Craft Wars: 'Horrified' Tori Spelling Takes Aim At ‘Cold’ Martha Stewart, Recounts ‘Disappointing’ Meeting With Domestic Doyenne

When her children's book, Presenting … Tallullah! was released in the fall of 2010, she asked her publicist to pull some strings and get her a promo spot on the show, and she complied.

The day of the show, September 21, "I wanted to make a good impression on Martha," Spelling admits. "And I was worried that my voice would crack or anything else might happen to make the moment less than perfect."

Her hope, she says, was, "She'd meet me and think, Wow, Tori really can craft. She's cool. She can hang out with me."

But they didn't exactly hit it off from the start. "I walked out on stage and the first thing Martha said to me was, 'You're going to craft in those heels?'" Spelling writes. "I said, 'What? Martha, doesn't everyone craft in Loubutins?' I thought it was worth a chuckle but got nothin'"

Things only got more tense from there, when Martha dressed-down a staff member for forgetting to provide tape for Spelling.

"She didn't raise her voice, but the tone was not nice," Spelling says. "In a heartbeat, I got exactly what type of person she was. Me and Martha, our buddy future, it wasn't happening."

Still, Spelling had her publicist ask if they could pose for a photo together. Once it was done, "Martha put down her craft and walked offstage without so much as a glance in my direction," Spelling claims. "We were done. I was horrified."
