      “Tori & Dean” (which begins anew on Tuesday) is itself an exercise in controversion, as Ms. Spelling’s attempts to avoid photographers with long lenses are in turn filmed by the camera crew she has invited to follow her around while she navigates life with her husband, Dean McDermott, and their children Liam and Stella Doreen.
