NYT book reviewer Michiko Kakutani has a sense of humor. (Who knew?) She reviews Sex in the City author Candace Bushnell's new book, Trading Up from the viewpoint of Elle Woods, the main character in the Reese Witherspoon pseudo-chick-flick, Legally Blonde: "Excuse the interruption, but I just read your story in 'Trading Up,' and thought I really, really need to write you. I mean, we Blondes have to stick together, right? And we both started out with so much in common like we coulda been sisters at Delta Nu! You know, the whole blonde stereotype thing, where people look at us and they just see blond hair and think airhead. It's like no one takes us seriously!"
