CANDY SPELLING IS DELIGHTED THAT TORI IS NOW SINGLE

Tori Spelling and her mom Candy have finally made up after years of being estranged. Candy recently told a reporter on the red carpet that she’s finally prepared to financially support Tori and her kids, so they’ll never have to worry about money again, now that Tori is divorcing her soon-to-be ex- husband, Dean McDermott. Candy has made no secret of the fact that she wasn’t a fan of Dean’s, but that’s not the only reason for her financial change of heart. At 78-years-old, Candy is starting to realize that she doesn’t want to live alone, and it would be a good idea to live with family members. After selling that huge Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills, California, Candy moved into a penthouse condo in nearby Century City, but now she’s looking for a house in her old neighborhood so she Tori and Tori‘s children can all live together. Tori got lucky.

Candy Spelling Money Motel Papparazzi Tori Spelling

TORI SPELLING LIVING IN A BUDGET MOTEL?

Tori Spelling was recently photographed outside of a budget motel in a less than glamorous part of Los Angeles, where she has apparently been staying since splitting from her husband, Dean McDermott. Some people close to Tori suspect the entire thing was a ploy to guilt her mom Candy into opening her change purse! Although Tori has pled poverty in her past, the insider says that’s it’s highly unlikely Tori and her 5 kids actually stayed at the modest property. Even more suspicious, paparazzi don’t stake out those types of motels expecting to find celebrities. “The entire thing reeks of one of Tori’s tricks to embarrass her mom to give her more cash,” the insider told me. “Plus she likely got paid for tipping off the photographer, so after the photos were taken, she probably left and checked into somewhere more comfortable.”

Candy Spelling Dean McDermott Tori Spelling True Tori

CANDY SPELLING CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT DEAN MCDERMOTT

When their marital troubles began, Candy Spelling hoped that her daughter Tori and her husband Dean would patch things up for the sake of their four children. But since the sordid cheating – sex rehab details started playing out on their reality series True Tori, Candy is rethinking the matter. Candy and Tori do not have a smooth mother-daughter relationship. Wealthy widow Candy didn’t hand her kids a bundle of money – she gave them “enough to do something – not enough to do nothing.” She wanted them to be productive on their own. And Tori HAS worked hard – writing books and doing TV. It might be a GOOD thing that Tori doesn’t have much money because if she and Dean divorce he could use the kids to take her to the cleaners. Supposedly Candy is even considering paying off Dean to leave quietly if it becomes necessary. She wants what’s best for her grandchildren.

Candy Spelling Real Estate Reality Shows Tori Spelling

CANDY SPELLING – A HOARDER?

What makes an already famously wealthy person want to appear on a reality show? Candy Spelling certainly doesn’t need the money and everybody knows who she is. We get the feeling she senses that people disapprove of her extravagance sand she wants the world to know what a “nice, normal person” she really is. Hmmm…That’s the only explanation we can come up with for her doing the HGTV show “Selling Spelling Manor.” The show reveals Candy’s dilemma: she has to pack up and move from a 56,600 sq ft, 123 room house to a 16,000 sq ft penthouse condo. Rooms are jampacked with French antiques and her collections of dolls, beanie babies, Aaron Spelling’s scripts. etc. Candy had to pack and leave in 30 days and started to question if she had become an upscale hoarder. She parked mountains of stuff, mostly in boxes, into a 20,000 sq ft storage facility. Unless her kids Randy and Tori go through all those boxes, it might end up on “Storage Wars” in 30 years.

Candy Spelling Paris Hilton Real Estate

CANDY SPELLING IS IN NO RUSH TO UNLOAD HER MANSION

Candy Spelling’s 150 million dollar mansion has been on the market for eight months and she will not budge on her asking price. Candy’s in no rush to sell, but we’re betting her real estate agent, Rick Hilton (that’s Paris Hilton’s dad) would like to close the deal. The 56,500 sq ft, 4.7 acre property – it’s larger than the White House – has had a number of qualified lookers, but no takers. Hilton specializes in trophy properties and this is perhaps the biggest trophy of all in Los Angeles. He stands to make millions when it finally sells, but since Candy is stubborn, he’ll just have to relax and wait.

Candy Spelling Kids Parents Tori Spelling

CANDY SPELLING COULDN'T RECALL HER GRANDDAUGHTER'S NAME

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Tori Spelling’s book “Stori Telling” is a fun read and it reveals a lot of personal things about her mother Candy that may or may not have been remembered with total accuracy. Anyway, Candy was indignant about the book for a long time and she and Tori only made up after Tori’s first child Liam was born. However, it seems Candy is not exactly a doting grandma. At the Juicy >Couture opening party in New York, someone asked Candy how Tori’s new baby daughter is doing and Candy couldn’t remember the baby’s name! She blamed it on the champagne. (Her name is Stella and she’s doing fine.)
