Trevor Noah’s memoir Born a Crime is in my top five books of all time. I laughed, I cried, it was everything.

My favorite celebrities’ memoirs were Keith Richards and Julie Andrews. (I contain multitudes.)

I love listening to celebrity memoirs read by the author. Recent favorites were Michael J Fox's newest and Selma Blair.

I read Tom Felton’s book. It was sort of short and it spoke about his lowest points in life. I liked it a lot.

Oh I love memoirs. Celebrities have every right to get out their side and cash in. Millions, if not billions, have been made as a result of paparazzi coverage and articles about Britney. Why shouldn't she get a piece? For me, I do not believe she is getting the money off of this as I do not believe her to be free. I don't care she get her piece, I just do not believe she is. Also to your point, I do not believe millions and billions were made from paparazzi coverage as during this time she was ALL OVER TOWN WITH THE OTHER IT GIRLS. Getting photos of them were not hard in the least. Remember they would wear no panties and get out of cars flashing cooch so yeah. You don't think images of celebrities sell tabloids or generate clicks on websites loaded with advertisements? I'm not sure how much she is making but I support her getting some money for her story, skewed as it surely is. |

I'm not sure how much she is making but I support her getting some money for her story, skewed as it surely is. Yes, they do. I am just saying back then at that time, she was all over the place. Pictures of her were not hard to come by. She was everywhere. It was not a click on website time we are talking about. If she is not in control of her money and decision making, then I do not believe she is benefitting. That's where I am. ETA - not as digital as it is now is what I am saying. Much different times. |

The convicted former record label owner knows who was behind the murder. The A lister with the ever changing name.

This aging B+ list actor/director sure enjoyed auditioning the very young men for their roles in a gay porn movie.

What can I say, I like what I like 😂 It’s called Beyond the Wand which is amusing. The audiobook (which he narrates) is only like 6 hours long. I listened to it after I met him over the summer. |

Not buying the Andy and John stuff. They are incredibly close and have openly said they love each other, but that doesn’t mean anything else is going on. Andy has quite a few close male friends - some that he has even dated. He can do the platonic thing quite well.

Don't believe the hype or the implied story, this A- list actress who got her fame from a government show is happily married and not seeing other guys.

My book club met tonight and decided that listening to the Brit memoir would be a bonus for next month.
I also really got to show off my expert knowledge when we had a long discussion about Danny M and his conviction, the Ashton is maybe a killer thing, and Scientology. So thanks Blinds thread.

Didn’t she reveal she just had a baby? Yeah. She had a baby boy last November I think. Then there has been rumors of her being pregnant again with twins. I guess she decided to just come out with it this time. |

Lol I was wondering why she finally admitted she had baby #5 when she kept it a secret for so long. I guess this is why. Maybe one of them is a girl so she wants to talk about it

The wife of this A+ list NFL QB sure ditched one of her best friends in a hurry. She doesn't want to risk angering the A+ list singer so dumped the ex of the other football player after just going out two weeks ago. Wow.
