[Update: And there's more: Belle's missing haiku. Second time, funny.]

One of the things I’m most and least looking forward to when the book comes out is the response from people who are in it.

I’m setting up a section on the site for factual corrections/clarifications (there are bound to be one or two, even though I did my best to fact check everything thoroughly). But I expect the really dull responses will come from people who think I’ve been mean to them.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

I’ve already blogged about Jason Calacanis’ textbook response to my calling him a dick: he emailed me a list of other people to talk to who have even better stories about him. Brilliant.

And now comes an even more brilliant response, not to meanness but to utterly baseless speculation, and not to the book itself but to my cast of characters haiku.

In it, I describe Belle De Jour the anonymous sex-blogger and depends-on-who-you-believe-brilliant-writer-former-call-girl-or-both as follows…

A Blogging call girl

Probably doesn’t look much

Like Billie Piper

And today comes the reply; a haiku from Belle herself (albeit through God only knows how many proxies)…

You are right, Paul Carr

I don’t look like Billie, no,

I have bigger tits

So there you go. Brilliant. Now, go and buy her book.
