Kelly Ripa Urges Candy Spelling to Reconcile With Tori

LilSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:12:58 -0700

Can't families just get along? The cohosts of Live! With Regis and Kelly certainly think so. The duo seem to be playing matchmakers this week, or rather rematchmakers. Yesterday, Regis told Kate Gosselin he sees a Cinderella ending for her and Jon. Then this morning, Kelly urged Candy Spelling to reconnect with her daughter Tori, even offering to sit down and have dinner and a drink with them so they could let bygones be bygones. Guest host Anderson Cooper seems to be the only one who doesn't own a pair of rose-colored glasses. The newsman called Candy out on the letter she posted to Tori on TMZ, asking her why she thought that was the way to end an estranged relationship. Do you think Candy and Tori should put their differences aside?

Candy Spelling Publicly Attacks Tori...Again!

LilSugar — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 00:03:13 -0700

When Candy Spelling wrote an appreciation of Mommy Dearest, Joan Crawford, my eyes popped. While her recent attack on daughter Tori via TMZ isn't as shocking, it still bewilders the mother in me. Why would a parent choose to publicly criticize their child? To decide for yourself and check out a portion of what the elder Spelling wrote, read more. She said:

Life has consequences. What you say is on the record. Other people have feelings.

I have a vested interest in this subject. My daughter, Tori's, two-part season finale revolves around my granddaughter's first birthday party
and how she has made what seems like an agonizing decision to invite me.

Cue music. Cue sideways glances. Cue Lights.

I did get an invitation just in time for the RSVP deadline. I'm sure its delivery will be on next week's episode with some comment about my house or driveway or street or something they won't like. I wonder if that will be spread out over one part or two. Sigh.

A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too.

Do you think Candy has a point in taking Tori to task or is the Spelling matriarch just being completely inappropriate?

Family Ties: Candy Spelling Tells Her sTori on Babble

LilSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:00:00 -0700

The public airing of family laundry is always awkward, but Candy Spelling took it to a new level yesterday when she took a stab at daughter, Tori in a piece she wrote about the revenge of children for the parenting blog, Babble. Perhaps, the initial shock was that it came in the form of an appreciation of infamous Mommie Dearest, Joan Crawford, whom the widow of television mogul, Aaron Spelling says she pities.

While Candy does cite Joan's career milestones, it's hard for today's generation of moms and dads to get past the movie star's association with wire hangers. And, the allegations her daughter, Christina Crawford made in her book.

I don't doubt that Tori's shameless promotion of her tell-all, sTori Telling on everything from The View to a bikini photo shoot is hard for her mother to digest. But as a mom, I can't fathom writing a pointed commentary targeting my own flesh and blood.

Can you?

Spelling Saga Continues - Tori Gets Denied

PopSugar — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 10:05:37 -0700

Poor Tori can't catch a break. She spoke out about how she was coping with her father's passing and was even planning a tribute on ABC in Aaron's honor. At least she was until Candy crushed that idea. In the latest chapter of the best Aaron Spelling soap opera, mother and daughter are at it once again. Here's more:

A special tribute to the late TV producer Aaron Spelling to be hosted by daughter Tori will not air on ABC this fall as planned – after Spelling's widow and Tori's mother, Candy Spelling, blocked the project, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

Tori was to have served both as host and executive producer of the ABC tribute, according to the source, who said: "All of his (Aaron's) stars had signed on and some interviews had already been taped. … But Candy wouldn't release the clips of his shows because Tori was involved in the project. She had it killed."

Candy Spelling's representative, Kevin Sasaki, confirmed to PEOPLE that she had "talked to ABC about releasing the clips for the tribute," but denies that Candy stopped the show. Instead, he says, "she didn't feel the timing was right … since the Emmys were doing a big tribute to her husband around the same time."

Spelling Saga Continues - Sucks to be Tori

PopSugar — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:22:37 -0700

Daddy's little girl is not getting spoiled anymore. Aaron Spelling is leaving behind a $500 million fortune but it looks like Tori will get less than $1 million. Extra reports:

As the tabloid-soaked story makes the latest cover of Us Weekly, the magazine's Katrina Szish told us the feud could turn into a dynasty duel. "Extra" has obtained a copy of Spelling's will, and the secret inside could spell trouble for Tori.

"Tori and her mom, Candy, have been estranged and feuding for years," Szish said. "Candy is executor of the will, and therefore she is in charge of divvying up the $500 million fortune."

Us Weekly reports that Tori is set to inherit $200,000, plus $600,000 in investments, that is unless Tori's mother wants to give her more.

"Tori, Aaron's only daughter is getting less than a million dollars," Szish said. "And Candy's manicurist will get $25,000, and their home decorator will get $50,000."

Damn. That's gotta hurt. I wonder if Dean is now pissed he left his wife and kids for what he thought was a sure thing in terms of money and instead they will be in the poor house - at least in Hollywood terms.

Spelling Smackdown

PopSugar — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 00:38:47 -0700

Since Tori decided to make her father's death a tabloid cover story, her mother, Candy decided to let everyone know how they feel about Tori. Sad but true, the Spellings have become a real life soap-opera. Candy released this statement as reported by ET:

"We are deeply saddened that, during our time of loss and grief, we are forced to respond to the media frenzy caused by the mean-spirited and surprising comments made by Tori to the press, just two days after the passing of [AARON SPELLING]. As we try to honor his memory with love and respect, the sudden media frenzy she has created at this sensitive time is hurtful and very disturbing. Aaron's legacy deserved pure and unadulterated tribute and recognition which, sadly, has been tainted.

"Everyone deals with grief in a different way, and since Tori chose not to be here at that time, we believe she is having a harder time dealing with that loss. We understand how difficult it might have been for her to be here, and, perhaps, more difficult for her after she arrived. Aaron loved both his children with all his heart, and he understood how hard it was for her.

"We hope Aaron will be remembered with reverence and spirit for the monumental legacy he has left and not for the petty and tabloid headlines which have marred his articles of remembrance. We have mourned our great loss as a family and will continue to do so as that is what Aaron deserved."

Spelling Mansion For Sale?

PopSugar — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 02:29:13 -0700

Is Candy Spelling downsizing? TMZ is reporting that she may be selling the infamous mansion and letting staff go. For a measly $150 Mil you too can have a museum for your dolls, a bowling alley and more.

TMZ has learned that Candy Spelling, Aaron's widow, has quietly put the Spellings' legendary mansion on the market for $150 million.

Sources in the real estate industry say Westside Estate Agency (WEA) has a pocket listing on the 56,000 square foot estate, meaning it is is quietly being shopped among realtors and select buyers. The mansion, located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of L.A., was completed in 1991 for around $47 million, which includes $10 million for the land.

One real estate source says Candy Spelling has let a lot of people on the staff go and that the buzz is that she is going to shut the house down so it can be shown by realtors. Aaron Spelling died on June 23.
