RICHIE: Yes.

SEACREST: But now I've been reading some of it and it seems very much like your real life in Hollywood and your life with some of your friends or some of your enemies in Hollywood. How much of it is autobiographical?

RICHIE: Well, when I spoke to my dad because he's a writer and I really wanted to know what to write about he said "You have to write about what you know and your experiences," so that's what I did and I just made it a lot more exciting.

SEACREST: There's a character in the book, Chloe. Chloe is (1) by a music superstar. Chloe enjoys a (2) wild child like life growing up, gets into drugs, gets into rehab.

RICHIE: Yes.

SEACREST: Co-stars in a reality series.

RICHIE: Actually it's a makeup (3).

SEACREST: This sounds like -- OK.

RICHIE: Not a reality series.

SEACREST: This sounds like Nicole Richie.

RICHIE: Well, Chloe the character is loosely based on myself but no other characters are based on anybody else.

SEACREST: No other characters at all?

RICHIE: No.

SEACREST: Tell me about Simone, the character in the book.

RICHIE: Simone is the person that she gets to campaign with and Simone really (4) just all of the people that I have kind of pushed out of my life after I got out of rehab and kind of decided to really become an adult, you know. You just kind of press the delete button on people that are not good for you.

SEACREST: Simone, wouldn't you agree, has some things in common with Paris Hilton?

RICHIE: Yes, she does.

SEACREST: Like what?

RICHIE: She is tall and she had lost a (5) device. She lost a cell phone but Paris lost a (6).

SEACREST: And Paris lost this device and stars' numbers were released on the Internet. It was a big deal right?

RICHIE: Right, right.

SEACREST: I mean that is exactly what happened in her life and it's in the book.

RICHIE: Yes.

SEACREST: What else?

RICHIE: I think that that's pretty much it.

SEACREST: Do you or does Chloe get along with Simone in the book?

RICHIE: No.

SEACREST: Why not?

RICHIE: They don't. They're just two completely separate people. They're just -- they're just really not the same people. They were more friends when Chloe kind of wasn't in her right head space.

SEACREST: You know when I'm reading it what I'm doing as I'm looking at these pages is wondering which part is real.

RICHIE: Right.

SEACREST: And which part isn't. Was that the idea to keep us guessing?

（RICHIE: Yes, that's what makes it more fun.）
