She looks pregnant. Of course I am sure its just the dress….

Angi on July 28th, 2009

What a cute family! Tori looks beautiful and happy! Liam looks adorable in his hat.

morgan on July 28th, 2009

She DOES look pregnant. She looks less skinny and seems to be covering up. Another baby?

marlee on July 28th, 2009

I’m going to say she’s not pregnant – although I would guess she’ll have one or two more down the line! This is a cute picture of them.

gianna on July 28th, 2009

She is not pregnant she was on the today show all last week and was super skinny, and I saw pics of her yesterday with a tight fitted outfit, stomach looked flat. I do think they will eventually have another baby. Love this family, I love her dress and liam is so cute and so is his outfit.

christy on July 28th, 2009

her dress is darling! where is it from?

Ellen on July 28th, 2009

I don’t normally go for these “she’s pregnant” rumours but she does look fuller. Her arms are bigger, fuller face and the dress.

Hmmmmm…

jen on July 28th, 2009

Liam looks so much like Tori’s brother, Randy.

Sarah on July 28th, 2009

I don’t think that dress if flattering – it makes her look like she’s pregnant and I doubt that she is.

OnyxJones on July 28th, 2009

I love, love, love this family. Liam is such a handsome little man.

Cece on July 28th, 2009

Hmmmm….. lots of pregnancy speculation. I say “no” to her being pregnant, but I could be wrong. Re the dress – anyone who has been shopping lately will notice that that style dress is all the rage – and it’s a tricky style to wear – but I think she looks beautiful and radiant – and yes, she definitely does not look as skinny as she had in some other pics…. Adorable family picture….

T on July 28th, 2009

I love her dress!

ang on July 28th, 2009

yeah she got a bump in a week. she can’t win.she looks beautiful tho(as do dean&liam of course).i believe she is wearing her own jewellry from her HSN collection.

Maddy on July 28th, 2009

i think everyone is completely crazy…
just a few days ago everyone was saying she’s anorexic, and now she’s pregnant. give me a break!!! lay off the weight comments, period.

liam is adorable, i love his hat & shoes!

jessica on July 28th, 2009

She looks skinny, but not as skinny as in other recent photos. I dont think she is pregnant, but the dress makes her look like she is.

Sarah on July 28th, 2009

“she can’t win.”

What do you mean by “she can’t win.” No one is saying anything bad about her. We’re just saying the dress makes her look pregnant. That style of dress generally makes people look that way, which is why I’m having such a hard time figuring out how that style could have become so popular.

Mia on July 28th, 2009

Aw, look how cute Liam is. I usually think Liam is mostly Dean (while Stella is ALL daddy), I def. see more of Tori in Liam’s face, like the smile and some of the face shape. I think he has his dad’s eyes and nose though or maybe its a combination.

IDK if she is pregnant or not, but I think they will definitely have more kids, and are trying to wait at least 2 years before they have more. Tori said they were surprised to be expecting Stella so soon.

Becky on July 28th, 2009

Maddy – I totally agree! I laughed when I read the comments! Just 2 weeks ago everyone was saying she was anorexic when she was laying on the beach in a bikini and Liam was pouring sand on her and now she is “fuller” and “looks pregnant”. I don’t get it. She’s damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. If you look close at the dress, the chair behind her, at first glance, looks like part of the dress which fools the eyes to think it’s a belly, but if you cover the chair or look close at just the dress and not the chair included, I don’t think that she looks pregnant in that dress. And….

Sarah – people aren’t just saying that her dress makes her look pregnant….people are actually speculating if she is pregnant or not.

Liam looks really young to me in this picture. Maybe it’s the hat (which is super cute BTW). I am not sure. He is so cute and does look just like his Uncle Randy. I love his shoes too. I have been looking for some for me!

Laura on July 28th, 2009

“No one is saying anything bad about her. We’re just saying the dress makes her look pregnant.” Hee. Sorry, that made me giggle. It’s like the sort of back-handed compliment that irritating relatives or the “mean girls” at school would make. Personally, I would take “that dress makes you look pregnant” as kind of an insult! I actually looked at this photo and thought she looked great! Not bone-thin for once and with a happy, healthy face.

shalay on July 28th, 2009

I love her dress, and I have tons of maxi dresses that are similar.

I don’t think she looks pregnant at all, she looks like a normal woman wearing a maxi dress. They look the same on me when I wear them, too. They’re not supposed to be form-fitting, they’re supposed to be a little loose under the boobs and flow. Just because you can’t see fabric tightly hugging someone’s stomach shouldn’t necessarily make them look pregnant.

Sarah on July 28th, 2009

“Sorry, that made me giggle. It’s like the sort of back-handed compliment that irritating relatives or the “mean girls” at school would make”

No, a backhanded compliment would be if someone said “For someone who looks so thin, she also looks pregnant.” Saying that the dress makes her look pregnant puts the insult squarely on the dress (and therefore the person who designed it), not on the person in question. No one is speculating that she might be pregnant because she looks fat – they are saying she looks pregnant because she is wearing a loosely fitting dress. Sad that some people can’t see the difference between those two statements and instead have to get ridiculously touchy every time someone says anything other than “I love this family.”

Sarah on July 28th, 2009

“Sarah – people aren’t just saying that her dress makes her look pregnant….people are actually speculating if she is pregnant or not”

No kidding people are speculating that she’s pregnant. They’re speculating that she’s pregnant BECAUSE the dress makes her look pregnant. If people were saying she looked pregnant after seeing her in a bikini or a form fitted dress then the insult would be against the person involved. It would be a catty way of saying the person looks fat. Speculating that someone looks pregnant when they’re wearing something that resembles a maternity dress is not an insult against the person wearing it, it doesn’t even have anything to do with the person. It has to do with the dress.

KateRose on July 28th, 2009

Wow, it seems that a day gone by without exploiting their children for career purposes would be like a day without orange juice for Tori and Dean. Do those two ever stop dragging their small children to events, and then thrusting them in front of the cameras to get attention. Disgusting.

Silvermouse on July 28th, 2009

I agree that she doesn’t look pregnant. I also look like that in a maxi dress. I am also very fit (however a little curvier than Tori Spelling)

Molly on July 28th, 2009

I REALLY want this dress. Does anyone know where to buy it?

Greatly appreciate any help

ang on July 29th, 2009

KateRose it’s a wrap party FOR THEM and their family so yeah,the kids are there. the crew probably brought their families too.i realise it looks like they’re pimping them out sometimes, but i would hope some people might let this one slide.

daniela on July 29th, 2009

I think she looks great, and not once did I think she was preggers. If anything she looks wonderfully “healthy” to me for once.

I absolutely love that dress – does anyone know where to buy it? Not that I would be able to afford it, but it would still be nice to know. LOL!

Brittany on July 29th, 2009

Great picture, i love this family they seem so down to earth!

And to Katerose, if they didnt have their kids with them everyone would complain about that. I think its awesome that they include their kids instead of leaving them with a nanny.

jenny on July 29th, 2009

Katerose: Get a grip! The party is too celebrate their family reality show. Key word is family which includes Liam!! Why should they leave him home when he is in no harm?

Kasee on July 29th, 2009

I’m not saying any of you are trying to be mean or criticize, but maybe that’s part of why Tori is so skinny…I’d be pretty upset if people saw pictures of me and always wondered if I was pregnant. I think those dresses are popular because they are comfy and they let your body breathe a little more when it’s hot outside. Love Liam’s outfit by the way…

crimpe on July 30th, 2009

As far as the kid stuff goes on this post (sorry, nothing to contribute on the Tori front), my son and daughter have those shoes in different colors and they are a HUGE pain to get on. Much prefer the laces. But they are cute, and Converse has the best colors.

Bancie1031 on July 30th, 2009

I just love this family …. and Liam looks so handsome
