Michaele and Tareq Salahi to Pen Book, Continue Being Awful Human Beings

It’s incredible but true: Danielle Staub may not be the most despicable reality star on the planet. That dishonor now falls on Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the White House crashers who have been confirmed as cast members on The Real Housewives of D.C. The attention-starved wastes of space are planning a memoir about the security breach that caused them to end up at a party with the President in November. According to The New York Post , they’ll write the book with investigative reporter Diane Dimond. Dimond says the tome will “reveal the truth… of who the Salahis really are… It just never added up to me that someone could sneak in – past the [security] perimeter, no less! As I began to investigate, I realized the Salahis’ story is much bigger than what’s been reported.” We’re begging you, America: don’t encourage these people. Don’t buy this book.

Meet Elizabeth Gilbert, Unrecognized Public Intellectual

Elizabeth Gilbert , who—SPOILER ALERT!—married the guy she met at the end of Eat, Pray, Love , just published a new book about said marriage. But all she really wants is to be taken seriously as a smart person. It must have been tough for Gilbert, who had previously written three well-received if not bestselling books ( Pilgrims , a book of short stories, which a PEN/Hemingway Award finalist; the novel Stern Men ; and The Last American Man , which told the story of a man who moved to the Appalachian Mountains at 17 to live off the grid) to reconcile her lofty literary ambitions with the runaway commercial success Eat, Pray, Love , which has become a kind of middlebrow bible of self-discovery, so much so that she will be played by Julia Roberts in the film version.
