It’s just for fun. It’s not meant to be intrusive, unkind or creepy!
I would love to read a tell-all book by Graham Norton, based on the many interviews he has had with celebrities. I’d be interested to find out about awkward moments, diva demands, famous people who stand out for their friendliness, that sort of thing.
What about you?

Mine is intrusive 😩

I wanna know the gory details behind the politicians wives lives (Teresa may's husband doesnt interest me)

But the real nitty gritty - i wanna know who is well endowed, who has a humiliation kink, who has affairs

Princess Kate

Michael Jackson . Did he or didn't he

FloofyKat · 30/07/2026 21:08

Queen Elizabeth II for sure.
And Queen Elizabeth I would be pretty interesting, too.

Marilyn Monroe.

SpottyAlpaca · 30/07/2026 21:25

Another vote for Queen Elizabeth II. it can’t be anyone else really, can it?

Angela Metkel’s would also be interesting. She played such an important role in managing Europe’s relationship with Russia & Putin.

This exists!

Larry the Cat.

The things he nust have heard.

Queen Elizabeth II would be my first choice too.

The only other one I would love to read is Dolly Parton. She's had such a rollercoaster of a life and whilst she is very open about much of it I would love to know more especially about her marriage and late husband.

Dolly Parton has written a few memoirs/autobiographical books.

Yes I've read them all and I would recommend them. She was still very guarded about many parts though, understandably. She's truly a fascinating women I would love to know more.

ScottBakula · 30/07/2026 21:35

I have read quite a few autobiographies of people I really like and there is some stuff I wish I didn't know. Its changed my opinion, some in a good way some in a bad way.
So you'd have to take the rough with the smooth .

Richard III, did he murder the Princes or did Josephine Tey work it out correctly?

A tell-all account by Sally Walker, aka ‘Raynor Winn’ of how she embezzled large sums from her employer, elderly mother and PILs, and wrote a bestseller pretending that she and her supposedly dying husband had blamelessly been made homeless and decided to walk the South West Coastal Path with a tent.

I mean, it’ll never happen.

Heyhelga · 30/07/2026 21:44

On the basis they have to disclose the full honest truth in the tell-all, then probably the McCann's. Did they do it.

Comtesse · 30/07/2026 21:45

Nell Gwyn would be cool!
