How's this for ironic ... Candy Spelling -- the owner of a 57,000 square foot mansion in Los Angeles -- has just been confined to a teeny-weeny bed ... in a full body cast.
We're told Candy Spelling had neck surgery this week. Doctors fused two discs to improve function in her right hand. Ironically, Tori was also in the hospital this week after she complained of severe abdominal pain. How's that for mother/daughter bonding?
Candy got out yesterday -- completely immobilized. She'll be on her back for the next couple of weeks.
As far as casting goes, it's her best role yet.

We gave Candy Spelling the opportunity to take back the harsh words she had for her daughter Tori Spelling -- when she said Tori just uses her children as "props" for her reality show.
She didn't.

Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott are finally responding to Candy Spelling's scathing letter posted on TMZ -- the one where she said the couple used their kids as "reality show props" to generate conflict.
Though Tori played dumb to the ordeal -- saying they've been on vacation and "haven't read anything" -- Dean stepped up and defended their honor as parents, telling TMZ "We don't use our children as props, we take really good care of our children, we love our children ... everyone's entitled to their opinion."

Candy Spelling -- the mother famously at war with her daughter -- has taken the bold step of communicating with Tori Spelling through TMZ ... and her opening line isn't gonna get her a lot of invites. Here's the open letter in all its glory:
EXCLUSIVE TO: TMZ.COM
TO: MIDDLE-AGED REALITY SHOW STARS (LIKE MY DAUGHTER)
FROM: CANDY SPELLING
I Know many middle-aged people have issues about their parents and their upbringing. I did. My memories didn't match all those of my mother, and, funny thing, it's the same way with my daughter.
Life has consequences. What you say is on the record. Other people have feelings.
I have a vested interest in this subject. My daughter, Tori's, two-part season finale revolves around my granddaughter's first birthday party and how she has made what seems like an agonizing decision to invite me.
Cue music. Cue sideways glances. Cue Lights.

Candy Spelling is denying allegations made by one of her former employees, who claims Candy fired her for complaining about being overworked and underpaid.
Candy just filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, which call BS on a lawsuit filed by her former housekeeper, Lourdes Serrano. Lourdes claims she was given the heave-ho after she complained about not getting any breaks at work -- therefore breaking California's wage and overtime laws.
And speaking of money, Candy also wants to get paid back for what she considers a completely "frivolous" filing.

You know the recession is hitting everyone when gazillionaire Candy Spelling is being accused of trying to screw her housekeeper out of a few bucks a day.
Candy's ex maid has filed a lawsuit against Tori's mom, accusing her of tightwad employment practices at her Beverly Hills mansion -- specifically making her clock out for ten minute breaks twice a day and not paying her for the downtime.
The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, says Candy's people insisted they were required by law to give the maid relief -- but apparently the maid thinks relief without money is no relief at all.
Oh yeah -- the maid got fired. She's asking for unspecified damages.

While out for a walk on Saturday, well-groomed millionaire widow Candy Spelling relieved her tired paw on a fire hydrant.
Candy is only nine years old in dog years.

Candy Spelling isn't gonna just sit there with her zillion dollars in Bev Hills. She's just hit the jackpot -- again.
As TMZ Vegas spies tell us over the weekend, Candy Dandy was playing the high limit slots (up to $1,000 a pull) at the Bellagio Hotel when she cleaned the clock of a one-armed bandit to the tune of $180,000. To put this in perspective, $180 grand to her is like $8 bucks in our world.
So you think lightning only strikes once? Exactly one year ago in Vegas, Candy -- whose fortune is estimated at $600 mil -- won $200,000 at -- yes, the Bellagio. And yes, on the slots. She was actually up $350,000 at one point but couldn't walk away.
But wait, there's more. Days after her 2007 jackpot, she held a charity raffle and won a car.
Meanwhile, Tori is scrounging on hot dogs that could put her fetus at risk.

You won't find DJ Samantha Ronson with much to say about galpal Lindsay Lohan -- or their blowout before the curb-hopping incident that plopped the starlet back into rehab -- but when it comes to Candy Spelling, Ronson's sure got a mouthful!
Ronson wrote a MySpace blog to Spelling in response to Candy's open letter to Britney on TMZ. Ronson calls Spelling's tactics of reaching out to people through this site "insane," but adds that "it is nice to see old people using modern technology." Burn!
Sam proceeds to attack Mama Spelling, telling her to focus on her own children, saying she "doesn't seem to me like she is all set on the home front," adding that the only market for an adviser like Spelling is "maybe somewhere in Texas." What's wrong with Texas?!
TMZ cameras caught the DJ out last night going into Hyde -- and it was back to good ol' tight-lipped Ronson.

Dear Britney:
You made me do it. I didn't plan to write another letter now. I took two weeks off from TMZ.com because I didn't feel strongly about what anyone was doing -- or else I couldn't decide which side to believe.
You've driven me back to my laptop to ask why, if you have to slither in and out of cars, do clumsy imitations of gymnasts and wear clothes that are just too tight, trashy or skimpy, do you have to pose in front of photographers all the time? We've seen the body parts, poses and clumsy attention-seeking tricks before. You're wearing out your welcome. Some people never can turn away from a train wreck, so who can blame the photographers for waiting for your next one? Do you really want captions such as TMZ's own "Victim of Pap Smear" and "Does Britney Change Clothes for Cash" to be your legacy? You can do much better.

Dear Joe,
As the headlines about you changed -- to scream "imprisoned" and "U.S. marshals" instead of "filmmaker" and "entrepreneur," you respond by crying, wailing and seeing yourself as a victim. Bad move. Today's headlines call you a "crybaby."
You blew it, Joe. Instead of jumping from party to party, you're being shuffled from one prison to another. And no one feels sorry for you. The flatterers and entourages have moved on. They have short attention spans. They're hanging on to someone else and will take advantage of the new "temp celebrity" as long as it lasts.
The only redeeming factor is reading that you have been calling home every day from prison. When things are looking bleak, it sounds like you've found that you can get some perspective from the reliable people at home. Maybe you're realizing these are the only people who really care about you.
Your world has changed, and you're the poster boy for what can happen when boys go wild. Your every move and every emotion are still being reported, but not the way you want. It's time for some dignity. At least it might prevent you from being forever defined as a crybaby.
Sincerely,
Candy Spelling

With their blood feud apparently water under the "90210" bridge, frosted Candy Spelling has already begun showering Tori Spelling's son Liam with gifts!
Grandma Candy plunked down over $1700 for her new grandson at West Hollywood baby emporium Petit Tresor on Wednesday. Among the items Candy had an assistant order were a $1250 Mia Bossi leather diaper bag, a half dozen onesies and gowns, airplane booties and a babybot mobile.
Now that baby Liam Aaron has become the olive branch in the Tori vs. Candy grudge match, time will tell if it's the end to this latest Spelling drama ... or if Linda Evans will play Candy in the TV version!

Tori Spelling isn't the type of girl to let some small financial altercation with her mother stop her from spoiling herself. She has been spotted out and about over the last few days, spending a lot of dough. On Saturday, paparazzi caught up with Tori and a male friend browsing through shops and making a stopover at East West Hands, an alternative medicine spa in Los Angeles. Tori treated herself and her guest to a mani, pedi and a massage.
Tori reportedly received less than $1 million from her father's estate after his death. If she spends $400 a day, her money will last about 2500 days, or a tad under seven years. Perhaps that's just enough time for this former "90210"-er to figure out what she'll do next.

The stakes in the Candy Spelling – Tori Spelling war just got a lot higher. The buzz in Beverly Hills real estate offices is that Candy Spelling has unloaded her 56,000 square-foot Holmby Hills mansion for a cool $130 million, and that the new buyer is an Arab prince.
The cash flow influx would likely fan the flames in the ever-escalating feud. Several well-connected Beverly Hills realtors and a prominent socialite tell TMZ about the swirl of conversation on Wednesday. The inside word is that, as TMZ first reported and as Candy's reps denied, Aaron's widow gave an upscale real estate company a "pocket listing" on the mansion and that her asking price was $150 million.
Now, the buzz is that Candy will quietly walk away with a boatload of cash, which will surely irk the soon-to-be cash-poor Tori. Candy Spelling's rep told TMZ, "It is not true, and she is not selling the house to whoever you have mentioned for the price you have mentioned."
The "90210" star was all but disinherited by her father, as she recently discovered in papers Aaron Spelling signed four months before his death. Tori reportedly will get less than $1 million – a pittance compared to his vast half-billion-dollar estate.
Tori and Candy have been at war with each other for months, clawing it out in the tabloids and elsewhere. And last Sunday, the pair were both present at last Sunday's Emmys, but even the occasion of an emotional tribute to Aaron could not move the mother and daughter any closer to a détente.

Candy and Tori Spelling squared off in a tribute to Aaron on Sunday night's Emmys. The feuding mother and daughter of the famed producer who passed away earlier this summer sat on opposite sides of the room as they watched the moving tribute to Aaron Spelling.
TMZ has created a Dynasty-esque tribute of our own, with even more drama than you saw on NBC.
