America is on the mend. Companies are slowly crawling out of financial ruin, people are starting to stand up on their own two feet, and yet Hollywood expects us to take the money we've earned back and stick it in a shredder. If you thought sniffing glue was a bad idea, then prepare yourselves. Spencer and Heidi Pratt are releasing their very first book, How To Be Famous. Why? Because you want to be just like them, that's why. You want people to hate you. You want to say stupid things and fall victim to delusion. You want your every action ridiculed and you want to be ignored for simply being you.
Making the publicity rounds to squeeze every last dollar out their "book", Speidi sat down with Playboy for a meeting of the minds.
"As self-proclaimed experts on the subject, 'Speidi' dishes out advice on 'looking the part, playing the press and becoming a tabloid fixture.' The platinum pair offers up such nuggets of wisdom as 'remember that every little fight with the person you're dating should become a headline' and 'having a conscience is for losers.' Social strategies and roles are named after the celebrities who inspired them: Moving through increasingly famous dating partners for the purpose of upping your Hollywood stature is dubbed 'The Jennifer Garner Approach,' and boring, sweet girls who get dumped for exciting bad girls are 'Jennifer Anistons.' (Heidi strongly advises against being a Jennifer Aniston because 'bitches get the guy.') All of this may sound ludicrous, and, it is. Be that as it may, Speidi is laughing all the way to the bank."
Choice selection from the interview:
PLAYBOY: Overall the book has a light-hearted tone and you guys seem to be poking fun at yourselves. Did you have some laughs at your own expense when you were writing it?
SPEIDI: One of the points we make in the book is that you have to take your job of being famous seriously, but you can't take yourself seriously. People who can't laugh at themselves make for lousy people and even worse celebrities.
Please don't buy this book. Spend the money on something more sensible, like a wheel of cheese or batteries.
