Isla Fisher wrote two teen novels when she was just a teen herself(18 to be exact.) I recently found "Seduced by Fame" at a yard sale near my apartment. I read, um, most of it. Some of it? Ok, a few pages. Still, here is my review:
First of all I must say I am very proud of her for writing entire books when she was that young. When I was 18 I think I just masturbated a lot, ate cheeseburgers and watched a crappy VHS copy of "Forrest Gump" over and over. Never at the same time sickos. Lt. Dan was cool but not
that cool. Anyway, this book is more or less a how-to for girls to get over social anxiety disorder and realize that being famous and hot isn't everything. The narrative involves a young girl realizing her dream of becoming an actress and then discovering it aint all sunshine and roses. Well I haven't gotten to that part yet but thats what the back of the book says. Frankly, I want the fully grown Isla to pen a sequel. I'd like to see her take on beauty and fame now that she is, well, beautiful and famous.
So far, I guess it's a page turner(I've turned about seven.) If you are a sicko and have an Isla Fisher shrine in your bedroom, then this would make a pretty good addition. Otherwise, wait for the new Harry Potter.
Get pumped! In just two weeks Isla Fisher will be gracing the silver screen yet again. This time, with that SNL dude Andy Samberg. You know, the Chronicles of Narnia rap guy. He kind of reminds me of this one kid I knew in high school who would always be joking around. Constantly doing impressions and telling jokes. I guess it was kind of funny but after awhile everyone just laughed because they didn't want to hurt his feelings. Eventually, it got pretty awkward. Ahh high school.
Anyway, the film is called "Hot Rod" and looks like a silly dumb comedy in the vein of "Talladega Nights". Will Arnett from Arrested Development is also in it so how bad can it be? And let us not forget our dear Mrs. Soon to be Borat. She looks stunning in this flick. Perfect combination of girl next door and the perfect hottie that we all know she is. Well, I'll be there opening weekend because I live to see Isla blown up to gigantic sizes. It opens August 3rd.
