Spelling Denies Selling Mansion -- Not So

1. WELL HER HUSBANDS DEAD, HER DAUGHTER DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO HER, WHAT DOES SHE NEED THAT BIG HOUSE FOR? i MEAN IN A FEW MORE YEARS SHE'LL BE FOLLOWING IN HER HUSBANDS FOOT STEPS. BESIDES SHE PUT IN HER 30+ YEARS WITH AARON TILL DEATH DID THEM PART NOW SHE WANTS TO PART WITH THE HOUSE, GET HER MONEY AND MOVE ON. I DONT BLAME HER.

2. That house is way too big for one person!! I would imagine she would want a smaller house now that she is alone. Even if I had the money, I still wouldn't want a house that big, how would you find your kids?? You'd get lost in a house that size.

4. I believe Mr. Spelling was an enormous talent, and from what I hear, a very kind and giving individual. If a large house like that made people happy-so be it. One can only live in one room at a time so I don't understand the need for that much space. It's too bad that his children didn't inherit his talent.

5. According to US magazine, Candy Spelling was seen shopping in Beverly Hills only a week after Aaron's death smiling. The person who saw her there said it was " eerie". Candy Spelling had already planned to sell the house. She apparently bought a house with lover Mark Nathanson, a convicted felon, in Century City six months ago. So she's had this plan. I feel for Tori. She's the only one telling the truth or dealing with the truth in this situation.

6. "Way too big for one person"... I like that.

Based on US Census data for new home characteristics, the average size of US homes constructed ~2002-2004 was 2349 sq.ft. The median was 2140.

By contrast, the same data from 1990 shows 2080 and 1905 as average and median square footage respectively.

Assuming an average occupancy of 4.3 human equivalents (HEQ's) per single family residence, the 1990 average numbers breakdown to about 484 sq. ft. of space per person. (Not counting multi-stall garages, carriage houses, hidden party rooms, pool cabanas, or caddy shacks).

Now, applying the above formula to a 56000 sq. ft. home suggests ample space for 115.70247933884297520661157024793 HEQ's (about 116 people).
(Not counting multi-stall garages, carriage houses, hidden party rooms, pool cabanas, or caddy shacks).

Delving further, we'll assume that the estranged love/hate child was realistically equivalent to 0.70247933884297520661157024793 HEQ, the household Matriarch = to 1.0 HEQ, and the Patriarch = to 1.0 HEQ. Doing the math, that equals: 20,722 sq. ft. per total base HEQ (not counting servants... oopps...I mean staff).

When we run those numbers through the egomaniacalculator, we arrive at a perfect match! Aaron Spelling was a gifted and talented man (no matter what anyone says). That talent and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears put him in a position to be excessive, and that was his free choice! +++****Hey...grab me another beer would'ya? come on! NO, not you! Hang on a second+++**** Oh, yeah, back to the conversation. Capitalism is great. So is Freedom and Democracy. So is compassion and selflessness. So is taking care of yourself and family. So is helping others in need. So is love and joy. So is doing the best you can with the resources that are available to you. +++****Hey...grab me another beer would'ya? come on! NO, not you! Hang on a second+++**** Nowww waid a secnd, I godda idea... God bless Anheuser-Busch!

Amanda S-D is supposedly looking for a "new place", where those approved by the golden egg tester are free to commiserate and engage in whatever debauchery brings relief from the stress of everyday life.
(AKA people having some fun)

Even though it may be a little out of the way, and raise concern of neighbors (which are few and far between), the property for sale is perfect for asd. She should incorporate and rally investors ASAP. Might I suggest developing a portion of the grounds into a par 3 golf course!

8. Mrs Spelling knows what should be done, I bet that lady is smart.
I hope Tori and Mrs Spelling patches there problems and move forward, because life is way to short to be fighting .
I hope Mrs Spelling isnt having affair , because that doesnt look good.
If Mrs Spelling going to keep this house , why don't she have Tori , her husband and Randy all live together . There's plenty of space in that house .

I went to Mr Spelling house on a tour all , I seen was the roof of house. YOu cant see alot , unless you get a tour of that house , which that would never happen. The tour guide said back then the house electric bills $10,000 a month ( 1997 ) . By now , the finances there are more . I would hate to be paying the property taxes on this house , way to high .

Bill Gates is paying $1million ( approx ) on his home. Know he can afford anything being the "Richest Man in the World ".

I wished I had a home 4,000 sq ft . But I know the property tax on this size of home in my area is ..... $8,500 a year . That's alot of money too . I'll be the one cleaning this house , not the maid .
I can give you a tour of new homes at all different amount of prices. From $200,000 - $2 Million. location , location , location

Just remember the bigger the home , the more it cost for maintence .

9. THIS IS SUCH A SAD TIME FOR THE SPELLING FAMILY. DEATH IS TRAGIC. I THINK THEY NEED THEIR PRIVACY RIGHT NOW. IT'S REALLY THEIR BUSINESS IF THEY WISH TO SELL IT BUT CANDY SPELLING IS DENYING IT. BUT EVEN SO, IF IT WERE SO, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. AARON SPELLING HAS CREATED SO MANY BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART THROUGH TELEVISION. I LOVE 7TH HEAVEN. I'M SURE YOU ALL ARE SAYING I NEED TO GO LIVE IN THAT FANTASY LAND OF SEVENTH HEAVEN SINCE I'M TALKING ALL POLLYANNA HERE, BUT YOU KNOW WE ALL HAVE TO ESCAPE REALITY FROM TIME TO TIME. MY WORD FOR IT IS "DISENGAGE." SO GIVE THE SPELLING FAMILY A BREAK. AARON SPELLING HAS MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND BROUGHT SO MANY OF US SMILES. BLESSINGS TO ALL, MISTYEYESBLONDIE@AOL.COM

10. How dare you people out there in the USA. A woman,who was a wife to this wonderful man and a mother to his daughter who happened to lose her father. Do you people actually read what you write on these sites. possibly not! Just think of what this family is going through. Not only did they all lose the one thing that they cherished most but the mother and daughter lossed each other too. How can you all sit there and write and judge them when none of you know them personally. It takes a really special person to truly understand other people, Especially in their hour of sadness.
Here I tell all my friend's what a great country that we live in, Plus we should be proud of the fact that having great people like Mr. Spelling is truly a blessing

11. Spelling was a generous sweet gifted man. To bad all the plastic surgery Tori
had did not make her pretty. She looks plastic like her mother. Tori has no talent in spite of all the efforts her Dad did to promote her. She is just another spoiled
product of a movie mogul. I hope Mr. Spelling did not know about his wife's affair, he suffered enough with Tori's antics and bad judgements.
