At Long Last, Beth Ostrosky to Pen Book for Dog Lovers

136683 Beth Ostrosky—or Beth Ostrosky Stern, as she'd like to be known these days—has sealed a deal to write a book about dogs, according to Publishers Marketplace: "Animal-rights activist (and wife of Howard Stern) Beth Ostrosky Stern's user-friendly guide for anyone who owns a dog, covering everything from tips for doggie dental hygiene, diet, health, and etiquette to planning the perfect party for your pooch, to Jennifer Bergstrom at Simon Spotlight Entertainment, with Emily Westlake editing, for publication in Spring 2010, by Richard Basch at Don Buchwald Agency (world)." Presumably she shared the section on "doggie dental hygiene" with the owner of this particular pooch before going in for the photo op. [Publishers Lunch, sub req]

"At Long Last..."??? What, exactly, are this woman's credentials for "writing" such a book? She and Howard Stern own a purebred English bulldog (but she insists that the rest of us should adopt from shelters) who was taken away and trained for nine months by a professional dog trainer. Then and only then did they allow the dog into her penthouse apartment. They pay a veterinarian to "come out to the house" when the dog even poops strangely. "Planning the perfect party for your pooch"? Uh huh. Well, I guess there's no recession in the Hamptons and this sounds perfectly reasonable to the vain, vapid and narcissistic crowd there. But good luck selling this to regular human beings. Jesus.
