Tan Lines
Culture Buzz "There are 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris and this son of a bitch couldn't find one of them." Did your ears perk up? The publicists behind J.J. Salem's Tan Lines sure hope so. They even put together a video of a bunch of randoms reading the line out loud, because nothing is funnier than realizing that most people are barely literate.

Charlotte Roche
Culture Buzz German writer/TV personality's first book -- an intimate look at women's hygiene and sexuality -- is causing a stir. Roche's Feuchtgebiete (wetlands) is a best seller and source of controversy in Germany, starting a national conversation about the way women are viewed and view themselves. Roche is already a star there for her nightly talkshow, in which sex was always a big topic.

Judy Blume
Culture Buzz The queen of YA fiction is celebrated by devoted fans as she hits 70. Hey, not every prepubescent boy read Matt Christopher. Even if they didn't necessarily understand what Margaret was talking about, some little boys found Blume's blunt, descriptive language undeniably intriguing. We're just sayin', okay?

The Original Of Laura
Culture Buzz Dmitri Nabokov, son of Vladimir, has decided to publish The Original of Laura, the novel his dying father commanded be destroyed.

The Source
Culture Buzz Between a new book about them and the recent reunion of their band Yo Ho Wa 13, the 1970s Los Angeles-based cult The Source is getting a lot of attention. The Source, led by Jim Baker aka Father Yod, was a pioneer in the organic food movement. Their restaurant on Sunset Boulevard was a hot spot for celebrities like Warren Beatty, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and was the location for that scene in Annie Hall where Woody orders "the alfalfa sprouts and a plate of mashed yeast" from the white-robed waitress.

Sloane Crosley
Culture Buzz New York City's most popular publicist's first book, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, is receiving lots of attention and the requisite amount of backlash. She's been praised by some big names and has become fodder for the snark mongers. We're pretty impressed by the detailed dioramas she made to accompany her stories on her website.

Cheer!
Sports Buzz A book by former Jane contributor Kate Torgovnick that follows three elite college cheerleading teams for a grueling competition season. It explores the dark side of cheerleading that never gets touched upon in Bring It On. We could see it having the Friday Night Lights effect - riveting even if you don't really care about cheerleading or sports in general.
