DEAN

T, the kids and I do everything together.


I became interested in motorcycles at an early age. I was an avid cyclist when I was young. Me and my friends would get up at the crack of dawn, get on our bikes, ride all day, and come home at dusk just in time for dinner. We would pretend to be Hells Angels or Evel Knievel and jump ramps and play Chips. We would even race around the playground and housing project for high stakes prizes and cash. All fictitious mind you, but still very competitive racing none the less.

When I turned 16, I got my license, bought my brother-in-law's old 1973 Honda 400 Super Sport, and off I went. I loved every minute of it. I went through a series of different bikes. I moved up to a Honda Interceptor, a Yamaha Secca 750, and my very first new bike . . . A Virago 1100. My very last bike was a Yamaha FJ1200, my favorite bike of the bunch. After a 12year hiatus from riding, T got me a Ducati 1098 for Father's day, and re-ignited my love and passion for riding. Now I have two Ducati Sport Classic 1000's, a Honda CBR 600 race bike, and a Suzuki B King. I am going to finish the race season on my 600, then move to a Suzuki GSXR 1000. I think I'm hooked !!!

WAKE UP TORI....Dean is showing signs of the honeymoon wearing off. Watch out for his next hot costar who might have money and a famous name. He justifies that you work so hard because 'you can't afford not to work." Get rid of some of his big boy toys like the bikes,dummy! The next one might be one of your famous friends. Maybe he will find someone even more famous and with more income potential. He needs to grow up. DEAN! Women need a shoulder to cry on SO WHAT....YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING DUMB MAN AS USUAL... YOU SO EASILY CUT THE CORD WITH YOUR DAD AS YOU PROUDLY PROCLAIM LIKE IT'S NOTHING... YOU EASILY LEFT YOUR WIFE AND TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.... NO PROBLEM FOR YOU AT ALL.... Maybe Tori has feelings, unlike you, and wants to grieve the loss of her mother's relationship. DUH! He has such a short fuse. I'm scared for Tori if she doesn't wake up. Ask your gay friends what they really think of Dean to be honest with you. They can see it I'm sure. The Gays know a dirt bag man when they see him. Dean should take some lessons from them about what a real man is and how to really love someone right.

HE'S GETTING RESTLESS AND NOT IN FOR THE LONG HAUL. When you just need to talk to him he can't even give you a simple hug and say it's ok honey. whatever you want i'm behind you.... IDIOT.That's all it will take stupid. That's all a woman wants from you..... REMEMBER YOUR CLAIM OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, Dean...when you left your other family so easily... well maybe you need to practice that with Tori and accept she wants to keep trying with her mom....YOU ARE A REAL JERK, ABUSIVE, AND A USER. Oh and by the way- making sexually explicit jokes and teaching your two year old sexual gestures is not ok! Pervert!

Dean,
You are doing a great job with your son. It is important to let your kids know wrong for right. I thought it was great when you put him in time out. Lima is testing to see what he can get away with. You and Tori need to be in agree on that for it to work.

You and Tori make a great couple. I think it is a great that your family is important to you.

I love your show. You two seem so fun and adorable together, that's why I enjoy the show. And your kids are so cute. From what we can see from the show, you seem like a modern couple trying to make a happy life juggling family and work. I think it's great that your son Jack has moved closer as well. I hope the tv show stays a plus for you rather than a negative as it has for some reality tv stars. SInce you are both actors, it seems to me like you should be able to roll with the whole reality tv thing better than other folks. You both seem very considerate of each other, and I wish your family the best. I love seeing glimpses of CA in the show as well. Makes me a little homesick too. All the best!

Hey Terri, I feel the same way you do on that. As I was saying in my other entry in a nutshell, I saw a different Dean this season. Less devotion to his family, more time away from home, and when he's home he's so tired and grouchy to everyone. I see a wife who supports her husbands work, who encourages his interests, even if they take him away from her. So I also say, hey Dean, quit being a selfish jerk and maybe you'll get more of that sex you say you've been missing. Look in the mirror next time you want to blow your top, at least it will be aimed at the right person this time.

When I watched last season compaired to this season I noticed a difference in the way you interactwith Tori. It appears to me, from a viewers perspective, that you are very concerned when you find yourself in the presence of an attractive female who has the same interests. Are you concerned how Tori will see it or are you more worried about giving in to the temtation.
when you talked about it you kept wanting to justify your friendship with your riding partner.
The gift of the helmet and the way you were defending the gift to Tori was a big red flag as they say. Is accepting personal gifts from someone other than your wife acceptable? Maybe. But spending all your free time riding your motorcycle acceptable? probably not. You are a father and a husband and we love your devotion to your family. It's clear your family loves you too. Will you take them for granted and miss them
when their gone? or will you appreciate what you have and go home. The grass looks very green at your house to me.

I am also a bike fan, my husband has a honda VTX 1800 and I love riding behind him! I hope Tori will get over her fears and try it at least once. You two are such a cute couple and I love the show!!! You are both great parents and seem to juggle everything well. Has your movie came out yet that you were filming last season? I was really excited to see it, I'm a huge fan of yours!! Thanks for being so sexy to watch!! :)

Dean!
Things will get better! As a 31 year old wife of more than 12 years and a mother of 4 I can relate with all of the issues you and Tori are dealing with as a couple with a young family! You'll pull through! The both of you need to relax, find time for just the 2 of you-Your children will not suffer from there parents getting some time without them-In fact they will benefit from having parents that are still in love and want to be together years from now! As for the dog-I'm right there with you! Have fun with your motorcycle hobby! Maybe Tori would consider a ride on the bike if she could actually do something without millions of people watching! Hard to do something new when all eyes are on you!

Dean I love you on the SHOW. As for all the negative comments forget the negative people. The love you show for your family is outstanding including your eldest son. PEOPLE need to remember that ... You are a real person struggling to produce fine fruits with such little limited daily time. Tori is amazing ... And we can tell you know it. Best wishes for you and your family.

I was wondering Dean : Do you get to see your son that lives in Toronto? How will you explain to him why you left his mother & sister. Is money more important ? Some day you will wish that your son will forgive you ,MONEY OVER A SON !

HELLO DEAN I WATCH YOU ON YOUR TV SHOW . AND I WATCH YOUR TV SHOW EVERY WEEK . EMAILD ME BACK PLEASE THANK YOU BYE Dean . from sierra

I'm addicted to my bike also and I wish Tori would conquer her fears and take a riding lesson. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1100 and have no interest in racing, just cruising down the highway! I have three teenage kids and don't enjoy dangerous activities either but there's nothing like the open road on my bike. Great hobby for my Husband and me. Be Brave Tori!! Love the Show and think you both are doing a terrific job. Jillybean

I must be watching an entirely different show then most of these other posters, I think Dean does his fare share with the kids and housework. Granted we are only a couple of episodes into the new season, so we haven't seen as much of Dean cleaning and looking after the kids as seen in past episodes (Tori and Dean Inn Love). The reaction to the diarrhea and the dog was NOT out of line, he was tired and not feeling well, and quite frankly fed up with the dog who is constantly pooping in the house. I am sure a lot of people would have had that same reaction. Dean you do deserve some "ME" time too. From my observation of the show you are a GREAT dad and husband. You do far more then most of the men who have married into my family, and I am sure more than the husbands of the other people leaving comments. Kudos to you for all that you have done and do!!

I love your show and think you two are adorable together. Dean, you really should help out Tori more though. I was a workaholic with two small kids and am paying the price medically now. It's not worth it...she needs your extra time to help her.
On another note, I have something special I'd love to send to Tori. Can someone PLEASE tell me who I can send it to that will guarantee she gets it!!!!! I can't seem to find contact info and of course don't expect any personal info being released. Maybe a manager? Thanks so much!
Lori

Contrary to other posts, I'm not attacking you, Dean. You've done lots for Tori, to provide for her and make her happy. That's the best thing you can do for your kids', to show their mother how much you love her. Dogs poop. I'd be pretty pissed if I was sleep deprived and exhausted, and then had to deal with dog poo in my baby's nursery, too. Props to you for being a real MAN, for doing what you can to provide for your family. It saddens me to see that Tori does so much, but I understand the drive. I dig it that you guys are a normal family, and I dig the interaction between the two of you. I'll admit, I'm not a die-hard fan, I don't catch all the episodes (full-time home-maker with 3 young kids and a fledging business doesn't leave much time for TV!), but from what I've seen, you guys do have your heads on pretty straight.

Dean Honey,
I know you are working but when you have only 1 day off it might be wise spend it with your wife & kids. You complain about your lack of sex, a little lesson here into a woman's mind, there is no bigger turn on to a woman than to have her man help her with the kids & the house. If you want more sex, put more time into the family, it'll work, I promise! A man that helps out willingly, is better than flowers, or dinner. I've just discovered your show & you guys seem pretty nice. Good Luck!

I think that Dean's time is going to run out. Tori is such a great mother and a hard worker. Why put up with such a selfish perso?

You should be ashamed of yourself. The animals cannot control diarreah you moron. They are sick and need comfort and care not anger. Ass. Of course no one should be surprised. This is the #&@% head who left his young son and infant daughter and wife in pursuit of money and fame. It is laughable how you mention being in Calgary for 5 weeks filming. How gratuitious. Because for sure, no one would ever know unless you mentioned it, because your "movies" are "F" status, never to be heard of or seen by the public. You need a good kick in the ass, I will NEVER watch your stupid lame program again. And I am going to tell everyone one I know that you have added another line to your "Resume". Lets review

I know that you and Tori are very much in love,but you really do need to help her more esp when your not working. She is busting her butt with a million jobs so help out some dude.

you need to grow up too..animals need care and the animals in their house don't get walked or cared for....don't get a pet if you can't handle them.....a sick animal should NOT be yelled at or threatened!!!!!

stephanie- | June 3, 2009 8:10 PM | Reply

Dean, walk your freakin dogs!!!!! Do you think they are independent-THEY ARE NOT. I don't know how you can even consider yourself a dog lover. You are an immature man who acts like a little boy when the slightest problem arises. Grow up Dean and act like the man you are supposed to be. So you didn't have a male role model. Pick a grown up man who is responsible and work to act like him. That doesn't mean having hissy fits when a dog is sick. You also were sick and no one screamed at you or your son promising to get rid of either of you. What are you thinking. The dog is SICK...and you need to get the dog to a vet!!!!! If you can afford a big ass house..you should be able to afford a freakin vet visit to rule out all the things that can be causing your dog to do this all the time....

You are a total ass. Get a job. You are lazy and shiftless. Who the fu*k cares about your racing? And any man who is mean to animals is evil. You have FOUR children and you ride the coat-tails of Tori. Mama jew is not going to come through with any money. Tori works all the hours she can and all you have to contribute is your views on racing.
What a triffling ass.

I'm watching an episode of your show and I am so disappointed in Dean and Tori. Dean you need to stop being selfish and help your wife. She plays both the wife and husband role. If you ask me your just extra baggage. I have yet to see Tori leave you with the kids and you do all the work while she goes and does something for herself. Tori, it's like your his mom not his wife. You are a brilliant woman, an excellent mother, a great provider. Dean is just another expenses. How does he hardly work yet spend all your hard earn money? He can't even be considerate to help you more since your the provider. One day you will realize that you were better off without him. Dean, you seem like a very nice guy, but it's time to grow up and stop depending on your wife for everything before she realizes that she's better off without you. Good Luck!

You would think in late 30's mom would grow-up and knock off the "it's about me" attitude.
& Dean needs to get a job, Tori needs to stop supporting this struggling not so good actor.

HELLO DEAN! GO PRODUCE! If you want to be in the industry - Produce a show, produce a film for your wife and stop trying to get famous. Tori is the brand, not you. You are coming off as a wannabe. Instead of a business man.

I was a fan of the show until the last few
episodes and I realized what you really are.

Too self-absorbed. Dense. Where are the religious values. Soooome part of their life that reflects what every intelligent person would do - to incorporate sooooome type of religious values???

Are we raising the children to be athiest?
I guess so. Where are the prayers at bedtime, mealtime. Church, faith together??

What are they teaching their children?
Oh, wait we're too busy trying to be
movie stars to worry about that totally deep stuff that grown-ups do...

Keep trying to get there Dean. Wherever there is.
Good luck.

The last few episodes turned me off of both of you.

I agree that it's very frustrating to housetrain a pet. Some pets are untrainable it seems. I am such an animal lover that it just upset me that Dean got so frustrated with the dog and it was displayed so blatantly on the show. He was so angry that Tori chose to gather the girls and leave. I shuddered to think what happened to the dog after Dean went into the room. Tori was obviously pretty upset herself.
Of course, no one enjoys cleaning up diarrhea and especially while being ill.
I just hope and pray the little doggie was unharmed and Dean learns to have more patience with her. As pet owners, we must have tremendous, never ending, patience. Otherwise, the pet should be re-homed to a family that has more time and alot more patience. We all have bad days and don't feel well. I have empathy for Dean as much as anybody but the dog shouldn't be victimized.
I also think it would be a wonderful idea to find time to walk the dogs more and make sure they're getting out regularly. Equally, someone needs to investigate what gave the dog such bad diarrhea. It seemed it wasn't the first time this happened so it's time for different food or checking into possible allergies, illnesses, etc.

I hope Dean, or someone with the network, is reading all these comments so awareness is raised on this issue.

Thanks to all for the support on my comment. I really appreciate the fact that there are other animal lovers out there that noticed this as well.

Hi Dean,
Your fans know you're a fearless macho dude, but once you become a husband & dad it's time to rethink the sports you engage in. Your fans don't wont to see you in a wheelchair or worse..just flip the situation around how would you feel if Tori was the one putting her life in danger on purpose engaging a highly dangerous sport?
Do you think Liam & Stella would understand?


OMG - I completely agree with Dean on the dog!!! It will drive you insane to have to continue to clean SH** up. I have a cat that will do that beside the litter box and I threaten to get rid of him everytime but I never do. He was just feeling bad and talking out of anger...you have to give Dean a break...he was tired and so is Tori just like the rest of us.

I'd like to compliment the both of you for providing us with a small glimpse of your lives. It's fascinating and funny. It reminds me of the "I Love Lucy" shows.

live for the dvds laureli! im in Aust. too i really wish oxygen hadn't changed the site =( u miss out on what all the fans are talking about. i rely on youtube at the moment, but u can get dvds from www.hidefdvd.com.

stay safe,dean!

It is very frustrating when you have had a dog for a while and have tried everything to housetrain it and it continuously craps all over the place. I actually laughed when Tori told Dean about the incident because I can so relate. I too get frustrated and say that I'm going to give my dog away but as soon as I'm done cleaning it up I look at my puppy and smile. I'm sure Dean was not being cruel. He was tired and not feeling well and the last thing he wanted to do was clean up diarrhea from the floor.

Terri, I totally agree. The dog cannot help diarrehea. If the dog is not totally housebroken it is the people,s fault not the dog. I agree with you also, I enjoyed the show until tonight, but, will no longer watch the show. Dogs are dogs, not people.

Yes, I understand Dean's frustration, but dogs don't poop (or spew diarrhea) in the house out of spite. It seems like the dogs never get walked- sending them out to the back yard isn't the same as taking them for exercise. Maybe Tori and Dean could hire a dogwalker.

In tonight's episode of Tori and Dean....one of the dogs has diarrhea and Dean gets mad at the dog because of this????? Are you crazy? It's what you're feeding her. How can it be her fault? I liked this show until tonight and I won't watch it anymore. This is insane. Dean, how would you like it if you had diarrhea and someone decided to get mad at you or get rid of you? You're an idiot!!!

Dean, my husabnd has been riding since he was a kid, and my father raced when I was your sons age. You and my honey are so similar in hobbies, and smart ass funny comments lol. I think you should be able to keep ridding if that is what you are happy doing. As long as you are taking every precaution to be safe like ALWAYS wearing a helmut ect. Tori should try to be as supportive as you are with all of the endevours she takes on. My husband has a stunt video out that I think you would get a kick out of. I do hope that Tori will break down her fear wall on this one and maybe just go for a ride with you. Then maybe she can feel the freedom you feel when you are on that bike. You would also enjoy a motorcycle run put on by the Oakland fire department called Safe and Sane which is a ride in Nor cal from a small town on the Delta up highway 88 into south Lake Tahoe. My dad started this ride like 30 years ago & the proceeds from the ride go to a charity for childer burn victims. The ride is in August usally leaves on a Sunday & home on Monday!!! Be safe!!! EnjoY!!!

Dear Dean, I am writing to you from Perth, Australia. I am a 31yr old woman who absolutely for a long time have been an avid Tori fan and since she has met you and you've had 2 beautiful children I am a big fan of your whole family. I'm a little disappointed though that I can't watch any episodes of your show. This website used to make available videos of previous shows to Australia, but now when I try to click to watch the videos it states they are not available from my location, therefore the only way to keep up to date is to read all your blogs and see the photos. Pay tv here does not have the new season thus far. Wishing you all the best of health, and happiness always. My wish is to one day meet you all, but being down under it seems an impossibility.
Your fan, Laureli Anne xxx :)
