• Nick Lachey broke his silence over Daisy's disappearance. "I think a lot of people forget that Daisy was my dog, too—for years." He's right; we were all so caught up throwing a pity party for Jessica Simpson that we never stopped and asked the 98 Degrees singer about his feelings. "I was upset," he says. "It was sad to hear that happened, but it's part of the cycle of life." Finally, closure for everyone.

• For the record, Tori Spelling weighs 107 pounds, not 95, "if you care about FACTS," Star magazine! Why can't everyone quit Twitter?

• Katy Perry awkwardly interviewed Karl Lagerfeld after his Paris Fashion Week show and it was adorable. It briefly helped us to forget that this is going on.

• Taylor Swift got photobombed by a mustached Daniel Craig.

• Debra Messing wants your help feeding hungry people.

Tori Spelling is in recovery mode. From what, nobody knows.

The Inn Love reality star and professional marriage rumor-debunker is currently laid up in a hospital, where she has been receiving treatment for severe stomach pains.

"Tori went to the hospital last night for abdominal pain," her rep told E! News. "They released her last night. She wasn't feeling any better today so she returned to the hospital for more tests."

There's the clinical, succinct explanation. For the slightly less composed alternative, we turn to Spelling's concerned hubby, Dean "Twitter Play-by-Play" McDermott.

Why so glum, Tori Spelling—or is that just anger in your eyes? And why are you all dressed up like such a down 'n' out flapper—straight outta 1929 and everything—at the Much Love animal rescue event in West Hollywood?

Are the jackboots putting the squeeze on your local speakeasy? Or has the economy crashed down all around you, and you're having to hoard soup cans and gas rations? Or are you just so worried about the German war debt?

Or is it because you showed up to a red carpet event draped in a Halloween costume that's generally found in a plastic bag on clearance at Walgreens, right next to the flip-flops?

Whatever it is, we hope you snap out of it and get well soon!

Might Candy and Tori Spelling get sweet sooner rather than later?

Instead of waxing not-so-nice to TMZ, Tori took the high road and spoke of someday making peace with her mom to OK! magazine.

"I definitely want to reconcile with my mother, but that's the wrong word," she said. "There's nothing that really happened that made us fight. It's just time, distance and the media that have come between my mom and me."

Ironically, the 90210 queen thinks keeping the fight out of the media—read: not talking about it to reporters (or playing it for ratings on a reality show)—may help mend the mess.

"I just think that as long as we both keep it private from here on out, reconciliation is imminent," she says. "It will totally happen and I hope that she wants that. I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I'm still a mama's girl at the heart of the situation.

"I look forward to the relationship that Liam and Stella will have with their grandmother one day, and I'm confident that it will happen."

Still, we won't hold our breath.

The latest in the mother-daughter feud between Candy and Tori Spelling is like something only the late family patriarch Aaron Spelling could have scripted.

Though, to be fair, the TV mastermind behind The Love Boat and Charlie's Angels would certainly have made this much sexier, a lot less tedious and probably found a way to include a guest shot for Charo.

But here goes.

In an open letter to TMZ addressed to "MIDDLE-AGED REALITY SHOW STARS (LIKE MY DAUGHTER)," Candy offers her explanation as to why she declined to come to her granddaughter's first birthday party. In short, Candy says she didn't want to become part of a reality show storyline.

Fine, though it's not clear why the elder Spelling chooses to drag the good name of reality-show wannabes into her score-settling, but whatever. They're probably glad just to be mentioned.

Tori has not yet commented or aired a Tori & Dean: A Very Special Episode (the Candy/party issue will be covered in this season's two-part season finale) in return, but we imagine she will have more to say on the subject as much as we wish no one involved ever would again.

Our feeling? Jokes aside, this is just sad. Make nice, people.

Ryan O'Neal could barely contain himself. Confronted by cameramen outside a Santa Monica hospital this morning, the actor was peppered with questions about Farrah Fawcett's condition.

"Hey, Ryan, how's Farrah? Is she OK?" someone asked.

"Farrah's gone," he said.

The heartwrenching scene played out just 90 minutes after Fawcett died. After composing himself a few hours later, O'Neal saluted his companion:

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," he said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

It was the first of many similar statements from family, friends and fellow Angels...

Everybody knows Candy and Tori Spelling had a beef, but now mom is taking the family feud to a whole new level of nasty.

Appearing on a Massachusetts radio station Thursday to pimp her new book, Stories From Candyland, Candy Spelling not only bad-mouthed her 90210-starring spawn but went so far as to blame husband Aaron Spelling's demise on her estranged daughter.

"My daughter one day decided that she wasn't speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that's how it's continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years," Candy said to 94.7 WMAS-FM's Kellogg Krew.

"And it was sad, that's what killed my husband, actually. He just didn't want to live after that. He [had] just done everything he could possibly do for his daughter, and she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."

The über-producer died June 23, 2006, following a stroke; angst was not listed as the official cause of death.

Candy says that while both women have paid lip service in interviews about reconnecting, there has been no such luck thus far. "I've always been trying to work on the relationship. I don’t know what the anger is."

Call it a hunch, but maybe it has something to do with the accusations of patricide.

We've been trying to get reps for Tori and Candy on the horn, but so far nada.

Tori Spelling helped 90210 get its head back above water.

A week after slipping under the 2-million-viewer mark, the CW show scored 2.1 million for Tuesday's return of Spelling's ditzy Donna Martin, per preliminary Nielsen estimates. The episode was the reboot's biggest audience in two months, the network said.

After starting off strong last fall, 90210 is now averaging a CW-average 2 million viewers for the season.

Elsewhere in Tuesday's ratings:

• Compared to last week, American Idol (23.5 million from 8-9 p.m.) was up, which means people really like hearing Bryan Adams covers, and/or NCIS was a rerun.  

• Compared to last week, Dancing With the Stars (14.8 million) was up, too, which means people really looked forward to Steve-O's ouster, and/or The Mentalist was a rerun.

• DVR users don't like it when Idol bleeds into another time slot, but Fringe (11.5 million from 9-10 p.m., including the final four minutes of Idol) doesn't mind at all.

• The Biggest Loser (9.1 million) ran second on the night only to Idol/Fringe among adults 18-49. 

• Reaper (2 million) didn't feature Spelling, or E!'s Ben Lyons. It was, yup, down.

• For ABC, DWTS was the oasis surrounded by the dry, dry desert that was According to Jim (4.5 million) and Cupid (6.6 million).
