Is Rumer Willis the new Tori Spelling?
Sadly, I’ve given this some thought. Mostly because the words Tori Spelling and best-selling author in the same sentence are more painful to me that a knife in the gut. Growing up, I was fairly annoyed with Donna Martin, all things 90210, the nepotism, and what I saw as general lameness. But I’m realizing that the “Curse of Tori Spelling” is really the case of a famous father and his daughter that no one would normally care about… and it continues.
I present Rumer Willis. How specifically is Rumer the new Tori and not Kelly Osbourne or Bindi Irwin?
First? The Horse Face: They both share giant horse faces. I can’t over the individual size of each girl’s chin. Jay Leno is a comedian, it sort of works. Two young women trying to be hot? Not so much. And yet, neither Bruce not Aaron seem so horsey?
Second? Acting Ability. Both girls have very little, although they seem to really be trying. Kudos for effort. After a viewing of Sorority Row, I’m sure the Lifetime Network must be salivating to make “Mother, May I Sleep with Danger Too?” starring Rumer.
Third? Mothers. Now it looks like Demi Moore is much better than Candy Spelling, but both share odd, cutesy names, both seem controlling and overbearing, and neither mom will go down in the media without a fight. And most importantly, both mothers love the limelight. Watch out Rumer, I think this will get interesting.
Fourth? Siblings: Tori has Randy, who seems odd and non-existent, much like Rumer’s sisters Tallulah and Scout, but honestly it’s too early to tell.
Fifth? The Famous Father: Both seem like Daddy’s girls who have grown up under the shadow of an uber-famous dad.
Is Rumer the new Tori? If so, she must prepare herself for twenty-something success, thirty-something obscurity until you commit adultery, bust up a marriage, marry again and use your famous last name to write a book, host a show and expose yourself completely. Oh wait, your mom and step-dad already do that incessantly.
