FREY UPDATE
ABC reports:
James Frey, whose best-selling memoir about substance abuse, "A Million Little Pieces," has come under intense scrutiny for alleged fabrications, has agreed to give his first interview since the controversy broke a few days ago.
He will appear Wednesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live."
To get us in the mood for tomorrow's interview, here's part of a transcript of an interview King recently did with the author of another privilege-debauchery-salvation memoir (this one legit), Christopher Lawford Kennedy:
LAWFORD: Yes, I had such an amazing time doing this. I would recommend -- Emerson said that all of us have one great book in us and I'm not sure this is great but I -- it was a joy to do.
KING: The "New York Post" reported that your stepmother, your father's wife when he passed away, is very angry at this book. Is that your knowledge as well?
LAWFORD: Which stepmother would that be?
KING: Patricia Seton Lawford Stewart.
LAWFORD: Oh, right. Well my -- you know at the end of his life...
KING: How many stepmothers do you have?
LAWFORD: There were -- there were three I think. My mom -- my dad married three other women besides my mother, Mary Rowen who was a wonderful woman and another woman named Debbie who I liked.
At the end of my father's life he was so debilitated that, you know, he -- he was forced to do some things that probably he wouldn't have done if he had been healthy.
KING: Like?
LAWFORD: Like get married.
