Christmas is traditionally a time of goodwill to all men – except for Tori Spelling, obviously, because come on.
She’s Tori Spelling. Goodwill only stretches so far, you know. But, anyway, this Christmas is different. Tori Spelling has finally found a fan. It’s her mother Candy Spelling. According to reports, Candy Spelling has done the unthinkable and invited Tori to her Christmas party.
Now, look. We know that a mother inviting her own daughter to a Christmas party might not seem especially newsworthy to you, but remember – this is Tori Spelling we’re talking about here. Would you invite Tori Spelling to your Christmas party? Of course not. If anything, Candy Spelling deserves a medal for selfless philanthropy.
There are countless reasons why you could potentially fall out with Tori Spelling. There’s the way she inexplicably tries to shoehorn her name into everything she ever does, like her TV show NoTORIous and her book sTORI Telling and presumably her forthcoming documentary Advanced HisTORIcal Materialism. Then there’s the fact that she was the worst thing in Beverly Hills 90210, even though that also starred Jason Priestley. Then there’s the fact she once starred in something Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? Then there’s, you know, her face and stuff.
But that’s not why Candy Spelling fell out with Tori Spelling. That’s a little more nuanced – when Tori’s father Aaron Spelling died in 2006, Tori assumed that she’d get a large wedge of his $500 million fortune. However, Candy Spelling, who was the executor of Aaron’s will, only gave Tori $800,000, and the pair fell out.
But who can blame Tori? That’s slightly less than a million dollars! Candy might as well have crapped in a shoebox and given that to her instead! How many weird, ill-advised cosmetic surgery procedures would she be able to afford with a measly $800,000? Hardly any, that’s how much!
Anyway, it seems like all of this bad blood is in the past, because Candy Spelling has invited Tori Spelling – plus her husband and presumably starving children – to her annual Christmas party. How delightful. OK! reports:
When asked in November if Tori and her hubby Dean McDermott would be guests, Candy exclusively told OK!, ?They are all invited. Let's just put it that way.? … The happy couple stayed at the 185 person event for three hours, TMZ reports, and it looks like all is well again for the wife of the late 90210 creator Aaron Spelling and his reality starlet daughter.
That’s great news, and we’re thrilled that Tori Spelling has finally put all the anger at her perceived financial snub behind her enough to repair her relationship with her mother. And you might be wondering why Tori only stayed at Candy’s house for three hours, but there’s a simple explanation for that. It only takes three hours to find Candy’s safe, break into it using the kids as a distraction and steal all her jewels. She would have stayed for longer, but stolen jewels can’t list themselves on eBay, can they?
Actually, that’s probably not what Tori Spelling did at all. But it is what we’d have done in her situation. Obviously.
