Author Tells Why He Passed On Britney Bio

Author Neil Strauss just wants to help people—and sell books. His best-seller “The Game” gave geeky guys everything they needed to know to date hot chicks. Strauss’ new tome ”Emergency” is a guide to surviving terrorism and natural disasters.

While promoting his new book, Strauss talked to the NY Daily News and recalled his former days as a journalist for Rolling Stone and The New York Times, which led to an encounter with a star who’s certainly no stranger to disasters. 

“When I wrote ‘The Game,’ I included a story of how I picked up Britney during an interview. Right after the book came out, Britney called me and asked to meet.”

Strauss drove to Spears’ Malibu home to find the singer holding a crumpled-up sheet of paper containing “notes from her life, about cheating on Justin Timberlake, about resenting her parents’ control and about sexually acting out. She wanted me to write her life story. I knew the book would be incredible.”

But alas, it wasn’t to be. Strauss abandoned the project after Britney’s camp began fighting over control. Too bad—he might have been just the right guy for the job.
