Tori Spelling Talks Motherhood

Tori Spelling has alot on her plate lately; she is starring in Smallville when it returns in March, she is filming episodes of 90210, and she has a new book coming out in April called Mommywood. She is also a wife to Dean McDermott and has two kids, Liam, 2, and Stella, 8 months. How does this girl do it all?

lil Sugar sat down with Tori at the Huggies Pull-Ups event in New York on Thursday and asked her a couple of questions about balancing attention between the two kids and being back on the 90210 set.

On how she balances her attention between her children: It really helps to have a partner who is just as hands on, because then we’re both available at any given time. At the end of the day, you only have two hands, you have two children and two hands and someone needs to get fed and someone needs to get changed. Liam, at this point, needs more attention and Stella is just getting into the mode where she needs to be stimulated more . . . she needs activity. She is obsessed with Liam so I often find if I can do something in the room where he can walk around, he can play, and she can be in her exersaucer. She sees him doing things and she’s learning from him and they both feel like they get the attention. I sing songs, I put their names in, and I always . . . I call them monkey and ladybug . . . and then la, la, la Monkey and then la, la, la Ladybug and then la, la, la Monkey so no one feels like their name is coming last.

On the difference of conversation with costar Jennie Garth: Its funny, when we first filmed the series, we were really young girls and I remember at the time, we were in our late teens, we’d be talking about the boys and the stuff girls talk about in their late teens, early 20s. And now, we’re still giggly like school girls on set, but whenever there’s a break we’re just swapping baby stories and I’m constantly with my Blackberry., I have all of my pictures, like, “Look at Stella yesterday.” “There’s Stella eating breakfast.” You’re just obsessed and then I’m like, “Oh My God, am I like ranting on and showing her pictures of my babies?” And she’s like, “Are you kidding, this is my world!” “I’m like, you’re right.” We can go on for hours.
