Pippa
Middleton
In the November 24, 2012 article "Pippa Middleton's Book Isn't Doing So Well And Probably Because Of The Butt-Less Cover" the Judiciary Report stated of Pippa Middleton, sister-in-law to Prince William, "But considering what Pippa is famous for, it should have been a butt (bum). Had she kept it real and put a photo of her butt on the cover, sales would have been different. However, that would have been crass. The problem with the book is it is not that unusual and overly simplistic."
Apparently Middleton read the
aforementioned on Twitter, as yesterday in a guest spot at the
Spectator newspaper, Pippa Middleton stated, "Maybe I should write a sequel and
call it Bottoms Up. Now that could be a bestseller...I have been much teased for
my book...Lots of journalists are saying that my advice is glaringly obvious. A
spoof Twitter account called @pippatips offers such pearls as “enjoy a glass of
water by getting a clean glass and pouring in water from a tap or bottle."
Hate to state
it (no I don't) I told you so. But please, no butt books. The Queen would
seriously frown upon that, big time, but on a related note, Prince Harry would
probably buy up most of the copies.

My next book? It's going to be called Bottoms Up, says Pippa:
Kate's sister discovers a cheeky sense of humour

19:09 EST, 11 December 2012 | UPDATED: 08:30 EST, 12 December 2012 - The Duchess
of Cambridge's sister pokes fun at herself in a guest column for The Spectator.
She admits her literary attempt at a party planning book was regarded as full of
blindingly obvious tips. In a guest diary column for the Spectator, Pippa shows
that she has a rather lively sense of humour. As most authors would confirm,
you’re only as good as your last book. Which is probably why Pippa Middleton has
been thinking hard about what she writes next.
The Duchess of
Cambridge’s sister, known as much for her shapely derriere as her royal
connections, says she has already come up with the perfect follow-up to her book
Celebrate! ‘Maybe I should write a sequel and call it Bottoms Up,’ she says in
this week’s edition of The Spectator. ‘Now that could be a bestseller.’
In a guest
diary column for the magazine, Pippa shows that as well as the shiny smile and
glossy mane of a Middleton, she also has a rather lively sense of humour. She
acknowledges that her party-planning book, which she produced in a £400,000
publishing deal, has been widely derided as a bible of the blindingly obvious.
Pippa, 29,
seems to know about all the jokes. And she has a few of her own to add. ‘I have
been much teased for my book,’ she begins in the Spectator column. ‘Lots of
journalists are saying that my advice is glaringly obvious. A spoof Twitter
account called @pippatips offers such pearls as “'enjoy a glass of water by
getting a clean glass and pouring in water from a tap or bottle'."
She admits the
criticism is all good fun but points out that writing a guide means you have to
cover the basics. Pippa Middleton chooses a Cadbury-coloured dress to launch her
entertaining guide in Holland as UK booksellers slash the price by 75% to drum
up demand.
‘If I were to
write a cookery book, for instance, I would be compelled to say that, to make an
omelette, you have to break at least one egg. Actually, that’s not a bad idea.
Or maybe I should write a sequel and call it Bottoms Up? Now that could be a
bestseller.’
