Tori Spelling
Gossip (Page 5)

A tribute to the late Aaron Spelling, which was to be hosted by daughter Tori Spelling, will not air on ABC this fall as planned. The cancellation occurred because Spelling's widow and Tori's overbearing b!tch of a mother, Candy, nixed the project, People magazine reports.

Spelling, the prolific creator of shows like Love Boat, Charlie's Angels, Dynasty and Beverly Hills 90210, died June 23 at the age of 83.

His wife and daughter have maintained a highly strained relationship over the past few years, culminating in a highly-charged and public dispute over his $500M estate.

Perhaps appropriate for a woman who recently admitted her love for adult films, Tori was given the proverbial shaft by her mom regarding her inheritance.

Tori Spelling, best know for her role on Dad's 90210, was to have served both as host and executive producer of the ABC tribute to her TV mogul father.

"All of his (Aaron's) stars had signed on and some interviews had already been taped. But Candy wouldn't release the clips of his shows because Tori was involved in the project. She had it killed," a source said.

Candy Spelling's representative, Kevin Sasaki, confirmed to People that she had talked to ABC about releasing the clips for the tribute, but denies that Candy stopped the show. Instead, he says, "she didn't feel the timing was right, since the Emmys were doing a big tribute to her husband around the same time."

Sasaki reiterated that rumors of Candy killing the project are false.

"She had nothing to do with this except that she was asked to release the clips and she didn't think it was the right time, so she turned them down," he said.

ABC, which was long been associated with Aaron Spelling's shows, has issued no statement and will not comment on the Spelling special.

Candy has agreed to provide clips to rival network NBC for a tribute to Aaron on its August 27 Emmycast. She will attend the Emmy Awards with son Randy Spelling, while Tori has yet to be invited as part of the family.

Sorry, guys. Read the headline again. It doesn't say that Tori Spelling stars in a pornographic film (sadly), but rather that she loves watching them. Which is cool, albeit less scandalous.

Anyway, we knew how hard Tori got shafted over her inheritance recently, but had no idea how she likes to get screwed in a more literal sense. The actress apparently has no problem with the world knowing that she and her husband enjoy adult entertainment as the New York Post reports that the couple regularly watch hard core porn.

In fact, when told that Tori and hubby Dean McDermott use SugarDVD.com to rent adult flicks, the company's CEO, Jax Smith, called the Post to express his pride at that fact -- and to promise a list of what they watch.

But Spelling's representatives were not thrilled when asked to comment on the specific skin flicks Tori gets off to, telling Smith not to release any titles.

"They weren't pleased - they told me not to," said Smith.

Still, Smith has no hard feelings (unlike Tori's husband -- eh? eh?), and says he is willing to give the couple free porn for life in exchange for the impromptu celebrity endorsement.

While one could speculate endlessly about the dozens of possible 90210-spoof porn names, the Gossip leaves that to you. We're pretty sure, though, that 1 Night in Paris was somewhere in the Spelling rotation. The Technical Virgin, starring ex-PBS host Melanie Martinez, would be another good choice, but remember, Spelling prefers hard core stuff.

Despite earlier reports by The Gossip that Tori Spelling (left) would inherit a nice chunk of her father's $500 million estate, now it's looking like a much smaller chunk. If you can even call it a chunk. Which we are not sure you can, as she's getting less than one-fifth of one percent. That's not a lot at all.

We are talking about 0.16 percent of the Aaron Spelling fortune.

Tori's share will be a cash inheritance payment of $200,000, combined with approximately $600,000 in private investments her dad set up for her. That constitutes a pretty big brush-off from the TV magnate, who would never have intended to hit his only daughter with, a family source said. One might even say that Aaron Spelling is rolling in his grave right now.

Instead, it seems like a move that Tori's mother, Candy, who happens to be sole managing executor of the estate, conspired in a cruel, heartless act of revenge against her estranged daughter.

Many questions remain.

How much of the cash will Tori's brother, Randy, inherit? Why are Candy's interior decorator and manicurist in the will? Why were Brandon Walsh and Steve Sanders (right) snubbed after more than a decade of good times, helpful advice and platonic friendship? We may never know.

Our favorite 9021-HO will be rewarded handsomely from her estranged father's passing.

Yes, Tori Spelling fans, your busomy blonde hero will be seeing green after all. So both of you can relax now.

After her father, Aaron, died on June 18, there was speculation that Candy Spelling would block her daughter from any inheritance. Why? The pair haven't had the best of relationships since Candy started dating Mark Nathanson, which Tori referred to as "inappropriate."

And this came from the same woman who lied to her parents about sharing a beach house with David Silver!

A source, however, said Tori will receive "a significant portion" of Aaron Spelling's estimated $500 million estate. Adds the friends: "If Candy had her way, Tori wouldn't have gotten a thing."

But now it looks like Donna Martin has graduated - into a higher financial class!
