Some people skip their high school reunions because they're fat or unsuccessful or they don't want to run into the people who were mean to them. Svelte TORI SPELLING won't attend the Beverly Hills, 90210 10-year high school--reunion show, airing on Fox May 11, because "she's moved on," her publicist says.
