Did you read Candy Spelling’s letter to Tori this morning? I still can’t get over it!

When you think your mom is too much to handle, just be thankful you don’t have Candy Spelling as a mother!

Candy Spelling has never met her granddaughter, Stella.  She was invited to celebrate Stella’s first birthday, but apparently refused to attend – because the event was being filmed by Oxygen for Tori & Dean’s TV Show. Candy has chosen TMZ as a way of communicating with her daughter – and it’s terrible!! Here’s the latest open letter Candy sent to TMZ:

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.

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. 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.

OUCH!!

Tori Spelling has written a children’s book.

The actress – who has previously penned autobiographies ‘STORItelling’ and ‘Mommywood’ – has revealed her latest literary venture, but admits it won’t be in the shops any time soon.

She said: “I just wrote an illustrated children’s book. It’s going to be launching in about a year, but I just finished the text.”

Tori – who is estranged from her mother Candy Spelling – has two children with husband Dean McDermott, Liam, two, and 13-month-old Stella is sharing her favourite childhood books with them until she is able to read them her own work.

She added: “Liam’s favorite is ‘Goodnight Moon’ by Margaret Wise Brown. I introduced him to that because when I was little, my mom used to read that to me and I loved it!”

Tori’s most recent venture was also for children.

The 36-year-old star has designed a range of kids’ clothes, Little Maven, which she says is inspired by the garments worn by Liam and Stella.

It is due to hit shops later this year.
