Tori: Poor Little Poor Girl?

Spelling being squeezed out of dad's millions? Plus, Electra and Foxx refute dating rumors, Nick and Vanessa go into PDA overload and more ...

July 26, 2006

Will Tori Spelling end up inheriting less than what was spent on her lavish first wedding? Us Weekly believes it could happen now that her estranged mom, Candy, has been appointed sole executor of dad Aaron's estimated $500 million estate.

A "family source" kvetches to the mag that, contrary to reports of a mega-million-dollar payout, the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" virgin, 33, will pocket just $200,000 in cash and $600,000 in investments, less than the $1 million her folks ponied up for her champagne fountain-filled nuptials to Charlie Shanian in July 2004, a union that lasted only 14 months.

According to the insider, the funds freeze-out could be Candy's way of getting "revenge" on her daughter.

"I believe Candy had a lot to do with what was left for Tori," says the mole, who adds the prolific producer's will was changed three months before his June 23 passing.

And while Tori's brother Randy is earmarked to inherit the same amount, he's expected to end up with a hefty chunk of his father's fortune because he's still tight with their purse string-controlling mom, says Us.

"Randy is set for life," maintains another source. "Candy will take care of him."

A "devastated" Tori, who appears to be playing up what the sympathetic magazine describes as her "new modest lifestyle" and struggle "to make ends meet" (she was snapped shopping at a pawnshop and a dollar store), "doesn't have enough money to buy an apartment, let alone a house," sniffles a confidante.

The self-described "daddy's girl" can at least take comfort in knowing she ranks higher in the Spelling hierarchy than her mom's nail buffer and pillow fluffer: Candy's manicurist is reportedly in line to receive $25,000, while her interior decorator is tipped to get $50,000 (the family has a sprawling 56,000-square-foot Los Angeles mansion, valued at $150 million, along with several other properties).

Tori and Candy have long been at odds; their family feud went cringingly public when they began trading barbs after Aaron's death.

Tori lamented to Us that she learned her father had passed away from a friend's e-mail ("My first thought was, I can't believe my mom didn't call me!," she fumed) and hinted to People that "an outside party wedged this close family apart," a reference to Beverly Hills, Calif., businessman Mark Nathanson, a longtime family friend (he introduced Aaron and Candy).

Candy, who insists Nathanson is just a pal, called her daughter's comments "meanspirited" and accused her of tainting her father's legacy.

Their ripped-from-a-movie-of-the-week rift (possible title: "Mother, May I Sleep With Anger") allegedly heated up after Tori kicked Shanian to the curb in September 2005 and took up with fellow married actor -- and future "Tori" tattoo enthusiast -- Dean McDermott, whom she wed in May. (According to People, Tori introduced Dean to her dad two weeks before he died, the first time she'd seen or spoken to him in nine months.)

Adding to the animosity: "So NoTORIous," Tori's semi-autobiographical VH1 sitcom, in which Loni Anderson played her mom, a dizzy blonde with a serious shopping habit.

TMZ.com, meanwhile, traces the bad blood all the way back to the aforementioned million-dollar wedding, claiming mother and daughter argued in the months leading up to the ill-fated aisle-walk, with Tori miffed because the opulent affair "wasn't big enough," and Candy, who planned it, peeved that not enough of her friends were invited.

For now, Tori remains mum on the will -- Us says she may contest it -- and is looking toward the future, although apparently a much thriftier one than to which she's accustomed.

"I'm moving on with my life," she told the magazine while browsing at a thrift store with McDermott. "I'm just focusing on starting a loving and healthy family with Dean."

Tori Spelling, Susan Surandon Vince Vaugh all look like they need sleep

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Candy, you're breaking my heart.

 

[Immortalfire]

Iiiiii want candy....do do doo...Iiiii want candy...

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

wow that sucks.

 

[War Lord]

wow that sucks.

The think I don't get is that it's virtually impossible to spend $500 million dollars in any reasonable lifetime.

Her mom's in her 60's, at least, so she just needs to be a little more patient.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I could spend $500 million dollars in my lifetime. Easy.

Bankroll my Superman movie trilogy.

 

[Equint77]

Sounds like we're gonna be in for a 90210 reunion....

she was the only one well off and now they're all up ****'s creek without a paddle.

did you? mustve missed.

I really don't care about rich people and their problems. You'd think she's got some sort of case, though. If Ana Nicole Smith can win a Supreme Court case over her deceased sugar daddy's fortunes, Tori should be able to win a case around her own father's estate.

Give me a f**king break.

 

[War Lord]

Give me a f**king break.

It might buy something reasonably nice in Butte, Montana.

But that ain't gonna buy you more than dirt hole in Hollywood.

Then move. Or, god forbid, rent until she can put together some semblence of a decent career (probably a stretch, I know). With nearly a million, she'll manage. She'll probably even have enough left over to buy a violin.

 

[Leto Atrides]

As much as I don't like Tori, if her father wanted to have whatever amount of money, she should get it. Candy or whoever shouldn't be deciding what to do with the money.

 

[Topdawg]

She got OWNED.lol

 

[sinewave]

Sucks that she squandered whatever money she made from 90210 and whatever else she's been in, because now that her dad's dead she's going to have a hard time finding work, unless it's on the Surreal Life.

 

[Topdawg]

LoL^ surreal life.

 

[Lackey]

wait... Aaron Spelling is dead?

 

[War Lord]

wait... Aaron Spelling is dead?

It's the reason why 90210 ended.

 

[Leto Atrides]

wait... Aaron Spelling is dead?

Yeah, he died a month or two ago.
