Former Paris Hilton Manager to Capitalize on Heiress’ Mistake
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Legal Issues, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
The former manager to Paris Hilton is reportedly shopping around a new tell-all book which will detail that heiress’ early rise to stardom. It seems Miss Hilton never made him sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), so he’s free to spill all her secrets.
And spill, he will. The book is supposed to detail how manager Jason Moore “managed to save his mercurial client from disgrace by manipulating the media, and Paris herself.” Sounds juicy!

The 24-year-old former Playboy Playmate - who is expecting her first child with her American football star husband Hank Baskett - can’t wait for the book to hit stores next year. She said in a statement released by publishers Simon Spotlight Entertainment: “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I have a husband I adore, a baby on the way, and now my memoir is going to be published!”
The tome, which should be available next summer, will cover Kendra’s childhood as well as the period she spent living at the Playboy Mansion when she was dating 83-year-old magazine mogul Hugh Hefner. It will also look at her TV career, which includes reality shows The Girls Next Door and her new series Kendra.
“The memoir will be a humorous, relatable, fish-out-of-water tale that captures the spirit of one of the most beloved Playboy cover models in history,” the statement added.
Simon Spotlight Entertainment’s Jennifer Bergstrom said: “Kendra is so genuine and funny that her memoir is sure to be unique, refreshing, and a reflection of the woman so many people have fallen in love with.”

“If you think you know everything there is to know about Michael Jackson, you’re wrong.” These were the words of Jennifer Bergstrom, vice president of Simon Spotlight Entertainment. This is the company that’s behind Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson.

Salinger Sequel Nixed in the U.S.
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
The Swedish author who penned a sequel to J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye received a court ruling Wednesday that prevents him from publishing the book Stateside. The court judged that the book mirrors Salinger’s far too closely.
The novel, 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, according to the judge, has “taken well more from ‘Catcher,’ in both substance and style, than is necessary.”
Originally, the book was scheduled for a late summer U.S. publishing schedule. It’s already been published in England, where no legal action against the tome has been taken.

George W. Bush Decides to Write a Memoir
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Where Are They Now?,
George W. Bush, the forty-third president of the United States of America, will put his thoughts to paper in a new memoir. The working title of the book is Decision Points, and the AP is reporting that it should be ready for publication sometime next year.
“I want people to understand the environment in which I was making decisions,” W. said over the phone to Associated Press reporters. “I want people to get a sense of how decisions were made, and I want people to understand the options that were placed before me.”
Bush famously coined the phrase “The Decider,” a title which he gave himself in defense of his War on Terror. Evidently, the book will explain to the public just what being The Decider means - in Bush’s mind, anyway. The memoir will explore a wide range of decisions, including his vice president selection of Dick Chaney.
No financial details on the book have been released.

Patrick Swayze Memoir Due Out This Fall
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
Even though he’s already opened up to Barbara Walters, Patrick Swayze still has a lot of story left to tell.
The 56-year-old and Lisa Niemi, his wife of 30 years, are currently working on a memoir that will hit the shelves this fall. According to Atria Books, the currently untitled project “will offer an intimate account of Patrick Swayze’s childhood, career and marriage, as well as his brave fight against a diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer, from which he has gleaned wisdom and has remained resolutely optimistic.”
Lisa will also contribute passages about her experience “helping a loved one battle a life-threatening disease.”
Swayze says his intention is to help those who might benefit from the book. “With everything I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I’m told that my story has been inspirational to people,” the actor said in a statement. “I will write from my heart about these experiences and aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful.”

Sanjaya Malakar, the Author
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Where Are They Now?,
During his time on American Idol’s sixth season, Sanjaya Malakar enjoyed a unique sort of fame. His biggest critics said he couldn’t sing a lick - but nothing could sway his fans from their die-hard devotion. He made waves with his changing hairdo and seemingly against-the-odds run on the show…but does Malakar have a few waves to make for the series yet?
“I realized that I had a story that no other past contestant has said,” Sanjaya Malakar recently told Access Hollywood.
The realization led him to pen the autobiographical Dancing To The Music In My Head, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the world of Idol, told from Malakar’s point of view. A companion CD of the same name will be released at the same time.

Sarah Palin to Pick Up a Pen?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Some are estimating that governor Sarah Palin could make as much as $7 million to put her thoughts to paper in a book. This huge total is just $3 million shy of the sum Bill Clinton received for his 2001 tome. Clinton’s staggering paycheck was the largest ever awarded a former president for a book deal.
Currently, paparazzi are chasing Palin and snapping her pic at every opportunity. Some say these pictures could go for as little as $300, but others say a Palin shot could fetch something in the five-figure range.
Palin drew attention early for her folksy charm and homespun catchphrases. Her party did not win the election, but Palin seems to have won her place in the public eye. With reports of a possible pundit spot, a talk show gig and now a multi-million-dollar book deal, Palin’s future looks bright - and highly, highly public.
