That's the question posed by Newsweek.
From the piece...
4. Show me the money.
Ah, money, the great unseen hand of Hollywood authors. Pamela Anderson’s Star, a New York Times bestseller in 2004, features its author topless on the cover, a marketing gimmick Dostoevsky wasn’t smart enough to ask for. More recently, Hilary Duff’s book-signing tour for her young-adult novel, Elixir (“Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life,” begins Amazon’s plot summary), has gotten her back on gossip Web sites, a change of pace for the faded teen star. These authors have nothing to say or prove, and if the right movie offer came along, they’d lay down their pens in a heartbeat and never speak of writing again.
5. Because your 15 minutes are about to expire!
Lauren Conrad committed to her LA Candy trilogy once she stepped out of the spotlight from her TV gig. What’s that? She’s not an actress? As anyone who’s watched The Hills knows, she’s an actress of the first order—and who else to better create fiction?
