Tori Spelling didn’t look particularly happy as she did a bit of Christmas shopping with some of her children over the weekend.
The 51-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210, alumna had a somber look on her face as she was seen descending an escalator in a Barnes & Noble in Calabasas, California.
Tori didn’t betray a smile while wearing a cream-colored sweater with black pants and matching sneakers.
She carried a box under one arm and leaned on the escalator railing with the other.
Her long blonde hair cascaded out from a brown beanie, and she had black-framed glasses with yellow-tinted lenses tucked into the neckline of her sweater.
Last week, Tori opened up about her struggles as a single parent amid her divorce from Dean McDermott, 58.

During the most recent episode of her Misspelling podcast, Tori explained that she’d been hard at work on a project for months.
She asked her kids to help out around the house and feels bad that the bulk of that work falls solely on her 16-year-old daughter Stella.
‘When I’m working and I’m gone all day, it falls a lot on my 16-year-old to really oversee the family,’ she said. ‘I feel really guilty when I come home at the end of the day.’
Spelling shares Stella, Liam, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12 and Beau, seven, with her ex-husband McDermott.
‘People have babysitters or nannies or housekeepers or things like that, but we’re just us — I know that’s probably really hard for the public to understand, but it’s true.
Her guest that day was Dr. Hillary Goldsher, a psychotherapist in Beverly Hills and Tori laid out her mom guilt to the licensed professional.
‘As a parent, financially, work was really stable for quite a long time. I had multiple shows and multiple product lines and brands and just was a workhorse in an empire.’
‘That’s when I had four of my kids and they were able to not see a different side. They were able to have a certain life that I provided for them through work and then all of a sudden, things weren’t stable.’

But now, due to the ups and downs of a career in entertainment, her income is ‘not financially consistent, nor is it stable.’
‘With five kids, I feel like I’m sorry. I’m constantly letting them down because my life is not stable. Their lives are not stable,’ she contended.
‘I can give love in abundance, but they’re on this roller coaster with me, unfortunately.
‘I’m so used to getting such outwardly harsh responses to my life no matter what,’ the Scary Movie 2 actress said.
‘They’re on this journey with me and I can’t keep things from them. I have children that are old enough that they read things online. They read the false stuff, but they read the semi-accurate stuff and they read the true stuff.
‘And I’m not saying poor me — here I am defending myself again — but I feel like since my soon-to-be ex-husband and I separated, it’s been fight or flight.’
‘It’s been constant with five kids,’ the Dancing with the Stars alum continued. ‘And whether it’s emotionally, physically, financially, we’ve just been going.’
‘When life keeps serving you things — unexpected things — on a daily basis, you’re, like, ‘Oh, I got past that.’ And then you have a plan, all of a sudden, boom. And it’s day to day.’

Over the weekend, the daughter of the late television mogul Aaron Spelling and Candy Spelling took her daughters Stella and Hattie to the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball at the brand new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
The Dancing With the Stars alum flaunted her enviably chiseled midriff in a structured crop top with a big black bow across her chest that served up a generous helping of cleavage.
She slipped into a gleaming set of metallic hammer pants that featured a cinched-in high waistline — playing up her toned physique — as well as a set rhinestone suspenders.
Last month, Tori and her kids moved into a $12,000-a-month Calabasas home, one year after she lived in an RV park with her five kids after her marriage split from Dean McDermott.
She grew up in the $85 million Spelling manor in Holmby Hills and her new home has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a swimming pool.
The stunning home is in stark contrast to the RV park in Ventura County the star and her brood stayed in last year amid her financial problems.
