Damn typos. But I agree with Lisa, it would be fun to do experiments on celebrities. XD Especially those who have gone under the knife a hundred times. o_o; * oooo I meant “run” not “wrong”.

I would just like to say that this whole thing makes me a bit ill. It is complete bullshit that she would have anything to contribute beyond the association of her celebrity, and it's such a cop-out for that professor to use influence and persuasion in this manner. It might get his book sold, but no one in academia is going to take him seriously after this. What would have been a really cool use of a partnership with a celebrity is to use her in experimental studies to manipulate emotion... I'm sure a lot of social and/or cultural psychologists would kill for that connection, but only in order to somehow manipulate experimental conditions. It would contribute A LOT to our understanding of celebrity/fame and social influence, which is mostly (currently) ascertained through the use of image association. Having a real live celebrity could take that research to the next level. So, a pity on multiple levels. Yeah,

I wouldn't take him seriously if he had to use a celebrity just to get his stuff published. x_X Her name might boost sales, but i bet at least 60% of the buyers won’t understand anything in the book. haha XD
