'New Moon' Book Cover - Taylor Lautner & Kristen Stewart Embrace

Sexy. Little, Brown has revealed their cover for the movie tie-in edition of New Moon, which features an exclusive image from the Twilight franchise's second film. I think Robert Pattinson's moon face is actually kind of humorous.

Weigh in people!

Jennifer Love Hewitt Wants To Mend Your Relationship

Ghost Whisperer actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has taken stock of her relationship experience--both the good and the bad--and put pen to paper.

Currently dating her television co-star Jamie Kennedy, the star dishes in her book The Day I Shot Cupid all sorts of tips she's picked up while dating such Hollywood stars as Carson Daly, John Mayer and her ex-fiance, Ross McCall.

"Hopefully, in addition to having a good laugh, women reading this will learn from some of my hard lessons," the bubbly star told People magazine. I'm only reading this if the book jacket has a gory picture of Cupid with an arrow through his skull. Cause I'm sick like that.

Celebrity Autobiography: Stars Do Our Job For Us

Oh wow, this looks like my kind of event. On the Largo stage in Los Angeles, California, many a famous face took to the stage to read passages from the autobiographical tomes of their fellow celebrities.

The event was aptly titled, Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words and featured Ryan Reynolds, Lorraine Newman, Fred Willard and Jennifer Coolidge, just to name a few, incarnating such self-indulgent celebs at Star Jones, Suzanne Somers, Neil Sedaka and Mr. T.

As if it couldn't be more appealing, all the proceeds go to benefit the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital Foundation. The only thing I worry is that if all this teasing of famous folk catches on, I'll soon be out of a job.

Gallery Info: Ryan Reynolds, Craig Bierko, Jennifer Coolidge, Lorraine Newman, Matthew Perry, Leslie Ann Warren, Tracee Ellis Ross, Fred Willard and Bruce Vilanch at the Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words at the Largo stage in Los Angeles.

Lauren Conrad Shows Her 'L.A. Candy'

Bookstress Lauren Conrad is celebrating the launch of the first of three books as a result of her deal with Harper Collins.

The reality TV star unveiled her tome, L.A. Candy, at an event sponsored by Sunglass Hut and Vogue Eyewear. The pivotal character is Jane Roberts, whose personality is typified with a charming innocence and trusting nature. She and her outspoken best friend since childhood, Scarlett, move to Los Angeles and quickly find themselves the focus of a reality TV show.

Sound familiar? Well, it should, since the whole thing is based not-so-loosely on Lauren's stint on Laguna Beach and The Hills. I'm wondering how many phrases exist to express "staring off absently into the distance." Guess I'll just have to read the book to find out!

Julia Roberts & Javier Bardem Will 'Eat, Pray, Love'

Lucky duck Julia Roberts has been cast opposite hunky Spanish actor Javier Bardem in the film adaptation of the book Eat, Pray, Love by Oprah Winfrey-endorsed author Elizabeth Gilbert.

In the flick, Roberts will play the role of a depressed divorcee traveling through Italy, Indonesia and India, who stumbles across a love interest in the form of Bardem's character, Felipe.

It's set for release in 2011, so we're hoping this means that we can expect some on-set photos of Mr. Bardem in the not-so-distant future. Oh yeah, and Ms. Roberts too, we guess.

Octomom Nadya Suleman Snags Reality TV Show & Book Deal

Mother of 14, Nadya Suleman has snagged herself an extension on those 15 minutes of fame of hers. Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in January has signed a deal to allow a reality TV series to be produced about her life as a single mother of 14. In addition, Nadya will be co-writing a book with ghostwriter Wendy Lee.

Jeff Czech, Nadya's lawyer, explains that the series will be a "quasi-reality" show and says, "She's trying to find the middle ground and feels this approach will work best." But don't expect her to follow in the footsteps of TLC's Jon & Kate Gosselin.

Czech admits, "She's been watching them a bit lately and thinks it's boring." Boring? Adultery, crazy budgetary restrictions, severe blond wedge haircuts? Nadya, are we talking about the same people here?

Kanye West Publishes A Book, Not Interested In Reading

Boasting that authors who "write novels" are "so self-absorbed," rapper Kanye West has penned a tome himself entitled Thank You and You're Welcome. The 52-page "collection of thoughts and theories" was co-written with J. Sakiya Sandifer reads more like a collection of fortune cookie phrases and even has several blank pages.

One page says simply, "I hate the word hate!" while another section says, "Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!" There's some math for you guys. The sayings have been dubbed "Kanye-isms" by the hip-hop artist and were printed to clear up any confusion about quotes attributed to West.

Kanye says of his literary endeavor, "I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph." Similarly, we're guessing he would not want to take a book behind the middle school and get it pregnant. West adds, "I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life."

There you go, folks. The voice of a generation has spoken.
