“What you are about to read is our no-fail, no-nonsense (well, some would say it’s ALL-nonsense) insider’s guide to take you from nobody to notorious.”
The introduction of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt’s book (yes, they wrote a book) How To Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture pretty much sums up the tone of their book. Speidi let you know that they are completely aware and make no apologies for being self-absorbed, self-serving and self centered — making their new “how-to” tolerable, and at times, amusing.
Heidi and Spencer present a 10-step plan on how to go from nobodies to notorious , the way they claim they did it themselves. They never mention names of the show they are on or their enemies due to “you know, legal stuff,” but it’s easy to figure out who they mean.
The “top-secret” book is laid out in 10 chapters written by Spencer, Heidi or Speidi the entity. There are plenty of black and white paparazzi pics of the pair sprinkled throughout as well as a collection of colored photos in the middle. The book is only 128 pages long and can easily be read in a few hours — one thing you can thank Speidi for!
Spencer shares a “Guide to Playing the Villain” and acknowledges that, “Given how the general public feels about me, the chances are that if you’re reading this right now, you can’t stand me. I get it. If I weren’t me, I’d HATE me.”
Heidi explains why “Getting Work Done Is Your Job” and details which procedures you should have done if you want to be famous. “There is no surgery you can get that will get you more instant attention, and you know why? Because people are ALREADY staring at your boobs!” she writes.
Each chapter include pictures that act out —really putting their Hills skills to the test — what they are talking about. For example, Heidi gives readers step-by-step picture instructions on “How to Say ‘I Hate You’ Without Saying a Word” in her “Guide to Playing the Bombshell” chapter.
The most refreshing thing about this book is that it can be read (and probably should be read) as a joke. They acknowledge that they are ridiculous and that celebrity culture in general is ridiculous.
It might have been better if they had just written a book about their side of the story, because it’s hard — okay, impossible — to take their advice on “how to be famous” seriously.
However, they do make some good points: Paparazzi should be a celeb’s friend because after all they do help their career; celebs shouldn’t wear sunglasses if they want to make covers and they should share their stories if they want to build their brand.
If their goal for the book is to entertain people (and charge $19.99 a book) by mocking themselves and other celebrities, then this book is a resounding success.
How To Be Famous is available everywhere Nov. 16.

I am going out to get your book tomorrow and maybe just maybe I will find my FAME…
I see that I need to expose more to the press… I need to be my own talent production agent or find one that will explode & expose my entire life! :O)
I enjoy being a blond bomb shell in one leg of my pants instead of being an old bon bon queen watching the negative world take over my life! (Now that is positive - I listened to enough negative all my life - NOW I spread JOY to people that have hope just like I did)
Myself from 327 pounds to 125 pounds entering a figure show to now 4 years later keeping my weight off and full of love, passion and desire to have my own TV Reality Show for over the top weight loss for life long success…
I am a “Master Weight Loss Make-Over Specialist” that deserves my own TV show…
I need some fun, ridiculous pointers; Yes I too desire to be famous!!!… I love your attitude and I too am accused of being self absorbed… It has to be about me to succeed!
JEEZE, for what I have been through (I like to say from FAT 2 PHAT) I used to be the stay home bon bon queen watching fitness on TV to now keeping my weight off for over 4 years and love my WOW JOB of being my own best friend! I do know that I am the most important person and will never let myself down! I have to be ok to help others! That is NOT being selfish… I call that a Positive Attitude!
I have huge desires to spread my life story (the good and the bad) to let people know I am human and deal with everyday issues just like the rest. I just took control on my own life because I needed it for me!
I know that I am number one for a simple reason!
IT IS ALL ABOUT ME… WHY? So I can help the world become a ‘healthier” place in a fun, uncontrollable way!!! WHOO HOO - I like to say if it’s “NOT” fun then “WHY” do it!
I get accused of me not being me… GIVE ME a DNA.
There is no airbrush. I am 100% me!!!
Don’t let me SCARE you… Please don’t HATE… I am here to HELP!
People take life way too serious and believe way too much negative stuff in the world…
Let loose and live a little on the wild side - DREAM!
So people “JUDGE ME”? Oh YEA!!!!
Why? Because I did something so many people said I would not keep once I got there!
From 327 pounds to 125 entering a figure show - who would of thought I would do that?
I enjoy my life, I enjoy my kids and I love being a wife now!
