K-Fed to write the most boring book ever
November 3rd, 2006 under Books, Britney Spears/KFed. [ Comments: none ]

Kevin Federline has announced that he is planning to write an autobiography. The dancer-cum-rapper wants to let the public know about his life before his marriage to Britney Spears – but won’t include any content relating to the couple’s up-down relationship. Federline told the New York Post: "The book is definite. It will be a biography of my life until I met my wife, so people will better understand who I am." However, he admitted he hadn’t started work on the project, and wouldn’t be doing the writing on his own: "I haven’t done it yet. You know, I’ll get a ghostwriter in there," he added.

How does Posh Spice think people see her?
November 1st, 2006 under Books, The Beckhams. [ Comments: none ]

Victoria Beckham is currently still reeling after over 3,000 turned up to see her sign copies of her new fashion bible ‘That Extra Half An Inch’. Posh Spice was welcomed to Selfridges in London by a crowd of fans and she is still coming to terms with her popularity. She said of the turnout: “I thought I was going to have to pay my family to make up the numbers!” However, what Posh wants more then popularity is success in the fashion industry and her new book is a big step to get where she wants to be. She said of the book: “My favourite picture in the book is one of me covering my face while I’m laughing. That shot really captured who I am. “Although I don’t smile, do I? I’m supposed to be a miserable bitch.” Then smile more!!!!!

Entertainment Wise 

What this story does not say, is that she signed autographs for 12 hours! In fact they had to order more books so she could sign a book for everyone that was there! Good for her because I have been to signings where the celeb has left after 45 minutes leaving people who waited in line for hours with no autographs. After reading what she did, I had a new found respect for her!!!

Shirley Temple working on a second autobiography
October 31st, 2006 under Books. [ Comments: none ]

Shirley Temple Black took an accidental spill in the bathroom of her home in Woodside, Calif. last week and fractured her right wrist and arm. She said she’s in a cast from her fingers to the elbow. I had phoned her to discuss a new book I’d just received, "Shirley Temple, A Pictorial History of the World’s Greatest Child Star" (Applause) by Rita Dubas. The coffee-table-sized, 250-page book is an amazing, pictorial history of her childhood and her films — to the age of 12. Shirley said she had not received a copy — adding that she had not even known about the book. However, she said she knows the author, Dubas as "my number one fan — along with one in Amsterdam." And while Shirley has (and had) no participation in the book, she told me, "I’m glad she (Dubas) did it." The Shirley Temple fans span the ages and generations with the DVD releases of her classics and the Shirley Temple doll collection which continues with other memorabilia collected by the ever-increasing, ageless ranks of fans. Until her accident, Temple had been writing the second installment of her autobiography. The first was "Child Star," The current one is, as yet, untitled — or, at least she did not want to reveal the title until it is finished and in the hands of the publisher (to be set). It starts in Prague in 1968 where she had been our ambassador to the Czech Republic, having previously served in that capacity as well in Ghana, and previously a delegate to the 24th U.N. General Assembly. And earlier, chief of protocol at the White House.

Fantasia’s dad says her autobiography lied about him
September 27th, 2006 under American Idol 1-5, Books. [ Comments: none ]

Joseph Barrino, the father of American Idol season-three winner Fantasia Barrino, has filed a $10 million libel lawsuit against Simon & Schuster over his portrayal in Fantasia – Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, his daughter’s 2005 book about her early years and rise to stardom. The book contains damaging untruths about him, Barrino claims in the suit, including that he couldn’t support his family, sacrificed his kids’ education to pursue music careers for them and asks Fantasia for money. The suit seeks $10 million in damages to "vindicate and restore the reputation of Plaintiff Joseph Barrino," a truck driver who lives in Greensboro, N.C. Fantasia is not named in the motion. The suit charges that the information in the book came primarily from a ghostwriter and from Addie Collins, Fantasia’s maternal grandmother. This is not the first controversy surrounding Life Is Not a Fairy Tale. The producers of Idol objected to their portrayal in a TV movie of the book that aired on Lifetime in August. In particular, they denied the adaptation’s claim that they’d urged Fantasia to withdraw from the competition because – as an unwed mother and high-school drop-out – she was not a suitable role model. Also, some residents of Fantasia’s High Point, N.C., hometown were upset with the depiction of their city in the book.

People 

Seriosuly did anyone in this family read the book before it was published? And yes I will refrain from making any jokes about how could Fantasia read it you know since she can’t read.
