What's Green and Lit and Hot All Over?
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... it's official.
"What's Your Number?," the movie adaptation of my second book, 20 Times a Lady, has been green lit!
And the hot, hot, hot talented thespian Chris Evans (Fantastic Four, Nanny Diaries) has been cast opposite my favorite girl in the world, Anna Faris! Click here to read the article in Variety. Filming is set to begin in May.

Chris Evans=Hell, yes. He better keep that hot bod in shape 'til May.
I want to scream. Actually, I did last week. I cried, too. It just doesn't seem real. It's weird because I just made it all up, you know? The book, that is. I mean, that's what novelists do—we make shit up, talk to ourselves, play out every possible scenario in our head and out of our head. I mean, I really just walk around and talk to myself all day long. But, in doing that, I wrote a book. And now that book is going to be a movie. And two amazing actors are going to play characters that at one point just existed in my head. That's why it's so weird. So to anyone out there who has a book in their head... write it! It just might be a movie one day.
Okay, back to my real life now.

Very exciting to hear all's a go! Makes me wanna go watch the Nanny Diaries again to check out the scenery... I think you definitely should be able to request a shirt-free moment. It's only fair.

But who's going to play the pooch? Is this a meta-opportunity for Beverly?
CONGRATS!!!! I'm so happy. I remember when I was in NY to visit and you told me all of this and i was so excited for you- but to hear that it's finally green lit makes me so excited for you and Beverly and Elvis. So, tell me, will you and Bev make a cameo in the movie?
I may actually have to start saving so I can come to your premiere and cheer you on! :)

so cool
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I just picked up 20 Times a Lady. I have been meaning to forever and it seems like it was meant to be because now I can read it before the movie comes out. Congrats again!
(and P.S. I think you can stick a knife in the toaster if you unplug it)
Karyn when we worked at Jenny Jones I would see you wandering down the halls by yourself and you'd be having full on conversations with yourself! A lot of people talk to themselves but I typically think they try to hide it in public. Not you my friend!!! Just one of the reasons I love you.
Proud of you and happy for you! Here's to the next novel turned feature.
XOXO
Congratulations! I loved the book so much. That's how I found you and your blog and have been following it daily ever since. :)
Take behind the scenes pic just for us.
Congrats! So exciting, so happy for you!
Congratulations, Karyn!! That is just soooo cool! Beyond cool. I had to re-read that book a few weeks ago. It is so entertaining - I loved the whole story. Cannot wait for the movie!
xoxo
Congrats! I can't wait to see the movie and especially now with Chris Evans. HOT doesn't even begin to describe him!!! Now Bev will have even more reason to put her nose up in the air!
Chris Evans...yum! This is so awesome Karyn! Anna Faris is a PERFECT Delilah!
So happy, proud and excited for you! XOXO
Anna Faris is awesome as is your book - what an incredible opportunity for you! Now, you must have Chicago and Milwaukee (where I live, I know you used to vacation in Lake Geneva) premieres so that your hometown-area friends and fans can see you in all of your glory. Hooray!
I can't wait till I can actually go see it!
WOW! Congrats! Loved the book!
Congratulations! I just read the book last weekend and really enjoyed it.
Yay! Congrats!!
Karyn! GREAT WORK!!!! CONGRATS!! I actually read that first (loved it, but before I finished the last chapter I lost it going through security in London!! So some one there is probably enjoying it a lot!!) and now I'm ready Save Karyn!! It's WONDERFUL!! Thank you for being so human!! You Rock Girl!!
that's AMAZING Karyn! I'm so proud of you!
That's awesome Karyn!!! Congratulations!! Me and my friends will definitely be going to see it!
So exciting! It must seem so surreal! Just take it all in and enjoy every minute of it. Can't wait until it comes out!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! So happy for you (and myself since I loved the book lol)
So dance of joy for everyone :D
