Tell-alls: Madonna, Britney
Madonna and Britney Spears are about to get socked with tell-all books about their lives, PageSix.com reports.
Pop star Madonna may be the more betrayed. Her brother Christopher Ciccone, who had a falling-out with Madonna several years ago, has collaborated with journalist Wendy Leigh on an expos� of his sister for Simon Spotlight Entertainment, an imprint of Simon & Schuster � and it�s going to be �brutal.�
�It�s extremely graphic and devastating,� said a source who declined to give details. �He wrote it on the sly without telling Madonna. They want to put it out before her lawyers can get a hold of it.�
The book, due out next month, has a massive print run of 350,000 copies.
A friend of Madonna said, �We�d heard rumours, but didn�t realize he�d actually written it. He was there through the crazy years and has many stories to tell, I�m sure. He�s seen it all. Oh, my.�
Adam Rothberg, Simon & Schuster�s spokesperson, told the New York Post, �We don�t have anything to say at this time.� Madonna�s rep declined to comment.
Ciccone � a decorator/chef once described by Rupert Everett in Everett�s biography as �a solid raft for Madonna in the shark-infested waters� � was ditched by his sister after she hooked up with her now husband Guy Ritchie.
Meanwhile, singer Spears is the subject of a tome by investigative reporter Ian Halperin, the author of Hollywood Undercover: Revealing The Sordid Secrets Of Tinseltown and Bad And Beautiful: Inside The Dazzling And Deadly World Of Supermodels.
Halperin, who plans to offer Stalking Britney: Under Siege With Britney Spears to publishers next week, reportedly reveals �details of at least two suicide attempts by the troubled star,� as well as allegations by a drug dealer about her substance abuse.
