The Problem With Nan Talese
If we seem a little groggy this morning, forgive us — we didn't sleep much at all last night, kept awake by the questions running through our head: Did Oprah go too far yesterday with her hard-ass questioning and truth-and-redemption shtick? Is Frey a pathological liar, or just some dude who fucked up? How much is the publishing industry to blame? If it hadn t been a Book Club book, would this be such a big deal? Can a book s worth exist independent of the author s intent? And how did they get all those little sprinkles to stick on that guy s hand?
But of all the issues floating around our dizzy little heads, there was one in particular that we kept bugging us: What s up with Nan Talese s teeth?
Then it hit us. From yesterday s Page Six:
Could mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer be behind the rash of huge white horse-teeth Hollywood's male stars are sporting these days? When Bruckheimer wants to work with a movie hunk, he insists they "look like a star," one insider giggled, "so they all have to go out and get what we call 'Chompers' - caps on their teeth. They all get their teeth whittled down and these big white gleaming caps on."
Now it all makes sense. Maybe if Talese weren't too busy filming Pirates of the Caribbean 3, this never would've happened.
