Madonna & Spears tell-alls to be published

Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone, has written a tell-all titled Life With My Sister. The memoir is set for release July 15 with a first printing of 350,000.

Rumor has it Madonna has met with lawyers to discuss legal methods of stopping the publication.

"When she was meeting with lawyers and everyone was saying it was because she wanted to divorce Guy, she was really meeting with them to get the book killed," a source told E! News' Marc Malkin.

Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's rep, has not commented on the book; however, she did say her client has not talked to attorneys about it. Reps at Simon & Schuster, Ciccone's publishing house, have declined to comment on the matter.

But the material girl isn't the only subject of a memoir coming out soon.

Lynne Spears is reportedly writing a book about raising her two famous daughters, Britney and Jamie Lynn, her publisher told People.

"When Jamie Lynn got pregnant, it was put on hold," said a spokesman for Thomas Nelson, a publishing company for inspirational books and Bibles. "Lynne never stopped working on it because she wants to express her love for her children and tell their stories through a mother's eyes."

Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World is due for release in September. It "will not be a parenting book," the spokesman said. "It's her story of what it was like being a mom and raising two very famous people. It's a memoir."

It will be the second book for Lynne Spears, who co-wrote A Mother's Gift with Britney.

William Shatner talks about Star Trek and his memoir

William Shatner is best known as Captain James Tiberius Cook on Star Trek - but the Canadian actor wants people to know that there is more to him than that.

That's why he has written several memoirs and has a new one out called "Till Now," which is about his rise from a Canadian boy with a modest childhood to his current role, a self-spoofing Priceline.com spokesman.

Shatner spoke to Brian Braiker of Newsweek about the new Star Trek movie and a number of other topics.

He said that he has not been approached by J.J. Abrams, who is doing the bigscreen remake of Star Trek. "I know nothing," he said about the movie. "I had a meeting a couple times with J.J. Abrams, who actually came down one time to where we shoot "Boston Legal" to visit with me—and I don't know what it was about. He never called back, and I'm not in the movie. I'm disappointed."

He added that he is a little disappointed that he won't be in the movie.

"I would have liked to have been in the revival of Star Trek," he said. "More than that I'm fascinated by the business decision of not including that popular character and the actor who has a lot of popularity still, as opposed to anybody else in the cast who's either unknown or not in the public eye particularly."
