Just when you thought the media gossip was drying down, Spelling matriarch Candy has fired another bullet in her media back-and-forth with daughter Tori. All of this, mind you, is part of Candy Spelling’s book promotion - or, so I suspect.

Spelling conducted a radio interview, purportedly to tout her Stories From Candyland, and ended up dragging Tori Spelling through the proverbial mud. “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.”

Sure, that’s not the nicest thing to say…but Candy wasn’t done by a long shot. “That’s what killed my husband, actually,” she continued, referring to TV mogul Aaron Spelling. “He just didn’t want to live after that.” Spelling passed away in June of 2006, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Candy.

“I’ve always been trying to work on the relationship,” the mother lamented in her interview. “I don’t know what the anger is.”

Somehow, I’m guessing publishing a book about the affair isn’t going to do a whole lot of good. Call me crazy, but I assume it’s not likely to mend fences between the estranged mother and daughter. Publicly accusing her daughter of killing her husband sure as hell won’t help, either.

But let’s get down to brass tacks, because that’s what this is all about. Does it make you want to buy the book?
