Attention Whore

Attention Whore: (Noun) A person who craves (negative or positive) attention to such an extent that they will do anything to receive it.

If you haven't heard by now, Tori Spelling is clamoring to be in the new 90210 remake like a Corey to a direct-to-DVD vampire movie sequel. But if you think she's doing it because she's a fame-seeking attention whore, that's where you're wrong. Nope, her intentions are purely selfless.

"My dad always wanted to do a new version of 90210, so I'm sure he will be beaming from above!" Spelling, 34, tells PEOPLE, referring to her father, the show's producer Aaron Spelling. "And I'd love to somehow be a part of it. That as well would make my dad proud!" (Source)

I don't know Tori, I think you already made your father proud enough when you wrote in your new book about how your mom cheated on him while he was dying. There's only so much pride to go around -- you don't want to be known as some kind of "daddy pride hog," do you?
