How about a volume of clever celebrity poetry? If you could get a deal allowing you to include some good photos, drawings, or oh! caricatures! you might have a hot little item on your hands. It's fluff, true, but on the off-chance it could gain you a little scratch to finance more substantial projects, it could be a worthwhile project. At the very least, it might introduce you to some aspects of your creativity you haven't seen before. It would get you back in the habit of being productive, too.
