Militant Book Signings

Lauren Conrad's Tribeca Promo Event Was Very By-the-Book

For the Lauren Conrad book signing in Tribeca Barnes & Noble, the starlet had quite a few rules for fans to abide by. Apparently Lauren Conrad informed the staff that she would not take pictures, personalize the book or even read from it.

According to reports, a staffer with a bullhorn even told the thousand fans who had come out that there were police on hand to enforce the rules set forth by Lauren Conrad.

While this may sound much, I don’t blame Lauren Conrad. Book signings get out of hand, especially when they're for celebrities as famous as she is.
