Are You Interested in Reading Russell Brand's Book?
After introducing himself to American audiences playing a smug British rock star in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russell Brand went on to host the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Still, he's not quite yet a household name on this side of the pond.
So it's interesting to find his memoir on bestselling lists here in the States.
Katherine Heigl to Take On Carolyn Jessop's Polygamy Story
Carolyn Jessop's memoir Escape will be adapted for the big screen, with Katherine Heigl attached to star and produce, Variety reports.

You guys managed to find an intriguing mix of books I love and books I've never heard of but now really want to read!

The great ones prove that truth really is stranger than fiction: Some of my personal favorites include Augusten Burroughs' Dry and Mary Karr's The Liars' Club. Other, meanwhile, have actually turned out to be fiction — I'm looking at you, James Frey.

Zooey Deschanel Is With the Band
I've always had a bit of a girl crush on Zooey Deschanel, and not just because of her films. The actress has become a hipster darling of sorts thanks to her cute retro look and side gig with She and Him, which is why she seems perfectly cast for HBO's dramedy I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie. Deschanel has signed on for the new series, based on Pamela Des Barres’s memoir about running around with musicians and movie stars in the late '60s.
Buzz In: Which TV Star's Memoir Would You Love to Read?
I've admitted before that I'm a bit of a Saved by the Bell fanatic. I followed Zack Morris and the gang from Miss Bliss's classroom to Malibu Sands to Vegas, and I was pretty excited about a possible reunion. They spent so much time on my TV, I felt like I knew them.

Buzz Gift Guide: Mommy Dearest
What to get the woman who raised you? She may not be as hard to shop for as grandma or dad, but I still have a few ideas. Mine is a Dancing With the Stars fanatic, so I'm snatching up their new workout DVD.
The Boys Are Back: A Quiet Film With a Few Heart-Tugs
Has Clive Owen — a man who's best known for playing con artists, spies, and other brooding alpha males — gone soft? It appears so, and he's surprisingly good at it. In The Boys Are Back Owen plays Joe Warr, a recently widowed sports reporter raising two boys in the Australian wilderness.
