James Frey Still to Speak at Hyatt Regency

Where: 300 Reunion Boulevard [map], Dallas, TX, United States, 75207

[UPDATE: This event has been cancelled. Luckily, Dr. Drew Pinsky of MTV's Lovelines has managed to gracefully step in under such short notice. Thank god.]

James Frey, "the man who conned Oprah," and the fake author of the fake memoir "A Million Little Pieces" was humiliated by Oprah yesterday on her most amazing episode ever but he still plans on hitting up the Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel for a speaking engagement next Friday.

The event is being sponsored by the Turtle Creek Manor, which "provides residential treatment to indigent mentally ill and chemically addicted adults."

Sadly, the group is still promoting Frey's appearance on their web site. More than 500 people are expected to shell out the $125 ticket cost to hear Frey speak, presumably about his addiction and the other stuff he "wrote from memory."

We sort of wish Bob Saget would show up and ask Frey what he's ever done for cocaine.

At this point, those poor people should just put their ticket money towards a hotel room, and use whatever is left over to raid the mini-bar and binge on in-room movies. Porn and overeating, now those are addictions worth writing a fake memoir about.
