Ellis' Name Removed From 'Loveable Teddybears'

I rather expected this to happen, but apparently the Euro Amazon site that had a new Bret Easton Ellis book due out in January had simply incorrectly associated his name with the book in question.

Bret Easton Ellis Adapting 'Normal Girl' For Film

I missed this one when it was originally reported (thanks to Rachel for the tip), but apparently in addition to working on his next novel, Ellis is also adapting Molly Jong-Fast's 'Normal Girl'(buy from Amazon) for a movie (follow the link, 5th item). This ought to be interesting since Ellis hasn't ever been allowed to write a screenplay for one of his own adapted novels, and Molly Jong-Fast is often compared him.

New Novel Arrives In January?

I'm not sure what to make of this because I can't find anything about it in English at all, but I got an email from Eric that included the following:

On the german Amazon site I found a new book that should be released in January by SOME Bret Easton Ellis. The German Title is Teddybären zum Liebhaben and can be translated as Loveable Teddybears.

So is this the new Ellis book long rumored to be autobiographical in nature? I can't image so because its only 128 pages long. I'm also confused about the price - 4.95 Euro. Thats cheaper than many of Ellis' used books sell for. Anybody have info on what this book is?
