Starting October 8th, the Lifetime TV movie adaptation of TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET begins filming! I don't know too many details yet, except that JoJo (the pop singer-cum-actress) will be playing the role of Morgan Carter (anyone else see a slight resemblance to Lindsay Lohan?) and that Tim Matheson will be directing. Oh, and Kristen, my editor at Penguin, found out that Drew Barrymore will be filming an HBO movie in Toronto THE SAME TIME that TRUE CONFESSIONS is shooting there. How much would it kill to snag her for a cameo?

And for those of you who've been begging me for a third STARLET book? Looks like that might actually happen now, too.

Just found out that True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet was named one of New York Public Library's 2007 Books for the Teen Age. Thanks, NY!

Just found out that TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET was named a 2007 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults selection! It's on the "What's so Funny?" book list. I'm listed along with people like Gordon Korman! Sue Limb! Ned Vizzini!

I feel special.

Kudos to my good friend Laurie Faria Stolarz, whose BLUE IS FOR NIGHTMARES was named to the "Religion: Relationship with the Devine" list! Her books rock, and if you haven't read them, you totally should.

BTW, has anyone seen the promos for a Very Special Episode of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE airing in February? Hosted by (gasp!) DREW?
