Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have signed on for a second season of their controversial reality show True Tori, but took a big pay cut in doing so.
According to reports, the two stars were forced to accept a major salary reduction to get the show on air, and don't use the term "major" loosely.
Dean, who put the couple's marriage under the microscope by doing Emily Goodhand in a Toronto hotel, will now be doing the show he spawned for free!
"Lifetime was still interested in another season of the show," an insider said. "However, Tori had to be willing to take a pay cut, a big one, and she did."
"The pay cut was significant ... Tori is making only $50,000 to do Season 2. And Dean isn't making a dime. Tori made sure his contract specified that."
Ouch. The meager ratings brought in by the show gave the network plenty of leverage, with Tori's years of financial problems garnering no sympathy.
Like everything else in her life, real or fake, Tori's money issues have been well documented over the years. That $50K isn't likely to help much.
Not that money is Spelling's only reason for wanting back in the spotlight.
"Her friends think she would have done the reality show for free, she is that obsessed with having her personal life played out on camera!" the source said.
"She needs constant validation from Dean and everyone around her."
Filming is underway for True Tori Season 2 (premiering October 21!!!!!), which finds her "healing herself and dealing with the issues that have plagued her for years."
Lifetime says in a release that there are plenty of those to go around:
"While much of the chaos of last spring is seemingly behind her, there still exists a tremendous amount of work ahead for Tori as she struggles to find her true self."
Or the scripted self she wants to make us think is real. Either/or.
