Tori Spelling Bites Hands That Gave Her Whatever Career She Has
so noTORIous Tori Spelling's attempt at capitalizing on the joke that is her life by basically reenacting it, transposing it to VH1 and calling it a "scripted comedy" premieres early next month, but her auction-obsessed mother Candy has seen the first episode, and, according to Page Six, is less than pleased:
TORI Spelling's parents, Aaron and Candy, have stopped speaking to her, sources say. "There is a scene in the first episode of her new show, 'So noTORIous,' in which she makes fun of the eBay room in her parents' house," a friend says. "Her mother has a huge shopping problem and has a whole room dedicated to the stuff she buys on the site. When Candy saw the episode, she threatened Tori and said she was going to sue her." Apparently, Tori and Candy's relationship had been strained for some time. Pals of Tori say when she and Dean McDermott got engaged, she sent her "cold" mother a note, inviting her to meet McDermott. "Candy sent back a note saying only, 'You need to get your things out of the apartment.' " (Tori and her ex-husband, Charlie Shanian, had lived in an apartment owned by her mom.) "The Insider" reports Spelling and McDermott plan to wed this summer. Spelling, via a rep, said: " 'So noTORIous' is a fictionalized account of my life after '90210' with fictional characters . . . We take poetic license with everyone and every story line on the show. With regard to my apartment, Dean and I wanted to start a new life together, so leaving the apartment I had for over 10 years was the right thing to do for both of us." The show premieres April 2 on VH1.
With her bottomless source of family income suddenly gone, Spelling will likely have to face some harsh light: If the series is cancelled, all she's left with is her newlywed actor husband Dean McDermott, who probably won't be pulling in much income due to his decision to turn his body into a giant flesh-canvas of Tori portraiture. It's a decision she'll have plenty of time to regret, especially when the first thing she sees after she wakes up every morning is his tricep, and her own sad eyes and perpetual bad hair day staring back.
