Yet another celebrity tome
The emaciated one has published a book which is loosely (totally) based upon herself, and even features her ex friend Paris Hilton (Simone).
"More of a character study than an actual story, The Truth About Diamonds is told by "Nicole" about her friend Chloe Parker, the adopted daughter of a 1970s superstar music producer - the character is clearly based on Richie herself. ("If I didn't feel like dealing with the paparazzi, she could even pass for me," writes Richie.) The somewhat tenuous plot has Chloe and her friend Simone, whose penchant for appearing in "night-vision skin flicks" marks her as a Paris Hilton stand-in, starring in a Simple Life-like reality show. Chloe goes to rehab and then bounces back with the help of a DJ boyfriend, whose "gastric bypass made him half the man he used to be." Even the sporadic reader of InTouch knows that Richie is a former heroin user whose (now ex, as of last week) fiance, DJ AM, underwent surgery to go from not to hot. "

I'm confused, is it an autobiography or not? Come to think of it, perhaps Richie doesn't know what an autobiography is, which may explain the confusion. We do love the cover though, anorexia never looked so glamorous.
