On last night's Real Housewives, LuAnn and her ghostwriter worked on Class With the Countess. Topics covered: Mortification at the prospect of paying for your own dinner, and how many cheeks should be kissed.

I love that lil' LuLu didn't even bother having a pen or reading from notes as she dictated copy into her writer's — Diane Reverand — tape recorder. A Google and Amazon search has informed me that Diane is something of a bigwig in publishing. She's ghostwritten like 50,000,000,000 books and edited and published a bunch more, like the bestseller Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, as well as books for Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Class With the Countess hits bookstores tomorrow, btw.
