George Michael NewsAndrea sends us George Michael signs multi-million pound deal for ‘no holds barred’ memoirs, which says in part:
George Michael has signed a multimillion-pound deal to pen a “no-holds-barred” autobiography, it was announced today.
HarperCollins said former Wham! star Michael, 44, would write the “access-all-areas” autobiography “entirely himself”.
Publishers said the deal is “one of the biggest ever concluded in UK publishing”, but would not divulge figures.
The following “Eli Stone” titles are based on George Michael song titles:

Here is a positive review of “Eli Stone” from someone who has seen the pilot: Strike TV: “Lost”, “Eli Stone”, “Law & Order” are Scripted Bright Spots
… premiere of Eli Stone, a super new drama series from Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Brothers & Sisters) about a successful attorney at a cutthroat law firm who begins to experience life-changing visions. I saw the first cut of the pilot for this show last spring and thought at the time that it was the second best freshman show of the 2007-08 season (after Pushing Daisies). ABC chose not to schedule it last September, but the fall’s loss is the spring’s gain. If the overall quality of its pilot holds up, Eli will do much to help fans of scripted programming through the prolonged ordeal of the strike.
(On a side note, I read at an “Eli Stone” unofficial forum that the pilot had been leaked to the Internet. Has anyone seen it?)
Here’s something I ran across that’s just for fun and not news:
