Bruce Springsteen is looking to add “author” to his resume. The rock star is reportedly working on his autobiography which is allegedly composed of voluminous journals that the singer has meticulously kept over the years. Although the Boss has yet to sell the rights to them, insiders are saying that his life story has the potential to be the biggest rock music autobiography of all time and get up to $10 million for world rights. Who knew? Bruce is also said to be looking to hire a research assistant to help him compose the rock autobiography. I thought he kept journals, why would he need help getting things straight?

We all know the music and media that our favorite celebrities are into but do you know about the books that influenced them? Jay-Z has provided O Magazine with the six books that “absolutely made a difference” in his life. The rapper lists his favorites as ‘The Seat of the Soul’ by Gary Zukav, ‘The Celestine Prophecy’ by James Redfield, ‘The Odyssey’ by Homer, ‘Outliers’ by Malcolm Gladwell, ‘Purple Cow’ by Seth Godin and ‘Nigger’ by Dick Gregory. I’m kind of surprised by some of his picks. Those are deep stuff man. I didn’t even know that he’s into that type of stuff.

“Slash” the autobiography!

â€˜Slashâ€™, an autobiography was written by Slash himself along with Anthony Bozza (who also helped write Tommy Leeâ€™s book â€˜Tommylandâ€™). The book is an intensely personal account of struggle and triumph, filled with stories of women, drugs, lawsuits, rehab, riots, and all sorts of debauchery.

A big part of the book is that for the first time, Slash tells the tale that has yet to be told from the inside of Guns â€˜Nâ€™ Roses: how the band came together, how they wrote the music that defined an era, how they survived insane, never-ending tours, how they survived themselves, and, ultimately, how it all fell apart.
â€˜Slashâ€™, a book is sure to swirl up controversy with its brutally honest stories straight from Slash himself. Readers can find more info on the book, Here
