Candy Spelling hits a sour note

Tori Spelling’s mom, Candy, sure seems to be having daughter issues these days. In a sad, rambling and somewhat baffling blog on today’s Huffington Post, the widow of Aaron Spelling bemoaned… well… something. We’re not sure what, but it definitely had to do with Tori, and Candy getting elbow surgery and… well, you might have to tell us.
It all starts with a nurse telling Candy as she’s being wheeled into “yet another” elbow surgery, that her purse is “making the locker it’s in shake and vibrate.”
From there, Candy does a lot of complaining about how friends and family and acquaintances and — heavens to Betsy! — even strangers barrage her with phone calls and e-mails and questions and comments whenever Tori is in the news.
Well, with the release of her new book, sTori Telling, as well as the recent announcement that she is expecting her second child, Tori is, in fact, very much back in the news, which must mean that poor, put-upon Candy has to deal with people talking to her about her daughter. (The fact that Candy does this herself in a very public forum like the Huffington Post seems not at all hypocritical to her.)
In the end, though, Candy does explain that she has learned a lesson, which is, “even surgery doesn’t shield mothers of famous children from their escapades.” Actually, Candy, we’ve heard from our own parents that, no matter how old we get, nothing really shields mothers of any children from any of their escapades, but we’ll take your word for it in this case.

I enjoyed reading her blog. I thought it was funny and completely tongue-in-cheek … not meant to be taken seriously at all. Was I wrong? Is she really ranting?
