She’s already a reality star and a fashion designer, but Lauren Conrad is adding another title to her crowded resume: Author.
Conrad, 22, has signed on to write a three-book series of young adult fiction for HarperCollins. The books – the first of which is scheduled to hit shelves in the summer of 2009 – will be loosely inspired by Conrad’s own experience going from an ordinary teen to a reality TV star.
“It’s definitely influenced by my own life,” said Conrad. “The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities.”
So will Hills costars like Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt or Brody Jenner wind up as in Conrad’s series? Not exactly.
“I’m not trying to do a fictional story based on all my friends in my real life because their stories aren’t really mine to tell. Some of the characters may symbolize people in my life, but it is in no way calling anyone out.”
They’ll give anyone a book deal these days — on a more interesting note, did you know there was a “Feet Magazine“?

Britney Spears recently spoke with OK! magazine and shared a few insights — about her children and her mom, Lynne Spears, new “tell all” book.
If you were questioning Britney’s current lack of effort to win joint custody of her sons, Preston and Jayden, from her ex-husband Kevin Federline — the young mother hasn’t given up.
“Her goal is to regain joint custody of her sons, as soon as her dad Jamie’s status as her conservator ends.â€
AND… in spite of all the controversy surrounding Lynne’s memoirs, it’s reported that there is no controversy.
“Regardless of what people might think, Britney isn’t upset about the book. After a tough last year, Brit and Lynne have a wonderful relationship again.â€
Sounds like Larry Randolf is back to doing his job again. I’m glad that Britney and Lynne are talking again, but her parents still bother me.
If they had spent more time being parents, and less time looking for ways to benefit financially from Britney — well, let’s just say the last chapter might have been written differently.

It’s coming….the mother of knocked up at 16 Jamie Lynn Spears and ham sandwich crazy Britney Spears has her book.
“Through the Storm†is a guide on her experience in the tabloid rodeo of the Spears drama. It will hit bookstores on August 16th. I know every new parent is eager to get their hands on the info from the ultimate pimp, Lynn Spears.
Lynne was just an ordinary Southern mom when the overnight success of her daughter Britney shoved the Spears family into the blinding limelight glare.
Through the Storm takes readers beyond the reach of the paparazzi and outside the narrow orbit of the Hollywood glitterati to share the inside story of the Spears family-as only a mother can tell it.
In this openhearted memoir, Lynne speaks about Britney, Jamie Lynn, Bryan, ex-husband Jamie, herself, and their lives together from Louisiana to Los Angeles, including:
* Lynne’s backseat role in Britney’s path to fame and how it forever changed their family
* Her regret in abdicating parental authority to managers, agents, and record companies
* The challenges that shaped Lynne and Jamie’s marriage and how that affected Bryan, Britney, and Jamie Lynn
* Her response to Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy
* The startling events that led to Britney’s meltdown and Lynne’s showdown with manager Sam Lufti
* How faith, family, and friendships have been her harbor in the storm of paparazzi, tabloid scribblers, and gossip hounds
Sincere, self-effacing, sometimes spunky, Lynne’s memoir reveals the heart of a mother who has struggled through difficult times and how she has held onto her faith and her sense of humor as she tries to hold onto her family.
Reportedly, Brit-Brit is super pissed her mother is continuing to suck at the teat of her empire. The memoir was originally set to come out over Mother’s Day of this year, but after Jamie got knocked up it put a hold on things. The title was also rumored to be ‘Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.’
Personally I don’t understand this. It is about as smart as taking a laxative and sleeping pills at the same time. Or like taking makeup tips from Amy Winehouse. Eh, you get my drift. Plus the cover photo looks like a senior picture, delightfully tacky and over posed.

Charlize Theron is considering a career in politics after taking an interest in the U.S presidential elections. Hey… it couldn’t be any worse, eh?
Contact Music reports, She credits her South African upbringing to her interest in politics, which taught her not to be scared to question authority. She says,
 “I’m very politically aware. I don’t think I can be one of those people that can walk around with blinders on. I question authority, question what the government is doing, and I think that is an incredibly patriotic thing to do. I think if I didn’t care I wouldn’t ask any questions.
I love America and love living in this country. And I think, maybe coming from a country like South Africa, and being used to political turmoil, that’s just the way I grew up. I think it’s important to see and hear what everybody’s agendas are.”
