Carrie Fisher blogs!

Although I suspect it might just be a stunt to sell some books.

Not that it matters. Carrie is pretty cool, and she has some
surprising insights into Hollywood. And by insights I mean looks
inside. Like looks inside private parties featuring the ridiculously famous, and the famously ridiculous.

Carrie Fisher

How many people can blog about spending christmas at Michael
Jacksons place. Okay, the first question should probably be how many
would want to, but still...

Or, imagine having a party where the surprise guest of the evening is
Mick Jagger. The surprise being that he was invited AND he actually
showed up. Unlike Paris Hilton, who wasn't invited but did show up. No
one would admit to having brought her along though.

See where I am going with this?

Ms. Fisher, who was guaranteed an audience thanks to multitudes of 40
something fanboys who still buy posters of her Princess days, has
actually managed to put together a very entertaining blog full of bits
and pieces that make the rich and famous seem human. It's also
entertaining. It might even help sell her book.
