Expectant mum Tori Spelling hasn’t registered for traditional baby gifts and will instead have a baby shower hosted by plastic container company Tupperware.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star and husband Dean McDermott are planning the party next week at a Los Angeles cafe.

A source tells E! Online: “It’s a couples’ shower, meaning it’s not all girls. It’s not a luncheon, but drinks and appetisers later in the day.”

Writer Patrick Marber has said he is looking forward to the forthcoming Oscars ceremony in Hollywood.

Marber, who has received a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination for Notes On A Scandal, told the BBC News website, “I love a bit of hoopla. But then I come from a very tawdry end of the business, having been a comedian.”

“I think of myself as being in showbusiness, whereas my playwright friends think of themselves as being in the literary world.”
