Nope. Chopra didn't get cooler. Once a snake-oil man, always a snake-oil man. The dude is a fraud who preys on the emotional insecurities of the stupid.

Manga meets Kali

This sounds way cool. Deepak Chopra just got richer and way, way cooler.

The biggest question on people’s minds is this: will Deepak Chopra write comics? “Absolutely,” he replies. “I have a novel I am writing right now on the life of Buddha that we are going to also create a graphic novel out of. It's a wonderful story and as my son likes to remind me, the story of Buddha "pre-enlightenment" - so their is action and lust and rage and so many of the elements that inspire an epic. I'm planning on telling many more stories via this medium as well.”

Now, isn't it ironic?

Alanis to publish self-help book. It's about how to help yourself. And helping oneself to a self-helping of help. Oh, songstress! Heal thyself!

Hypergraphia

Grateful Dead lyricist, Robert Hunter, is writing novels now. I'm sure you were all wondering what the heck had happened to him. I know I was.

The first book is called ''Doppelganger,'' the name for the twin that, according to mythology, each of us has somewhere in the world. Hunter is loath to describe it in detail before publication, except to note that it puts to use the quantum mechanics theory of physics and includes ''a whole lot of doppelgangers.'' He's waiting on word from his publisher on when it will be released.''I feel I've got 10 books in me.''

I feel just the same. I just need time to, excuse me, urp, digest them all. Hey, which mythological creature took the name doppelganger, anyway? I'm a little hazy on that. Anyone?

Speaking of stars: this ain't cool
A little Pam and Tommy. No videos, don't worry. Or worry, depending. (Um, but do you think the opening comparison to Flight 292 was a bit of a poor choice?)

Agenda 2: Marlene we loved you

A whole bunch of awful poems discovered in a suitcase will be published and we will buy them becasue of her long, gorgeous legs, and those oh-my-god eyebrows.

Behind the doors of a Paris hotel room, Dietrich would use Noël Coward’s old portable typewriter to tap out poems to dead lovers including Ernest Hemingway and Yul Brynner, as well as fellow stars such as Ronald Reagan.

Oh, the frisson of poems to dead lovers. Creepagetti. Hey, wait a minute – when did Reagan die anyway? Wow. Dietrich was writing poems to a dead Reagan twelve years before his death. Maybe he really was a puppet after all.

Double posthumous

Marlon Brando and Donald Cammell (a poet who suicided, sigh, in 1996) have risen from the dead to help pay someone's bills. Many people are trying to get us excited about a pirate book that neither author had much interest in. And you may ask, What about my action filled, dialogue heavy, saccharine piece of tripe? Why not publish my crappy, locquacious, politically incorrect pulp fiction? You say, I'm not famous but at least I could go on tour with it. BINGO, SUCKER! Is there nothing not embarassing about the publishing trade? They've issued it in hardcover. Yes, a pulp fiction in hardcover. Anyway, it's called (I'm blushing, here) Fan-Tan. Go ahead, buy it if you want to.

Posh has never read a book

Shocked silence. Nothing but shocked silence from me. Did she not get the ones I sent her? I drew pictures of us on the beach inside the cover. And what about my ear? I suppose she never got that either...

High seas adventure gets some ballast

Marlon Brando, mostly famous these days for dying fat and reclusive, wrote most of a novel that some necrophiliacs (you know, the kind who hang around celebrities waiting for them to die) have decided to finish and publish. It's about a fat man and a pirate. Bonzai!

Madonna disappoints

You have to have expectations to be disappointed. I've always thought the woman to be a sham. It must be hard when a fan interviews her and finds out for herself.

By now, big fan that I am, I am feeling rather depressed. Madonna's a keynote figure in our household - my husband's daughter Chloe dresses up as Madonna on the Jewish festival of Purim, and any other day she can get away with it. Desperately Seeking Susan is my all-time favourite movie. Bagging this interview with Madonna was like winning the lottery - only cooler.

The writing wife

How did I miss this one? Hollywood wives, presumably bored and waiting for hubby to come home from the set, take up novel writing in place of mountains of cocaine and screwing the poolboy. I guess it's time to drop out of Poolboy U and get back into that certificate course on agenting... Will I never find a vocation?
