This is the cover of a Serbian biology text book. (At least according to Buzzfeed. I don't know any Serbian. If it's not Serbian, please don't send me angry emails). The cover illustration is very interesting.

TMZ reports that parents are super-angry after finding out that Sasha Grey was invited to read for the kids at an elementary school.
"TMZ has obtained photos of Sasha reading children's books at Emerson Elementary School in Compton on November 2nd ... participating in the Read Across America program. Grey, who hasn't done porn in 2 years, may have been invited because she's mainstream now, with credits which include "Entourage." Sasha tweeted about the experience - calling the students the "sweetest" ever. However, not everyone saw it that way ... some angry parents complained to the PTA - who then contacted the school's principal ... but there's one problem. A rep for the school district is flatly denying Sasha was ever inside one of its classrooms - telling TMZ, "We have several celebrities who read to our students each year. The actress you have indicated [Sasha] was not present. Clearly, the photos we obtained show otherwise.""
This story raises a number of questions: 1) How did these morally upstanding parents know who Sasha Grey is? 2) How did these morally upstanding parents know who Sasha Grey is? 3) How did these morally upstanding parents know who Sasha Grey is? 4) How did these morally upstanding parents know who Sasha Grey is? 5) How did these morally upstanding parents know who Sasha Grey is?
That's nice. It's good to have something to do while your daughter is in court and/or jail and/or cleaning at the morgue and/or losing her teeth. You shouldn't sit around pondering where you might have gone wrong. Instead you should totally use your daughter's dwindling fame to make that last paycheck before she disappears off into obscurity. What I don't understand is why no publisher has snapped up this book. It's going to be a masterpiece. Bonus: This news assures us that Lindsay's dad will have something profound and insightful to say today. Unless, of course, he's swept up in The Rapture and doesn't have the time to call radaronline before he goes. TMZ has this:
"Lindsay Lohan's mom is trying to expose her own daughter's dark secrets, blowing the lid off of Lindsay's alleged drug and alcohol use in a memoir that she's shopping around town - shopping it as recently as 2 weeks ago - as Lindsay was looking down the barrel of a hostile judge and a jail sentence. TMZ has obtained the draft of a prologue for Dina Lohan's memoir, which Dina's rep is shopping to people in the literary world. In the prologue, Dina writes: "I blamed her friends, her career and her handlers for an (sic) newfound lifestyle of partying excessively. Drinking, drugging and behaving irresponsibly became Lindsay's way of daily living - and it tore me up inside. Not as much as it tore me up that I couldn't afford those new shoes and that new handbag and those new hair extentions. My best earner just hadn't been producing lately. Where had everybody but I gone wrong? It kept me up at night." Dina explains why she moved Lindsay from New York to L.A. at such a young age: "How could I deny my daughter the chance of a lifetime? How could I hold Lindsay back from her dream of becoming an actress? So, I listened to others and sent my daughter to Hollywood with a few pieces of luggage and a chaperone." This is very good, Dina. The constant passing of blame is elegantly and effortlessly woven into the narrative and the helplessness when faced by a petulant teenager is a moving bit of insight. Because, yes, how could a parent possibly stop a child from moving across the country? A conumdrum for the ages, if I ever heard of one. When Lindsay began acting crazy, accumulating mugshots and what not, Dina says she was helpless, claiming she couldn't demand that Lindsay return to New York. Dina also confesses she was conflicted since she was both Lindsay's parent and manager. On one hand: money. On the other: the health and sanity of your offspring. Not really much of a choice is it? We'd all go for the money, so don't feel bad. Dina and her rep were soliciting meetings via email two weeks ago, to brainstorm how to make her book "a best seller." Our sources say a ghost writer actually wrote the prologue after long sit-downs with Dina and her rep, and both were solidly on board. As far as we know ... so far, no takers."
You know how I loves me some Awkward Family Photos. So, I'm looking forward to the Awkward Family Pet Photos book, which will be out Nov. 1. Here are some pictures from the website to whet the appetite of you and your ill-at-ease pets:
This summer NPR, with the help of some 60,000 people compiled a list of the 100 greatest sci-fi and fantasy books ever. And now it's been made into the most magnificent flowchart in the history of all flowcharts by a designer at SF Signal. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. And now I want to read Sunshine again. And The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. Oh, and I forgot that I have The Name of the Wind sitting all pristine and unread at home. But nothing by Heinlein. I just can't with him. Reading Stranger in a Strange Land was not entertaining. Never again. Click to enlarge.
If there's one thing children's books are good for, it's explaining those difficult things that may happen in life.

Bill Hudson is the newest graduate from the Michael Lohan School of Douchey Fatherhood and has written a tell-all book about his children and former wife, Goldie Hawn. The book is called 2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family. Although, when you click on the Amazon link from Hudson's website (which looks like it was brand-new in 1998), you're taken to a page for a book called So You Are A Star. I'm not entirely sure what's going on there, but the books look equally cheap and bitter, so whatevs.
Radaronline has this:
"Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson are about to be exposed by someone who was once very close to them. Goldie's ex-husband and father of Kate, Bill Hudson, has written a tell-all that will be released this fall and RadarOnline.com has obtained the cover of the book titled 2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family. Bill, 61, married Goldie in 1976 and the couple had Kate and brother Oliver Hudson together before divorcing in 1980, and the children were ultimately raised by Goldie's life partner, Kurt Russell, who she met shortly after her relationship with Bill ended. Reports surfaced earlier this year that Bill was shopping his tell-all book After seeing his promising venture into stealing copper wire fail, it was his only option for making money, and RadarOnline.com has learned pre-orders are already being taken online and it will hit stands on November 1, 2011. "Life in the spotlight is not without its consequences, and the Hudson family was no exception," the book's website touts. "While enjoying success as a part of the 1970s musical group The Hudson Brothers, Bill Hudson fell in love and married actress Goldie Hawn. "After their divorce, Bill found himself in the middle of the controversial issue of parental alienation. His rights as a father to see his children were often played out in the media because Oliver and Kate became actors themselves." Devastating secrets and salacious details of both Goldie and Kate's lives are expected to be revealed. As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Bill accused Kate of not visiting or calling her dying grandma, who is battling Alzheimer's disease. "Kate doesn't have to talk to me and she doesn't have to give her a dime of her millions. All I want is for her to call and say, 'Hi grandma', before it's too late," Bill said. "I love Kate, but... She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother." Along with Goldie, Bill also had a marriage to Laverne & Shirley star Cindy Williams, and promises to dish on stories about her as well. Because why stick to making money off one really old relationship, when you can exploit two? That would be like ignoring the benefits of double-coupon day. "Now Bill is ready to share his fascinating Hollywood stories of life as a teen idol and husband to two famous women, Goldie Hawn and Cindy Williams," the book's site says. "His book also talks about how parents can often become alienated from their children when they don't have primary custody. Or when they're vindictive losers. You know. Either one. Hopefully, at some point, this family will be able to have a healthy adult relationship before it's too late."
Let's have a look at the Hudson Brothers, shall we:
Malene’s interests and hobbies include Schadenfreude, sci-fi and fantasy (good and bad alike), hilarious hair pieces, age-inappropriate celebrity crushes, messed-up starlets, waiting for the next Star Trek movie, hating Björk, creative profanity, disobedient robots, fake celebrity relationships, post-apocalyptic dread, singing super-villains, baseball, David Beckham (but only when he keeps his mouth shut), vampires and knitting tiny sweaters for her seven cats. That’s not true. Maybe.
