If you haven't heard, Chateau La Rue is Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's new bed and breakfast located in Fallbrook, California not far from Temecula's Wine Country. Spelling used the $800K inheritance from her father to purchase the 8-acre estate, formerly Oak Creek Manor B & B, where renovations have turned the country frills into a swanky modern Inn. The Chateau La Rue will be run by the Spelling/McDermott family where Spelling will be in the kitchen making her famous red velvet cupcakes and updating the breakfast part of the B & B experience with happy hour and hors d'oeurves. The 4 rooms have been POSHED with Dwell bedding, Flavia coffee makers, Votivo candles, Fresh bath products, Olevia 42-inch plasma's, Private Quarters bath robes, Elixir + Voss beverages, Magaschoni cashmere throws and more. It pays to be a celeb.
They opened the B & B earlier this month hosting a gala event with DJ's, local wine tastings, tonic bar by Elixir, as well as guided tours of the rooms where 'live art' of models wearing undies were sprawled on the beds. Guests included Perez Hilton, Debbie Gibson, Lisa Rinna, and Kelly Rutherford.
Of course, you can catch a glimpse of the Chataeu La Rue by watching Tori & Dean: Inn love, a reality show premiering March 20 on the oxygen network. It doesn't get anymore Hollywood than that.
