Forget Tori and Candy Spelling's feuding on the home front. Now they're going to be battling it out in bookstores.

Ready for the latest Spelling drama?

Candy is releasing her memoir, Stories From Candyland, on April 14, 2009. Tori's sophomore effort, Mommywood, was originally supposed to be released two weeks later, on April 28.

But several sources now tell me Tori's book will now come out on—you guessed it—April 14!

Does this mean the two will have joint book readings and signings at your local Barnes & Noble? Don't bet on it.

If things go as well for Tori as they did for her first book, sTORI Telling, she won't need anybody else's help. The 288-page tome actually hit No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.

A rep for Tori insists the change in publication date has nothing to do with her mother. "It was the publisher's decision to change the release date of Mommywood to April 14, in order to participate in special Mother’s Day promotions with major retailers," the rep said.

Uh-huh.

Stories From Candyland is "not a tell-all tabloidesque book," Candy's rep told me. He said it's a collection of "little vignettes" from her life, including recollections about the people she's met, the events she's attended and life as Aaron Spelling's wife.

Candy is currently a columnist for Los Angeles Confidential magazine and a frequent blogger on the Huffington Post.
