Books and the Stars: Tila Tequila And Who Should Eat, Pray, Love?

Unnecessary Celebrity Author of the Week: I never saw "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila," but I gather the MTV show was a dating competition that pitted girls against guys for the affection of a bisexual MySpace celebrity. Well, she sold her book this week -- a memoir, of course -- so now we will all find out how to achieve this particular American Dream.

The Elizabeth Gilbert Hype Train Rolls On: Powell's Books.BLOG mentioned the EAT, PRAY, LOVE adaptation, which was officially picked up by Brad Pitt's Plan B production company. But Julia Roberts is already attached to star, which... well, it's a plum role, but I wish it could be a careermaker for a total unknown instead of a J.R. joint. Or a real showcase for someone we've never really seen in a major role like that. My totally out there pick? Emily Mortimer doing an American accent (a reverse "Bridget Jones" if you will!)

Tila Tequila's feet are so white. It's really strange.

Oh, and I've totally seen Emily Mortimer doing an American accent! She was in Lars and the Real Girl. Sweet film.
