    Wish I Had This Ghostwriting Gig

    In my travels through the world of blogs about celebrities, one of the rags I've come to know and love is The Daily Mail out of the UK.  Don't ask me why I adore this rag, when clearly one cannot believe a word they print.  Perhaps it is for the bizarre photos they print (Amy Winehouse wandering the streets at 3 AM are always favs) or the strange English celebrities they follow (Peaches Geldorf) or the stupid photo-essays (today they featured one on the trash that Brangelina left behind after giving birth to twins).

    Time and time again I get dragged onto this site by enticing headlines and today was no different.  How could I resist this lure:  Katie Price Reveals: I Don't Write My Best-Selling Novels! 

    Now, I have no idea who Katie Price is.  Apparently she also goes by the name Jordan.  What she is famous for eludes me. Oh wait, the article says she was once a lad's mag favorite.  Don't know precisely what that is, but I can guess.  At any rate, she has apparently "written" three novels, the first of which, called Angel, sold more than 300,000 copies in the first two weeks it was out.

    And now comes the shocking news that she didn't write these stellar tomes.  As the Daily Mail notes, "But just when it seemed there was no end to the model's extraordinary talents, she has admitted enlisting more than a little help."   Ms. Price, or Jordan, or Katie, or whatever you want to call her, says she simply doesn't have time to write these books that have her name on them.

    That's a ghostwriting job I'd like to have--and I'm hoping that whoever the ghostwriter is, he or she got a healthy paycheck to begin with and an either healthier bonus when the novels hit the bestseller list.
