Tori Spelling Steps Into Pregnancy Photo Spread Spotlight, Minus Glossy Magazine Covers And Public Interest

Major names like Britney Spears and Demi Moore have memorably posed for controversial pregnancy pictures in the past, but something tells us Tori Spelling's decision to bare her knocked up belly won't stir up quite as many arguments. It's pretty simple: we don't want. While shooting her (yes, it still exists) B&B reality show with hubby Dean McDermott, the unlucky quasi-heiress made a sad attempt to imitate Demi's Annie Leibowitz shoot for Vanity Fair and Britney's uber-styled photos in Harper's Bazaar. Unfortunately, the results look more like what you'd expect from your local mall photographer as opposed to the star treatment given to glossy cover-worthy celebrities of yore. A closer look, plus Tori's explanation of why she's Loving! Her! Body! after the jump.

As you can see, Tori apparently enlisted the help of no one but herself in concocting this backyard photo shoot. The chipped manicure and flat-ironed mess of a hairdo suggest Spelling simply woke up last week and decided she wouldn't let her failed attempts at sparking any fashion magazines' editorial interest stand in the way of her gorgeous pregnancy picture dreams. As Tori told Us, "So far I've gained 25 pounds and am loving my body...now I know that it is possible to get back your body with diet and dedication." While we suspect none other than hubby Dean took these photos (at no charge), we do enjoy seeing a smile on Donna Martin's face. Fingers crossed that she pushes that kid out in time to realize her 90210 comeback dreams.

At least the belly draws attention away from her face, which is a Versace/Wildenstein in training.

I guess "Tori and Dean: Inn Love" will be back again?

Don't hate me, but I don't hate her. I thought her show (NoTORIous)was pretty funny.

"...25 pounds"? And just what does the scale say when you put your other foot on the scale, Tori?

In pregnancy, she simply looks like a toad who swallowed some mega-sized insect and/or rodent instead of simply a toad.

@PandoraSpocks:
did you see her in "50 Ways To Leve Your Lover" with that chick from Kissing Jessica Stein? She was pretty funny in that, too.

But this is not appealing. Pregnant women, you are gorgeous and glowy and all --TO THE GUY WHO KNOCKED YOU UP. MAYBE. Now please, all of you, put on something roomy and ruffled and GO AWAY for nine months!!!!
And this from a woman who gave birth to two kids!!!!!

@lizzybennet: Hi! Which chick from Kissing Jessica Stein - the full-on black-haired lesbian or Jennifer Westfeldt? If it's the latter, I need to immediately rent the movie you're talking about. I am one of approximately eleven Jennifer Westfeldt fanatics, and will see anything and everything she's ever been in. Let me know, pretty please.

Enough with the "pregnant man" pics already! It's been a week now — don't you think it's time to give it a rest?

@Molly Friedman: Is Westfeldt the one who's dating my future husband, Mr. Jon Hamm? If so, I'm afraid I will have to destroy her. Sorries!

@IBentMyWookie: She is, in fact, dating your dreamboat, but please just schedule some time to rent Kissing Jessica Stein. Once the movie is through, you'll feel much better about your crush's choice in arm candy. She's Annie Hall for the next generation.

Tori, you are making me forgive you just a little bit less for So NoTORIous and the Scream 2 cameo. And the joke on So NoTORIous about Scream 2.

Memba when she was dating Telly Sevalas's son? Well I stepped on his toe whilst in line waiting for an alcoholic beverage and she was a very sweet person. So was he. They were cool.
I think she's a lot more down to earth (as best she could be given all considerations) than people give her credit for.

Come on -- she didn't even get the big money from her Dad's estate. She can't help her features or her place on the feeding chain of fame. Al things considered, she's a lot better than need be. And I liked NoTORIous.

A conundrum: as an actress Tori Spelling is more popular with gay people, this photo of her turned me instantly gay, and yet I still don't want to watch her act.

This is just too sad. I've always known that she go to the opening of an envelope, but please-- pimping out your belly for USmag is bordering on the grim.

It's considered a natural law in Hollywood that fame is like strip poker, losing a hand doesn't necessarily lose you the game.

Ok, yes, she has the face of a dairy calf, but I have to give props-- the girl whipped her body back in shape after baby #1, and from everything I've read and seen about her, the girl is remarkably down-to-earth for someone who was born with more money than god. (Compare her with Paris Hilton for Pete's sake.) That said, I don't want to see any woman's pregnant belly.

Local mall photography, indeed. Bet she enjoyed a nice Orange Julius after that shoot.

Jon Hamm was a bumbling idiot on Bill Maher. I had to rethink him all over.

Isn't anyone bothered by the fact that Tori stole her husband from another woman and then mocked the ex-wife on television?

As someone who was subjected to the ex-wife in question on Canadian tv for several years, I can say "no." She is a banshee from the very bowels of hell.
