The continual catfight between Tori Spelling and her mother is seeming to be hitting an all new low.

With the release of Candy Spelling’s book, which talks a bit about gossip about her daughter, things are taking on new levels of public bashing.

While Tori has acted like an adult in refusing to respond to anything that her mother has been throwing her way, one almost has to wonder what exactly is wrong with Candy.  How could any mother publically demean their own child so harshly?

In a statement to OK! magazine, Candy Spelling had these harsh words about her daughter:

“Everyone is complaining that they don’t have any money now, and here Tori is doing these grand parties. She even rented a house for Stella’s party.”

Stella’s (Tori’s daughter) first birthday bash was held (photos of the party at the link), and her grandmother seems to see it fit to bash Tori?

Isn’t this a bit over the top to so publicly fight?

What makes someone a “real friend”?

“A true friend has my back and will stick with me no matter what. He keeps my business private, and he appreciates and respects me.”–Justin, 11

“The friends I’m closest with are always truthful, even when the truth may hurt. They are always looking out for my best interests.”–Lucia, 14
