about the series, adding: "In some way, every show that followed 90210 was a remake of 90210. For the fans' sake, I am really happy for them."
Tori's late father Aaron Spelling produced the original hit 90s TV show.

90210 without Tori? No way! Can't believe they would choose to include Shannen Doherty over her.
