But this has to be the worst case of copycat behaviour we’ve ever seen.

Tori Spelling, of Beverly Hills 90210 and… errm… some shit reality TV show fame, has gone and got herself one of those baby things in what experts are calling ‘clearly a rip off of Jessica Alba‘. The brazen attempt to hoard some publicity is sure to backfire as members of the public lash out at Tori and her derivative behaviour.

“Get some originality!” they may cry, “everyone’s having kids now! You’re copying lovely Jessica!”

But Spelling, with her many years in the limelight – or, more accurately half-in, half-out of the limelight – knows exactly how to react to her ‘your baby is a cynical ploy’ critics. She used the power of words:

“I’ve always wanted a little girl since I’m such a girly girly.”

But the wily veteran knows this wouldn’t be enough to shut the fools up, so she went on when talking to People Magazine:

“I immediately started crying. I couldn’t believe it. I have my beautiful little boy and now I’ll have my little girl! It’s amazing.”

Tori knows full well that an outpouring of emotion is something that even the harshest of critics will falter at – the sheer joy surrounding the birthing of a new life into this world is one that only utter bastards could be scornful of. Like hecklerspray, for example.

But such a blatant rip-off of another celeb’s actions has managed to reap dividends for the washed-up ’star’, who is set to star in the re-imagining of 90210. Or reinvention. Or whatever bullshit buzz word they want to use to make it sound as if it’s a good thing that no one in any realm of television or the movies seems to have an ounce of genuine creativity about them.

But at least Tori didn’t completely copy Jessica and saddle her child with a future psychological problem (commonly referred to as ‘a stupid name’), calling her a living cry for attention Stella Doreen. Granted, Doreen is stupid, but Stella is fine. Probably as it makes us think of beer.
