Not an Heiress
A statement from the Spelling family criticizes Tori's remarks after her father's death, calling them "hurtful and very disturbing." A month later, Spelling learns that she and her brother Randy will each receive about $1 million of their father's $300 million estate. Spelling tells USA Today, "My dad was really the glue of our family. The mother-and-daughter dynamic has always been a wonderment to me, and it can be a very difficult dynamic. Especially with my doting dad, who just lived through his little girl."
Working Mom-to-Be
Spelling, who is 14 weeks pregnant, uses her entire inheritance and money from her two-day garage sale to open a bed & breakfast with McDermott for their upcoming Oxygen network reality series, Tori & Dean: Inn Love. The 9-acre estate in Fallbrook, Calif., about 100 miles southeast of L.A., is named Chateau La Rue, after Spelling's pug Mimi La Rue. Spelling also begins writing a memoir. "I certainly hope that (the book) doesn't cause more damage," Spelling says. But after hearing the baby news, grandmother-to-be Candy says she's "thrilled and ecstatic" about the pregnancy.

Reconciling with Candy
Candy tells PEOPLE that she and her estranged daughter are trying to patch up their relationship. Spelling's brother Randy, 28, who's been stuck in the middle, says, "No matter what, we are family, and they're resolving things and getting back together. They are communicating, and it makes both of them happy. It's definitely a mutual thing."
Tori: 'Mommihood ROCKS'
Spelling and McDermott welcome son Liam Aaron McDermott. Her mother Candy is at the hospital and tells PEOPLE, "I am looking forward to doting on my new little grandson and all the memorable fun that comes with it." Spelling writes on her Myspace blog, "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. [Liam] is my little angel baby and I had no idea you could love someone you've only known for four days this much. But my heart is jumping out of my chest with love. Mommihood ROCKS!"
Tori & Dean: Inn Love
The couple's Oxygen reality series premieres, chronicling their efforts to run a B&B in Fallbrook, Calif. They return for a second season in June 2008, but this time, the couple is back in Hollywood sans B&B.

Spelling welcomes daughter Stella Doreen in June.
