From Publisher's Marketplace:
Demi Moore's currently untitled book, chronicling her life and career, promising a candid narrative that will be framed by her complicated relationship with her mother, Virginia King, who died in 1998, and her own experiences as a mother to three daughters, to Jonathan Burnham at Harper, with Jennifer Barth editing, in a major deal, for over $2 million according to Crain's, for publication in 2012.
Michael Caine's second memoir, THE ELEPHANT TO HOLLYWOOD, the follow up to his 1991 book What's It All About?, the story of how he grew into a film star, his insider's view of Hollywood and the story of his career.
Legendary rocker and original KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley's memoir NO REGRETS, covering his childhood in the Bronx, his ups-and-downs and influences which catapulted him into a life of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, and what is was like to be one of the founding members of one of the most influential bands, to Jeremie Ruby-Strauss for VH1 Books, for publication in Summer 2011.
Actually, I have to say that all three of these have some narrative potential--they've all led some interesting lives. But $2 million?

That was my reaction, too: $2 million to Demi Moore! Wow! Does she really have a large enough fan base to warrant that? I can't imagine that that many people are going to buy her book. Unless people just want to know how she ended up married to Ashton Kutcher...
I always envision these memoirs in the remainder bins in about two years!
