Mother-Daughter Venom

Just when you thought Spelling vs. Spelling couldn’t get any more venomous, mama Spelling pens a poisonous open letter to her famous daughter Tori in an effort to keep the war alive. Mission accomplished! I won’t re-print the note Candy Spelling had TMZ.com publish yesterday (you can read the anti-love letter in its entirety here), but I can’t help but address some of the choicer lines, as they do illustrate the essence of the mother-daughter tightrope walk and the sad legacy both women are leaving behind for their children/grandchildren. Candy begins by calling her 36-year-old daughter “middle-aged” (a pointed jab … Continue reading →

Candy Spelling Spills Again

Posted on by

I’ve always found it strange when mothers and daughters are at odds. I know it is probably close minded, but I had a wonderful relationship with my mother and the fact that she is gone now only makes it more difficult for me to understand when I hear about celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Tori Spelling being on the outs with their mothers. But, after reading the latest news, I think I may be starting to understand, at least in Tori’s case. If Candy Spelling is really trying to reconcile with daughter Tori like she claims from time to time, … Continue reading →

Public Mother-Daughter Feuds

Mother-daughter relationships are notoriously challenging, just ask Candy and Tori Spelling. The famous mother-daughter team has had their tightrope walk chronicled in the media for nearly 20 years, and now their war of words has hit a crescendo. Claiming she’s been banished from her daughter’s life, Candy Spelling just posted an emotional public letter to Tori, pleading with her to end their bitter feud and repair their fractured relationship. “You haven’t responded to my emails, phone calls and text messages,” the 63-year-old widow of legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling wrote on her website. “You say you look at my website, … Continue reading →

More Behind the Spelling Home Sale

I thought maybe the 56,500 square foot home was just too much for Candy Spelling, but apparently there is a little more behind her decision to put The Manor up for sale. Candy told PEOPLE magazine that she would have never put The Manor up for sale if she thought she would ever reconcile with daughter Tori and her family. She said, “If I had any hope that I would have a relationship with my grandchildren I would never sell this house.” Candy, who will be moving to a $47 million dollar condo with the same square footage as her … Continue reading →

Spelling Family Home for Sale

If you happen to have $150 million lying around (come on, check those sofa cushions!), you can purchase a really lovely Los Angeles home. Aaron Spelling, known for such television hits as “Charlie’s Angels,” “Dynasty,” and “Beverly Hills 90210,” died in 2006 from a stroke at the age of 83. His widow Candy has now decided to put their lusciously extravagant house up for sale. She allowed her Wheaten Terrier Madison pick out the real estate agent for the job by seeing how the dog reacted. The job finally went to Sally Forster Jones, an agent for Coldwell Banker Previews … Continue reading →

Downsizing Hollywood Style

Of course, “downsizing” is relative when you’re talking about people who drop $500 a day so their dog can get a massage. So when you see headlines screaming: “Candy Spelling is Scaling Back” don’t get ready to hand over your hanky just yet. The bazillionaire widow of TV mogul Aaron Spelling and the mother of reality TV star Tori Spelling is selling her world-famous 56,500 square foot Holmby Hills estate (better known as Los Angeles County’s largest home) and moving into a paltry 16,500 square foot penthouse. According to the Los Angeles Times, Spelling just shelled out $47 million of … Continue reading →

Hollywood’s Biggest Winners

Now that we took care of the losers, I thought it would be interesting to focus on some celebrities, who for some reason or another are able to keep their winning streak alive. I’ll start with Candy Spelling. With a name like that you would think that she lives a sweet life… and you’d be right. Tori’s mommy dearest has got to be one of the luckiest women in the world (at least financially). Not only did she inherit zillions when her Hollywood TV mogul husband passed away a couple of years ago, but the woman has an unbelievable talent … Continue reading →

The Rich Get Richer

Just when I think I have a firm grasp on the way the world works—BAM! Tori Spelling’s mom wins the lottery. Okay, not exactly the lottery, but Candy Spelling did hit the jackpot during a recent trip to Las Vegas—-more than once. Get this: A few days ago Tori’s millionaire mom (the widow of gazillionaire TV mogul Aaron Spelling) reportedly cashed in while playing the $100 slot machines at the Bellagio Hotel and took home $100,000. But her luck didn’t end there. According to news reports, Spelling continued to win, eventually raking in more than $300,000. By the end of … Continue reading →

Drama Queen Lives Up To Her Name

There are drama queens… and then there are Paris Hilton-like drama queens. The former find it seemingly impossible to ride life’s ups and downs and often make mountains out of molehills by twisting facts or misinterpreting events so they can appear to be the victim. The latter, well, let’s just say they are in their own self absorbed universe and it’s rare when their daily actions aren’t covered by a flock of photographers and reporters. Such is the life of Paris Hilton, only in the days following her sentence of 45 days behind bars for violating probation the socialite has … Continue reading →

Tori Spelling: “Motherhood Rocks”

Have you ever visited Tori Spelling’s MySpace page? Let’s say it’s interesting (to say the least). Her latest blog entry details her journey into motherhood. What? You didn’t hear? Spelling and husband Dean McDermott welcomed their first child together, a son, last week. The couple named their little bundle of joy Liam Aaron McDermott. The baby’s middle name is a tribute to the actress’s late father, legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling who died last June. Liam is the first child for Spelling, while McDermott has an 8-year-old son, Jack with his ex-wife. Spelling reacted to her new role as “mom” … Continue reading →
