Wear Faux Fur While Reading About Faux-lebrities
(Hachette Book Group)
What's the fall forecast for celebrity shenanigans? Any prognostications as we go forward? -- Submitted to Thursday's Celebritology Live chat
I don't know about prognostications, but the three items below are guaranteed celeb happenings. Mark your calendars:
The Speidi Book: Heidi Montag and husband Spencer Pratt may be way past their 15-minutes of fame limit, but that hasn't stopped the Hachette Book Group from publishing the couple's "How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture." Due on shelves Nov. 16, the picture-filled paperback is chock full of useful advice -- like Pratt's guide to being a "villain" -- on how to be an utterly vapid waste of space. Stay tuned, I'll surely have a bit more fun with this one closer to November.
The Rachel Zoe-ization of America: The diminutive stylist's line of faux fur coats (exclusive to home shopping network QVC) may just turn middle American moms into an army of Wookie-vest wearing fashionistas.
The 2009 Lizzies: Coming up Sept. 24 -- vote your conscience to name this year's dippiest celeb couple, dumbest celeb career move, best celeb satire video and more. (Check out last year's winners here.)

Real people wear fake fur, fake celebs wear real fur.

That Heincer has a book coming out makes me think of Shakespeare.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Liz, just a reminder that we denizens of this blog have rejected the media-accepted way-too-cool moniker "Speidi" in favor of the more revolting sounding (and Onomatopoeiatic) "Heincer" as wholly appropriate for these two utterly vapid wastes of space.

Only Byoolin could quote Shakespeare about Heincer.

I don't need no steengkeeng fake fur coat. I wear one all the time. Grew it myself.

Is anyone surprised that Heincer's great masterpiece is a picture book?
"The Speidi Book" sounds like a cuisine-specific cookbook focused on the sandwich from the Southern Tier of New York State. But, that book would be relevant and useful.
Item #2 needs some editorial help: Rachel Zoe and shag carpet manufacturers team up with QVC to revitalize the shag carpet and television-shopping industries, at the expense of middle-American moms with no fashion sense.

That Speidi/Heincer book looks like a real Hatchette job.
