Pampered Hollywood princess turned reality star and Inn-owner Tori Spelling tells Ellen DeGeneres that at 34, she's finally learned how to make a bed.
In an appearance on DeGeneres’ show Tuesday, Spelling and husband Dean McDermott talk about getting into the Bed and Breakfast business and overcoming a privileged upbringing through housework.
Read on for excerpts.
On the decision to open their Inn:
Ellen: Did you look into this? Was it a life-long dream of wanting to have a bed and breakfast? Is it a money-making thing? It seems like so much work.
Dean: Well it was a combination of all of those things.
Tori: I was going to say, no no and no, but …
Dean: (Interrupts.) No, I thought it was a combo of everything.
Tori: Don’t you think it was one of those spontaneous passion dreams that you have late at night when you can’t sleep?
Dean: Yes it was honey.
Tori: Let’s open up a B& B
Dean: We wanted to get into it for a little bit of financial stability because you know acting is so up and down.
Tori: (interrupts) Because B&B’s are so stable
Dean: Yeah. In hindsight, not so much.
On Tori’s inexperience with housework:
Ellen: Did you know you’d be doing all the work and chores? Or did you imagine other people..
Tori: I wanted to.
Ellen: You wanted to do the work? Was this really the first time you had to make a bed or anything?
Tori: Yes
Ellen: (To Dean) You saw sort of how she grew up?
Dean: I was kind of surprised that she said she never knew how to make her bed till I went to the Manor. I was like okay I get it. You have people to all that.
Tori: When he says the Manor he is referring to my parents’ house. It has a name. I know. We have Chateau Le Rue, my mother has the Manor.
Ellen: It’s a big house. On your street there are tour guides that go back and forth just to see that house. I was looking at a house on that street and I was like uh-uh I’m not living on that street. There are tour buses going back and forth on that street. You had someone in your house to literally do like everything; one to wash dishes, one person to make beds, right?
Tori: Or two or three
Ellen: Two or three to do like each chore.
Tori: I’m kidding.
Ellen: No you’re not kidding.
Tori: I know.
