NEW YORK -- Miramax is showing off its Bling. The mini-major's book division, Miramax Books, has inked a deal to acquire English-language publishing rights to Bling by first-time novelist Erica Kennedy, while Miramax Films has secured film rights to the property. Kennedy's book follows a larger-than-life hip-hop mogul who sets out to turn a small-town singer into a crossover megastar. Kennedy is a freelance reporter who has contributed to such magazines as Vibe, US Weekly and In Style. The deal follows in the footsteps of other Miramax Books projects headed to the big screen through the mini-major, including Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl trilogy, Jonathan Stroud's forthcoming The Bartimaeus Trilogy and Scott Mebus' debut, Booty Nomad.
