Celeb autobiographies

    Kate Moss is to pen her autobiography, and if anybody has got a few salty stories to tell it's the Croydon-born supermodel. She joins the swelling ranks of celebs who have turned scribe...

    She may be hoping to emulate glamour model Jordan, who has published three enormously successful autobiographies and more saucy ghostwritten novels - becoming a one-woman publishing sensation.

    The late Jade Goody also confounded industry experts by publishing two very popular autobiographies. And her posthumously published account of her battle with cancer could outsell both her previous tomes.

    It's not only the girl celebs that are cluttering up our bookshops with their life stories though. Comedian Russell Brand scored a Christmas bestseller in 2007 with his 'My Booky Wook' - which told of his unusuall childhood, drug addictions and rise to TV stardom.

    'Voice of an Angel' singer turned TV personality Charlotte Church has also managed to squeeze out two books in her relatively short life so far - but then she did start quite young.

    Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan probably has his bestselling memoir The Insider to thank for his career rehabilitation after getting fired from the Daily Mirror over faked photographs.

    Kerry Katona is another star who managed to write two autobiographies before she was 30. But those tax bills don't pay themselves, so we'll let her off.

    Remember when a young Wayne Rooney burst onto the soccer scene as a teenager? It wasn't long before he was penning an autobiography at the tender age of 20.

    And swiftly after that his then girlfriend (and now wife) Coleen was getting in on the act with her own tome, entitled 'Welcome to My World'.

    Gordon Ramsay's autobiography tells how he made the switch from bright young footballing prospect to top chef - but he was revealed this year to have over-egged some of the claims about his achievements on the pitch.
