Beau Breedlove is shopping a new scandal memoir around through a Chicago agent, according to the Oregonian this afternoon. Well, it’s a book proposal. He hasn’t actually written the thing yet.
“The book is a reflection on the events of my life before, during and after the ‘scandal’ surrounding my relationship with Sam Adams,” Breedlove wrote in an e-mail to The Oregonian.
“In addition, the book will cover a broader look at people who have been in similar situations to mine, and how stereotypes both play into the media attention as well as are used as tools against victims. This book is a memoir, and an insight into the change that the GLBTQ community needs to see in the way we are portrayed and represented.”
I’m having a hard time getting excited about reading it, but would be very interested in your title ideas. For inspiration, I have turned to a list of “Great Trash Hollywood Tell-All Books” on Amazon, written by a “grad student” named “Eileen.”
1.Montgomery Clift: A Biography by Patricia Bosworth (otherwise known as “what not to do if you find yourself with unlimited access to prescription painkillers,” writes Eileen.)
2.The Sexiest Man Alive: A Biography of Warren Beatty by Ellis Amburn (“Very gossipy,” writes Eileen. “Probably completely untrue. Which makes it a perfect read!”)
3.My Wicked Wicked Ways: The Autobiography of Errol Flynn by Errol Flynn (“charming, irascible, frank, and unapologetic,” says Eileen)
4.Little Girl Lost: by Drew Barrymore—”a child star’s descent into drug addiction.” Oh, “and out again.” The optimism!
- I HAVE TO HAVE THIS BOOK NOW
5.I’m With The Band—Confessions of A Groupie, by Pamela Des Barres. This one is just worth it for the cover. The subtlety. The wit.
This is the funniest post I have ever written.
Maybe you should have ended the post by reminding us to vote tomorrow.
C’mon, Matt! What about that series of stories you wrote about the British twit and his cunning butler who was constantly getting him out of jams? Those were hilarious!
Wait. That’s P.G. Wodehouse, isn’t it?
Yes.
And THAT’s why bicyclists should pay the same taxes as– Wait. What tha? WHY AREN’T WE DISCUSSING SAM ADAMS IN CAPS? Ohhhh. I thought this was the Oregonian website. Sorry.
