While “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Tori Spelling is no stranger to Hollywood glitz and glam, she recently admitted a certain A-list celebrity left her spellbound.
“I literally don’t get starstruck by anyone,” Spelling confessed to Fox News Digital at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet Monday night.
“I grew up in this business with my dad,” she explained, referring to her father, legendary producer Aaron Spelling. She then gestured to iconic musician Billy Idol, who was standing nearby, and added, “Seeing him right now, I’m at a loss for words.”

Although Spelling shared that she grew up surrounded by stars and has been immersed in the world of entertainment from an early age, she admitted how meeting Idol left her starstruck.
“I just met Billy Idol on the red carpet, so my evening is complete… I never ask for a selfie from anyone and I got one.”
