Candy Spelling: I'm told it's called a "blind item" when a news or gossip story shows up attributed to a "source."

And, on Tuesday, there was a blind item that announced that my daughter Tori and I are "communicating," and that I had finally seen my grandchildren.

I was so nervous when my first friend called to tell me the news. "Is it true, Candy? Are you and Tori speaking?" We had both said we wanted to communicate privately. I hesitated, but this was a good friend, so I whispered, "Yes," it was true. I couldn't contain my joy.

The next day I did my first "press junket." That's another insider term for back-to-back interviews. The day was devoted to talking about "Bank of Hollywood," the new TV series I just made for E! Entertainment Television, which starts airing on Monday, December 14.

The first question was not about the show (which airs at 10 PM Eastern, 9 Central!) or the hopefuls who met with our panel, but about Tori and me.

So was the second question.

And the third.

Each of them was prefaced by, "I hope this is true, Candy ..."

The good feelings the journalists expressed have been reflected in the e-mails, posts, and calls coming in from friends, acquaintances, social networking buddies, and strangers. People are genuinely happy that Tori and I are communicating.

We're not giving details. We're not doing interviews about each other. I'm not going to speak for her, and she hasn't spoken about me.

I will say that I hope everyone can experience the joy I'm feeling now for the holidays and beyond.
