Spelling Bee: Let Bygones be Bygones
Written by Vicki Salemi on May 7, 2009 – 1:07 am -
Huge fans here at Paparazzi Parenting! If you grew up watching Kelly, Donna, Dylan, and Brandon, join the par-tay! So any time we hear about one of the crew in the news, our ears perk up and we simply soak it all in. (And by we I mean I. Yes, I’m such a 90210 junkie!)
Tori Spelling and her mom, Candy, are apparently in the no-talking zone. Still. As in do not pass go, do not collect $200. Okay, that so did not fit. But you know what I’m sayin’. We can’t speculate, we truly can’t, as to why they’re not speaking or who is at fault, but come on now.
We only get one chance at this lifetime, it is not a round-trip but rather a one-way destination. (OK, how grim does that sound!) Candy has reportedly never met her newest grandchild Stella and though she previously saw Liam, Tori’s first child, she hasn’t seen him in a while.
Candy’s new book, Stories from Candyland, is in stores right now telling her side of the story. Her husband, Aaron Spelling, who died in 2007, was a mastermind of all the shows we grew up watching like 90210, Melrose Place, and, ah yes, The Love Boat! (”Exciting and new, come aboard, we’re expecting you!”) In fact, Candy is selling the $150 million mansion where she’s lived since 1991.
The 63-year-old is downsizing to a condo and has stated she hasn’t given up hope yet and has a playroom in case Liam and Stella ever visit her.
While we don’t know the whole story as to why they’re estranged, we do know this: life is short.
Do you think Tori and Candy should let bygones be bygones and kiss and make-up? Seriously. Everyone loses out in this situation. Their kids don’t know their grandmother. They certainly will never know their grandfather. Kinda heartbreaking, yes?
