There is no shortage of books written by celebrities. From cookbooks (Chrissy Teigen, Snoop Dogg, and Reese Witherspoon) to home decorating tomes (Diane Keaton) and even some attempts at fiction (Steven Martin and Tyra Banks), plenty of celebs have tried their hand at the writing life. But the most common kind of celebrity book is, of course, the memoir. With memoirs by everyone from former Housewives star Brandi Glanville to former first lady Michelle Obama, it might seem like we're full up on this genre.
But are we satisfied with all the memoirs out there? Heck no! There is nothing that is a more riveting read for a celebrity gossip fan than a really juicy, no-holds-barred, all-the-tea-spilled memoir. A wonderful example of this kind of memoir is Jessica Simpson's Open Book (really, it is SO GOOD) because she wasn't afraid to reveal the messy truths about her life as a teenage pop princess turned reality star turned mom and business mogul. Thinking about her mix of humor, truth, and gossip bombs makes us dream about the celebrities we wish would drop their own totally honest tell-all books.
Read on for the celebs who we think would have the best tell-alls if they decided to really spill the tea!
Kris Humphries
Sure, Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian were famously only married for 72 days, but we think he's got some stories to tell about what really happens behind the scenes with the Kardashian clan. Sadly, we suspect this one will never happen, though, as everyone knows that matriarch Kris Jenner loves an NDA.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears is said to be working on a memoir right now, so this wish may actually come true. Hopefully she's feeling empowered to tell her truth now that she's broken free from her conservatorship of 13 years. Let's also hope she has an editor to help the book come together. (We love ya, Brit, but your Instagram captions tell us that an editor will be your friend!)
Katie Holmes
OK, c'mon! Who doesn't want to finally know all of the details about what really went down with Katie Holmes' marriage to Tom Cruise (and drama-filled split)? In addition to having one of the most mysterious divorces ever, Katie Holmes has also had a long Hollywood career, so we suspect she has more than one juicy story to tell.
Meghan Markle
We suspect that Meghan Markle is too classy to ever really spill all the royal tea, but we'd buy a tell-all from the Duchess of Sussex in a hot second! Prince Harry is supposed to release his own memoir later this year, so that will probably have to satisfy our curiosity for now.
Kate Middleton
Just to be fair, we'd also totally wait in line at the book shop if Kate Middleton ever wrote a tell-all. Again, it will never happen because Kate is far too proper and keen to maintain the picture-perfect royal image, but her version of what the "Waity Katie" years were really like and how she really feels about her sister-in-law Meghan would be so interesting.
Nicole Kidman
If Nicole Kidman ever writes a juicy tell-all, we think it should be sold as a package deal with the Katie Holmes memoir we're hoping for. It would be so interesting to read about her life after Tom Cruise and what the real deal is with her relationship with her older children now.
Jennifer Aniston
Although she told Glamour magazine that she has no intention of writing a memoir because she has "nothing to memoir about just yet," we totally disagree. She's had an amazing career and some incredibly high-profile relationships, and we know that she's got some stories to tell.
Pete Davidson
Do we want to read Pete Davidson's accounts of his rather prolific dating life? Well, yes. We are that nosy! But his tell-all could also provide some interesting glimpses into how he manages his mental health and what life at Saturday Night Live is really like for a young comedian. We'd read those chapters too! (And we're totally here for any details he wants to spill about girlfriend Kim Kardashian.)
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has lived enough life to provide content for at least three tell-all books. We'll take one devoted to her wild-child days, one about her multiple marriages, and then one all about her life as a mom, advocate, and global peacemaker.
Harry Styles
Harry Styles is the boy band crush of a whole lot of moms, and we're sure that many of them would love to know if it's really true that he has a thing for older women. He may be young (though not that young, so no shade to the moms who crush on him), but he has some stories for sure.
Beyoncé
The only thing Beyoncé would need to tell us about her tell-all is that there is a chapter called "Becky With the Good Hair" — we'd be ALL IN! Honestly, she could just write about the Lemonade years and it would be an instant bestseller.
Michelle Obama
Yes, we know that Michelle Obama has already written a memoir, Becoming, that was a massive hit. Even though it was honest and interesting, it definitely doesn't tell all the stories we know she has. We want the tell-all that includes the gossip she only shares with her best friends when she's had one too many glasses of wine!
Taylor Swift
It can be super fun to listen to Taylor Swift's music and find all the little Easter eggs that hint at real-life stories. But we'd love to curl up with a full-length book about all her many high-profile romances and her journey as a musical artist.
Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss could write a great tell-all. She's smart and interesting, and there's no doubt that the globe-trotting supermodel life is an adventure. But she's also got that Taylor Swift connection (What happened there? They were best friends until they weren't, and we want to know why!), and Ivanka Trump is her sister-in-law, so there has to be some dirt there too. Write it, Karlie!
Khloé Kardashian
We don't want a memoir from Khloé Kardashian unless she tells the full, real, unvarnished, non-photoshopped truth. But, man, imagine if she did decide to really spill her guts and we found out if she thinks Robert Kardashian is really her biological dad, what really happened during her relationships with Lamar and Tristan, and how much plastic surgery she's really had. That would be SO JUICY.
