Tori Spelling's Father Knows Best
By Daniel R. Coleridge
So you thought Tori Spelling's TV career ended when her decade-long stint on Beverly Hills, 90210 did? Uh-uh, kids. Now, she's signed on to star in and produce her own NBC sitcom pilot. A script for the as-yet-untitled comedy is even being penned by Roseanne and Ellen scribe Lawrence Broch. But surely her TV producer papa, Aaron Spelling, must be involved somehow... "Must be?!" protests Mr. Spelling. "It's not one of my shows, 'cause of just what you said. When you say it must be, that must mean she can't work for anybody else 'cause she can't get a job — and that's just not true. Oh boy! No, no, no, she won't work for me. I don't blame her. She takes so much flak, golly."
