Candy Spelling

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The new cast on Dancing with the Stars has been announced and the always hustling Tori Spelling has agreed to do the hustle for a big payday. Here’s what we just heard. Not only is Tori pocketing a nice paycheck for her twirl on the dance floor, but she’s been offered a bonus if she gets her mother, Candy Spelling to appear in the audience. The popular show attracts older viewers and given the tumultuous history between Tori and Candy, producers think having Candy show up to watch her daughter dance will bring in HUGE ratings.

With the election coming up it’s been a busy week for political gossip. Let’s start with Republican Liz Cheney. We’ve all known she was no fan of Donald Trump, but she came out this week and announced she would be voting for Kamala Harris. Here’s what we know. Liz and the vice president, although their political beliefs couldn’t be further apart, have mutual respect for one another. Kamala has already mentioned that she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet and I’m hearing that Republican will be Liz. That’s one of the reasons Liz came out and announced that she will be voting for Kamala. You can also expect to see her pop up in television commercials and on the campaign trail.

With the upcoming presidential debate only days away, we heard this funny anecdote. While Kamala is busy prepping for the debate, Donald Trump is taking another route. He is getting fitted for a waist cinching girdle, new lifts for his shoes, and wrinkle reducing treatments. According to my source Donald wants to appear thinner, taller, and younger, as he’s worried he is going to look like a frail old man next to Kamala, who is nearly 30 years younger.

In the last piece of political gossip today, Hunter Biden did a last-minute reversal in his criminal tax trial and announced he was going to plead guilty. We just heard this. The reasoning is he’s hoping to avoid a jail sentence, but if he is incarcerated, you can expect his father, President Joe Biden will pardon him during his last days in office. My source says that Biden is still disappointed that he was abandoned by the Democratic Party, and while he supporting Kamala’s run for president, he’s going to issue whatever pardons that he chooses since he’s leaving office without regard for the optics, and of course that includes his son.

Nikki Bella made the headlines this week when it was announced she was looking for a divorce lawyer to end her marriage to pro dancer Artem Chigvinstev but we heard there is much more to the story. According to my source, her soon to be ex-husband plans to subpoena her former boyfriend, John Cena to find out if Nikki ever got physically violent during their relationship. You’ll remember it was Artem who first called 911 to report that Nikki was throwing shoes at him, so don’t think for a minute that this split won’t get ugly.

Finally, the biggest news of the week was Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s break up contract. Although all sides insisted it was a fake and had no validity at all, my source says Taylor is LIVID. I just heard that Taylor is now insisting Travis let her management team handle all of their PR. Since the purported fake contract had the official letterhead from Travis‘s current team, Taylor is a little suspect that it didn’t come from them, despite the denials. Moving forward, you can expect Taylor’s ‘s team to be in charge of anything related to public relations.

TORI SPELLING REALLY WANTS TO BECOME A “HOUSEWIFE”

Tori Spelling might finally fulfill her dream of joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but there is one caveat – her glamorous and wealthy mom, Candy, must come along for the ride. Tori’s friendly with Bravo’s Andy Cohen and through the years has campaigned to be cast on the popular reality show. Now that she’s going through a dramatic divorce from her estranged husband Dean McDermott, Andy is seriously considering offering Tori a spot in the show, most likely as a friend of the Housewives – but he INSISTS that Candy agree to appear as well. As my source explains it, the most interesting part of Tori is her complicated relationship with her mom, and if that wasn’t enough -Candy can deliver the glam with her oversized jewels and penthouse in the sky. If Tori persuades her mom to do it, she’s IN!

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.

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 CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT DEAN MCDERMOTT

Tori-Spelling-Dean-#191cut

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 – 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.

TORI SPELLING’S DRESS LEFT LITTLE TO THE IMAGINATION

Tori Spelling’s little black dress wasn’t so little. On Sunday, Tori and Dean appeared at the GLAAD Media Awards and Tori got the room buzzing that she MUST be expecting baby #3 because her dress was shaped like a muu muu. Tori sensed the buzz and confessed via Twitter today that yes, indeed, she IS expecting another baby. Her mom Candy later gushed her excitement about the pregnancy on Facebook. Modern family.

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 COULDN'T RECALL HER GRANDDAUGHTER'S NAME

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.)
