Candy to Ed McMahon: I'm Losing My House Too

Posted Jul 22nd 2008 2:30PM by TMZ Staff

Candy SpellingEven Candy Spelling is feeling the housing crunch -- she's scaling back from the infamous Spelling mansion to a paltry 16,500 square foot penthouse.

Spelling just dropped $47 million (!!!) of her late husband's money on a two-floor condo that is a third of the size of her 56,500 square foot Holmby Hills estate. The apartment is located on the 41st and 42nd floors of the brand new Century building and won't be ready until 2009 -- around the time Tori gives birth to her fifth rugrat.

Candy is giving up her notorious gift wrapping room, 3,500 square foot closet and bowling alley and making do with the condo's two fireplaces, dining room for 25, staff quarters, massage room, rose garden and private swimming pool. These are tough times, people!

32. Just wondering. Thank you for the compliment on the name. Just a bit annoyed when people sit here and suggest how others should be spending their money. I doubt most of them would appreciate a complete stranger telling them how to spend theirs.

33. The big question is, who in hell is Candy Spelling going to sell that monstrosity of a house to in this market? She should donate it to the Actor's Home. After all, it will soon be filled by the actors from Aaron Spelling's old shows. You know, the ones that made him all that money to begin with? And since Tori was on an Aaron Spelling show, she will eventually have a place to live.

34. I have a step mom the same way as Candi Spelling. She probably told her late husband that Tori would be "taken care of". Then when he died, Candi forgot all about the rest of the family & took control of everything & everybody. I'm glad to see Tori take a stand for herself & make her own way in life, she is a great inspiration to me & others in the same situation. My Dad left millions to my step mom on the basis that the rest of the family would be "taken care of". Wake up people, get your wills in order, you just never know about people. Take 1 person out of the equation, & you're screwed.

36. When I am able, I do try to help people Lenore, and I have a helluva lot less than Mrs. Spelling. I can pretty much bet you that no matter how much I work my azz off, I will never see that kind of money in my lifetime. As I type this, my stomach is growling. I was recently laid off from my job, and altho' I get unemployment, there is hardly anything left for food once I pay my rent and bills; I try to make sure my kids are fed first. So please, don't question my putting my money where my mouth is, cuz I do...when I'm able.

This sounds somewhat presumptuous, but I feel that only people who have worked hard for what they have are truly able to appreciate good things, no matter how small, when they come their way. I do not feel that Candy Spelling is one of those people. Sorry, my opinion.

41. 38. I was being facetious.

37. Sorry about your job. Best of luck on getting another one. People here are sending mixed messages. On one hand they are saying Candy should be helping out others. No issues there but they are also saying she should be giving the money to Tori. Tori has plenty of money. She has more than most of us combined. I don't consider Tori a charity case.

42. Not the gift wrapping room?!?! Oh, the humanity! I can't believe anyone actually cares....

43. I think Tori said after her father passed away that the $800K she got 'was a lot of money'. She seems greatful for the things she has. Oh BTW Tori did do her share of bar hopping when she was on 90210, she and Shannen Doherty were fixtures at the Roxy, but as time progressed and Tori got older she got out of that scene. See...Some of these girls DO actually mature.

44. WHAT ABOUT THE BROTHER?

Posted at 4:48PM on Jul 22nd 2008 by just wondering

45. Lenore....looks to me like you are on here telling people what they should and shouldn't write. Bitching at others for not thinking like they think you should just tells me you are a control freak. Cram it, babe. You are an idiot, period.
