It’s bad enough that a publisher is giving Kylie Minogue money to write a children’s book — specifically, Puffin’s Jane Richardson has bought the rights to THE SHOWGIRL PRINCESS for publication this September — but now word comes in from the wires (via an interview with W magazine) that blonde bombshell Jessica Simpson is working on a book of poetry that she’s been writing since she was 11. “It’s a piece of my heart I want to share with my fans.”

Yes, and remember Jewel’s book of poems? No? Exactly.
