Lauren Conrad Aiming for a Pulitzer?

Lauren Conrad, reality TV star.  Lauren Conrad, fashion designer.  Lauren Conrad, celebrity maker.  Lauren Conrad.... author?

In an announcement that ranks right up there with Heidi Montag thinking she'll have a legitimate career as a singer, Lauren Conrad has signed a three-book deal with Harper Collins.  The famous-for-no-discernable reason megastar is going to "pen" three young adult books in a series called "LA Candy" that will be loosely based on Conrad's experiences since becoming the real life version of "The Truman Show."

Considering that Conrad and friends have a rough time stringing together enough sentences to fill out full episodes of "The Hills" with dialogue, I'm betting Conrad might have a little help in the writing arena.  Or perhaps, as with her fashion line, she'll be hands on in supervising while people who deserve the credit do the hard stuff.... Not that I'm bitter about it or anything.
