Last month we learned that Lindsay Lohan will be “channeling Marilyn Monroe” in her upcoming nude pictorial for Playboy magazine but today we learn that the actual nude photographs of Monroe (that have proved to be inspiration for countless wannabes) will soon be available in a new hardcover book. While other starlets have tried to make a career imitating Marilyn Monroe and her work, the actual object of imitation herself will soon be available to own by fans … so why go for the fake when you can have the real thing? Norman Mailer, Bert Stern: Marilyn Monroe will be available in a limited edition tome that will feature Monroe‘s final collection of nude photographs … click below to see what the book has in store for collectors.

And so … my time here in Connecticut has come to an end. To be honest, it’s been a great visit … even tho I haven’t left the house since David and I arrived last Wednesday night. Except for Thanksgiving day, I’ve been in my warm and comfy pajamas the entire time … and it’s been glorious. But, as with all good things, this little holiday has come to an end. This afternoon, David, his siblings and I will make our way to NYC, NY for the rest of the week … but boy, I’ve really enjoyed all of the downtime I got to indulge in while here in CT these past few days.

Next week a new book will be released titled Dear Me: A Letter to my Sixteen-Year-Old Self that will compile a collection of letters written by famous people to their sixteen-year-old selves in an effort to inspire others. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was asked to pen the forward of this new book and you can read it in full below, courtesy of USA Today.

Now that Lindsay Lohan is back in hot water again, legally of course, the time is PERFECT for someone to shop around a tell-all book about her alleged drug use. Of course, a book like this would be even more valuable if it came from someone in her inner circle … even MORE valuable if it came from someone in her family. Now … which member of her family could do such a thing? According to TMZ, that person would be her mother Dina Lohan … who, they report, is shopping a memoir that chronicles her daughter’s rampant partying and destructive drug use. Surprised? Not me.

Last night I was able to meet one of the coolest women in Hollywood at a book-signing at Book Soup in West Hollywood, CA … none other than THE original Catwoman herself, Julie Newmar. As you may know, Julie was one of the actresses who famously played Catwoman in the Batman TV series of the 1960s (along with Eartha Kitt and Lee Merriweather). I’ve been a fan of her since I was a wee child … so when I learned she was doing an inperson booksigning, I had to go … and I had the BEST TIME EVER!!

Earlier this month, at NY Fashion Week, Courtney Love gave an impromptu interview where she talked about books (among other, very random things) and wouldn’t you know it … today we learn that Courtney has landed a publishing deal to WRITE her own book. According to the New York Times, C. Love will be penning a tell-all memoir (with a ghost writer, I’m assuming) in order to tell her side of her trainwreck of a life story. Interested? The memoir is due out next Fall.

Great, great news to pass along for those of you fans of children’s author Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, etc.) because a new book of his brilliant poetry has been released this week. Silverstein‘s family sorted thru a mountain of his unpublished work and culled together 145 previously unreleased poems that were, for various reasons, left off of his previous books. For Silvertein fans like me, this is a TREASURE TROVE of new poems to read. The world lost a great artist when Silverstien passed away in 1999 … but this new book of poetry promises to remind us all just how lucky we were to have him in the world. Click below to check out the book cover for Every Thing On It and read one of the “new” poems pulblished in this new book.

Jermaine Jackson is releasing a book about the death of his famous brother Michael Jackson this week and today we not only get our first look at the book cover art but we also get to read a few excerpts from the book. It’s hard not to feel that the inspiration for this book is a bit … sordid. As you may know, Jermaine has been having difficulty paying his child support payments but it looks like this book deal may help him get his affairs in order. HMMM. Curious? See and read more below.

Last night I attended an in-store book signing event hosted by Marilyn Manson and his new BFF Shia LaBeouf here in Hollywood, CA where the pair were meeting fans who purchased their book Born Villain. As unlikely a pairing as they may seem, MM and Shia looked like the best of buds and honestly were about as cool as possible for every single person who came out to meet them. I managed to get in line kinda late but the wait wasn’t that bad at all. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Shia but having met MM before, I was hoping it would be another pleasant experience. I’m happy to say that it was. I snapped some photos, check ‘em out below.

Tonight I will be attending a book signing and film screening in Hollywood that will be hosted by BFFs and collaborators Marilyn Manson and Shia LaBeouf. Um, that’s right … MM and Shia became friends and collaborated on a new music video … the creation of which is documented in a new book and shortfilm titled Born Villain. The pair will be at Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood tonight … and so will I.
