IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY "Candy Spelling tells ET exclusively she's writing a book! 'It's true,' she says. 'I am close to signing a deal to write a book. But everyone should hold on. I have lots of stories I've never told, and they will all be in my book!'"

BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT "Candy Spelling won $180,000 at a slot machine at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. … Spelling has an estimated worth of $600 million. … This is Spelling's second large Vegas win."

• Some things don't ever need to "git dun." [BWE]

• The New York Times is now sparking gay rumors. Give it two more years before Family Circus is next to Maureen Dowd. [DListed]

• This just keeps getting better: Eliot Spitzer's number one lady was once the star of a Girls Gone Wild scene. [HT]

• It's NYC graffiti, son! Co-opt that shit. [CityRag]

• Carrie Bradshaw says she's angry about Maxim naming her the least sexy woman in the world, and that it made her husband, Matthew Broderick, question his taste in women. Understandable, but they should both realize they're getting mad at Maxim, laugh and then use that paper erection as kindling. [Yeeeah]

• Candy Spelling gets blog space on the Huffington Post? Really? Oh, cruel media. [ICYDK]

• Ashley Tisdale is a Muppet, right? [INO]

Not one to waste any time with pleasantries, Candy Spelling is supposedly putting the infamous Spelling Mansion on the market for a cool $150 Million. Clearly there will be hordes of buyers clammoring to place bids, because who doesn't need separate rooms for the doll collection and gift-wrapping? I can barely stand having to keep my shoes in the same room as my sweaters, let alone the dolls and the tissue paper. TMZ has the story:

Sources in the real estate industry say Westside Estate Agency (WEA) has a pocket listing on the 56,000 square foot estate, meaning it is is quietly being shopped among realtors and select buyers. The mansion, located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of L.A., was completed in 1991 for around $47 million, which includes $10 million for the land.

One real estate source says Candy Spelling has let a lot of people on the staff go and that the buzz is that she is going to shut the house down so it can be shown by realtors.

Aaron Spelling passed away two weeks ago, so, it seems like about the right about of time to grieve, asses the value of the house, and prepare to sell the shit out of it, right? I like to think Candy's just trying to amass as much money as possible so it stings that much more when she doesn't let Tori have any of it.
