Candy Spelling, the widow of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling (Dynasty, Love Boast, Beverly Hills 90210) recently penned a book, dishing on her glammy Hollywood life. This comes after her famous daughter, Tori, had a #1 bestselling book last year called “sTori Telling," in which she portrayed her mom a somewhat of a Mommie Dearest. The book did nothing to help the mother-daughter’s already strained relationship, which has been especially distant since Aaron’s death in 2006.
In fact, during her appearance on 20/20 last week, Candy Spelling revealed that she hasn’t even met Tori’s nine-month old daughter Stella yet, and revealed she doesn’t even know where Tori lives. Sad, sad story, especially since Candy is the only living grandparent for grandchildren Liam and Stella.
So what will Candy’s book be about? “Stories from Candyland," which will be in stores on March 31, will give readers a glimpse of the glamorous life of Mrs. Spelling, from her “trophy wife” life in their 56,000 square foot mansion, “The Manor," (which is currently on the market with an asking price of 150 million) to Candy’s own personal insecurities and problems (hint: she’s a hoarder). While Candy is carefully to say that “Stories from Candyland” is not a tell-all book, there’s sure to be mention of her troubled relationship with her daughter. After all, she wants to sell books, doesn’t she?
Meanwhile, Tori Spelling’s latest book, titled “Mommywood” is due out on April 14, just two weeks after her mother’s literary debut. After the success of her first book (which was a tell-all), Spelling is back with hilarious tales of being a famous mom in the spotlight. With a baby and a toddler in her house, Spelling is the harried working mom. “Mommywood” promises to be another bestseller for Tori Spelling.
So with an estranged mother and daughter set to release books within weeks of each other, the burning question is: Who will make it to #1 in the New York Times bestseller list first?
