Amy Winehouse Turns Down Book Deal
June 27, 2008
Amy Winehouse has reportedly turned down a lucrative book deal because she feels she is too young to write her life story.
The always in the news singer has struggled with a variety of personal problems throughout her career, including drug and alcohol addiction and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil being incarcerated on charges of assault and perverting the course of justice.
But the 24-year-old star is adamant that she won’t be documenting her troubles any time soon - and the lure of a multi-million dollar fee will not change her mind. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star:
”Amy’s been battling off book deals for over a year, but the latest offer would have earned her millions.
“But she thought the idea was ludicrous and turned it down outright. Firstly, she feels she’s far too young at 24 and secondly, when she does get round to publishing her life story, she wants to write it herself. She doesn’t need a ghost writer.”

“Firstly, she feels she’s far too young at 24″
But not too young to get hooked on crack!
“and secondly, when she does get round to publishing her life story, she wants to write it herself. She doesn’t need a ghost writer.”
Maybe she can write it after she dies (which probably won’t be too much longer) so she’ll be a literal ghostwriter
