My News Booth

The singer is apparently getting bored with her voice and is trying to turn her writing skills into a source for a new art. After writing an autobiography that kind of got her beat up, now Leona Lewis has apparently embarked upon the noble quest of writing a movie. This is what Leona Lewis said on the matter: “I love movies but I’m more into scriptwriting and the actual story and behind the scenes. But I wouldn’t say no if it was the right thing.” After that Leona Lewis might just get into acting, maybe even do a little directing and so on. Never knew they were training multi-functionals at the “X Factor” Academy.

Bon Jovi is preparing to tell it all. The multiplatinum rockers are working on creating their 25th anniversary with Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful. This is supposedly going to have pictures & portraits of previously unreleased photographs and will also have special writings by the band members themselves.

Publishers HarperCollins said in statement released on March 3, 2009, “The book offers unprecedented insights into the lives of the members when on stage, on the roads, and at home, as well as intimate reflections on the highs & lows of their twenty-five years together.”

Wow man this would be real interesting to read, a complete history of stuff and that too not just about Bon Jovi who we all love but also on the other band members covering 25 years of togetherness and to be able to see insider pictures of the bad men rockers who have sobered as the years have progressed is a collector’s pick.

The only down side is that the book will only be out next fall so we’ll have to wait that bit longer.

Faith Hill’s husband and father to three daughters, Tim McGraw, has drawn from his personal experiences to write a children’s book for little girls. The book is a bout a day between a father and daughter doing nothing in special but just enjoying the pleasure of each other’s company. The country crooner said that among the challenges a father faces while raising daughters is having to “sacrifice what you want to do, because boys do what you want to do. If I want to go to the farm and shoot guns or ride four-wheelers in the mud when it’s 40 degrees … the girls aren’t really interested in doing that.” He hopes the book will provide some quality time for fathers and daughters to sit down and read together.

Who knew that a Spice Girl would make such a great author? Geri Halliwell, more famously known as Ginger Spice, has been named 2008’s best selling children’s author. Her book, ‘Ugenia Lavender’, has really taken off and has sold over 250,000 copies in the UK in just a few months. Aside from that accomplishment, British retailer WHSmith says that Geri has also been named one of the most successful celebrity authors in recent years. Geri says “I’m so happy that everyone loves Ugenia as much as I do.” The former singer may end up writing more than just books as she has announced that she had just penned her first film screenplay.

Like the backstabber that he is, he’s not going to give credit to anyone else but himself. As Christopher Ciccone left Mark’s in West Hollywood with one of Madonna’s former backup dancers, the Ciccone family Judas says that the Queen of Pop didn’t ghost write a single word of his money-grubbing book. Who’s going to think that Madonna wrote part of a tell-all book that airs out her dirty laundry anyway? While there may be no such thing as bad publicity for her, I don’t think she would stoop so low to get even more attention on her by writing on her brother’s book.

Pop superstar Janet Jackson is writing a book about her weight struggles. The singer is chronicling her fluctuating weight battles in the currently untitled book, which will also include nutritional dieting tips. Janet Jackson Writes Fat Book topping out at 375 on the scales her publisher tells her to trim it down to 125 or they won’t publish it. That’s the way thing are here in Hollywood, you have done something for yourself and want to share it but also earn from your own story then it becomes a business deal, the publishers tell you want is printable material and what is not, they don’t guide you but force you to write stuff that will be attractive to the customers and help sale the book. I understand that she might have gained a lot of weight last year and then with the help of the trainer and docs she achieved that weight loss but is she willing to share the profits of the book with the trainer or the docs, I guess – never.

I thought only famous old people wrote tell-all’s? Plus, don’t you need like, life experience to write a memoir? This is beyond lame but… Ray-J, the R&B singer who is little brother to singer Brandy, is planning to write a tell-all memoir where he will reveal that he has slept with over 1,000 women. He is an over sized pig who have never ever used the internet or has never ever used the internet for porn purposes, if at all we’d like to read some stupid sex stuff about these damn good for nothing celebs then the internet provides us with all that we need to see, read and put up with. Ray-J no one is damn interested in your memoir about the countless babes that you have had in your bed, there needs to be a star material about the celeb for people to be interested in your sex story and boy you do not have that. Some of the women he’s “slept” with include Kim Kardashian, Whitney Houston, and Lil’ Kim. Gee, that’s something to be proud of! A hoochie starved for attention, a crack-head, and a jailbird. Yay!
