Tori Spellings baby shower turned into a paparazzi frenzy. As I write this, Spelling is holding court at her baby shower at Elixir, a funky tea and tonic café and shop in L.A.s West Hollywood neighborhood.
"The paparazzi are all over the front of the place," an eyewitness reports.
But the shutterbugs werent the only ones shooting Spelling & Co. I hear that camera crews from Spelling and hubby Dean McDermotts upcoming reality show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, have also filmed the festivities.
The new show follows their decision to use Spellings $800,000 inheritance from her late dad, Aaron, to buy and then run a bed-and-breakfast in southern California. The series premieres March 21 on the Oxygen network.
As I was the first to report earlier this week about Spelling and McDermotts shower plans, the get-together was co-ed and hosted by Tupperware.
Among the 50 or so guests were Spellings 90210 chum Jennie Garth and Loni Anderson, her TV mom from So noTORIous. Spellings real-life estranged mother, Candy, did not attend.
The menu included mini corndogs, cheeseburgers, and tuna melts, pigs in a blanket and blueberry lemonade, according to a source.
Im told everyone is receiving blue gift bags stuffed with about $600 worth of merchandise like Kamasutra weekend Love Kits containing bottles of massage oils, Belly Bars, Michael Star t-shirts, pearl bracelets from www.pearlparadise.com, novelty books Haiku Mama and Penis Pokey, and, of course, Tupperware products
The bags were apparently put together by The Silver Spoon, the entertainment marketing company co-founded by Spellings longtime friend, Melissa Lemer. No surprise here, but Spelling is the first mommy-to-be to receive baby fashions from Lemers new The Silver Spoon Baby collection. Lemer apparently gifted Spelling with a newborn set that includes a onesie, a bib, and t-shirts. The line actually doesnt launch until next week at the Project Trade Show in Las Vegas.
Spelling and McDermott have confirmed they are having a boy. Spelling is said to be due at the end of March.
