I read a lot of memoirs, it's one of my favorite genres, but I have read very few celebrity memoirs. The one I've read that comes instantly to mind is Michael J. Fox's, Lucky Man, which was wonderful. I recently picked up his latest book, Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist and hope to have time read it soon. The only other "celebrity" memoir I can think of that I've read (if you can even call her a celebrity) was by one of the Playboy bunnies about her time at the Mansion.
There aren't any celebrity memoirs that I am itching to read. It seems like we get an overload of celebrities anyways, and it seems like most of them wouldn't have too much new info to share.

I read memoirs too. But I prefer to read about real people, not celebrities!
Here is my BTT post!
Lucky Man is one of the two celebrity memoirs I've read, too.
I don't usually pay much attention to celebrity memoirs (or newspaper or mag articles/covers) but I am a great fan of BBC's Dawn French and have her "Dear Fatty" - written in letters-- sitting very near the top of my TBR pile.
I genuinely would like to read Michael J. Fox's "Always looking up," too. I <3 Alex P. Keaton!
Please don't hate on me, but I *am* a little curious about "Confessions of an Heiress" (yes, the Paris Hilton self-help book.)
On a serious note, "740 Park" is a book I've had on my TBR for years.
Good point. However! I must admit that Playboy bunny memoir had me curious. Just for a few seconds that is. :)
Thanks for commenting on my blog!
I have never read Michael J. Fox's book but I think I would like it. I love to read author memoirs!
I've always liked Michael J. Fox...don't know why I never thought to read his books.
I am the same, too. But for writers, celebs don't really interest me -- apart from a very small chosen few.
I must say, though since this meme started for this particular question, I have seen others mentioned that have piqued my interest! :)
Sassy

I really enjoyed 700 Sundays by Billy Crystal. It was about his realationship with his Dad.
