How foolish we were to think that we could possibly go more than a DAY without some sort of DRAMA from Lindsay Lohan!

To be fair, of course, the troubled starlet has kept a pretty low profile since it was revealed that she can't even afford to rent an apartment, and this time around, it's her equally tiresome parents, Michael and Deviant Dina, causing the shenanigans!

What kind of shenanigans, you may ask?

Oh, the typical fare from two adults who have periodically exploited their children for press and financial gain: they both have publishing deals in the works for potential TELL-ALL books!

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'd say that Nick Cannon is a DEFINITE upgrade!

Before Mariah Carey's love story with Nick began, Mariah was married to Tommy Mottola… and we all know how that worked out.

And now, in his effort to make his book a bestseller, the man who credits himself for Mariah's success has admitted that he was obsessive and controlling with the world famous diva!

During an interview on Today about his book Hitmaker: The Man and His Music, Tommy said:

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:

Isn't it just always the SAME story from guys like these?

Mariah Carey may be a happily married of two with her husband Nick Cannon now, but back when her career was just starting out at the age of 23, she was trapped in a marriage to Tommy Mottola, from whom she later revealed to be mentally and emotionally abusive to her throughout their four years together!

However, in his new memoir Hitmaker, the record executive 20 years her senior gives an entirely different account of the way in which he treated his wife, and instead asserts that his demands of her are the SOLE reason she's as big an icon as she is today!

He writes:

Patti Smith added to her impressive resume a few years ago with the release of her memoir Just Kids which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction.

That book will be getting the movie treatment, and now it has been confirmed that Smith will be writing a sequel to it also!

Here's what the rock 'n' roll icon recently said:

Believe it or not, there was a time when Anna Wintour was all hot and bothered over a certain male model: Derek Zoolander!

In Grace Coddington’s memoir, she gives little peeks into what the Vogue editor is really like, including her crushes!

She talked about Benny, saying:

"I think (the Ben Stiller shot by Annie Leibovitz for a couture story in Paris) was decided upon, really, because Anna had a crush on Ben.”

We can see it. After all, he’s a model, idiot!

What's more shocking are Anna's other crushes like Roger Federer and, wait for it, PUFF DADDY!

That’s right, Puffy could have been Diddy-ing Anna back in the day. Ha!

Well, we can’t wait to read this memoir if there are juicy deets like this. Bring it on!
