Bestseller Book Channing Tatum Children New York Times

CHANNING TATUM WROTE A BOOK AND IT’S NOT ABOUT MALE STRIPPERS

Channing Tatum is one of the LAST people we could imagine writing a book that landed on the New York Times Bestseller List. But he DID it! The Magic Mike stripper has written a children’s book – The One and Only Sparkella – that is now #1 on the NYT Bestselling Children’s Book list and he, too, is flabbergasted. Tatum was inspired to write the book by his 7 year old daughter Everly. Channing and his adorable wife Jenna Dewan split in 2019 and now he’s a single dad. He noticed his little girl becoming shy and starting to worry about what other kids in school thought of her, and that’s what inspired him to write. Who would’ve guessed?

Book I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian Paris Paris Fashion Week Robbery

“I KIDNAPPED KIM KARDASHIAN” IS NOW A BOOK

Now THIS is funny. One of the criminals who robbed Kim Kardashian four years ago when she was in Paris for Fashion Week, has written a book on his experience titled “I KIDNAPPED KIM KARDASHIAN.” We’ve heard Kim’s version of the event, now we can hear the robber’s story. You might remember, it was the biggest robbery of a single individual in France in 20 years. Three months later, 12 men were arrested for the crime – the five men who actually broke into the Kardashian apartment were aged from 60 to 72 and dubbed the “grandpa robbers “ in the press. One of the men tied up Kim with cables and tape and put her in the bathtub. The crooks got away with 10.8 million dollars worth of jewelry (on bicycles no less!) and it was never found. The book’s author Yunice Abbas, 67, called it “the perfect crime.” The embarrassed night watchman at the luxury building where Kim was staying is trying to seize any profits from book sales.

SHARON STONE IS READY FOR ANYTHING

Sharon Stone is not wasting time while she’s been social isolating with her two youngest sons in Beverly Hills. Sharon has been writing a book about her life called The Beauty of Living Twice – most likely the title reflects her almost dying of a stroke in 2001- she’s expects it to be published next year. She’s also been giving online advice to people frightened by the riots happening close to her. She advised everyone to find a “panic room” (preferably a bathroom) they can prepare and bolt if someone breaks into their house. We’re betting she has a rather fancy one herself.

Book Lupita Nyong'o

LUPITA NYONG’O : PERFECTLY ATTIRED FOR THE OCCASION

She’s already won an Oscar, and now Lupita Nyong’o is in New York promoting her new children’s book – and she’s dressed in the perfect outfit. Not too sexy or too serious. Lupita’s book, called Sulwe (“Star” in Lupita’s native language) is aimed at 4 to 8 year olds and addresses the issue of skin color prejudice. It’s an inspiring story about a dark-skinned Kenyan girl who has a magical adventure and learns about colorism and self-esteem while having fun. Just what little girls need.

Book Caitlin Jenner Kris Jenner

WHAT KRIS JENNER REALLY HATES ABOUT CAITLYN JENNER’S BOOK

Caitlyn Jenner continues to promote her book “The Secrets of My Life” which continues to irritate her ex-wife Kris Jenner. Caitlyn does say some nice things in the book about Kris’s business sense and her ability to work a room – but that’s about all. What really irks Kris is Caitlyn’s claim (when she was Bruce) that Kris KNEW about Bruce’s transgender leanings BEFORE they got married. Bruce often dressed in drag when they were alone together and Kris kept it from the children. We’re not sure if this “feud” is real or just contrived publicity for the book…

Book Caitlin Jenner Kris Jenner

THE KARDASHIANS ARE TURNING AGAINST CAITLYN JENNER

Caitlyn Jenner is promoting her new book “The Secrets of my Life” to DEATH, but it’s not selling like wildfire. And that’s FINE with the Kardashians. The girls are angry because they feel Caitlyn is speaking negatively about their mother. Caitlyn has implied that if ex-wife Kris had been more “understanding” they might still be married! Did Caitlyn actually think she and Kris could become best girl friends and go shopping together? In fact, Caitlyn believes her whole family is not supportive enough. They rarely see each other any more and there are no Kardashians at Caitlyn’s book signings. We think Caitlyn needs to be more understanding – watching one’s husband or father become a woman can be traumatizing.

Bobby Brown Book Tell Alls Whitney Houston

BOBBY BROWN IS SELLING HIS TELL-ALL BOOK WITH A SIDE OF BBQ SAUCE

Bobby Brown was at the Leimert Park Village Book Fair this weekend signing copies of his sexy tell-all “Every Little Step.” The book is so packed with sexual encounters that the Daily News suggested it should have been titled “Every Little Schtup!” After a sexcapade in a recording studio bathroom, Bobby declared that Madonna was “too wild for me!” In addition to his own affairs, Bobby wrote a lot about his ex-wife Whitney Houston’s drug use and flings with men AND women. Besides books, Bobby was also selling his own BBQ sauce and seasoning at the fair. Who knew he could cook?

Book David Miscavige Tell Alls Tom Cruise

SCIENTOLOGY LEADER DAVID MISCAVIGE WANTS YOUR RESPECT!

Tom Cruise has been spending most of his time in the UK and suddenly it might not seem so inviting. Tom’s very close friend David Miscavige has his panties in a knot because his own father is publishing an anti-Scientology book there. (Of course, we LOVE him for that!) The sensational book is called “Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me.” Scientology leader David Miscavige has already hired an expensive anti- defamation law firm there and he’s hoping to scare the publishers into chickening out, as has happened so often before. But the libel laws have softened in the UK, and hopefully the publishers will stand their ground. The Hollywood Reporter published the threatening legal letter taken from Tony Ortega’s website. We were especially amused by this statement: “As the leader of a worldwide religion, our client (David Miscavige) is entitled to an appropriate degree of respect.”

AJ Benza Book The Gossip Show

LONG TIME NO SEE: GOSSIP TURNED AUTHOR AJ BENZA

We haven’t seen former gossip columnist AJ Benza out and about for awhile. Apparently he’s been putting the finishing touches on his new book. We both appeared on The Gossip Show on E! for years and it was always one of their top rates series. It was cancelled when some important celebrity publicists took offense at what we gossip reporters said about their clients (the truth can hurt!) PR people threatened to ban the E! channel from their red carpet events and celebrity interviews if the show wasn’t cancelled. That was IT. AJ ‘s new book is called ‘74 and Sunny and it is described, surprisingly, as a sensitive memoir. Above, he and Lisa Gastineau are at Craig’s.

Angelina Jolie Book Kids

ANGELINA JOLIE AND HER TWO BOOKWORMS

It’s nice to see Angelina Jolie and two of her kids NOT at the airport for a change. She took her twins Vivienne and Knox to a Studio City bookstore instead of a toy store, and let them pick out what they wanted. It’s a good habit to introduce. As usual, Angelina wore basic black and the kids left with plenty of reading material.
