\n[post_page_title]Hugh Laurie – The Gun Seller[\/post_page_title]

The British actor (yes he is British and can pull of an amazing American accent), and the House phenomenal actor, published his first novel in 1996, however when he handed the manuscript, he actually submitted it under a pen name so he wouldn’t earn the title ‘celebrity author’ that he was so dreading. The novel has been translated to French later.

\n[post_page_title]Rachel Dratch – Girl Walks Into a Bar[\/post_page_title]

\n[post_page_title]Macaulay Culkin – Junior[\/post_page_title]
\nWe’re not sure if the Home Alone child star intended to write an autobiography about his life, but in his 2006 Novel, Culkin, intentionally or not, lets the reader in by taking them on a somewhat twisted journey to the most private and darkest parts of his brain. The actor who has had a questionable adventure when it came to his stardom, writes seven endings to the story, which in a weird way, totally makes sense when it comes to him.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Britney Spears – A Mother’s Gift[\/post_page_title]
\nIt’s safe to say that the pop singer has been through many ups and downs throughout her life, including two failed marriages, but it seems like 2001 was a time for self-reflection for the music star.
