Congrats to funny lady Sarah Silverman, who reportedly has New York publishers going nuts trying to outbid each other for a book she’s penning. The bids are rumored to be over $2.5M now!
Meanwhile, Jerry Seinfeld is also shopping a book, and bidding on that is supposedly in the $8M range, causing eyes in the publishing industry to roll. Says one literary scout: “For serious, who has that kind of money? Isn’t the economy collapsing or something? How does giving Jerry Seinfeld more money seem smart to anyone?” Agreed. Give it all to Sarah instead.
Meanwhile, bids for my as-yet-untitled-and-also-unwritten debut novel are hovering somewhere around the $0 range and are expected to wrap up somewhere in the $0 range.
I think the bidding war over the book entitled ‘How to break up a marriage and still pretend you are happy about it’ should go the St Angelia. I would by that book. I will not be shopping for this non-comedian’s book.
By the way Beet, this is an old picture of this skank. Age has not been a friend to Sarah Silverman. I just want to rip that pony tail out by the roots.
@ tia—That’s not how bidding wars go. Publishing companies don’t decide to make up a book idea, then throw money at someone, making them write about that subject. Angie would probably not write a book like that (although I could see Jen writing someone else so juvenile….”uncool”); Ang would probably write some passionate plea about helping people and charity.
ugh.
Oh and I love Sarah, so I’m glad she’s doing well. And I didn’t know people still cared about Seinfeld… didn’t those microsoft commercials bomb?
hey Beet, I’ll put up $10 for the rights to your novel
Angelina Jolie DID in fact write a book, called Notes From My Travels, about her experiences with the war refugees, which was published a few years ago. In look forward to when she gets around to writing a new book.
Anniston, however, I can never see that idiot actually writing a book, neer mind getting whatever she wrote published. She’s a has-been loser, and unattractive to boot. This latest stunt with Vogue magazine and her Oprah-show bullshit is just more proof-positive of Anniston’s pathetic, boring bullshit.
$11!
hahahh snowblood <3
which comedian could sell more books today, not in ’95, sarah or seinfeld? i like her but i would guess he could still pull the midwest crowd more than she could
