Stella McDermott Soars!

Albert Michael/Startraks

Whee! A one-shoed Stella Doreen McDermott flies high — and shows off some new teeth! — at an event honoring mom Tori Spelling last Wednesday night at Kitson.

Celebrating the family’s cover of Cookie magazine, the new season of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood — it premieres May 26th at 10 p.m. on Oxygen — and Tori’s latest book, Mommywood, the Los Angeles store hosted a get-together and book-signing for friends and fans.

See more photos of the Spelling-McDermotts in their just-updated family gallery!

Stella wears Ralph Lauren Layette ‘Susan’ Sandal in Gold Speccio Leather ($45).

Another photo — including Dean McDermott and 2-year-old Liam Aaron — is below.

cute family! I love Stella’s shoes! :) I know people may lash back at me, but I’m just gonna say it… I just do not like how skinny and unhealthy Tori is lately. I wouldn’t be saying this if Tori had always been this skinny. I know she was slim before the babies, but she was never this unhealthy looking. I think she needs help.

That first pic of Stella is adorable!

- Melissa on

She is a cutie. Looks just like her Daddy.

- Mimi on

The whole family looks fantastic! It is nice to see Tori smiling.

- Angi on

she looks exactly like her brother in this pic- these kids are all Dean! adorable.

- Maggie on

I love Stella’s sandals! Where can I get them?

- Silvana on

Oh my goodness….Stella looks so cute! I just love those shoes she has on….and I love little Liam’s mohawk! So adorable!! Dlock, I don’t think anyone is going to give you a hard time with what you said about Tori….it’s just been discussed several times before. If Tori’s happy and says she’s healthy, then I say more power to her! Everyone has a weight they are comfortable with. If she’s happy with it, then I think we should all be happy for her.

- Gabrielle on

What an adorable photo! She looks so happy and I love those little milk teeth :)

- Xan on

Silvana:I AGREE!!!
Does Anyone please, please know anything about those sandals. They are lovely. I want a pair for ME & MY DAUGHTER!!!

- sarah in the UK on

Stella looks very cute in the pic with her Dad. Nice family pic.

- Jas on

Ralph Lauren has a pair of sandals just like those. I saw them on Nordstrom’s website. Can anyone verify that’s what they are? SOOOO cute!

- Carole on

just a response to dlock…

Did you not watch the original 90210? Check back for clips on youtube. Tori has always been super tiny…

btw, Tori, I think you’re looking smokin’ hot!! Such a great looking family.

- Darren on

I strongly disagree with Darren above- but I will say that Stella is cute

- babyboopie on

they definitely look like the Susan Leather Thong in gold metallic leather (also available in maui pink) from ralph lauren. ordered for my niece and they are adorable. if not them, they are very close!

- brannon on

The sandals are from

Ralph Lauren Layette ‘Susan’ Sandal (Baby)
$44.95

Stella is so cute, that first picture made me smile!!

- angie on

The sandals are too cute….and she is missing one too! Tori was always thin but never this thin – look at her arms… she is scary skinny….

- Whitney on

Stella is beautiful! What cute kids!

- Anna on

oh my goodnes… LOVE that 1st picture of Stella.. SO cute! And Liam is too cute with his mohawk!! I know Tori looks quite skinny, but I think she looks ok. She def looks happy!!! she should be… she’s got quite a cute lil family!

- Jae on

Haha, she looks like she’s floating! And I love her little gladiator sandals!

- Brooklyn on

stella is adorable and tori always has her dressed great. Liam is beautiful too, love this family.

- gianna on

Tori look unhealthy and why are they again taking their children to events? It’s probably because she knows that without her reality show she would be completely out of the picture by now.

- Anna on

She’s starting to look a lot more like Liam in that first photo!

- JMO on

Anna, is really that hard to say that the kids look cute and leave it at that? I think your comment was really nasty and childish!

- Angi on

I don’t think Anna said anything wrong. The truth is they do explot the kids in order to have a fan base (the Moms) that will watch their reality show. I personally would do everything in my power to shield my children from the media. You don’t see Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, etc much in the media with their kids. Their cute kids but keep them home once in a while Tori.

- Brooke Williams on

Brooke, then should we say nasty things about Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner,Gwen Stefani, Heidi Klum and the many others who are regularly posted here on CELEBRITY Baby Blog.Sorry, but I’ll take Tori any day, who is honest about her life and her flaws over celebs who act like they are saints and don’t want the attention, but happily get paid to have their child’s picture plastered all over the weekly rag mags.

- Angi on

I think the family looks so cute together.

- Silvermouse on

In that first one, Stella looks like a carbon copy of her brother, Liam. Cute shot. Well, both photos are. :)

- FC on

Nice to see a picture of Stella smiling! She always looks so serious in the pictures I’ve seen of her. She looks like her Daddy!

- Robin on

Wow, I don’t normally say anything on these message boards, but every time I look on the comments about Tori Spelling I see at least one or two people writing the meanest things about her exploiting her children….do you not know what website you are on?? It’s called celebrity-babies! This whole website is dedicated to celebrities and their children! She is not the only celebrity out there who is in the public eye with their children, if she was this website would not exist!

- Briana on

It seems to me that when we see pics of Tori and her kids, it’s because they’re dragging them out to events. When we see pics of the Jolie-Pitt kids, Heidi and Seal’s kids, or the Garner-Afflecks, they are shots taken by paparazzi as they try to go about their everyday life. They are not deliberately putting their kids into the line of fire from the paps. Big difference.

- Shannon on

I love how Tori & Dean stay together for everything! She hates to be away from her children so they go with her – I think it’s great. They really seem very happy together. It’s sad that her mother is missing out with her grandchildren but that’s the bed she made nd has to lvie in it now!

- momof2kidz on

lol stella looks like she is having a ball.tori says(and she updated her myspace with a blog about the past month yesterday including running into seal & heidi and kids at dinner-tori said heidi looked stunning with her bump) in mommywood that they mostly go to kids events these days so the kids can be with them and have a good time.more notably, the book is ABOUT HER KIDS so yeah, having them at a signing is not unusual.

on top of that,apparently liam loves this stuff-cameras and people and lights-tori says both kids are well socialised from the show and liam in particular gets a kick out of it all(most of the time!) patsy their nanny was there too btw-i saw a pic of t&stella entering the event with pats behind them.she is like family to them all.

i am reading mommywood again for like the third time or something-there’s some great stories,like being starstruck talking nursing with kate winslet,or chatting to gwen stefani and zuma at diddy’s twins birthday party.it was a smallish event but apparently kim porter invited them as she is a huge fan of their show.

- ang on

“Anna, is really that hard to say that the kids look cute and leave it at that?”

I don’t see anything wrong with her comment. I also don’t think her comment is childish. I think the childish comments are coming from those who can’t just back off and let other people have their opinions.

- Kate on

I think DLOCK missed the part when Tori said “I am HEALTHY”– tks tsk.. jealous?

- Jax on

awe, she looks like a little angel :-)

- Mirella on

I love the first picture.

- Jane on

“I think DLOCK missed the part when Tori said “I am HEALTHY”– tks tsk.. jealous?”

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it sounds to call someone jealous just because they express disagreement with one thing a celebrity does? Not to mention how childish it sounds. I don’t see anything about Dlock’s statement that makes her look jealous, especially considering that DLOCK also praised the family in her comment. It’s truly amazing to me to see how many people there are who are completely unwilling to admit that celebrities aren’t perfect. And I’m trully stunned that you’re naive enough to believe that just because Tori said she’s healthy that it automatically means she is. People who have eating disorders often deny them for years before getting help.

- Rebecca on

Lovely family. Lovely woman.

- Girly Girl on

The difference is that Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner,Gwen Stefani, Heidi Klum etc etc do not have a reality show! When they are photographed they are just going to school or to a store. They don’t take their children to events or on TV or write books about them.

- Anna on

Anna, no they just sell pictures of their new babies to the highest bidder. Yup, that is totally better. *insert sarcasm*

- Angi on

Angi- Actually, Jennifer and Ben have never sold pictures of their girls. Gwen and Gavin only sold the first photos of Kingston. With Zuma, she posted a photo taken by her dad on her own website.

As for Angelina and BRAD (I put his name in all caps for a reason. People seem to forget that he was probably just as involved in the decision to sell the baby photos as Angelina was), in their case, I think it was truly neccesary to sell the first photos of Shi, the twins, and Pax to PEOPLE.

Had they not done that, especially with Shi and the twins, the sad fact is that the paps would have probably gone nuts trying to get that first photo, and someone could have gotten hurt (all you have to do is read celeb interviews such as the recent one if Jen Garner’s in which she said that the paps have been literally pushing around and knocking over kids at Violet’s preschool just to try to get photos of Violet that the paps don’t care about people’s safety!).

Anyway, I agree with Shannon! I also want to point out that the Jolie-Pitts, at least, do not complain about the pap attention (I don’t really know about the other families). Brad has simply expressed the fact that he wishes the paps could use long lenses instead of getting right up in the kids’ faces and scareing them (Zahara in particular is afraid of the paps), and basically made it clear that the paps are indeed a pain. However, he and Angie DO both seem to acknowledge that it just, unfourtnately, goes with the territory.

Bottom line: The rest of us are allowed to complain about the aspects of our jobs that we don’t like. Why shouldn’t celebs be allowed to do the same?

- CelebBabyLover on

Oh, and I LOVE that first picture of Stella! Obviously she had a good time at the event! :)

- CelebBabyLover on

Yawn…more catty women arguing over nonsense. Seriously? This is what you get worked up over?

- michelle on

Thanks Rebecca, I couldn’t have said it better than myself! Jax, I’m not jealous of anyone. I love my life and especially myself. I don’t wish to be something that I”m not. I don’t wish to be so skinny and “unhealthy” looking just to fit into “celebrity world” because thats what mainstream says one should look like. I don’t wish to be feuding with my mom publicy (just for publicity). I think Tori from what I see and read about her, is a ok person and I like her family. But that has nothing to do with the fact that Tori is clearly not healthy. I remember what Tori looked like back in the day, and she was never this small! She looks sick!
I may not have all the fame and fortune, but I am completely happy with where I am in life.
And name calling, really??!! Jax, grow up.
Its a shame when people can’t voice their opinions w/out being crapped all over.

- dlock on

they have extremely attractive children, they’re so adorable!

- Mellissa on

Those kids look like carbon copies of Dean. Adorable though. And Stella looks so happy. What a cute family. And it’s nice that they are always together and it’s not one parent with one kid and the other parent with the other kid. It seems like celebrity families are always in separate places at separate times.

- April on

If you are a celebrity, who makes millions of dollars, having your child’s picture taken for a magazine is NEVER necessary. It is a choice, plain and simple.

A least Tori admits that having her family seen is part of her normal. Truthfully, if you are rich and famous you life will never be what we consider normal. Angelina and Brad brought it on themselves. They court the press non-stop, but complain when their are pictures of the kids everywhere. Sorry, but they do not get my sympathies.

- Angi on

Angi, how do they court the press? The kids have been barely seen for well over a year. The youngest kids are 10 months old and they’ve been caught by the paparazzi exactly once in their entire lives. It doesn’t really seem like a couple who wanted more fame and attention for their kids would keep them that well insulated from photographers!

It is a choice, plain and simple.

Right, and they made the choice to donate the entire sum to charity. Great choice on their part, I say!

- Sophy on

Sophy- I agree! As for the choice they made, you are right about it being a choice, Angi. Angelina has even addressed that they had the choice of selling the first photos or letting the paps get them, and they chose to sell the pictures and have the money go to a good cause rather than letting some pap get rich on the first photos of their babies.

Also, to Angi- Angelina and Brad complain about the PAPS, not about their kids’ photos being everywhere. They just wish the paps would use long lenses rather than getting right up in their kids’ faces and scaring them, and don’t like the fact that the paps scare Zee in particular. However, it DOES seem like they realize it comes with the package. Like I said before, why shouldn’t they be allowed to complain about the aspect of their job that they don’t like?

- CelebBabyLover on

Why, Stella looks positively adorable…like a floating cherubic angel! :)

- Sarah on

Tori looks great in yellow! I like Liam’s mohawk better than Kingston’s mohawk. This is a nice family picture, but then again they have a lot of nice family pictures!

- Sarah on

I love this family! Liam is all spelling!! About Tori’s weight, I agree if anyone was a 90210 fan like me, she was stick thin about their junior year of college. I don’t think she has an eating disorder. She may need 5 pounds added, but she looks fine not abnormal for her. As for their kids being in the spotlight, it’s their choice. They do have a reality show for crying out loud. If you haven’t watched it, I reccomend that you do, it’s hilarious!!! They are very down to earth normal people

- jenny on

CBB is going to stop allowing comments on Tori Spelling posts if you people keep it up. Nice pictures of the McDermott-Spelling family. Beautiful children.

- Terri on

AWW! What a cutie! Stella and Liam look a like, I think so any way.
For those of you who have such mean things to say about Ms. Spelling, what gives you the right to judge her weight, her life, how she allows her children to be photographed or not? This is the business of her and her husband. I for one thinks she looks great and am always glad to see photos of her with her children. Everyone knows how much she wanted to be a Mommy and I think she does a wonderful job. I suppose if you never saw her with her kids then you would judge her and say she’s a bad parent because she’s never with her kids. She can’t please everyone so why don’t you lay off and stop judging.
