Viva la France!

In the wake of my discovery about my international superstardom, I've got more exciting news to report! SCOT ON THE ROCKS is now available in French!



I've got this totally new fabulous French cover, and it looks like they've taken SCOT's subtitle to use as its title. (But my French is really rusty, so please feel free to correct me!)



But can we discuss how cute this cover is?! Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE my American covers. Red Dress Ink's art department truly outdid themsel

Glee!!!

Well, in the wake of devastating disappointment, I now have my new television obsession all lined up for next year. One word: GLEE! It's brought to you by Ryan Murphy, the guy behind Nip/Tuck, but this looks a little more like his previous effort, Popular.

Over before it even started!

Let's all take a moment of silence here. The proposed Gossip Girl spin-off is now officially OVER. That's right, it's over before it even began! Before they even aired the flashback episode featuring Brittany Snow as the young Lily (this Monday! Woo hoo!!!!), the show is dead in the water. Even Perez Hilton is reporting it, and as you all know, I take anything Perez says as gospel.

Let's all bow our heads for a moment....[image error]

My worlds have officially collided

Those of you who read my blog know that I'm completely obsessed with Gossip Girl. And, I've also been following the casting of the new movie remake of Footloose. I was thrilled when I found out that the super-hot Chase Crawford was screen testing for the lead role in Footloose, but now, it turns out that he may not be available to star in Footloose because of his commitments to the Gossip Girl shooting schedule.

Worlds colliding!

The universe is so unfair-- I don't know who to root for here. Do
