Star Magazine’s cover story this week is “Tori Spelling Collapses!” This is not really news – last week, Dean McDermott was tweeting all over the place about Tori’s hospital stay for an unknown stomach ailment. Star doesn’t really know what kind of health problems Tori is facing, but they join together several stories into a pastiche of nasty gossip. First, according to Star’s sources, Tori has an eating disorder because she’s only “95 pounds”. I’ve seen recent pictures of Tori, and she’s not 95 pounds. Yes, she’s very thin. But it’s not that extreme.
Secondly – and the biggest part of the story – is that Tori’s hospital stay and mysterious stomach ailment is all related to Dean’s ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace and MJ’s tell-all book, Divorce Sucks: What to do when irreconcilable differences, lawyer fees, and your ex’s Hollywood wife make you miserable. Last week, Star excerpted parts of the book (Gatecrasher did too). While many of you thought MJ has every right to still be talking, writing and bitching about Tori four years after the divorce, I found the book excerpts revealing of Mary Jo’s lingering bitterness, nastiness and near obsession with analyzing every part of Tori and Dean’s relationship. Personally (and this really is just my opinion), I don’t think what MJ is doing is healthy or mature. Anyway, Star claims that Tori’s health problems are all related to the “stress” of being hit with revelations from Mary Jo’s book.
Tori Spelling has been in and out of the hospital throughout the past week. Now Star has all the details behind her health crisis — and why her marriage may be to blame!
Tori was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center late on Sept. 28, complaining of severe abdominal pains, headaches and dizziness. In our Oct. 19 issue — on sale now — Star reveals how doctors quickly ordered a battery of tests, which ruled out pregnancy, ulcers and ovarian cysts. She was given an ultrasound to check for kidney stones and had blood drawn to test for pelvic inflammatory disease, but these tests also came up negative. With no diagnosis, she was released early the next morning.
Two days later she was back in the hospital, but doctors were no closer to finding the specific cause of her illness at the end of her stay. Says a source, “They believe it could be stress-related.”
In recent weeks, Tori has indeed been dealing with serious anxiety, multiple sources tell Star. The stress caused by scathing revelations from Dean’s best friend and his ex-wife has made her sick and shaken her once-solid marriage.
Dean’s best pal, Michael Olifiers, and his ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, said that Dean only got with Tori, 36, to further his career — and that he was never attracted to her. “She feels overwhelmed with all of these statements,” a source says.
For more on the doubts making Tori sick, and the blow-up with hubby Dean that triggered her hospital visit, pick up the latest issue of Star today.

It could be. I could buy that Tori’s health problems are stress-related. She’s had a rough year with her mom’s crap, and now this “tell-all” from Mary Jo. But Star does have a record of really going after Tori and Dean, especially with their recent cover story about their “loveless marriage”. It could be that Tori just got the swine flu or something. Who knows?
