I'm sorry, I actually laughed during So NoTORIous

tori spelling; so notoriousSome people love it, some people loathe it, but VH1's block of CelebReality shows must be doing pretty good ratings-wise for the channel, because they are constantly adding new programs to the lineup. While I do enjoy Best Week Ever and the occasional episodes of Hogan Knows Best and Surreal Life, I can't say that I'm really hooked on any of the shows, Lord help me, until now.

The newest addition to the VH1 family, So NoTORIous, stars Tori Spelling as Tori Spelling and is an odd little blending of sitcom and reality. She pokes fun of herself, her life, her insanely powerful father and eccentric mother non-stop, and I loved every second of it. I have a soft spot in my heart for celebrities that don't take themselves seriously and have no problems with making fun of themselves (David Hasselhoff, William Shatner, Pamela Anderson, etc).

There was news recently that Tori's parents are considering suing her in real life because of her jabs at her mother's eBay addiction on the show, so one could probably assume that this is probably hitting a "little too close to home." It's been a while since I've kicked back with Aaron Spelling, so I'm not sure if he's still that way, but I'd venture to say yes. I do know that I'll be tuning in every week to see how the former Beverly Hills princess fairs out in the real world.

To Mary Roberts comment #14, your comment about Tori's face totally digusts me and I am sick of people thinking that everyone has to be perfect in every way. Tori has a beautiful personality and great body and yes, a pretty face and just because her face isn't up to your standards doesn't mean that she needs a facial make-over. You need to learn how to look deeper into people's beauty. I loved the show and it was very funny and good for her for ignoring the superficial remarks such as yours. She knows she's beautiful and that's what counts. If we were all the same it would be a boring world...embrace the differences. When you learn how to see the beauty in others that's when you will learn how to enjoy & appreciate others.

Ever since her hilarious turn in "House of Yes" with Parker Posey, I knew Tori was a gal with guts and a great sense of humor. Loved the show and also how about Loni Anderson as her crazy mother! Can't wait for the new episodes!

I agree, I think Tori has guts to do a show like this. However,the message boards on VH1 for SoNoTORIous are down right disgusting. Some of the people who are giving their mean opinions of Tori need to get a life. They are fowl mouthed,rude and jealous. There is a difference between giving a negative opinion about somone and their show, and just attacking someone's personal being and trying to bring them down.

It just goes to show you that just because you are perceived as a Hollywood princess does nt mean that you have to act like one all of the time. After all, how many female actors would do it on a weekly basis and not just a "one shot" like SNL. Congradulations Tori and keep up the good work.

I can honestly say that I love her new show. When 90210 I was too young to watch, but people always poked fun of her acting. I find her show to be very funny and I look foward to watching it Sundays to laugh at her attempt to establish an acting career on her own. Also her best friend..the gay one....He's really cute.
Keep on doing your thing Tory.

I've never been much of a Tori Spelling fan but I found this show to be very entertaining. I never expected to laugh so much. I'm telling my friends they should watch. It's a nice change from the network comedies.
