[jos]

Does anyone know when Chantelle's autoboigraphy comes out?

[jjjjjjjju]

26th of october she is doing book signings aswell

[jos]

Great, thanks for that. That's also my birthday as well! :hello:

[Siouxsie]

what the hec can she write about her life shes only a kid what has she done apart from bb ??:rolleyes:

[chilledbootz]

I think it's silly to say it's an autobiography. She's had quite a year though. Plenty to write about there.

I've posted this before, but for those who didn't see.

[Siouxsie]

good luck to her and preston but im not a fan at all

[xGemmax]

Shes a bit young to have an autibiography isnt she?:conf:still, it might be interesting to read...

[jos]

Yeah, I agree she is a bit young to have bought an autobiography out. They all seem to be doing it these days though. 10 years ago it was only pensioners who used to bring them out!

[jjjjjjjju]

due out soon:colour:

[jd]

She's only 23 is she? i think she's to young to write her autobio

[Princess]

I can't wait for this! Be nice to read about her life instead of just post BB although of course the bit I'm most looking forward to is all the Preston stuff and hopefully some new Prestelle pics!!

[Jay]

Thanks for the warning :laugh:

[Ruth*Star]

i'm looking forward to this coming out, i've been wanting this, i'll get it for xmas i hope.

[Princess]

The silly NOTW teasing us like that. I want it right now!! I don't want to wait will 26th! Too long. Woooo I can't wait!!

[Princess]

Is it Thrusday week yet? No? Ahhhhhhhhh I can not wait 10 days! The NOTW are evil geiving us those pics and expecting us to wait!!! It's like the wedding pictures all over again!! *screams*

[Chrizzle]

Ooh cant wait!
Should be good to hear about her bullying experiences and stuff, as she hasnt really spoke out about it much!

How weird is that pic as a teen?

[Princess]

Which one? There was like loads. I'm too hyper! I hate waiting. Oooh yeah the bullying. That will be intersting. Poor Chantelle :sad: But new Prestelle stuff. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Chrizzle]

I know yaaaaay
Prestelle stuff rawks

Shes changed a lot
Brunette to blonde to brunette

[x-heather-x]

I dont think Ill be buying to be honest. I think she is too young to have an autobiography. I think she should wait a couple of years. But I supose she wants to get it out before the Press stop being interested in her. She hasnt really done an awful lot in her life to have an autobio has she. Apart from win CBB, become a celeb, marry Preston and spend money.

There, Ive just saved you's all £17.99.
Sorry to any Chantelle fans who are going to buy it.:wink:

[Chrizzle]

Since when are you a Chantelle expert?

Seem to think you know alot about her life:laugh:

[Princess]

Yeah just general note to people- Chantelle did actually have a life before BB! And people like Jade and Jordan have had books and I personally thought they were brillant. Chantelle has had a lot happen in her life as well and I can't wait to read all about it.

[x-heather-x]

No...all Im saying what has she got to say apart from that she won CBB, got married etc.

Exactly, well siad:thumbs:

[Princess]

Bloody hell. How small is my new avvie!! Grrrr photobucket! :mad:

[Princess]

I got mine today! Its come out early! I got it around half 2 and I finished it around 8ish. I actually COULDN'T put it down.
:spin:

It is a really really good book. I know I'm bias but it was really well written and was oh my god so cute! Well the last few chapters anyways. She doesn't reveal all which I think is good tbh. Chantelle has always been one not to say everything and I'm glad she stuck like that with the book. I cried actually a few times and I was hysterically at parts. And awwiwng of course! A brillant book. A must-read for all Chantelle fans! Absoulte legend!

[BigSister]

Thanks laura im going to put it on my list ^_^

[Princess]

Yay Becca! :bouncy: Go buy it everyone! I'll pay you! haha :wink:

[BigSister]

you dont have to pay me i was going to buy it anyway hehe

*breathes*Chantelle did actually exist before BB you know! Her life didn't just start when she went in that house! You ain't a Chantelle fan,I highly doubt you ever will be. You can't just well you can but you shouldn't go around saying Chantelle has done nothing in her life when you have no idea whatsoever what you has done and been through!!! :mad:

[Ruth*Star]

^^Exactly, Chantells life did'nt just begin when she went in big brother, shes writing about all of her life not just big brother and getting married.

[Jay]

If she wasn't in CBB she would have a book out? i don't think so :nono:, i don't class her as a celeb :shocked:

[Princess]

Well obviously she wouldn't have one out cos no one would know who she was! But thats not wtah you said. You said she hasn't done anything in her life besides win CBB and get married when that just isn't true. All people get famous in different ways and that was hers.

[Jay]

Whats she done other then win CBB and get married?

[Sophii3x]

She's quite young to have a aughtobiography isn't she!

[Princess]

You really should buy the book but anyways :rolleyes:

Will I start from the beginning? Well she was born lol. She had a good childhood in Essex doing such things as winning Majorette of the year and playing with her brother. She had a rubbish teenage life as she was bullied in secondary school by older pupils and it was so bad she couldn't bare to go to school. She left school went from crappy job to another hating all them them.Feeling horrible about it all. Wanted to model. She got into MCN squad and did some work there but was so broke that she really couldn't do anything else. She then did some Page 3 but from then on it kinda went downhill. She got into a horrible relationship and he made her and her dreams feel like s**t. She felt belittled and alone and like a failure. Every modelling agency was turning her down.She wanted to make something of herself and no one would give her a chance. She had 8p in her bank account. I hate this bit. She said she was sudicial.She just got out of this horrible relationship everyone was crushing her dream,she wanted to end it all. Then after a while when she felt a little better she went out with her mates and got brutally attacked for no reason whatsoever. She was emotionally and physicallt damaged.She couldn't go out for 6 months and even now is wary. It was about this time that she auditioned for BB6 and got through to a standby.When she didn't get in she felt miserable. No one wanted her dream to happen. Her life felt like to her like there was nothing in it. And then she got a call to go on CBB and well the rest is history......

So don't you go telling me that nothing has ever happened to Chantelle in her life!

[Jay]

I meant whats shes done since leaving CBB other then walk down the streets and pretend the camera's ain't there? she just annoys me and isn't a celeb IMO, im sorry but it's my opinion.

sounds like a good read, i would read it but i have no money ATM :(

[MarkWaldorf]

Sounds good :spin2:

[Princess]

It is really really good. My favourite parts though are in BB and post BB. I'm gonna read it again in a few days as I read it so quickly first time around! Go buy it everyone! :bigsmile:

[Princess]

Guess who is rereading already :blush2:

[BB-Rocks]

If you all want a good autobiography to read, id recommend Jodie Marsh's. It was brill. My first time reading someones autobiography and i loved it! I would recommend this to people. I doubt knowone is interested:bored:

Grrrr Jodie Marsh :mad:

[rachb]

I read Chantelle's book and to be honest it's a shame it was being sold as an autobiography.I think even as a story of her bb experience alone it was worth reading.
It has a good recap of her time in the house aswell as some of her life before and after cbb.
I did think she was too young to be doing her life story when I first heard she was but I knew I was always going to buy it because I like her:hugesmile:
and I really enjoyed it :hello:
I think if it had just been sold as her BB story people would give it more of a chance even if they weren't fans of hers.
I hope it does well.I'd much rather read a story by a normal nice girl than read 6 books by Jordan or jodie about their sex lives:shocked::tongue:

[krinzy]

i bought chantelles book today and im going next saturday to get it signed in lakeside cant wait :hello:

[jos]

I started reading Chantelle's book last night. I'm glad it starts right from the beginning of her life not just the big brother stage. I'm more interested in what she did before to be honest because we all know what happened in the house and afterwards.

[pinkprincess2k6]

I got it for my birthday and i read the whole book in one day - its wicked and she looks lovely in the pictures especially the ones of her and preston.

I'm reading it for the third time now and i've just had it over a week!

I really hope i can go to a book signing i'd love to meet her x

Book not selling well apparently...


Overpriced lives of the stars flop in bookshops
04.12.06

She may have had plenty of success on TV, but when it came to her autobiography Billie Piper was a flop — and she wasn't the only one.

Stars such as Jack Osbourne, Michael Barrymore and David Hasselhoff have seen their autobiographies head straight to the bookshop bargain bins since they were published this autumn.

Their books, for which they were paid advances ranging from £100,000 to £500,000, have failed to scrape into the top 20 bestsellers.

It is thought publishers were hoping to duplicate the success of Sharon Osbourne. The X Factor judge and wife of rocker Ozzy became the surprise publishing sensation of the past 12 months.

Her life story, Extreme, has sold almost 900,000 copies to date, making it the biggest-selling autobiography of all time.

But the memoirs that have flopped in her wake have left publishers counting the cost of the huge advances they paid to their writers.

Actor Rupert Everett was paid a £1 million advance for his autobiography Red Carpets And Other Banana Skins. However, it has failed to enter the top 20 non-fiction chart.

His book has been reduced to £11.39 on Amazon, down from its recommended retail price of £18.99. So far he has recorded only 20,000 sales.

Big Brother winner Chantelle's Living The Dream has sold even fewer and been slashed from £16.99 to £10.19.

Joel Rickett, deputy editor of The Bookseller, said: “It's been a gamble for the publishers. People saw Sharon Osbourne's book did very, very well and they wanted to follow that trend, but many of the new titles have not done very well.

“Many of them will sell less than 10,000 copies and some publishers will definitely lose money.”

However, one celebrity whose autobiography is selling well is comedian Peter Kay. His book, The Sound Of Laughter, has already sold more than 245,000 copies.

Victoria Beckham's That Extra Half An Inch is at number five in the top 50 with sales of 206,000 and chef Gordon Ramsay's Humble Pie, which has sold more than 109,000 copies, is at number nine.

Hmm I knew I should have bought like 20 :tongue:I kid. It is a good book but the probelm I think why people aren't buying it is it isn't juicy at all. She doesn't give much away(I'm on my 3rd re-read so I would know :blush2:) as Chantelle says its just like 'a modern day fairytale' when people just went people likes Jordans who go on about things like the size of her husbands you know what :rolleyes:

Here's a comment about the Chantelle book that appeared in a piece about celeb-bios in the Telegraph...


By Jan Moir
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 29/11/2006

Whatever you may think, it is not easy being a D-list celebrity. Chantelle Houghton went through suicidal hell before being catapulted to a certain kind of fame when she won Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 4 earlier this year. In Living The Dream, her autobiography rushed out for the Christmas market, the 23-year-old reveals that, boy, oh boy, did she have it rough in the early days. "Who do you ring when you've called every model agency in Essex and they don't want to take you on?" she wails in chapter four. A plastic surgeon, perhaps?

Still, mum was a brick, especially when the melodramatic miss wanted to end it all when even Page Three didn't want to know. "Poor Mum. What do you say to your daughter when she tells you that she doesn't want to live any more?" writes Chantelle, before popping around to nan's for egg and chips, and realising that life isn't so bad after all. Know why?

"The thing that made the most difference was plucking my eyebrows when I was 16. I can't imagine why I didn't do it earlier," she concludes.

Good grief. It's not just the banality of this type of celebrity memoir that makes you want to turn your face to the wall and sob, it's the empty predictability that stuns. In a titillating genre practically invented by mercenary topless model Jordan, the format remains the same; after the loving but troubled childhood comes the glossing of attributes, the plug for the new product, the false modesty and then the loud, squelching sound as the wannabe milks it for all its worth. And all this from kids who have little experience of real life — or the intellectual resources to cope with it even if they did.....
