Pamela Anderson has written a novel.

It's called Star!

We just got it in today at the bookstore where I work. When you take off the book's jacket, on the other side of it there is a centerfold poster of Ms. Anderson herself, completely naked (with the exception of a few strategically placed star stickers).

Of course, when reading the About the Author note on the back of the jacket, it is pointed out to us that she had a ghostwriter. Big surprise.

But tell me something...does the fact that Pamela Anderson wrote a novel make you think that you could write one too? Cuz that's exactly what it made me think. In case anyone cares, I've always wanted to be a writer. I've been fooling around with it ever since I was a wee little girl. I used to write novels. Well...but I never finished any of them. I wrote them all in high school, when I was going through my embarassing teeny-bopper phase. So now when I take them out and read them, I cringe. I usually would stop writing around page 150, when it would occur to me that my dialogue sucked, my characters were annoying, and the plot was non-existent. Now, I can't even write a whole page. It's so sad, considering that becoming a published author is really my only goal in life.

But back to Pam. People...this is even worse than that time Britney Spears wrote a novel. At least  she had the decency to admit that it belonged in the Young Readers' section. I'm sure the only thing keeping Star from being in the children's section is the sex and implants. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure it's easy enough for my friend's 3-week-old son to read. Not that he'd want to, mind you.
