HOOKING UP WITH TILA TEQUILA!!

Tilaaa

Tila Tequila's new book, Hooking Up with Tila Tequila hits book shelves today, and I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of it to review.

When I first got it, I laughed - How could Tila even know how to write a book?? Well, funny enough it was very insightful. The book actually tells a lot of truths about guys, girls and relationships. One of the greatest chapters in the book is called, Sucking Dick for a Bentley!! Here's a little text from it,

So I'll come clean. There were times I used what I had to get what I wanted. In LA, there are plenty of guys who like to spoil a pretty girl. I drew on the help of a few special friends. But once I got to where I was going, it was "Thanks, guys, peace out." Believe me they knew the drill. This is fucking Hollywood. It happens every day. You've got to be smart about it ladies. None of this sucking dick for a dollar bullshit. If you're going to do it, I'm talking about sucking dick for a Bentley. Seriously. Know your worth and make sure you get paid.

Take note guys - It's true... Girls USE guys, and it happens everyday - So just watch out!! Anyways, the book is a fun read, and it def. gives an in-depth look at the life of Tila Tequila.

For all you Tila fans in Toronto she will be signing copies of her book on December 9th (a week from today) at Chapters Book Store (142 John Street) between 7PM - 9PM!!

ALANIS MORISSETTE IS WRITING AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY...

Alanis Morissette has written an autobiography in which she admits to being raped, abused and having lesbian affairs...

Alanny

In her own words,

“I’m writing a book that will tell my life story. It details some of the things I have experienced and the abuse I’ve suffered. I was the victim of statutory rape and this book will help me get rid of the feelings of shame.”

Let it all out Alanis - Even though I don't support your new "look", you still rock as a singer!!

MARY-KATE & ASHLEY IN NEW YORK...

The Olsen twins caused a stir earlier today outside of their Barnes & Noble Union Square book signing... A pack of PETA protesters showed up in New York to let the twins know how they feel...

Mmkk

On another note, if you don't have a Halloween costume yet, here's an idea - PETA is selling masks of the twins on their site, as well as letting you PRINT 'EM OFF if you can't afford to pay!! Cheap, scary and to the point - What a great idea!!

LAUREN CONRAD SIGNS A BOOK DEAL!!

See I told you ANYBODY these days can put out a book!! And earlier today, Lauren Conrad signed a THREE BOOK DEAL with HarperCollins... It was only a matter of time!!

LC said,

"I've always loved books that I could lose myself in, ones that would transport me to another place, but had characters I could relate to. I'm so excited to have this opportunity to write books like that for other readers. The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities."

I'll be honest - I love LC, she's great, but I don't really care to read a book she's written!!
