40 Celebrities You Probably Didn’t Know Wrote Fiction Books

Many celebrities have made the transition from TV to movie or from acting to singing. So why not also from on-screen to in print? For A-listers, the tell-all memoir about living with fame, fortune, and best friends-turned-frenemies is a popular way to go. But others decided to try their hand at penning fiction or children's books.

Some celebrity-turned-authors have had more success than others. A few have admitted to using a ghostwriter. Even more have tapped into their personal experiences with Hollywood parties, paparazzi, and starring in reality shows as plot points in their works of fiction.

If you looking to sprinkle a little tinsel town onto your next reading list, here are 40 celebrities you didn't know wrote fiction.
