8 Honest (But Photoshopped) Celebrity Memoir Covers

Posted by Verena von Pfetten

Celebrities have this nasty habit of writing autobiographies that really read more like a James Frey memoir. Holy Taco took it upon themselves to put mock up some covers for celebrity autobiographies that are, well, a little more truthful.

 We're not going to reprint their post in it's entirety, but have instead pulled out a few of our favorites. Mario Lopez (above) comes in at the 7 spot, while Stedman (below) opens up the list at number 8.

 

 We then have Manny "I'm-kind-of-fat-and-mostly-lazy" Ramirez at #4. 

 

 And our personal favorite, everyone's least favorite anti-semite: Mel Gibson. (#6, in case you were wondering.) 

 

View the rest, including Spencer Pratt, Tori Spelling, and Matthew McConaghey over at Holytaco.com. What do you think? Anyone missing? Feel free to give us the celeb and the title in the comments. This is gonna be fun.

A lot of what passes for criticism and humour nowadays resembles nothing so much as teenage snarkiness and high-school cattiness.  Maybe I've just grown up...I can hardly wait for everybody else to do it too.
