Demi Moore will write her book for HarperCollins. While she hasn’t been burning it up with movie roles like she used to, her reps at Janklow-Nesbit are closing a deal worth $2 million,. The book will be edited by Jennifer Barth, backstopped by publisher Jonathan Burnham. They are still negotiating delivery date and making a deal with a co-writer. The book is not a trip down memory lane for an actress who got her start as a member of the Brat Pack. She met with publishers to personally pitch the book, which isn’t a memoir but rather a specific story about her complex relationship with her mother, and how it impacted her life and career.

*rubbing sleep from his eyes* i’m sorry, just woke up. Demi Moore has a book? Wait, is she still acting? I think the world is just as interested to hear what she has to say as we do with the likes of Jenny McCarthy, Tori Spelling, and Patricia Heaton. YAWN! Give the 2 million to a Louisiana fisherman fucked over by BP.
I’ll 2nd that!
What? Who’s even remotely interested in her?
No trip down memory lane? So no inside details on how this one woman brain-trust decided changing the ending of THE SCARLET LETTER was a GOOD idea? Bummer. That (and how the studio agreed to the blasphemy – as well as casting her in the first place) would be funny enough to support an entire memoir.
Fifty young, talented authors who would’ve appreciated a $40K advance to write books that might’ve jump started beautiful careers just got fucked!
Bravo!
foreward written by Rumor. My two dads, Bruce and that kid who sleeps with my mom. I mean come on. Save the tree’s and give the money to the person who cleans the pelicans on the gulf coast. Their story is more interesting. Then “there and back again” by demi moore willis kootcher
Who’s Demi Moore?
So many young, talented writers have struggled and continue to struggle, their voices often never published. Demi Moore gets two million to write a “book” when it’s likely she’s never written more than a letter. I understand the reality of celeb gossip, but there’s something just so wrong about this.
You are sooooo right!
All the book publishers care about is how many celebrity names will be in the book. Celebrity sells. Demi can certainly stuff the book full of names and at the same time not offend anyone. Give readers what they want and at the same time, pocket some money. Good for her.
The only thing Demi is known for these days is how an older woman snagged a younger man. If someone held a gun to your head and demanded you to name 5 Demi Moore movies, could you do it without stalling?
Nice woman but honestly, who cares?!!!
The Publishing Industry is running scared. It’s all about the $$$, of course. They now purchase stories by committee. It used to be up to the editors to find and bring in a good deal for their publisher. This encouraged writers and readers. Now purchase decisions are made in a boardroom on some ring in Dante’s inferno. Mid-list authors are relegated to third-world publishing. Even those who’ve been on the Times list are finding it difficult to land a contract. This Demi-story (yes-it’s a pun) is just the type of drivel publishers hope will sell lots of copies.
Would be hilarious if this was just a segment of ‘Punked’ and as she delivered the manuscript to her alleged editor, Ashton jumped out and busted her on camera — now that would be funny!
Wait did anyone ever think to ask if Demi has even read a book? Did you see her Trophy boy try to talk politics. Oy. I think she’s getting punk’d by ashton, hahahaha fooled you nobody wants to read a book by you Demi.
Demi who?
I can’t imagine anyone is interested in a book by her. I guess she sold the book on the back of the following she and her husband have on Twitter. Maybe they will buyt it, but it should not be more than 140 characters.
If the publishing industry is to thrive, the people behind this idiotic deal will be out of work next year.
To the commenters complaining about all the “young, talented” writers who will suffer because of Moore’s book deal – COME ON! Moore’s book, even if it underperforms, will still sell many more copies than the first books of any of these “young, talented” writers whose careers need a “jump start.” It’s a decent investment by HarperCollins – a smart deal. If anything, a bestseller by Moore (and I doubt this book will be huge, but it will still get on Oprah, if there is still an Oprah show, get lots of free publicity – crucial for any book in this market – and sell) giving the suffering book industry a much-needed boost. Instead of bitching about how this will affect other writers (and why always “young, talented” writers? why not older talented writers, who are, um, the majority), think how a successful book, as with a succesful movie, is helpful to all writers. HarperCollins would have more money to spend on advances by young writers, and older ones as well.
Spare me. Those young writers won’t get Demi’s money if she turns it down. The ones who have talent will eventually find a way to get published, and few of you will likely read their work when they do. So really the only question is whether there are other celebrity confessionals you’d rather see comissioned – Conrad Baines? Bristol Palin?
Wait. There’s more than one Conrad Bain?
