(Newser) – If you wanted proof that Lena Dunham qualifies for the "rising young star" label, Deadline.com has it: Bidding for her book proposal Not That Kind of Girl: Advice by Lena Dunham is at $3.6 million and counting, the site reports. The 26-year-old Dunham is the creator and star of HBO's well-received Girls, set in New York City, notes the Huffington Post. The Celebrity Cafe, meanwhile, has more details on the show and what's in store for season two, including more minority characters.
