Prolific TV producer dies

TV mogul Aaron Spelling died Friday in his Beverly Hills mansion, after suffering a stroke last weekend. His wife Candy and son Randy were reportedly by his side, although daughter Tori's whereabouts are unclear at this point. The 90210 alum told People magazine earlier this week, "Dean and I will be traveling back to Los Angeles to be by my dad's side." Tori's relationship with her father had been strained since her split from first husband Charlie Shanian nine months ago. Her brother made an announcement on Thursday concerning family strife, saying, "The truth is that we love each other very much. This isn't Dynasty - this is real life, and we're dealing with my dad's medical condition with his best interests at heart, and as a family." Funeral details have not been announced.
