Bai Ling Becomes an Author

Posted on April 3, 2006

Actress and reality TV star Bai Ling has announced that she is now going to be an author. She's going to pen a tell-all book about her time performing for the Red Army in Tibet. She is also doing a reality shows for VH1.

Ling told The Hindu, "Right now, I am writing a book about my experience in Tibet as a soldier. I started when I was 14, singing and dancing and playing instruments."

She is also quoted as saying, "Pillow talk really forces you to learn. It makes you want to talk. I am still learning. Sometimes I don't understand everything, only the general idea."

She also had practice writing "apology" letters; "I feel like my whole life I have been writing apology letters, to my school teachers, to my army leaders, to my country. So I don't apologize that I had the opportunity to be the first Asian woman on the cover of Playboy magazine. They already had the image of me as a sex symbol."

That certainly qualifies her to be an author, so at least we've cleared that up. At least it will be an exciting book tour, no doubt jam-packed with paparazzi, R-rated wardrobe malfunctions and who knows what else. And if you can't remember who Bai Ling is, perhaps this will help jog your memory. She even has her own category on GoFugYourself, which commemorates her extraordinary and unique ideas about appropriate attire.
