Tori Spelling puts on VERY glamorous show as she films a mystery project in Los Angeles – just days after she was seen living in an RV with her five kids amid split from Dean McDermott

Tori Spelling has returned to her glamorous Beverly Hills roots – and landed herself a mysterious new on-camera gig – just days after she was seen living in an RV with her five children following her split from husband Dean McDermott. 

Striking images of the 50-year-old former actress taken in Los Angeles this week reveal the extent of her jaw-dropping transformation – with Tori ditching the baggy sweatpants and T-shirts she was seen sporting during her stint in the motorhome, in favor of a fitted red suit and plunging lace shirt. 

The photos show Tori surrounded by a camera crew and glam squad while filming a mysterious project on a mansion-lined street in LA, a starkly contrasting backdrop to the campsite and $100-a-night motel that she and her children have been living in of late. 

Glammed up to the nines with her bright blonde hair in loose waves, the former Beverly Hills 90210 star can be seen sporting a full face of makeup while strutting her stuff in front of the cameras. 

Although Tori has not yet shared any details about the project she was filming, the images of her in front of the camera come shortly after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that she was plotting a return to reality TV to combat her ‘money issues

While it’s unclear what the star was working on, it’s unlikely that she was filming a TV show or movie because all of them have been halted for weeks amid the writers and actors strikes

While it’s unclear what the star was working on, it’s unlikely that she was filming a TV show or movie because all of them have been halted for weeks amid the writers and actors strikes.

Other images showed Tori reading off a teleprompter and looking over a piece of paper with someone from the production team. 

Tori has fallen on hard times recently – she was forced out of her home due to mold in May, split from her husband-of-18-years, Dean McDermott, a few weeks later, and DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that she was living in a van with her five children in early August.

Earlier this month, a source told DailyMail.com that the 50-year-old – who had a brief stint in reality television during the early 2000s, starring in a slew of shows alongside her then-husband – was hoping to return to the world of reality TV. 

They explained that the options for work were slim thanks to the strikes, and that reality TV or a competition show could pose as a great ‘opportunity’ for her to finally ‘tell her truth.’ 

‘Tori is caught between a rock and a hard place right now as she is trying to figure out what her next job is going to be because she is having some money issues,’ they dished.

The actress and her estranged husband, Dean, previously starred in a series of Oxygen reality shows including Tori & Dean: Inn Love, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings, and Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever from 2007 to 2014, which followed the early years of their marriage as they took on various endeavors. 

The insider added that while Tori is desperate for ‘a more consistent flow of money to come in,’ she still ‘wants to be a mom first.’

‘Scheduling is very important to her,’ they continued. ‘As she tries to get on future shows, it all has to work out perfectly with her family. 

‘She is not desperate yet but let us see what happens in the next few months and what she might have to do to … make things work.’

The friend of Tori’s said her dream would be to participate in Dancing With the Stars, and revealed that there are already some discussions being had about getting her on the show.

‘This might finally be the year that she does the show. So many 90210 stars have done it, so she would have so much support from her former cast members,’ they said. 

The insider added: ‘With the strike in full effect, she is looking into doing some more in the reality competition show world’

‘The show would love her story and she would welcome the opportunity to tell her truth. 

‘She feels that doing the show could open some doors for her going into the end of the year and into 2024. 

‘There have been talks to see what can be done, nothing official but the outcome is gearing towards her being on the dance floor.’

On June 16, Dean revealed in a since-deleted Instagram post that he was parting ways with Tori after 18 years of marriage.

He said that they ‘would continue to work together as loving parents’ to ‘guide and love their children through this difficult time’ and asked for ‘privacy’ as they ‘take time’ to ‘work their way through it.’

Just weeks earlier, Tori revealed that she and her five kids had been forced to move out of their home after discovering a massive mold infestation that was making them ‘so sick.’

They added that the Canadian actor, 56, believes Tori is ‘doing it for sympathy’ and insisted that she ‘is not broke.’

‘Dean is legit mortified, as are all of Tori’s friends,’ they said. ‘They do not understand why she would be doing this unless for sympathy. She has money.

‘She is not broke and she has gotten offers from friends to stay at their house. Dean does not think that the kids should be living like this and of course he is angry. 

‘He is furious at Tori because she is acting like a child. She had every opportunity to make this marriage work and instead, she fostered the narrative for years that she was done with Dean.’

The insider added that Dean’s ‘main concern’ is his kids, and that ‘he is still talking to them’ regularly. 

Tori was raised by one of most successful TV producers on the globe, and famously lived in in the second largest abode in all of Los Angeles as a teen.

She was propelled into the spotlight after she was cast in Beverly Hills, 90210 at just 17, but in the years since the show went off the air, she racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debt

She was propelled into the spotlight after she was cast in Beverly Hills, 90210 at just 17, but in the years since the show went off the air, she racked up tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt.

When her dad died in 2006, Tori only received $800,000 of the estimated $600 million fortune that was left behind by her late father

The star has been very open about her financial struggles over the years, previously telling Good Morning America that after she was cast in the hit series, her parents told her she was on her own financially. 

She explained that she had a hard time managing her funds – which she believed stemmed from growing up with a lot of money. 

‘In all honesty, I grew up a certain way. I never had to worry about money … that was my reality,’ she said. 

When her dad died in 2006, Tori only received $800,000 of the estimated $600 million fortune that was left behind by her late father. 

In 2016, she was sued by American Express for failing to pay an outstanding credit card balance of $87,594.55. According to court documents, the money was ‘seized’ from her bank account in 2020.

Tori and her husband were also hit with a lawsuit from City National Bank later that year, who claimed they had ‘failed to repay a $400,000 bank loan.’ That case is still ongoing.
