Paris is Book Burning! Hilton Sis Launches 192-Page "Peek" at Celebutante-Heiress Lifestyle!

Professional writer Merle Ginsberg worked with Paris to co-write the volume, which is is subtitled "A Tongue-in-Cheek Peek Behind the Pose" and for which Ginsberg is given somewhat equal billing on the jakcet. Simon & Schuster, which published "Confessions," describes the book as "A Learjet's view of the fast, fun world of Paris Hilton--packed with enough photos, advice, and inside scoop to help anyone live a glamorous life." Well, we'll see about that.

We're way past irony on this one. We want a copy of the damn book already and we're not ashamed to admit it. We want to race through its 192 pages--good or shit read that it may be--and see for ourselves (1.) what Simon & Schuster and editor Trisha Todd did with the material and the positioning/marketing; and (2.) see if it's funny, stupid, entertaining, a yawn--whatever--and worthy at least of the bathroom reading shelf.

For those who aren't big on reading in the first place, but who are willing to plunk down $22.00 for "Confessions," note that there are lots of pictures in Hilton's book (which seems fitting, doesn't it?) of the WireImage papparazzi variety. We imagine if you've watched at least three minutes of either VH1 or E! Channel in the past couple of years, you've probably seen every photographic permutation of Hilton on the red carpet or Paris, cellphone to ear, caught in the glare of flashbulbs while tearing up Manhattan/West Hollywood. Which all means you'll have lots of fab and familiar Paris pix piled up with handy, convenient gratuitousness. (Yay, gratuitousness!)
