Shirley MacLaine has been a HUGE star for pretty much her whole life, which has unfortunately led her to be a not-so-good mama.

And as a result, her daughter, Sachi Parker wrote a tell-all, Lucky Me, about her life with her mom.

So far, Sachi revealed that her mother waited outside while she lost her virginity in her book, and now, even though she admits that her relationship with her mother was messy, she said that

We STILL can't believe that Justin Bieber was very close to never coming into this world, because his mother, Pattie Mallette, very much considered having an abortion when the then-teenager discovered she was pregnant with him!

But obviously, she changed her mind at the last minute, and has since used her son's worldwide fame as a platform to speak out on behalf of the pro-life movement with her memoir, Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom, which chronicled the addiction and abuse that led to her teenage pregnancy…and now, she's taking the message to the big screen!

According to new reports, Mallette served as an executive producer for an anti-abortion short film called Crescendo, which will be released February 28th with the proceeds going to pregnancy centers!

As she says in statement:

Cissy Houston will always love her Whitney Houston.

Now, she'll have a chance to remember her late daughter, who died in February at age 48, by writing a "unabridged and unbelievable story" to be published by Harper Collins.

Here's what the mom said:

"When I lost my daughter Nippy, the world lost one of the most beautiful voices and an extraordinarily beautiful and charitable woman. In sharing our story in this book, I hope to give her fans something to treasure, the way we all treasured Whitney. We are still receiving thousands of letters each day from her fans, and I hope reading this book will provide a deeper understanding into my daughter's true story."

Harper Collins also released a statement which said:

"She will tell the unabridged and unbelievable story of her daughter's life as well as her own, addressing Whitney's brightest and darkest moments while helping fans around the world understand the complexities of this extraordinary star who died much too soon. Ultimately, Cissy will go behind the headlines to show the true, human side of this strong, successful yet complicated musical icon, capturing the dramatic depths and soaring range of an extraordinary woman, along with the pain and heartbreak of a grieving mother as she struggles with impossible loss."

We think this is a wonderful way for the world to gain a deeper understanding of the beloved and missed Whitney Houston, as well as an opportunity for the mom to hopefully aid her grief by rehashing and remembering her talented but troubled daughter.

We can't wait for next February!
