Yoko Ono has announced that she will be writing her autobiography about her life with John Lennon over the next five years. The late Beatle’s wife previously said that she wouldn’t write such a book to protect the family involved including the singer’s ex-wife Cynthia Lennon. Perhaps she’s getting a boat load of money. A Beatles expert said “Unlike Cynthia, Yoko has never really told her side of the Beatles story and the truth about her affair and subsequent marriage to John, so the book will be much awaited. She’s always maintained she never broke up The Beatles, so this will be her chance to put the record straight.”
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’.
