Celebrity Autobiographies

Celebrity Autobiography Books are one of my addictions. The gossip, the drama, the honesty and the secrets. A truly great autobiography from a celebrity bares all.

Having read a variety of the celeb autobiographies --from wild woman and comedian, Kathy Griffin, to more quiet but strong types like Elizabeth Edwards --- here are some of the best celebrity books and quick reviews that I have read to date, plus a list of the best celebrity autobiographies based on sales and reviews.

I'll be updating regularly and updating with the newest celebrity books that are being released.

Latest book on my Kindle---Ashley Judd's All That Is Bitter and Sweet: A Memoir.

Latest hard cover book purchase---Kardashian Konfidential

You can't read celebrity autobiographies and not read at least ONE Brady Bunch's memoirs and the one to read is most definitely Maureen McCormick's, "Here's the Story"---you'll most likely be very surprised to hear how Maureen was coping with things while the filming of The Brady Bunch and after the show. Brave, honest reflections and very good book.

    Very interesting lens. I really appreciate the Angel Blessing of my 5 Approaches lens. Thanks! ;-)

    It is interesting to read about celebrities and their lives. We get so much information thrown at us from the tabloids so to be able to read about them in book form is refreshing. Great lens. Thanks!
  • mihgasper Mar 1, 2012 @ 1:37 pm | delete
    It would be really interesting to know how many celebrities actually wrote their autobiographies and how many spent less than 20 hours with ghost writers, who did the real work... Maybe idea for another interesting lens. Thumbs up on this one!
  • DANCINGCOWGIRLDESIGN Jan 20, 2012 @ 10:13 pm | delete
    Seems like I just get some quick info off of the t.v. gossip shows. Maybe I should have a look at these book and read the real story. You have a great selection to choose from.

    Great lens. I really want to read the Sammy Hagar book, but haven't gotten to it yet. It's on my list for the next month. Thanks for reminding me!
