Candy Spelling has never been one to get all warm and fuzzy about her daughter, Tori.

Especially now that the two will be competing on the bookshelves.

Tori’s new book, Mommywood was recently moved up to the same release date at her mother’s, Candyland, on April 14th.

Well, Candy wouldn’t hear of dueling release dates, so she had her book moved up to March 31st.

Tori’s camp is saying that they wanted the April 14th release date to be able to promote it for Mother’s Day and that it had nothing to do with her mother’s book date. However, Candy doesn’t seem to care the reason. Just as she has always done, she coldly pretends as though her daughter means nothing to her. It’s always a competition with her, and when she is losing, she quickly throws in the towel – but not before taking a stab at her daughter.

In an attempt to sound humane she says, “Tori is my daughter, and I love her. I wish her all the best with the publication of her new book.”

But then comes the icy stab.

“I never read her first one because my friends and family advised me against it. They said it would hurt my feelings, so I decided to pass. I won’t read her new one either.”

By the way, in case you missed my review of Tori’s sTORI Telling, it was really good! A must read, in fact. Especially if you love celeb gossip and know a bit about the family. Tori really is great at telling a story and her life is fascinating.

And yes, her mother really is the cold bitch you would expect. 110%.

OK! magazine is reporting that pop Queen Madonna is having a hard time watching her 12-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon blossom into a young woman.

A source (yeah I know, it could be anybody) told the publication that Madonna is trying to keep her daughter young almost as much as she is trying to keep herself young.

“I think Madonna can’t stand that Lourdes is growing into a beautiful teen. She seems envious of her youth and looks. She knows Lourdes is going to be gorgeous and will get the attention of the opposite sex. Knowing Madonna’s taste for younger guys, it’s a matter of course that they’ll be dating men the same age. It’s disturbing.”

During last year’s  Sticky & Sweet Tour Madonna’s beauty posse was told to keep the tweezer’s away from her daughter’s thick eyebrows. However, she eventually gave in and let her daughter have them “shaped.” Momma Madonna also reportedly refused to let Lourdes have her hair done by a professional before a Gucci gala benefiting UNICEF and Malawi.

How much you want to bet Lourdes will be a wild child once out of her mother’s grip? Hmmm….just a hunch!

Peter Falk’s daughter says her father is suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Catherine Falk is concerned that someone may take advantage of the Oscar nominees situation and try and dupe him out of monies or property. She says he is no longer competent to control his estate or even the simple things in life. She is concerned tha he may be easily “deceived into transferring away property.”

She is requesting conservatorship to protect him from “fraud or undue influence.”

In court documents Catherine states that her father “requires full-time custodial care for his health and safety.”

A hearing is scheduled for January 2009.

Despite past problems between Jon Voight and daughter Angelina Jolie, Voight says he longs to work with his children in a film before he dies.

He says,

“I’d like to work with my son Jamie, and Angie again, in a movie. The three of us together. That would be nice.”

The last time the 69-year-old father worked with his daughter was during the Tomb Raider films but their relationship was damaged when he publicly questioned his daughter’s mental health.

Ok, maybe I am being a little harsh here, but doesn’t William Balfour, the main suspect in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew, seem like the type of guy that you would NOT want to bring home to your family – let alone let your child be around?

And it’s not like William is the black sheep of his family or anything. His father is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for murder and his brother served time for drug dealing. William, himself, has served 7 years for attempted murder and carjacking. This past June he was arrested for drugs, but his parole was not revoked. He is also a known member of the Gangster Disciple Street Gang.

I told you guys the other day that Julia’s MySpace had a questionnaire that she filled out and the question, “Of all your friends, who is most likely to end up in jail?” she answered with “William.”

What a great influence on your child, eh? It’s not like she didn’t know. She probably hooked with with the loser after he was released from prison.

Now, let me make it clear that while I am not blaming the murders on Julia Balfour, I can’t help but feel as though she could have avoided this situation had she have been smarter about the sort of people she chose to surround herself, and more specifically her family, with.

File this one under, “Oh, damn, that’s TMI!”

In an interview this morning with the hens of The View, George Hamilton confessed that at the age of 12 he slept with his stepmother. Something, he says, was actually quite normal.

“When I was very young, 12, I had a relationship with my stepmother. Yeah. She was about 28, 30. It was very normal.”

“My father never knew about it. It was very normal. She didn’t make me feel bad about it. The bottom line is it didn’t feel abnormal. From my point of view it wasn’t something so crazy – I don’t think it warped me in my life.

“It went on for a short period of time, when I was 12, and then strangely enough when I was of age and I was an actor in Hollywood I met her again, she was as beautiful, and we had a sort of follow up.

“My father passed away in the middle of it.”

Wow, is it me, or is this guy cold – and warped!

First off, not only did he repeatedly have sexual relations with his father’s wife, he goes on National television to brag about it! He obviously doesn’t feel bad about it, and says he never felt “abused”. Way to get all the child molesters worked up..gah.

Check out the full interview here:

I knew it was all a sham.

If you remember when Britney Spears first popped onto the scene, she was cute and so naive, and she was everywhere.  Her management obviously tried to paint this ‘perfect American teenager’ image to the public, and they made Britney play the role.

She claimed to be a virgin for like, ever.  Even when she was with Justin Timberlake she claimed to be one.  Anyhow, we were right.  Britney did what other teenagers do, she grew up.  And fast.  But like many child stars, the pressures of ‘being perfect’ took their toll and it obviously had an effect on her.

Sadly, her mother decided to write a book (The Storm: A Real Tale Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World) about it and put her daughter’s skeleton’s on display.  So like a stage mom, isn’t it?

Lynne claims that Brit started drinking at the tender age of 13, not long after leaving the Mickey Mouse Club.  She also says that her daughter lost her virginity at 14 to some random 18-year-old high school football player, and by 15 Britney was into drugs.

After Lynne caught Britney drinking she says she allowed her to drink as long as she did it at home.

She says while Britney was with Justin she allowed him to sleep in Britney’s bed whenever coming over – because she thought her daughter was in love and that JT was good for her.

She also dishes that Brit was caught boarding a private plane with cocaine and pot when she was only 16.

Lynne claims she is now sorry for the way Britney was exploited but she doesn’t claim to have had any part in it.  She blames it solely on Britney’s management, who controlled her life and sexualized her.

It’s amazing to me that Lynne is trying to wipe her hands of everything in this book.  Oh yeah, and don’t forget she’s selling her daughter out at the same time.  It’s sad.

Was it the money?  The attention?  What makes a parent do that to their child?  Basically give up your parental rights and hand your kid over to Hollywood, and it’s not your fault for letting it happen?  Does she realize what a fool she looks like?

Egad.

You have to love this family. Seriously!

Matthew McConaughey’s mother, Kay McConaughey, is coming out with a new book that tells her family story.

I Amaze Myself is full of off-the-wall stories about the McConaugheys, and Kay doesn’t hold back when telling them. The woman certainly has a sense of humor and now we know where her son gets it.

In the book, Kay tells of Matthew’s father’s death. He died the way any man on this earth would love to go. While having sex with his wife!

Kay tells Us Weekly,

“On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love. But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing. But it was just the best way to go!”

Amen, sister!  Hooray for Jim!

It seems Kay was a real horn dog for her man – and his penis!   When her husband, Jim, could not be revived, she sent him out of this world like he came into it. In the nude.

“I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift,” she says.

Yeah, I’m sure the paramedics were thrilled to check his gift out! Ha!  That explains that HUGE bulge in Matthew’s shorts, bitches!

Keeping with the sex theme, Kay also dished that her gorgeous son was no accident. She had Matthew after marrying Jim for the third time.

“I was deciding, ‘Do I want to have another baby? Do I want to have an affair? Or go back to school?. That’s when Matthew was conceived. We had tried for 16 years and no baby. So Matthew was a big surprise!”

Well, it’s certainly no surprise where Matthew gets his honest, off-the-wall quirkiness!  Personally, I think it’s hot.  No snobby Hollywood family here!

Sounds like I have a new book on my ‘to read’ list!

Check out more of the book at:  IAmazeMyself.com.

Mia Tyler, plus-size model and daughter of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, says she believes that her mother encouraged drug use at an early age.

She says when she was eight-years old her mother would encourage her to eat hemp seeds.

Mia says of her unusual childhood,

“It was challenging. I grew up real fast. I saw things I might not normally see.  There were pot seeds around and I would pick them up. My mom thought it was funny if I ate them.”

Mia claims her days of substance abuse are now behind her.

“I lead a hard life early on so i can lead an early life now.”

Her mother, model Cyrinda Fox, died of brain cancer in 2002.
