There’s a recurring trend in book publishing. Politics, out just a few years ago is back again. Anything by Dan Brown flies off the shelf. But I cite the trend of celebrity books. One brand new celebrity offering has my attention; Star by Pamela Anderson.<\/p>\n
Why? Because Pamela Anderson, according to a recent interview did not write this book. Instead this fictional account of a girl who grows up on an island, moves to the big city, becomes an actress and sleeps with rock stars was written by a man named Eric Shaw Quinn. Yep, the gay novelist.<\/p>\n
Star interests me because it’s another example of a writer crafting something completely outside their experience.<\/p>\n
There’s a saying no one knows nothing in movies. I know even less about the book business, but I suspect that Star will ship.<\/p>\n
But if Star flops, the same publisher has a chance for redemption with Tommyland, by Pamela’s ex-husband Tommy Lee. Word is he has a ghost writer too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
