When family members cash in: New tell-alls about Britney and Madonna
To heck with autobiographies. If the stars won't tell their stories, find a mom, dad, brother, or cousin who will! Lynn Spears, mama of Britney and Jamie Lynn is writing about the life of her famous daughters though her eyes. Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World is due out in September. The Madonna memoir, however, is being written by brother Christopher Ciccone without Madge's cooperation or approval. While the siblings have worked together in the past (he designed and directed her Girlie Show tour and played a part in her infamous documentary, Madonna: Truth or Dare) they are now estranged. Sounds like someone is hard up for cash.
Do you think family members have the right to pen such books, or do you think they are inappropriately exploiting their relatives? Or would you read them either way? [People][Yahoo]
