Celebrity Authors.

I am a big time fan of Lauren Conrad and have been since we first met Lauren on MTV’s Laguna Beach. I have followed her from Laguna Beach and then over to The Hills when she made the move and I have enjoyed every minute of watching her live her life through the MTV camera lens. I can’t explain why I’ve been addicted to every show that she’s been on because well, I don’t know why I’ve been addicted. I only know that I have been for years.

I still am, come to think about it and now Lauren’s taken the road that most celebrities have taken and she’s penned a book.

It’s a work of fiction about…well, her life and I was excited enough to want to read it because I’m dazzled by the life that Lauren shows us on The Hills. I’ve been reading and reading this book like my eyes are going to pop out of my head if I stop reading and I can’t help but wonder why I’m so dazzled by Lauren. The book is interesting enough but it’s nowhere near as great as some of the other books by my favorite authors and yet every single person that I’ve come across who has seen me with this book have been so frickin’ excited about the book that they can’t wait to buy it in hardcover and read it for themselves. Everyone wants this book and it surprises me because these are the same people that will not pick up a book by any other author and I know this because I’ve pimped out some of my favorite authors to these people and it’s months later and they’re still nowhere near close to finishing the books that I’ve given them to try out. It seriously puzzles me because they’re totally missing out on other great authors.

I’ve read a couple of books by celebrity authors and I know that I will continue to read books written by my favorite authors but my favorite authors continue to be the authors that don’t have their own TV Shows or record deal with the biggest record label. My favorite authors are still the ones that pen those romance novels that are touching, engaging and totally fantastic.

Why do you guys think celebrities turn to writing books? Should they? Have you read a book by a certain celebrity that you think is just oh so amazing and want to share with us?
