Reports that long-battling mother and daughter Candy Spelling and Tori Spelling have buried the hatchet are indeed true. Tori confirmed it herself in an interview with E!Online. Candy will be spending time with Tori and husband Dean McDermott, along with their two children Liam and Stella, this Christmas. I wonder if Candy will be using one of her Christmas wrapping rooms for the occasion? I think it’s nice that Liam and Stella have access to their grandmother, but I still can’t help but wonder: how much of this is Tori truly wanting to reconcile with her mom, and how much is a quest for ratings for her reality show? And what about Candy, who has proven herself to be a verbally abusive bitch over the last year – doesn’t she stand to gain some positive PR through this?
Talk about your Christmas miracles.
Tori Spelling and her estranged mom, Candy, are talking again, and the “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood” homemaker feels that the timing couldn’t be better.
“It’s just a blessing that it happened around the holidays,” she told E! News while perusing the holiday goodies at the eBay Mobile Boutique. “And it just makes me think, ‘Wow, it’s an amazing thing and it happened this year and it’s just the best gift we could get.’
“We’re together as a family, and that’s the most important thing. We’re very lucky.”
Not that her 18-month-old daughter, Stella, will believe it.
“Stella is talking up a storm,” Spelling said. “Her latest thing is, ‘I don’t believe this.’ She was eating her sandwich yesterday, and it came undone, and she looks at me and goes, ‘I can’t believe this.’
“I’m like, ‘Me either!’ ”
The cynic in me thinks this reconciliation is less of a “miracle” and more of a “sweeps week publicity stunt/Candy Spelling image rehabilitation exercise.” But hey, that’s just me. Time will tell if Candy turns out to be a better grandma than she was a mother. Something tells me that the second Grandma Candy suggests that little Stella needs a nosejob, it’s over – and rightfully so. But at the end of the day, families should be together at Christmas – as long as it’s in the privacy of their own home, without the glare of reality show cameras.
Candy Spelling looks like she’s audtitioning for MARS ATTACKS! in that first photo.
wow, candy…stick to the bangs look…showing your TENhead does you NO favors in the looks dept.
seriously, she looks like an animated corpse in that first shot.
EDIT: Neelyo, your comparison was much better… Mars Attacks, indeed.
Funny, Neelyo – I was actually going to comment that Tori looks like Michael Jackson in that first picture. What a pair…
They look like “The Coneheads” in first picture.
OMG CANDY SPELLING PUT YOUR BANGS BACK FOR THE LOVE OF PUPPIES AND KITTENS!
Candy Spellings forehead like Celine Dion’s heart goes on and on…
Tori needs to stick with the blonde hair, and Candy needs to start wearing a bag over her head.
Good for them, trying to work it out though. Tis the season.
So that’s what happened to Skeletor’s twin sister….
Funny, I like Tori with the dark hair.
I’m with you, crash2GO2. I like the dark hair better too. I always thought the blonde was too artificial on Tori. She’s obviously not a natural blonde. Dark eyes and dark eyebrows go much better with dark hair.
That’s all I got. Really don’t care about the story, LOL!
Aww c’mon, poor Candy’s just showing off her new botox work.
You can’t expect an old gal like her to go under those needles just to cover up the results.
Show a film on it, a slideshow even -it’s prime real estate.
Work that forehead, Candy, work it!
I like her better with the brown hair too because (and this is going to sound really horrible) the platinum blonde makes her features more noticable. With the brown hair, everything sort of…blends a little better, it’s a softer look.
Candy…holy crap. Seriously, Mars Attacks is right on. She should use some of her millions to have her hairline moved down from the top of her skull.
I think it’s probably all PR. They both got a lot of publicity mileage out of the whole feud thing, and once that all calmed down, they needed another way to get the attention again.
Mars Attacks-LOL! I used to watch that flick over and over. I might have to pull it out of the archives and watch it this weekend. Thanks, Candy!
Holey Moley with the forehead, Candy!
Not a fortunate hairdo for Ms. Spelling.
Another vote for the brunette.
I give them the benefit of the doubt. Family ties are very strong, even when severe personality disorders exist.
Strange, but true.
Candy needs some serious counseling. She is not well adjusted ( to put it mildly).
Hmm, I smell a new reality show…
That first photo was taken in 2001. I think the bangs are recent.
Good Lord, I don’t know which one of them looks more hideous. They both look like aliens.
