RUMOR CONTROL
So there have been a lot of rumors flying around about me lately, and I would like to take this opportunity to correct them here and now. Rumor #1:Is it true Drake Bell is going to star as David in the movie of “All-American Girl”? Answer:No, because there is not going to be a movie […]
Oops
Oops. Saturday's chat is at 4PM, not 5PM. Sorry. More later. Much love, Meg
CATCHING UP
Good Lord, so much has been happening, I don't know how we'll ever catch up. I guess we should just start at the beginning: First off, a moment of silence please for Chris Penn, of FOOTLOOSE fame. As you know, he died. He was brothers with Sean and Michael Penn. Michael is married to Aimee […]
THE GOOD DOCTOR

Dr. Michele Jaffe will now be hosting an Advice Column on her newly updated website, www.michelejaffe.com, where she will be dishing out daily (or at least almost daily) pieces of wisdom while answering your many, many letters requesting advice. In fact, answers to some of your letters to us may […]
THE POUNDIES
Hello, and welcome to the first annual Poundies Award Ceremony. I know what a lot of you are wondering…what are the Poundies? Let me explain: The Poundies are special awards given out to the various factors that contributed to the twelve pounds I, Meg Cabot, have gained in the twelve months since the last time […]
RADIO TOUR
Often, when you have a new book (or two) out….. …your publisher asks you to do a radio tour, because you can hit tons of markets without even leaving your house. Which rocks for the publisher, because they don't have to pay to send you out on the road. And it rocks for the author, […]
PINKY
Regular blog readers may remember months ago when I reported that my pink bike was stolen, presumed gone forever. Not so, friends. I saw a bike that looked suspiciously like Pinky locked up on the street, and when I checked the serial number (by lying on the sidewalk and sticking my head under her pedals, […]
YOU’VE BEEN WARNED
The reviews are in for my art show: My mom: “I laughed so hard, I peed my pants.” My aunt: “I was never aware until now what an integral part saliva played in the creative process.” My brother: “You got SKILLS, just like Napoleon Dynamite.” Thank you to everyone who wrote to say they enjoyed […]
WHY I FLUNKED FRESHMAN ALGEBRA
Technically, I didn't just flunk freshman Algebra. I flunked it twice. I then went on to withdraw from Advanced Algebra before I could actually flunk it. I got a D in Geometry. I barely squeaked by Chemistry with a C (which I only got because I blew off all of my extracurriculars—drama—and went to every […]
ART SHOW
Yes!!!! It's The First Official Meg Cabot Art Show!!!! All art 100% by Meg Cabot!!!! As some of you might know, when I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up, but failing that (which I did, by getting a 410—out of 800–on my Math SATs), I wanted to be an […]
NOT TELLING
Oh my God, you guys, I am NOT going to tell you which bestseller it was that I read and didn't like. You can email me as much as you want, begging, but I won't post the title, because I get sent to a lot of book festivals/author events where I could potentially run into […]
BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS
There is so much book-related news today that I don't even know where to begin. First of all AVALON HIGH debuted at #3 on the New York Times Children's Chapter Book Bestseller List! So thanks, everybody! SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT didn't make any lists, but it's selling really well, despite the fact that ENTERTAINMENT […]
THE DOCTOR IS IN
Okay, so I know I said no new advice blogs for a while since Dr. Jaffe has been very busy lately writing the sequel to her soon-to-be-published book Bad Kitty, but we broke down and did one anyway because, let's face it: you begged. So here, without further ado, is the first official Advice Blog […]
WHAT I WATCHED ON MY CHRISTMAS VACATION
Although technically I didn't really have a vacation–because I was busy writing SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT 2, also known as PHAT CHICK (and, no, sorry, I can't tell you whether or not Cooper and Heather get together in it)–I did get in some excellent (and not so excellent) movie/television viewing over the holidays. You […]
TAKIN’ RISKS IN 06
Hello, and Happy New Year! Did any of you watch the drag queen drop in Key West on New Year's Eve? I did. Last year I actually went down the street to see it live, but this year I wasn't in the mood to battle the crowd, so I watched it on CNN. Sushi, Key […]
