Ok, I must be the only person on the planet who didn't know who these two were. In a way, I wish I still didn't. If it wasn't for the laugh factor, I probably couldn't have finished this book. Are people really this superficial? I guess so, just look at the tv. I hope this book's intent was to give nothing more than laughs because that's what it gave me. How could it be meant to be taken serious? I would recommend this to anyone who needs a laugh or are fans of Heidi and Spencer. ( )

How to be Famous by Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt is a tongue-in-cheek guide for would be tabloid stars. As the authors gush, “whether you love us, hate us, or love to hate us, there is a recipe for infiltrating Hollywood, and we’ve got it.”

Montag and Pratt caution, “if you fail to churn out the drama that got people interested in the first place, you’re doomed to never see your sixteenth minute [of fame].” Thankfully, How to be Famous reveals how to keep churning out the drama for future Enquirer stories. With illustrative chapter teachings on: Your Point of Entry; Spencer’s Guide to Playing the Villain; Heidi’s Guide to Playing the Bombshell; Pretty on the Outside; The Paps are Your Friends; Tell Your Story; Couple Power; Building Your Brand; Getting Work Done is Your Job; and Famously Ever After, you too can be tabloid fodder.

How to Be Famous is a quick,glossy, satiric read (I read it from start to finish on a two hour plane flight and had time to spare) for the You Tube generation.
