Spelling & Mcdermott Of Oxygen's 'TORI & DEAN' Join Friends To Style Wooden Eggs For Benefit

The true spirit of Spring was definitely in the air when Oxygen hosted a springtime premiere party for the newest season of Oxygen's "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," airing Mondays at 10 PM ET/PT.  Held at The Fairmont Santa Monica, the Springtime event featured a baby animal petting zoo, flower potting, face painting and egg decoration, celebrating both the series' fifth season as well as Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's commitment to supporting children in need.

At this star-studded gArden Party, egg painting was not only a fun-filled and creative activity for kids and adults (kids at heart!), but a way for Tori and Dean to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer. These uniquely creative, autographed designer eggs will be listed on eBay with all proceeds benefiting Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times®. The camp is a year-round cost free, medically supervised camp program for children with cancer and their families. At the camp, campers experience new adventures, make new friends and participate in a host of activities designed to foster independence and self-esteem.

"Any chance we can give back to children, especially to an organization so close to our hearts like Camp Ronald McDonald, is an amazing opportunity," says Tori Spelling. "We only hope this gesture can bring smiles to these special kids during the Spring season," adds Dean McDermott.

"This outing was so special and meaningful for our families who attended today," says Laurie Dubchansky, Executive Director of Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times.  "We are truly grateful to Tori and Dean for the kindness and generosity they have shown to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times over the years."

Guests Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin also joined Tori, Dean, their children, Liam and Stella, and the "Guncles," in lending their artistic talents to this heart-warming project. The eBay charity auction begins Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 7:00PM ET where the lucky winners will not only take home a celebrity decorated egg, including one by Tori closely resembling a 1920's version of herself, but will support this important cause in a fun way.

Faberge certainly has nothing on these eggs!

"Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" returns to Oxygen for season five on an all-new night of original programming, Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. This season Tori and Dean take a fun-filled road trip across America, giving an even closer look into the Spelling-McDermott family, including precious moments with Liam and Stella. The cross-country trip sets the season up for an intimate portrayal of the up's and down's of Tori and Dean's relationship, and how it ultimately affects their family. This week's season five premiere of Oxygen's "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" became the series' most watched season premiere among key demos.
