Sheila's Book Deal


Now that the stupid couples talk has finally ended, Sheila is now telling Sharon how the book industry works. It's been in the works for almost ten years, and she came on the show to help it get published.

She thinks being on the show will also help her get on Oprah, Larry King, and Letterman to promote it.

But she won't make much money on it. Fifty percent go to the ghost writer (yes, she's not writing her own inspirational story), and the rest of her "team" get the majority of the money. She'll be lucky to get 5%.

No, she'll be lucky to get it published. Memoirs by former centerfolds aren't exactly in demand, unless your name is Traci Lords or Jenna Jameson.

Tony said...

ugh...she is the worst. i still would rather have her in the house then NataLIE though

Ashley said...

her situation is not worth reading about. i don't really care about a woman who was good looking, using it to her advantage to get money.

and i'm also not a fan of anyone who says "i've had a hard life." you're not special.

5% of nothing is nothing :)

She thinks her story is inspirational. I don't get it. She's an unemployed, middle-aged, sun-ravaged single mom.

how many "Durrr's" would have been in the book if it wasn't ghost written???

Did you know that piece of paper that Julie Chen holds in front of her crotch is called Pussiflage?

Reefer Jello said...

But my wife disagrees. She says it should be called Camelflage.

well said Scott

And ReeferJello priceless chuckle. But she really uses it to cover her thighs and they don't need to be covered.

well said ashley. i mean, its not inspirational that you took your clothes off for money. i am not judging people for that... i really have no problems with the occupation of your choice. i just wouldnt be like "wow i can relate to this."

i dont think many people can.

Well, she won't need to make money off the book 'cause she's going to have a half million dollars when this show is over ;)

I have to admit, that after last week, I have a grudging respect for the way Sheila is playing the game. (Not that I particularly like her) But she was the one who needed Nat out of the house the most and... she managed to convince both Adam and Ryan that it was in their best interest to get rid of her. Whether it gets her to the end... I don't know. But I agree with James when he was first evicted when he said that Sheila is playing the best game right now.

If she gets to the end, I think she just might win the money. After all, when people go, she takes the time to make her peace with them before they leave. James, when he was first evicted, said that Sheila was playing the best game. I think even Nat would be more inclined to vote for her after her goodbye message and the reasons Sheila gave for evicting her.

Yes, ole' Sheila did the Karen/Vulture (BB5, Boohoo if I had to say BB5, remember her now, what kind of fans are you? ;) routine at the end. She, as much as anyone, and way more than the boys, is ALL about the end voting, and one of the major reasons she didn't want Natalie to know it was all her idea. That's why I loved the confrontation that 'she didn't get' Watch for it, she does the Karen/Vulture routine down to the tee

She is delusional if she thinks she can get on oprah to promote her book and letterman and ...etc.Maybe if she would win the big brother and even then a big MAYBE but if she just got to the end and that's it it's impossible to get on this show unless she got a very very good book.
But she is delusional i saw on the feeds she was talking to adam that when they get out of the house they could start something and help people they could do bussines with donald trump (hahahahaha) how delusional is this women donald trump has some bilions and doesn't give a shit about a big brother winner who wins pocket money for him and this applies to most of the famous rich people they don't give a crap about some idiot winner of big brother.
About the book like i see her i don't think it's a good book but if she gives us a smart insight in the life at penthouse with some great stories about what happened there (orgies,goosips about famous people...etc.) she could have a good book worth to read by some people not by me of course.
Again excuse my bad english is not my native language.

Give the woman a break guys, pop-up picture books aren't exactly best-sellers, but they have a solid readership. Oprah might dig. ;)

Oooo... I like pop-up picture books. She should promote that aspect more ;)

Her ghost writer would charge her a little less, at least.
