So 5 Minutes Ago - Softcover

10 Simple Rules of Hollywood

Never take any call you can return.
Never expect stars to be your friends.
When in doubt, stay in the closet.
Lie about your prescription drug intake. Everyone does.
Never eat if you can avoid it.
Hollywood is all about numbers, no matter what you've heard.
Hollywood is all about rumors, just like you've heard.
Boys rule.
Girls never rule.
And they hardly ever win.

...Except now.
