We don't get it!

It's not like Ryan Seacrest needs the work or the money, so why is he degrading himself ?!

The American Idol host/radio DJ/ E! News bitch is now heading a new show for E! called The Bank of Hollywood. The new show will find contestants pitching money-making ideas to business leaders with Sean Patterson (the head of a modeling agency) as the main judge and other "well known" celebrities guest hosting.

Taping for the first episode starts this week and rumor has it Candy Spelling is attached to be the other judge.

Because the first name we think of when we think business is CANDY! If she is the best the show can get for it's premiere episode, it's doomed before it even begins!

Although she's a mediawhore of the written word, Dean McDermott's ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace has no intention of entering into the exploitative world of reality TV.

In her book Divorce Sucks, Eustace claims that she was approached by producers of Tori and Dean to appear on the show for a drama-inducing good time.

And it would have been scandalous!

McDermott cheated on the Canadian TV chef with Tori Spelling while they were still married in 2006!

Yikes!

Producers suggested that the scorned ex move in next door or take the "organic" route and have a two to three hour confrontation with Tori!

We had no idea that Tori and Dean was a middle-aged The Hills!

Eustace toyed with the idea of appearing on the show, but decided against it to protect her son.

"I have managed to keep my son off the reality show and cast him in his very own and wonderfully private life," she said. "I mean, seriously — remember the Diff'rent Strokes kids? Enough said."

Maybe her and Candy Spelling should have a chat!

Obviously, it was only a matter of time before Candy Spelling used her public feud with daughter Tori Spelling to pave the way for her own TV show.

Candy has announced that she will be having her own series, though she insists that unlike her daughter's program, her show will be scripted, not a "reality show."

Newsflash, Candy: Most reality is scripted. Have you turned on The Hills ever?!

When asked about her mother swooping in on her territory, Tori remained very gracious, albeit taken aback by the news, and wished her "the best" with the endeavour. Not a hostile or negative remark left her lips.

Good call, Tori. Rise above.

Because you know your mother won't!

If only this wasn't just fodder for the press and became a conversation with a loved one!

In an interview with OK!, Tori Spelling opened up about the very delicate situation with her estranged mother, Rotten Candy:

Here are some HIGHlights:

On making amends:
“I definitely want to reconcile with my mother, but that’s the wrong word. There’s nothing that really happened that made us fight. It’s just time, distance and media that have come between my mom and me.”

On making changes:
“I just think that as long as we both keep it private from here on out, reconciliation is imminent. It will totally happen and I hope that she wants that.”

On Candy being a grandmother:
“I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I’m still a momma’s girl at the heart of the situation. I look forward to the relationship that Liam and Stella will have with their grandmother one day and I’m confident that it will happen.”

Tori's husband, Dean, on family:
“I know the hurt because I have gone through it. I know what it’s like to hold out hope and for it to not pan out and to get your feelings hurt again and again. After a while, at the end of the day, you really have to protect yourself and see that it’s not healthy for us… Your family can cause you a lot of pain and heartache.”

We hope they work it out!

How ’bout some televised family therapy on Tori & Dean?

Last month, we mentioned how Tori Spelling's estranged mother, Candy Spelling, wrote a public letter to Tori basically bashing her nonstop.

And, even more surprising, she accused Tori and hubby Dean McDermott of using her grandchildren as "reality show props."

You know, cuz Candy has to write this letter since she claims Tori wont answer her calls, texts, or emails. But we're guessing stopping by Tori's house is out of the question.

Now it's Tori and Dean's turn to respond to Candy's remarks.

When the couple were spotted at the airport this weekend, the paps quickly asked Tori if she had read her mom's public letter, to which Tori simply said, "I haven't read anything. We've been on vacation and soooo happy."

But Dean comes to their defense and says, "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."

And there you have it.

We expect Candy to respond shortly.

Candy Spelling won't shut her piehole!

The negligent grandmother recently sat down to defend herself - yet again - for failing to attend her granddaughter Stella's first birthday party.

Spelling, who has famously trash-talked estranged daughter Tori Spelling via the internet, has never met Tori's daughter. 

They live in the same town!!

She tells OK!magazine that she wasn't a no-show and claims "I sent Tori an email which she opened at 10:38 in the morning," the day of the party.

That's your defense?  Bailing at the last minute via email???  That's not exactly nurturing behavior, granny.

Spelling was displeased to be "the punchline," of Tori's reality show.

Why do magazines even humor her?? Bitch needs to shut up and get a life (maybe one that involves her family).

Team Tori!

Success is the best revenge!

Last night's season finale of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, which Candy Spelling recently publicly bashed, has garnered itself a huge accolade:

Over One Million Viewers!!!

For the first time in the network's history, Oxygen pulled in over one million sets of eyeballs in the 18-49 demographic with Tori Spelling's reality show and has been crowned the network's most watched telecast EVER!

The episode was about the drama surrounding baby Stella's first birthday party and the pain caused by her absent grandmother, Candy.

Candy had gone on the war path defending her choice not to attend, but somehow we think Tori doesn't care too much anymore.

She's got killer ratings now to make her feel good about herself. No need for her absent mother!

This woman is quite the hypocrite!!!

Since drafting a scathing letter to her daughter Tori via internet, Candy Spelling is now changing her tune!

She may have referred to her grandkids, Liam and Stella, as Tori's reality show props, but she has managed to air enough dirty laundry of her own!

In the finale of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, Tori divluges, "I'm mad at myself. I'm mad that I actually got sucked back into holding out hope once again after 36 years."

And when Candy doesn't show up to Stella's birthday party, hubby Dean McDermott adds, "I told you so. I know that's a (expletive) thing to say. Nothing good could have come from inviting your mother."

In her defense, the party was being filmed for a reality show!

Candy says there's one reason why the two never speak, "My daughter doesn't like the telephone. She doesn't answer. I text her. I have left messages. I've e-mailed her, and she doesn't respond."

Although she has never met Stella and seen Liam a handful of times, Candy wrote a letter to them in her book, Candyland, stating:

"They are living a different life than my children lived as they grew up, and I wanted them to know some of how their mother grew up, and some of our wonderful memories. I don't really know what she tells her children about me, and it was important for me to say something positive to them that someday they may read. I'm hoping that someday they see a different side than what they may have been told."

Not if they ever decide to use the internet!!!

Still, Candy claims she will never stop trying to reconcile, "It could be years of disappointment. Maybe someday she'll get it. She's my daughter. I may not approve of everything she does, but I love her."

Boo hoo to the press!!!

Now that she's single, we know just the man for her!!!!

Candy Spelling may have some valid points, but she negates them all by not taking the higher road.

YOU are the mother, bitch. Stop acting like a fucking child!

The estranged and horrid mother of Tori Spelling is once again bashing her daughter publicly. This time because the 90210 alum's reality show has made Candy's snubbing of an invite to meet her new granddaughter for the first time (on camera, of course) into the two-part finale for this season.

In a scathing new letter, Candy writes:

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 glaces. Clue Lights.

I did get an invitation just in time for the RSVP deadline. I'm sure its delivery will be on next week's episode with some comment about my house or driveway or street or something they won't like. I wonder if that will be spread out over one part or two. Sigh.

A big party wasn't how I envisioned meeting my granddaughter for the first time; but, hey, this is Hollywood, and my grandchildren have become reality show props, too. At the time I emailed "yes," I didn't realize I was being set up for a two-parter, even though it was clear I was being invited to be part of a segment for my daughter's reality show.

Spoiler alert. Don't read this if you plan to sit through an hour of people looking at their watches and saying "she's late." I decided my first meeting with my granddaughter should be on home video, not primetime cable; so I emailed that i would not be attending.

Back to other reality stars. My husband taught me that the plots have to be fresh and updated. The same old whining gets tired after a while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it.

For all the reality show personalities, please remember that real life doesn't get edited to make things better or worse or get better ratings. You're responsible for what you do. Life isn't just a show. And your families can't just be props. Make your own season finale without creating conflicts you will regret later.

Dear Candy,

See a therapist.

Work out your "issues" in private!
