Dina Lohan To Exploit Lindsay Lohan with Tell-All Book

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 21st, 2011

Perez Hilton speculates Dina Lohan could be selling a tell-all book about her troubed daughter, Lindsay Lohan.

It seems like not a day has gone by without hearing of something Lindsay Lohan has done wrong. Now, she’s spending court-appointed time at the L.A. County Morgue before the judge decided if she’ll do hard time.

Rather than comforting her daughter and trying to put the family back together in one piece, Dina has been trying to book meetings, Perez says. Thankfully, no one seems interested in her Lindsay memoir.

Dina really has to go away. She should be putting her blood, sweat and tears into being a better mom, not a best-seller. C’mon! This is not how the “White Oprah” should be behaving!

Shania Twain’s Divorce Caused Her To Lose Voice

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 9th, 2011

Country music star Shania Twain bares all in her new memoir, revealing that the end of her 14-year marriage caused her to lose her singing voice.

In the new book, titled ‘From This Moment On,’ Twain shares that her inability to express her feelings finally caught up with her and affected her ability to sing.

“I’m going to have to go through some very serious physiotherapy and recovery to be able to sing again,” Twain told ‘Canada AM’ co-hosts Beverly Thomson and Seamus O’Regan today.

It’s been three years since Twain, 45, ended her marriage to Robert Lange, 62. The split came after Twain learned Lange had fallen for her best friend and close confidante, Marie-Anne Thiebaud. That’s just plain awful.

“It wasn’t difficult to write this book. It was difficult to share it with the public,” said Twain. ”I’m sure I’m not the only one in the world who has gone through the things I’ve gone through. I know I’m not alone.”

In the memoir, Twain writes how she was “freezing cold all the time” and would take five hot baths a day just to warm up. Even then, Twain would “wear a winter coat” over her pajamas.

After she learned of the affair, Twain recounts how she felt chilled to the bone yet she was dripping in sweat for one long, dark, week. She writes that she was “forcing the pain out of my pores so I wouldn’t drown in it.”

Twain is no stranger to heartache, unfortunately. She grew up in Timmins, Ont., in a household rife with financial difficulties and arguments. Twain’s mother battled depression, but was the driving force behind Twain’s music career. ”In the more desperate times she pushed me because she needed it more than I did,” said Twain.

Twain eventually married Thiebaud’s ex-husband, Frederic, on January 1, 2011 in Puerto Rico. Kind of ironic, but I’m glad she found happiness.

Since she disappeared for such a long time, I’m glad she’s making her triumphant return in a stable state. Hopefully she’ll regain her voice and make more music – Canada misses her!

Bristol Palin Writes Memoir

Posted by Megan MacKay on February 7th, 2011

This is an example of why teenage pregnancy is bad!

Just when you think you’ve seen the last of the Palins, at least until 2012, 20-year-old Bristol churns out 304 pages of pure, uncensored memoir!

Yes, that’s right. The queen of all teen moms has officially signed a deal with publishing house William Morrow & Co. to release the “Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir,” a riveting tale of televised dancing competitions, evil exes posing in Playgirl, and having a child named after an uncommonly specific verb.

Sounds relatable!

The book is listed on Amazon and can be preordered to ensure you get your very own copy for the June 21st release.

Memoirs are written for one of four reasons: to quell nostalgia, to boost egos, to stuff pockets, or to celebrate an important person’s life. We wonder what Bristol’s motivation was… hmm…

ScreechDustin Diamond, better-known as Saved by the Bell‘s Screech, is releasing a tell-all memoir about his time on the show, reports Perez Hilton. Diamond reportedly writes about “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying.”

Joel Madden Writing Memoir

Posted by Vanessa Baker on July 28th, 2009

Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden, 30, has announced he’s working on a memoir, reports Perez Hilton.

“It would be about, mostly, the big changes in my life: kids, relationships, moving to L.A., the big life changes that I’ve gone through,” he said. “I’m lightly working on one, but I don’t want to put a book out there if it’s not actually meaningful. I’m not going to go there unless I can deliver. If I put a book out, I want it to be something that matters to me. It has to be real, you can’t just put a book out, to put a book out.”

Madden,30, and girlfriend Nicole Richie, 27, are expecting their second child at the end of the summer. They already have a daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, born Jan. 11, 2008.

Miley Cyrus Writes A Memoir

Posted by Joelle Tomlinson on February 22nd, 2009

16-year-old Disney star Miley Cyrus has written a tell-all memoir entitled “Miles To Go”. The memoir, published by Disney-Hyperion Books, will hit the stores on March 10. Cyrus was confirmed to have signed a seven-figure book deal with the Disney Book Group in April 2007 to write her autobiography. The memoir reportedly chronicles the actress-singer’s journey to stardom.

According to perezhilton.com, Cyrus addresses many issues in her memoir.

One of the issues that Cyrus addresses on her upcoming memoir “Miles to Go” is her relationship with father Billy Ray Cyrus, which is often criticized by people as they consider the father-daughter duo as too “close and cuddly.” Defending their bond, the Disney star says, “For me and my dad it’s not weird at all.” 

She proclaims her love for her father Billy, not taking into account the negative perception surrounding them, Miley insists she and her father “don’t let other people tell us what expressions we’re supposed to have on our faces when we take a picture together!”

The other issue that Miley discusses on her “Miles to Go” memoir is the media, which she claims is often instigating a downfall of the teen star. Regarding the fact, she hopes the media would instead center their attention on her “achievements.”

Madonna’s Brother to Publish Tell-All Book

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on June 15th, 2008

According to PageSix.com, Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone has written a memoir called “Life With My Sister Madonna.”

“It’s extremely graphic and devastating,” said a source, who according to the website, declined to give details. “He wrote it on the sly without telling Madonna. They want to put it out before her lawyers can get a hold of it.”

Madonna and Ciccone had a falling-out years ago after Madonna hooked up with her now husband Guy Ritchie.

The book is scheduled to be published next month by Simon and Schuster and will have a massive print run of 350,000 copies.

According to the report, Madonna’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg had no comment.
