Will Jennie find Telly in time, and if she does, will she care enough to prevent this toxic encounter...
...solemnity of a Gulf War update. Then, hordes of reporters were panting for the full skinny; now she can't give it away. Her original tale commanded big money from a tabloid, and Penthouse paid well for Gennifer unclothed. But she waited a bit too long to hawk her memoir; mainstream publishers passed on her book proposal, and she was relegated to a small California publisher, Emery Dalton Books. And despite a 19-city promotional tour and wide distribution, the 100,000-copy first printing is headed for the $4.98 table. As of Friday, her book had not even broken...
