New York magazine's Alex French talks to Mara Reinstein and Joey Bartolomeo, Us Weekly staffers and authors of Brad & Jen: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Golden Couple, due out today:

How did you write so quickly?
M.R.: I still don't know.
J.B.: We looked like we'd been on some bizarre drug binge.
M.R.: Bob Wallace, the head of Wenner Books, said it had to be 40,000 words, which I didn't really understand--all I knew was that an Us Weekly cover story is, like, 1,300 words, so I knew it would be a lot.
J.B.: We had eleven chapters, and the editor said, "You need more." We had to get creative. There was a chapter on the month of December and one on their style.

Also -- we wouldn't mind getting invited to book parties that hand out wallets as party favors.
