JENNIFER LOPEZ IS WRITING VOLUME 2 OF HER LIFE STORY

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again is exactly what Jennifer Lopez is doing. First she applied that proverbial saying to Ben Affleck, marrying him 20 years after their ill-fated first engagement – and now she’s applying it to her memoir. In 2014, Jennifer released her first book, True Love and while it made the bestsellers list, it paled in comparison to sales for other celebrity tell-alls. Jen has decided to write True Love Volume 2, which is the working title of her current memoir. Expect her to reveal how she and Ben reconciled after two decades, her co-parenting with Marc Anthony, and her struggles and successes as a Latina in Hollywood. A publishing insider says this book is projected to outsell her previous one by a mile! Let’s face it, a lot has happened since her first book…

MAMA KELCE HAS ADVICE FOR YOU ON COOKING AND PARENTING

Thanks to two sons in the NFL and the world’s biggest celebrity as her likely daughter-in-law, it’s no surprise that Donna Kelce quietly has a 7-figure book deal in place to write her memoir. Donna and her ex-husband Ed stayed married for years – even though the romantic part of their relationship ended quite some time before that. They did that to give their sons Jason and Travis a two parent household, dividing their time with their sons’ various athletic commitments. Now Donna has been tapped to write a book, with a working title of America’s Mom, to share her parenting tips as well as the untold stories and sacrifices of her life. Our source says that Travis’ better half, Taylor Swift, encouraged Donna to tell her story and share her advice. She’s working with a ghostwriter and the goal is to release the tell-all just in time for the 2024-2025 NFL kickoff season.

WATCH OUT ROYALS! MEGHAN MARKLE IS WRITING A BOOK TOO!

As we previously reported, Meghan Markle is quietly working on her  own autobiography after her husband Prince Harry’s tell-all, Spare, became a worldwide best seller. Although Meg has yet to CONFIRM she’s writing this book,  my source reveals that not only has she written approximately one-third of the manuscript, but she’s even come up with the title. As of now – and remember this could change –  she wants to call the book Shade! The reason? The word used to be derogatory towards blacks, and according to the source, it is also the the word used by someone in the royal family questioning the possible skin tone of Meg and Harry’s then unborn son, Archie. As our source explains, Meghan feels the royals shaded her, so that’s why she chose that as the working title. Plus, Megan liked that Harry’s book had a one word title and she wants to follow in his literary footsteps.

MATTHEW PERRY’S REAL ESTATE IS SUFFERING – THANKS TO HIS BOOK

Is Matthew Perry’s former Century City condo cursed? In his autobiography, Friends, Lovers and The Big Terrible Thing, the late actor wrote about some DARK times in his penthouse condominium at The Century, one of the premier full service buildings in LA. Matthew eventually sold the condo to a tech billionaire, but the guy barely moved in before deciding it wasn’t for him, so he sold it to Rihanna for a loss. Now superstitious Rihanna isn’t sure SHE wants to move into the sprawling condominium, given the Matthew connection, so she’s thinking of selling it and might even have to take a loss. Even though he died elsewhere, the condo has a negative vibe since Matthew wrote about how unhappy he was there.

MATTHEW PERRY’S DEATH CAUSED JENNIFER ANISTON TO RETHINK HER LIFE

Just a few years ago, Jennifer Aniston revealed she had NO plans anytime soon to write her memoir, but Matthew Perry’s unexpected death has made Jen rethink this. Jen is obviously devastated and still in shock over the loss of her Friends costar, but she’s found some comfort in knowing Matthew was able to share his story – including his struggles with addictions – with the world before passing. According to a friend, Jen has had a change of heart at writing her own story so she’s quietly working on a manuscript. From her challenging relationship with her mom, to her time on Friends, and of course her failed marriage to Brad Pitt, Jen is ready to tell her story. My source says that well-mannered Jen won’t throw anyone under the bus, and is already reaching out to get permission from anyone she plans to mention.

BRITNEY SPEARS’ MEMOIR IS HEATING UP FAST

Based on pre sales, Britney Spears’ autobiography, The Woman In Me, is destined to be a bestseller, and that’s amazing since she has done very little to promote it. She only had a very controlled interview with People magazine, but no live TV hows like The Today Showwhere she could be pressured into embarrassing revelations. But Britney HAS decided she wants to turn her life story into a Broadway musical. According to a friend, Britney has been working with a producer to create a stage production based on her book. It’s in the earliest of planning stages, but with her book sales doing better than expected, my source says Britney and her assembled team shouldn’t have trouble lining up investors. But who would star as Britney in the musical?

SANDRA BULLOCK WILL TELL ALL FOR A GOOD REASON

Sandra Bullock is getting ready to spill the beans on her life story and it was her late partner, Bryan Randall, who encouraged her to do it. She’s lived through plenty of ups and downs, and among the highs are her adopted children and winning an Oscar. The lows include having her then spouse Jesse James cheat on her, and recently losing the love of her life Bryan to ALS. Through it all, Sandra has remained stoically tight lipped. After her divorce from Jesse, Sandra turned down millions to write her autobiography. It was Bryan who inspired her to tell her entire story and his, hoping to shed some light on ALS as well as inspire people with her perseverance. A publishing source reveals Sandra could get over $10 million for the book, and just in case we needed another reason to love her, she plans on donating the proceeds to ALS research.

It’s no secret that out of the three kids the late Ivana Trump had with her ex-husband Donald, she was closest to her daughter, Ivanka. According to a family friend, Ivanka wants to honor her mom by publishing a coffee table book on her opulent life.

She’s sorting through a lifetime of photos and is writing anecdotes to go along with the snapshots she chooses to include in her book.

BRITNEY’S BOOK DUE FOR A REWRITE – THANKS TO DIVORCE

STOP THE PRESSES – literally! We’re not sure HOW she managed to put this together, but Britney Spears’ much hyped autobiography, The Woman in Me, was SET to be released October 24. Of course, her sudden split from estranged husband Sam Asghari has thrown a major monkey wrench into that plan. According to a publishing insider, Britney devotes more than a few pages of her tell-all to singing Sam’s praises and those chapters will have to be rewritten to reflect the current state of their marriage. Our insider who has SEEN the manuscript reveals that the lovey-dovey parts about Sam read like fiction now, so those chapters of the book are being updated -this might delay the announced October release date.
