DOCTOR WHO star JOHN BARROWMAN has reportedly signed a six-figure deal to write his autobiography. The gay screen and stage star, 40, will write his life story for Michael O'Mara publishers. A source says, "The book will be called Anything Goes, after the Cole Porter song and musical of the same name."

Well I read Billie's and it was pretty good....John's should be interesting too....

I dunno. People writing autobiographies when they haven't even lived half a life. Appalling!

Wonder when it comes out in Australia?

Billie Piper's already had three of them (two unofficial). Incredible, isn't it? Not to say, you know, she doesn't deserve it or anything.

There's not much a person can do about an unofficial biography (anyone heard about the Daniel Radcliffe one yet), it's the conceit of a 22 year old either writing an autobiography, or authorising one.

Unless of course they do a whole lot in 30 odd years and then die. I can think of one very prominent person who did that.

No not him, the music fella.

Well, if the person's hoping to make some money out of it, the biography/autobiography needs to come out while they are popular.

Plus, they can release further versions later...
