(Feb. 21) - Tori Spelling is ready to bring secrets from the set of 'Beverly Hills 90210,' private thoughts on her relationship with her late father and details on how she fell for her husband in a new memoir titled 'sTori Telling." The latest PEOPLE, hitting newsstands this week, has exclusive excerpts.

On 'Beverly Hills, 90210'

- I had an insta-crush on Brian Austin Green. Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth and I became friends ... I cheated on [my first boyfriend] by hooking up with my costar Brian. Brian was the only guy on the show my age. We had something going (or not going) over the years we worked together. We were always fighting, making up, having fun, and hating each other. We were just young.

Where Are They Now?

90210 Cast Where Are They NowWhat are Spelling's '90210' pals up to these days? We've got the scoop on Jason Priestly, Shannen Doherty and the rest of the gang.
· '90210' Cast Then & Now

- The center of this high school clique was Shannen and Jennie. Shannen had everything, but she could be arrogant and carefree. Jennie was outspoken when she thought Shannen was out of line. Sometimes they got along, but there were explosions. Once, they got into a fistfight ... For the most part, the cast and crew functioned as a close family. And in the course of the ten years the show was on the air, everyone in the cast pretty much slept with everyone else. We all would laugh about it years later.

On Meeting Future Husband Dean McDermott

- I'd been instantly attracted to men before, but this was different. It was love at first sight. I fell so hard ... I thought that was adorable. Then I noticed he had a wedding ring. When someone asked, he pulled out photos of his children. And -- oh, yeah -- I had a husband too. It was fun to flirt, but I knew nothing would happen ... But: Dean and I went to a bar after dinner. And we spent the night at the Cartier Place. The following day when I woke up next to Dean, I had no regrets. Something was really wrong with my marriage. Not only because I slept with this guy—though that certainly wasn't a positive sign—but because I didn't regret it.

On Breaking the News About Dean to Husband Charlie Shanian

- I told him that I'd never been in love with him. I loved him and he'd been a friend to me, but I married him because he was a great guy, a guy who took care of me. Charlie didn't want to hear it. He kept saying, "Where's all this coming from? We have a perfect relationship." Then he turned to me. "Did you cheat on me?" I said yes. He said, "It was with Dean, wasn't it?" I said yes. He said, "I should have known."

On Plastic Surgery

- If knew the styles were going to be the way they are now, I wouldn't have gotten my boobs done in the '90s. The clothes now wear so much better when you're smaller. In the '90s it was all about big boobs in halter tops.

It's sad to see someone proud of what they should be ashamed of. What what reversed morals.

Isnt she just a wonderful example of what every mother wants in a daughter? Ya Right! Unattractive even with plastic surgery, millions of dollars wasted on no talent and oh ya...no morals either. Typical example of another Hollowood tramp. Proves one point, You cant make a silk purse out of a pig ear!

Another "Tell All" from another no talent dolt.

Who cares? Why is this even wasting space on the information super highway. I feel like an idiot and like I lost part of my life by reading and responding to this article. At I least I did it at work and got paid. Some actually made money interveiwing her on how she broke her wedding vows. Does any oath someone makes mean anything. you all need to get a life and so do I. I will make an oath I am going to figure out how to get AOL off as my homepage, and promise not to waste any more of my precious time on this earth on things like. Follow the election, go help someone,educate yourself and we have all this information available to us and we this is what we look at. Good bye Ill keep my vow.

It never ceases to amaze me how wrapped up people get in the lives and philosophies of Hollywood inhabitants. Stars, starlets and wannabes should not be considered role models for moral and ethical living. There have been and are some exceptions--stars who view themselves as simple, ordinary folks, no different from anyone else working for a living. A few have been married to the same person for many years.

Stars from early eras like James Stewart and Bob Hope, for example, were married for over 40 years to the same woman. A baby boomer, I have a difficult time naming stars who either have been in long term relationships or married for more than 15 years. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, although not married, have had a long term, devoted relationship for over 25 years. John Travolta has been married to the same woman for over 15 years. Denzel Washington has been married to the same woman long term. So has Bill Cosby. But off the top of my head I cannot recall many other recen

People in hollywood treat marriage like a revolving door. I truly belive that sometime we make mistakes and we dont KNOW why we do it but sometimes i think people are just selfish and destructive and knwo they hurt others but dont care! But they WILL get what they deserve! Angelina stole Brad, Tori stole Dean...do u reall think these marriages will be blessed? I would NOT wanna piss off God by being the interlope in a marriage! Nothing good comes from being "the other woman or man". Tori didnt regret her affair bc she was selfish and only cared about her happiness...what about DEANS his wife and children?DEAN had a duty to his wife AND had Tori been happily married she'd be pissed at someone's else pursuit of her husband whether they were having issues or not! I have never liked her bc she was a no talent who got onto BH90210 bc of her dad and it was sad to see here flop around on the screen like a fish out of her element! She has yet to do anything but ride on the coat tails of BH9021

Could there be anyone less talented or hideously deformed as Tori Spelling? Seeing her bray while she gallops down Rodeo Dr is just too much for me to deal with.
