At times New York City—regardless of it's 8 million inhabitants— can seem weirdly incestuous.
Like the time you begrudgingly get drinks with a co-worker you barely know, and find out the two of you have shared saliva and bodily fluids with the same guy. Or when you spill some of your beer on a random person at a concert and discover you used to sit in the same cube only a few months apart.
You know, any weird coincidence you'd expect in Anacoco, Louisiana but not Manhattan.
Anyway, I got the same chilled out New-York-isn't-far-enough-away-I-should-move-to-Prague, feeling when I found out media whipping girl Rielle Hunter made her slutbag presence in two of my favorite novels, Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho and Glamorama.
Yes, that's right. John Edwards maybe baby mama was the inspiration for Ellis's Alison Poole— who in both novels is a drugged out, sort of hot depending on the light, party girl.
Her ex-boyfriend Jay McInerney told "Page Six" her behavior when they dated "intrigued and appalled" him so much that he based his novel Story of My Life on her.
Thankfully, Bret Easton Ellis is gayer than a pink poodle so chances of any failed romance between he and Hunter is slim, but that didn't stop her from becoming a triple threat.
She's got books, newspapers, movies (she played some bimbo girlfriend in 1987's Overboard), writers and politicians under her ho belt. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what she's got planned next.
