“My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years. And it was sad, that’s what killed my husband, actually. He just didn’t want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn’t do anything for her.”

Candy Spelling speaking to a Massachusetts radio station, relating the story of how her very boring daughter Tori is a murderer.

You know, most of the time, Tori Spelling bores me, but when it gets into the hate/hate relationship she has with her mom, I’m just fascinated. Tori’s new book has had its release date bumped up — to coincide with the release date of her mom’s tell-all!

Candy is releasing her memoir, Stories From Candyland, on April 14, 2009. Tori’s sophomore effort, Mommywood, was originally supposed to be released two weeks later, on April 28.

But several sources now tell me Tori’s book will now come out on—you guessed it—April 14!

Does this mean the two will have joint book readings and signings at your local Barnes & Noble? Don’t bet on it.

If things go as well for Tori as they did for her first book, sTORI Telling, she won’t need anybody else’s help. The 288-page tome actually hit No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.

A rep for Tori insists the change in publication date has nothing to do with her mother. “It was the publisher’s decision to change the release date of Mommywood to April 14, in order to participate in special Mother’s Day promotions with major retailers,” the rep said.

Is anyone planning to buy either of these books? Who are the thousands and thousands of people who bought sTORI Telling? Was it any good???

More importantly: Whose book is gonna win come April 14?

And, yes, I did dig up a photo of the mother/daughter duo from 1983. It’s practically the last time they were photographed together without Aaron in the middle keeping the peace.
