Tony Curtis Claims Marilyn Monroe Miscarried His Child

Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Movies, Hook-ups, Pregnancies, Rumors

Curtis and Monroe in 'Some Like It Hot'While we uncover secrets in the wake of one icon’s shocking death, we are still uncovering mysteries regarding another icon, who passed away over 40 years ago. In a shocking revelation from his latest memoir (not so shocking), veteran actor Tony Curtis claims that not only did he have an affair with iconic actress Marilyn Monroe, but she miscarried his child.

Curtis asserts that the affair occurred when he was married to Psycho actress Janet Leigh and Monroe was wed to playwright Arthur Miller. Starting in 1950, he says that the couple were on and off, rekindling on the set of Some Like It Hot in 1958.

“When I was in bed with Marilyn I was never sure—before, during or after—where her mind was. She was an actress. She could play a part. She could give the part what she thought a man wanted. I never asked for more,” he writes.

According to him, the miscarriage took place shortly after Monroe’s husband, Miller, found out about the romance.

Tony’s memoir, The Making of Some Like It Hot, is due in stores this October.

Kendra Wilkinson is penning a memoir.

The 24-year-old former Playboy Playmate - who is expecting her first child with her American football star husband - can’t wait for the book to hit stores next year. She said in a statement released by publishers Simon Spotlight Entertainment: “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I have a husband I adore, a baby on the way, and now my memoir is going to be published!”

The tome, which should be available next summer, will cover Kendra’s childhood as well as the period she spent living at the Playboy Mansion when she was dating 83-year-old magazine mogul . It will also look at her TV career, which includes reality shows The Girls Next Door and her new series Kendra.

“The memoir will be a humorous, relatable, fish-out-of-water tale that captures the spirit of one of the most beloved Playboy cover models in history,” the statement added.

Simon Spotlight Entertainment’s Jennifer Bergstrom said: “Kendra is so genuine and funny that her memoir is sure to be unique, refreshing, and a reflection of the woman so many people have fallen in love with.”


George W. Bush Decides to Write a Memoir

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Where Are They Now?

George W. Bush

, the forty-third president of the United States of America, will put his thoughts to paper in a new memoir. The working title of the book is Decision Points, and the AP is reporting that it should be ready for publication sometime next year.

“I want people to understand the environment in which I was making decisions,” W. said over the phone to Associated Press reporters. “I want people to get a sense of how decisions were made, and I want people to understand the options that were placed before me.”

Bush famously coined the phrase “The Decider,” a title which he gave himself in defense of his War on Terror. Evidently, the book will explain to the public just what being The Decider means - in Bush’s mind, anyway. The memoir will explore a wide range of decisions, including his vice president selection of Dick Chaney.

No financial details on the book have been released.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies

Patrick Swayze and Lisa NiemiEven though he’s already opened up to Barbara Walters, still has a lot of story left to tell.

The 56-year-old and Lisa Niemi, his wife of 30 years, are currently working on a memoir that will hit the shelves this fall. According to Atria Books, the currently untitled project “will offer an intimate account of Patrick Swayze’s childhood, career and marriage, as well as his brave fight against a diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer, from which he has gleaned wisdom and has remained resolutely optimistic.”

Lisa will also contribute passages about her experience “helping a loved one battle a life-threatening disease.”

Swayze says his intention is to help those who might benefit from the book. “With everything I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I’m told that my story has been inspirational to people,” the actor said in a statement. “I will write from my heart about these experiences and aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful.”
