"People want clowns for celebrities", this is what Vanna Bonta thinks.
The novelist/actress thinks today's celebrity standard is not about being a shining star. According to Bonta, the public trend of bashing people who are famous is a way of coping with "World news headlines that read like the planet is an insane asylum." Hmmm ... Logic!
Vanna Bonta feels offended when she's called a celebrity! The medal-winning writer says her fans love her and buy her books because they make a "real" connection.

Bonta blogged on her MySpace: "The letters from my readers sharing how I've moved them, inspired ideas, tears or laughter is the real pay."

Okay, so send in the clowns, er... don't bother, they're here ... but in times of whine and rehab it seems medals are still being awarded to poets and storytellers. A literary gold medal issued by a branch of the Italian government is one of the numerous silver and gold awards on Vanna Bonta's wall.

Kudos to ya Vanna!
