Book Britney Spears Divorce The Woman in Me

BRITNEY’S BOOK DUE FOR A REWRITE – THANKS TO DIVORCE

STOP THE PRESSES – literally! We’re not sure HOW she managed to put this together, but Britney Spears’ much hyped autobiography, The Woman in Me, was SET to be released October 24. Of course, her sudden split from estranged husband Sam Asghari has thrown a major monkey wrench into that plan. According to a publishing insider, Britney devotes more than a few pages of her tell-all to singing Sam’s praises and those chapters will have to be rewritten to reflect the current state of their marriage. Our insider who has SEEN the manuscript reveals that the lovey-dovey parts about Sam read like fiction now, so those chapters of the book are being updated -this might delay the announced October release date.

Autobiography Barbra Streisand Book My Name is Barbra Ryan O'Neal

WILL BARBRA STREISAND LEAVE ANYTHING OUT OF HER LIFE STORY?

Barbra Streisand’s memoir (around a thousand pages!) is due to be released in November- just in time for Christmas gifts. Naturally her life story will include her Hollywood romances and we can’t wait to read the chapter about Ryan O’Neal. Barbra and Ryan costarred in two comedies- What’s Up Doc and The Main Event. Apparently Barbra had a huge crush on Ryan after their first movie and I saw them together one night at The Candy Store in Beverly Hills. She was ALL OVER him! Barbra was giggling and nuzzling Ryan and sitting on his lap half the time. She did not let him out of her sight or her grip. Apparently they dated for awhile, but then Ryan met Farrah Fawcett (who was married to Lee Majors at the time) and THEY hooked up. I’m curious to read Streisand’s book to see what she says about Ryan…

Book Bribe College Lori Loughlin scandal

LORI LOUGHLIN WANTS TO BE FORGIVEN

Lori Loughlin is getting ready to tell HER side of the story. It’s been around three years since her troubles with the college admission bribery scandal and resulting two month prison term.  Lori is now rebuilding her career and working on her autobiography. A publishing insider says that Lori’s tell-all will cover many aspects of her private life – including her rarely discussed first marriage, secrets from her time on Full House, and of course her legal troubles and jail time. Now that she’s paid her dues and put the scandal behind her, Lori is eager to get back into acting, and feels writing a book will hopefully provide a boost to her career.

Book Drag Queens Liar, Liar! scandal

GEORGE SANTOS HAS A PLAN B IF CONGRESS DUMPS HIM

Congressional conman George Santos has a backup plan if his time as a NY Congressman comes to an abrupt end. The disgraced politician could be ousted from Congress for multiple reasons -including lying about almost everything on his resume, possible campaign fraud, and even potential criminal charges in Brazil. If he does get booted, the rumored former drag queen plans to cash out with a tell-all book ironically titled, And Nothing But The Truth, which he has been quietly pre-shopping around to publishers. Although he has zero credibility,  a publishing house insider explains that a book could be a best seller if he comes clean on everything. He’s lied about so much and fooled so many of his constituents that if he’s capable of confessing the truth, it could sell well. For now though, George has insisted he’s staying in Congress, so any book deal hinges on him getting expelled.

Book Prince Harry Taliban

PRINCE HARRY FEARS HE REVEALED TOO MUCH IN BOOK- BEEFING UP SECURITY!

Here’s a story you won’t read in Prince Harry’s just released bestseller autobiography, Spare – he’s beefed up security ever since he revealed in the book that he killed 25 Taliban insurgents while serving two stints in Afghanistan for the British military! Harry explained the killings in detail and he now fears that he overshared, and has become a target for revenge. The Taliban and Islamic fundamentalists might not take this info lightly. An insider says Harry has quietly beefed up his already impressive security presence around his Montecito estate, as well as his personal bodyguards when traveling. Although not confirmed, one resident of the area reveals that Harry may have received some threats and was informed by either US or British intelligence, which would explain the sudden added guards.

Book Insult Keanu Reeves Matthew Perry

MATTHEW PERRY: HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS

Keanu Reeves can rest easy- Matthew Perry is already starting to regret the unfortunate comment he made about Keanu in his new book. Sounding a lot like Chandler Bing, Matthew wrote: “Why is it talented actors and original thinkers Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, and Chris Farley die, BUT KEANU REEVES STILL WALKS AMONG US? “ Perry was BOMBARDED with negative online reaction and immediately started backpedaling. He told Deadline “I’m actually a big fan of Keanu. I just chose a random name, by mistake. I apologize. I should have used my own name instead.” Sure, Matthew. (Did he not know how beloved Keanu is to his many fans?)

Addiction Book Friends Matthew Perry

MATTHEW PERRY MAKES A COMEBACK

Matthew Perry, 53, hasn’t worked for at least the last five years, and every time we’ve seen photos of him they were far from flattering. He looked unshaven and sometimes unkempt in pajama-like clothing. It’s common knowledge that he’s been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, but maybe now he’s finally gotten a grip on it. While he wasn’t acting, he was actually writing a book, and that’s a GOOD thing. He finally finished his memoir called Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing – coming out Nov 1. He talks about his “lost love,” (who could that be?) his darkest days, and behind-the-scenes Friends stories – with plenty of humor. Sounds like a best seller…

Author Book Dirty Computer Janelle Monae

JANELLE MONAE INVITES YOU TO VISIT HER AFROFUTURISTIC WORLD

Looking spiffy as usual, singer Janelle Monae is busily promoting her new BOOK- not album! When it comes to fashion- barely five foot tall Janelle does not disappoint. She says she is inspired by black and white tuxedo combinations and that dandyish look has become the “uniform” of her career. We rarely see her in designer fashions- most of her outfits seem to be created by HER- not a stylist. Having conquered the world of music and fashion, she now aspires to become a successful author. Her book is a collection of short stories by her and friends called The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer. The description is SO complicated: It takes place in an “afrofuturistic totalitarian world and explores queerness, race, gender, and love, while considering the possibilities of memory and time.” Can you imagine? Hope the subject matter doesn’t scare readers away…

Book Eliot Page Ellen Page Gay Memoir Transgender

ELLIOT PAGE HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT HOLLYWOOD

Elliot Page was the first Oscar nominated actress (Ellen Page in Juno) to come out as transgender in Hollywood history. He made the announcement over two years ago and his career is understandably up in the air right now. Determined to make the best of it, Elliot is writing a memoir called Pageboy and it already sold to a publisher for 3 million dollars. It looks like it will be a guessing game of homophobic Hollywood bullies and we hope there are lots of clues. Not only did a male director try to seduce Ellen at the age of 16, but a HUGE movie star got drunk at a party and went on a homophobic rampage, embarrassing Page when she first came out as gay. Put Pageboy on your Christmas list for 2023.

Book Garry Shandling Lookin' Good! Michael Douglas Sharon Stone

IF ONLY SHARON STONE WOULD NAME NAMES!

Sharon Stone, 63, was seen shopping on Madison Avenue last week looking absolutely adorable. And that slicked back hair suits her! We read her book The Beauty of Living Twice and one of the most surprising revelations was the fact that she once dated Garry Shandling! The book is compelling, but we thought she should have NAMED NAMES. She’s had a lot of very interesting Hollywood experiences, but she was apparently afraid to identify a lot of the characters. We fondly remember writing about her and her Basic Instinct costar Michael Douglas having a fling (from our hotel source)- in Star Magazine, but she did not mention it in the book!
