As if being magically held afloat by her most recent surgical enhancements, nothing seems to bring Hollywood's favorite daddy's girl Tori Spelling down. With her new self-mocking series so noTORIous premiering this Sunday on VH1, today's LAT profiles the much maligned actress, with her showrunners practically falling all over themselves heaping their star with praise:

If they had thought about Spelling at all before meeting her, Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler held a largely unfavorable view of the actress based on scuttlebutt. But their opinions changed after seeing her performances in two independent movies released in the late '90s, "Trick" and "The House of Yes." "She wasn't as bad as everyone said. I actually kind of liked her," Alberghini said. [...]

"I take people at their word," Chessler said. "Tori said nothing would be off limits, so I figured nothing would be off limits. Tori's been kicked in the face a lot. She's been told she's ugly, untalented."

"To achieve reality on the show, we wanted to give a nod to the way people slag on her looks, because she does have to put up with it," Alberghini said.

With a supportive family like that behind her, there's virtually no way this show won't be a runaway hit. We imagine writer's room sessions begin with Tori popping by to relate a humiliating anecdote from her past ("Well, there's that time the entire cast of 90210 told me to meet them at a bowling alley and then they never showed up. I waited over two hours.") as the staff listens, doubled over in laughter, picturing how they'll spin her tales of woe into comedy gold.
