On April 29th, Jane Pratt just sold her memoir for more cash than her former protégé, cat Marnell's Book Deal. Marnell's wild tell-all fetched half a million dollars back in 2013, and sources say Pratt topped that number without even sweating. The exact amount, the book dives into Pratt's days at Condé Nast, clashes with big shots like C. Newhouse and Anna Wintour, plus her tight bonds with stars like Courtney Love, Michael Steip, Chloe Sivini, Courtney Cox, and Drew Barrymore. It also gets real about her personal battles. One of the big five publishers grab ya quick. Cat Marnell is all cheers for Pratt, hoping she scores big bucks and even spills some dirt on her. Marnell admits she was a total nightmare employee, showing up messed up from drugs, yelling at staff and swiping magazines. She started as beauty editor at Pratt's exo-Jane site after rising from Pratt's earlier mags. Marnell's own memoir came from her raw stories of addiction on that platform, landing in

a bidding war with Simon and Schuster. She's got a novel coming too, called The Board and the Beautiful, set for Crown next year. Pratt built her legend young, launching the feminist hit sassy at age 24, then Jane magazine under Condé Nast in 1997. Now she's onto another Jane Pratt thing, keeping that signature vibe alive in the game. This has been Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
