Tori Spelling's 'Mommywood' Saves You From Reading

I’m not sure if spinoff is the right word here, but for lack of a better one I’m going with it. Oxygen just launched a ten-episode Tori Spelling spinoff web series, Mommywood, today as an online extension her popular TV series Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.

It’s actually Oxygen’s first-ever original web series, which comes as somewhat of a surprise. I’d expect to see several more coming from the pop-women’s network.

Also surprising is the fact that the Mommywood book, which came out back in April, is still #1 on Amazon right now for all entertainment biographies. Bios of Paul Newman and Michael J. Fox aren’t even close. So I suppose the web series will drive book sales, though after watching this series I’m not sure what you could have missed.
