Joy Behar of The View has landed a new book deal, according to Cindy Adams.
Joy Behar got herself a publisher, Crown, an agent, Bill Adler, and a book idea, "When You Need a Little Lift . . . By Joy Behar and Friends." She's asking celebrity friends to share whatever picks them up when they're in the dumps because, as her letter says, "Even Richard Simmons is sometimes down." So far contributors include James Earl Jones, LeAnn Rimes and D. Trump.
We actually like the idea of a book where successful celebs share their secrets for battling the blues. Although we're having a hard time picturing The Donald diving into a pint of Haagen-Dazs Swiss Vanilla Almond when the real estate market slumps. We think he buys more hair products or finds a newer, younger wife to cheer himself up.
