A Christmas Miracle! We No Longer Need to Hear from the Spelling Ladies!

For those who were sick to death of hearing Candy Spelling publicly humiliate her daughter, and her daughter, Tori somewhat retaliating (and who could blame her), it will delight you all to know that the feud between the famous Spelling women is over! This comes after Candy has blamed her daughter for Aaron Spelling’s death, rumors swirled that Tori got “nothing” in her father’s will, and the fact that Tori and her semi-famous husband, Dean McDermott, refused to let Candy see either of her grandchildren. Well really, can you blame them? But it’s all over once and for good it seems. In fact, the two have even agreed to not only repair their relationship but to do it ‘privately.’ This is indeed the best Christmas present they could have given us. From US,

“Candy Spelling is glad that she and daughter Tori are finally speaking after years of estrangement.

But don’t expect her to dish on their reconciliation.

“We both decided to [communicate] privately, so I know that everyone will respect that because it kind of got out of hand when it wasn’t the other way,” she told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the UNICEF Ball in Beverly Hills.

Tori’s husband, Dean McDermott, recently told Us that Candy, 63, spent time with grandson, Liam, 2, and even met granddaughter Stella, 1, for the first time.

“Oh my God, she is adorable!” Candy told Us. “She is bright. Well, they both are bright — what can I say? You know what, they are the most beautiful children, but I am not a prejudiced grandmother!’

She is looking forward to spoiling them around the holidays.

“Of course, I have to have things for them to unwrap, so they know coming to grandma’s is a fun place where I have their toys and they get new toys,” she says. “But I don’t let them taken them home. They have to play with them at my house.”

I’m tempted to say something about how it’s kind of mean to give a kid a present and then not let them take it home to play with them. Or how I can’t believe that Tori has actually forgiven her for all the nasty tricks she pulled. But forget it. They’re keeping quiet for now and I don’t want to get them going again.

Candy Spelling Rages at her Daughter Through TMZ

Candy Spelling makes me nauseous. Tori Spelling also used to turn my stomach some but, with the recent plays her mother has made in the media, I tend to feel bad for Tori and find myself rooting for her a tiny bit. In the past Candy has gone and talked to the media about how the stress that Tori placed on her dad was what killed him in the end. And that’s bad, and maybe even worse than what she’s done this time, but now she’s gone to another media outlet to hurl some more insults towards her daughter.

Candy wrote an email message to TMZ and it was actually a “message” to “middle-aged reality show stars (like my daughter.)” The whole thing was a rant about how she hasn’t met her granddaughter and she was insulted that she would be invited to do so for the first time on national television. I kind of see her point but the whole thing would be much more effective if she had kept her thoughts to herself. From TMZ,

“Candy Spelling — the mother famously at war with her daughter — has taken the bold step of communicating with Tori Spelling through TMZ … and her opening line isn’t gonna get her a lot of invites. Here’s the open letter in all its glory:

EXCLUSIVE TO: TMZ.COM
TO: MIDDLE-AGED REALITY SHOW STARS (LIKE MY DAUGHTER)
FROM: CANDY SPELLING

I Know many middle-aged people have issues about their parents and their upbringing. I did. My memories didn’t match all those of my mother, and, funny thing, it’s the same way with my daughter.

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 glaces. Clue 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. At the time I emailed “yes,” I didn’t realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter’s reality show.

Spoiler alert. Don’t read this if you plan to sit through an hour of people looking at their watches and saying “she’s late.” I decided my first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending.

Back to other reality stars. My husband taught me that the plots have to be fresh and updated. The same old whining gets tired after a while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it.

For all the reality show personalities, please remember that real life doesn’t get edited to make things better or worse or get better ratings. You’re responsible for what you do. Life isn’t just a show. And your families can’t just be props. Make your own season finale without creating conflicts you will regret later.”

So my point is that if she had quietly declined the invite, and explained her feelings to Tori, it may have been much more effective. Saying that you shouldn’t use your family as props in the media, and then turning around and doing the exact same thing yourself just completely discredits you. And, it’s not like Tori hasn’t allowed her children to meet their grandmother for good reason. Candy Spelling has done many horrible things to her daughter in the past, including blaming her daughter for her husband’s death. She’s also gone to the media at every opportunity, and has said vile things about Dean McDermott, Tori’s husband. So, why should she be running the kids over to grandma’s?

Why Do These Two Keep Talking?

Candy and Tori Spelling have one of the most famous parent/child feuds in all of Hollywood. It may have all started when Tori’s famous dad, Aaron Spelling died but I think the trouble probably started long before that and that his death was just a tragic event that sent the whole thing on a downward spiral. But ever since that time the two have come out slinging mud at each other and while Tori really has seemed to try and take some sort of high road, using her book and only her own book to tell her very polite side of the story, Candy has chosen another tactic. She’ll talk to anyone who’ll listen about what a horrible daughter she has, how she’s never met her grandchildren, and the latest - that Tori killed her dad. Wow. That’s an all-time low. From Contact Music,

“Los Angeles socialite CANDY SPELLING has sensationally revealed her daughter TORI’s decision to cut her family out of her life killed her TV mogul father.
Mother and daughter have waged a bitter war of words ever since Aaron Spelling died in 2006, with Candy recently going public with the fact she has yet to meet her grandchildren.
But the relationship between her and actress-turned-reality TV star Tori has hit a new low thanks to remarks Candy made during a radio interview on Thursday morning (28May09).
Spelling told the Kellogg Crew on 94.7 WMAS in Massachusetts that her daughter’s estrangement from her parents “killed my husband. He just didn’t want to live after that.”
She added, “He’d done everything he could possibly do for his daughter and then she wanted no part of him once he couldn’t do anything for her.”

Candy Spelling makes me physically nauseous and I wish she would just shut up already! Nobody cares about how she has to sell her grand mansion because it’s simply far too big for lil ol’ her and nobody cares about how she thinks her daughter killed her husband - which is nice by the way. So really, it’s not the both of them talking that bothers me but oh how I do wish that Candy would shut up!

Another Celebrity Mom tries to Make Rich

Celebrity families sure don’t operate as normal families do. Not only must you worry about every little thing you do ending up in a tell-all book but grandparents also don’t worry about spending time with their grandkids going to the park or baking cookies. Rather, that’s not what they’ll miss should they lose out on time with their grandkids.

Candy Spelling, mother of Tori Spelling and wife of the late Aaron Spelling, has one of those tell-all books and more than that, she wants to tell her story of how her husband died, her daughter hates her, and how she’s going to live out the rest of her life a lonesome grandmother, to just about anyone who will listen. I’m always a little skeptical of celebrity parents that try to make money off of their kid’s accomplishments but this one is just extra-pathetic. Candy has done her own mud-slinging and name calling towards her daughter and has done things, such as publicly voicing her disapproval of Tori’s husband, Dean McDermott, time and time again. I actually don’t blame Tori for not wanting anyone in her family in that environment. From People,

“Candy Spelling is starting a new chapter in her life, which includes writing a frank memoir called Stories From Candyland – and selling the $150 million, 56,000-square-foot mansion where she’s lived since 1991.

Spelling, whose book is due out March 31, plans to move from her five-acre French Chateau-style mansion into a $47 million condo with 17,000 square feet; the same footage as her current attic. But she tells PEOPLE that she’d never have put Spelling Manor on the market if she thought she’d reconcile with her estranged daughter Tori, her husband Dean, and their two children, Liam and Stella.

“I don’t see Tori and Dean anymore,” the 63-year-old grandmother tells PEOPLE. “I used to see Liam, but no longer. And I’ve never met Stella.”

Despite the family’s fracturing, Spelling says: “If I had any hope that I would have a relationship with my grandchildren I would never sell this house. I’ve fantasized for years about a wonderful playhouse on the grounds for children.”

Although she spent four years planning the home before she moved in, she’s selling it now because, “It’s just me in this big house,” explains Spelling.

“Someday my grandchildren will know who I am because of the trust funds I’ve set up, but I would like to be part of their lives now,” says Spelling. “I would have loved to have built that playhouse for them.”

I honestly can’t believe that she goes on and on about this stupid playhouse and then throws in at the end that she wants them to know who she is. And again, with celebrity families, you know who people are by the money they give you. Nice. I have less sympathy or respect for Candy Spelling than I do for Lynne Spears, and that’s saying something.
