Spelling and McDermott created the show and serve as executive producers alongside Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato of World of Wonder Productions.

Spelling recently launched her new online magazine and community ediTORIal by Tori Spelling (www.ToriSpelling.com). On the site the mother of three (soon to be four) shares her tips and tricks on being a successful working mother and learning how to juggle life, love, style and family. In February 2011, Spelling and McDermott opened their retail store InvenTORI (www.inventori.com), in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles. The store features many of Tori’s precious antiques, and lifestyle elements such as home, kitchen, bath, garden, children, and pet products. Spelling is also an accomplished author. She released her first children’s book Presenting … Tallulah in September 2010. Taking cues from her own childhood, this book tells the sweet tale of a young girl who really just wants to be herself. Spelling and illustrator Vanessa Brantley Newton bring to life the story of a spunky little girl who, with the help of some special friends, is able to discover exactly who she is. Spelling’s first memoir sTORI Telling was published in March 2008 and debuted at #3 on the New York Times Best Seller List and in September 2008, sTORI Telling moved to #1 on the list. The memoir is based on her truly unique life and provides an irreverent look at her family and childhood, marriages, motherhood, and all that stems from a private life made public. Spelling’s second memoir, Mommywood also debuted on the New York Times Best Seller List and focuses on her life as a mother. In June 2010, Spelling published her third memoir, uncharted terriTORI and became a three time New York Times bestselling author. Uncharted terriTORI shares Tori’s unique and very public life and misadventures—complete with growing children, daredevil husband Dean, a tight circle of friends, welcome and invasive cameras, and an infamous mother— with humor and candor. Spelling’s most recent book, CelebraTORI offers tips and advice for throwing a fabulous (and affordable) party as only Tori Spelling can. Tori shows readers the ins-and-outs of entertaining for all occasions, with her signature wit, charm, and chic style. A beautiful four-color book, CelebraTORI is filled with instructional and inspirational photos, along with tips, advice, and anecdotes. Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books imprint will also publish another memoir with Spelling, along the lines of her bestselling books, sTORI Telling, Mommywood, and Uncharted TerriTORI, that will let readers share her unique and very public life, complete with growing kids, daredevil husband, and tight circle of friends. The currently untitled memoir is scheduled for publication in 2013. In 2009 Spelling reprised her role as Donna Martin in the CW spinoff series 90210 and guest starred on the CW’s hit series “Smallville” where she portrayed a gossip columnist. She starred in the comedy series, “So NoTORIous” on VH1 and served as an executive producer on the scripted comedy, loosely based on her life. She also starred in the Los Angeles stage production of the highly acclaimed “Maybe Baby, It's You.” In the two-person show, Spelling portrayed eleven different characters.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Psychology learns about the function of physic of healthy people, the relation between people behavior and the other human. Related to psychology, every person has a different character or personality, but a person has a good personality not evil. There is a person who has two personalities; in psychology, it is called Split Personality. Dealing the Split Personality and literature, there are some of the literary works using the theme about dual nature personality or split personality. Psychology is also helpful for you to observe the mention of each character and their behavior psychology, individual psychology, social psychology and psychoanalysis. Split Personality is a relatively rare dissociative disorder in which usual integrity of the personality breaks down and two or more independent personalities emerge. The term Split Personality refers to unrelated disorder in which the split (separation) is between thought, feelings, and patterns of behavior (hhtp://ezinearticles.com/?split- personality…Amyth-or-a reality?&id=45153). Split Personality is included an abnormal behavior, so it needs primary treatments. The primary treatment is psychotherapy to help the individual integrate the separate personalities. 1 The cause of Split Personality is not clearly understood, but the condition seems almost variably to be associated with severe physical abase and neglect in childhood. The disorder often occurs in childhood, but may not be recognized until much later. Psychological and social impairment ranges from mild to severe. Wellek and Warren (1956: 90) state that the process of author’s creation is the legitimate objects of the psychologist investigation.

  • Tori Spelling Slams Rumors That She Is Divorcing Dean Mcdermott
    Celebrity Couple: Tori Spelling Slams Rumors That She Is Divorcing Dean McDermott By Jessica Conigliaro Tori Spelling reached her boiling point after Star Magazine claimed that she is divorcing her husband, Dean McDermott–a nasty rumor that upset her entire family. Her 5-year-old son Liam saw the headlines at the grocery store, prompting him to anxiously ask, “Why is someone getting us? Where are you and Dad going?” The Beverly Hills, 90210 star wrote an open letter in response to the lies about her marriage, Us Weekly reports. “This time I had to comment because this time I’m answering not as a celebrity but as a mom,” Spelling, 39, wrote in frustration. What are some ways to protect your relationship from hurtful rumors? Cupid’s Advice: When you start dating someone new, all of your friends seem to have a strong opinion. You share some details about the new man in your life to one or two of your closest friends, and soon enough, they’re playing the telephone game and twisting the truth into lies. Cupid’s here to offer some tips on how to deal with these rumors. 1. Ignore the smaller rumors: You tell your best friend that your date cracked a harmless joke at your expense the other night. Next thing you know, everyone thinks your new man said something that made you cry at dinner. First, be sure to tell him about the rumor so he doesn’t hear it from someone else. Then, let it pass. You both know the truth, and that’s all that matters.

  • Josie and the Pussycats: Commercialism and Synthetic Social Identity
    Josie and the Pussycats: Commercialism and Synthetic Social Identity By Adam Gustafson In this 2001 film, Josie and her band find themselves caught in a whirlwind ascension to the top of the popular music world. Along the way they find that their record label, Mega Records, has been using them in order to brainwash the youths of the world into hyper- consuming machines. Ultimately, Josie defeats the record label and goes on to urge fans of the Pussycats to like them for who they are.1 The irony is that while the plot preaches a stay-true-to- you attitude, the film contains overt product placement to the point of being absurd. In essence, the film does exactly what its protagonists are fighting against. As light as Josie and the Pussycats might be, the film points out larger issues occurring within the realm of popular media. These issues relate to the concepts of hyper-consumption, lifestyle marketing, and social identity. Popular media has positioned itself so that the aesthetic aim of the artwork is eliminated in favor of what is perceived to be a personal relationship with real people. However, the popular artwork has actually become an advertisement that is meant to do more than sell the symbols that allow for inclusion in and identification with a particular lifestyle. The rap song, the horror movie, MTV, poetry by pop artists, and every form of television are marketed in such a way as to promote a specific lifestyle while blurring the distinction between the real and unreal, the artwork and the advertisement, with the aim of creating synthetic social relationships between the consumer and the events occurring within the realm of popular mediums.
