Blind Item!- the book publishing Jada’s book is losing millions of dollars because presales are so low

Maybe people are waiting for it to actually hit shelves to buy it?

“ This three named actress/host has a book being released and the publisher, in a memo said they won't ever recoup the advance they paid. The advance sales are incredibly low.”

Publishers highly overestimate the interest real people have in celebs. And if we want to know anything about a particular star, we just visit their social media. This garbage should have been self-published by Pinkett and sold on Amazon. Heads will roll over this horrendous decision.

by Anonymousreply 22October 12, 2023 8:41 PM

I’ve always thought she wasn’t very honest with herself, making up elaborate justifications for her worst impulses. It’s like, your marriage is over, honey. You’re not special. In fact, it seems kind of obvious that she’s prolonged her ties to Smith for her own professional gain. Because without him, she’s nothing.

I was just going to say, r14. Hasn't she already been autobiographical and embarrassingly self-revealing in her Red Table (or whatever it's called) series? Every time I saw a discussion or reference to it here, it sounded so tiresome. I imagine the only people interested are hip hop fans who are interested in her Tupac phase.

That's an excellent way to describe her R31. Tiresome. Sucks the life out of everyone like a vampire. Once everybody realized what kind of person she was - the only reason she's been tolerated thus far is because she's Smith's spouse. But the marriage seems to be over and most people are over both of them. I used to really like them both too.

Will Smith ruined his career for a woman he'd been separated from for six years, who spoke openly about cuxking him, and now she twists the knife as publicly as possible. What on earth does she have on him? I'll tell you one thing he probably doesn't have: a prenup.

Jada made a name for herself in Hollywood during the Hollywood So White movement. Also being the wife of a blockbuster box office movie star. She became "important" in Hollywood and terribly important in her own mind. But she never had any importance anywhere else, AND the two of them ruined their Hollywood status as well. She has't assimilated her utter insignificance.

by Anonymousreply 88October 28, 2023 2:03 AM

it actually makes sense why a publisher would be interested in this book. There is enormous interest in the Smith's and they know that because the articles with revelations about them get clicks. The problem is that she's spent years now dribbling all this stuff out and getting clicks so by the time an actual book made it to market, nobody gave a shit anymore. It wasn't crazy of a publisher to give her a rich deal a few years ago--but to think there's any audience whatsoever for this book at this point is crazy.
