Write Your Own Irish Memoir
Culture Buzz In honor of yesterday's annual four leaf clover-fest, a Mad Libs inspired fill-in-the-blank where you can compose your own irish memoir — even if you're not Irish! Here's a sample from mine: These were tough times for the McWeber clan. A blight had destroyed all the H20, and we had just burned the last of the females in the house to stay warm. Still, we had faith in our monkey that He would be merciful and soon swallow the lot of us in our sleep.

Michael Stipe, “Twat Waffle”
Celebrity Buzz The R.E.M. frontman has been allegedly been dubbed “Twat Waffle” by Sara Barron, a former waitress at a trendy New York restaurant who claims - in her upcoming memoir People Are Unappealing - that he and his posse rang up a bill of $2000 and left no tip after dining for over five hours. Allegedly, he wouldn't talk to the waitress either, instead delegating one of his 19 hang-ons to make the demands.

The Bush Memoirs
Politics Buzz Laura may be getting her own book; George, on the other hand, can't find an interested publisher. Poor Bush — low approval ratings are bad news for shopping a book proposal, especially in a down economy. Maybe he needs to start drinking again, head to rehab after Obama's inauguration, then battle his addiction and go on a national speaking tour and then try to sell his book.

Behind the Bell
Culture Buzz Screech is writing a tell-all about Saved By The Bell. With ’90s nostalgia kicking into high gear, Screech (aka Dustin Diamond) couldn’t have timed his memoir moment better. The book promises to reveal “sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying” — but coming from a man who’s already peddled a sex tape, will it really be all that?

The Night Of The Gun
Culture Buzz A new memoir, from New York Times columnist David Carr, is sort of the anti-made-up bestseller. Carr’s retelling of his long struggle with drugs is buttressed by serious reporting, not just his own recollections — interviews and documents support his investigation into his addiction, the birth of his twins, his struggle with cancer and his eventual return to the working world.
