WHY???

I found this story in my People Magazine news page today:

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20224871,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines

Headline is "Lauren Conrad Inks a Three Book Deal"

To quote from the article:
"Conrad, 22, has signed on to write a three-book series of young adult fiction for HarperCollins, the publisher tells PEOPLE. The books – the first of which is scheduled to hit shelves in the summer of 2009 – will be loosely inspired by Conrad's own experience going from an ordinary teen to a reality TV star. "

UGH is all I have to say about that.
