A barman to the stars will publish a tell-all memoir about the celebrities he has met on the island of Mustique.
“My book will shock the high society of Mustique as it will tell the truth about celebrities at play,” said Basil Charles, 62, who is also known as The King of Mustique. Charles has served drinks to the likes of the Beckhams, Mick Jagger, Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss and Princess Margaret.
He says he has no fear about breaking the island’s famous code of silence. “There will be revelations in the book, some of them shocking, but I’m not afraid to write it. Why should I be?” he said.
The artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince has been accused of some seriously cutthroat business tactics in a book deal gone sour. According to a lawsuit filed in LA County Superior Court, a literary agency claims that Prince chose them as his “exclusive agent with respect to the negotiations of a publishing deal” for a book called ’21 Nights’ and a special limited edition version. In the documents, the agency claims in the final stages of the deal, the singer stopped calling them back and then went behind their back to finish the negotiations, thus screwing the company out of its 15% commission.
No, you’re eyes aren’t fooling you. That really is Lauryn Hill in that picture. The retired former multi-platinum selling singer is apparently a fan of Martha Stewart. The former Fugee also took her kids to a signing for the domestic diva’s new book ‘Martha Stewart’s Cooking School Lessons for the Home Cook’ at a Williams Sonoma store in New Jersey recently. Whatever happened to her? She just let herself go in all aspects. She had such a promising solo career too. I guess she’s going to be stuck to just being a domesticated mom and no longer a successful musician.
Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler must think that he has a pretty interesting life. The rocker is set to write his second memoir in just five years. How many extraordinary moments can he write about that took place in that short time? Apparently, the company Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins, won an auction and will pay the 60-year old singer $2 million to publish the book. His last memoir in 2003 included his band mates and was entitled ‘Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith’. The book was co-written by Stephen Davis who became known for digging up dirt on Led Zeppelin in ‘Hammer of the Gods’.
Don’t be surprised but Bobby Brown can read and write – at least that’s what they want us to believe. Atlas Books said that the former singer was set to write a memoir in which he allegedly accuses his ex-wife Whitney Houston of fuelling his addiction to drugs. The book was to be titled ‘Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But’. However, Atlas Books just claimed that it has been cancelled. The book’s publicist is denying those claims though, saying that it will be released at a future date. Why bother? It’s not like anyone is going to read it anyway.
The past few years have seen a number of films and documentaries that speculate on the life, death, and mental state of the now-legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, and it looks like one more is in the pipeline.
MSNBC reports that David Benioff will be drafting a script for the biopic Heavier Than Heaven, based on a book of the same name. Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, will serve as an executive producer of the project, along with her lawyer Howard Weitzman.
There appears to be little known about the project thus far — both a Google search and the Internet Movie Database came up empty — but those who wish to get a jump on the film can buy the source material online or at their favorite brick-and-mortar bookstore.
