Still high off her standing ovation while accepting a Peabody Award on the eight-month anniversary of her bone marrow transplant, Robin Roberts has just announced that she's releasing a memoir next year!

And we aren't talking at the END of next year… we're talking SPRING 2014!

It's true! She has sealed a deal with Grand Central Publishing to release a memoir in spring 2014, and you bet your asses she'll be talking about how it feels to have gone through the ridiculous amounts of health trouble she's been through — and to remain victorious!

Here's what she said about it:

If Thor needed to marry a goddess, he sure did!

Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemsworth's wife, looks absolutely stunning on the cover of Spain's Women's Health magazine!

Seriously, that booty is ridiculous! Ha!

We wonder what kinds of stuff she does to keep looking so trim — you know, as a mom with a hectic family! It'd be cute if she and Thor trained together!

Awwww, now we can't stop thinking about it! LOLz!

DAMN, MARIA SHARAPOVA!

Tennis has done your body wonders!! Though, we're sure you work out in addition to all that ball-play! LOLz!

Esquire Latin America's June issue is lucky to have gotten these twin covers of the tennis beauty, and we totally can't decide which one we like best! One is for the digital copy, the other is for print!

Honestly, if we were Esquire, we'd do the double cover too — who would want to choose at all? Ha!

We LOVE them and we can't wait to dive into the interview, Maria!

Hope all is well!

We can only hope the upcoming issue of Shape magazine has an extra 100 pages in it, and all of those pages are filled with Britney Spears!

We mean, if you've got Brit Brit, why do a normal spread?? LOLz!

Yesterday we were able to show you the seksi leaked cover — and now we're got some more delicious photos straight from Britney's Facebook! Girl is looking flawless as usual!!

This issue can't come out fast enough! We're SO ready!!

We were JUST hearing reports that Jason Collins had contacted THREE different publishing houses to see if he could write a memoir for them, but now it's looking like the openly gay NBA player is denying the whole thing!

His denial is a little more plausible than usual, because the sources talking about his inquiries all remained anonymous. Who's to say that he even requested at all??

Here's what he tweeted:

The first openly gay man in the NBA wants you to read his words — Jason Collins is seeking a book deal!!

Apparently he's writing a memoir, though we're not sure if we really want one yet… unless he promises to publish ANOTHER one after his career as an out-and-proud-gay-man is over! Seriously, his crazy story has just begun!

Regardless, three different publishing houses are reporting that they've been contacted by him

Last year, Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas posed with her memoir, and now, she's not only showing off her new book, Raising the Bar, but she also did a book signing!!

On Wednesday, the 17-year-old gymnast headed to a Barnes & Noble in New York City, where she dressed in a cute top, jeans and boots, to sign her new published piece for lucky fans.

Gabby is set to compete in the 2016 Olympics, and while she trains for the next few years, we're pretty sure she's gonna be doing more inspirational things like writing books.

After all, she did make history by being the first female of color and the first African-American gymnast, so we're thinking she can do anything she wants to do!!

Ch-ch-check out the cutie pie at her book signing (below)!
