Tulisa to write three books
She's come a long way, has Tulisa. From little-known N-Dubz star from Camden, to X Factor judge (and winner), actress and fashion icon, she's now staking her claim as a writer.
The 23-year-old, who recently split up with boyfriend Fazer, has signed a deal with The Headline Publishing Group to write three books; one autobiography and two novels.

Tulisa: the next JK Rowling?
"I'm really excited to start work on these books," she said. "Having my novels published is a dream come true for me. I'm also looking forward to sharing my life story so far, I've got lots to tell. Headline is the perfect place for me to build my writing career."
"Tulisa is an incredibly talented writer and musician and, as her mentoring of Little Mix on this year's X Factor has shown, she is an inspiration for young women everywhere," said Sarah Emsley, the deputy publishing director.
She continued: "Tulisa's story has incredible breadth and depth for someone so young, and we are absolutely thrilled that she has chosen Headline to be her publisher."
The first book penned by the singer and TV star will be her autobiography, out in autumn 2012, and will then be followed by two novels published consecutively in 2013 and 2014.
Headline's managing director Jane Morpeth has commented on the first novel so far - apparently, it's rather good!
"As the early material shows, Tulisa has a wonderful grasp of plot and characterisation, and a clear, strong voice runs throughout her work. We are very much looking forward to working with her," she explained.
All we're hoping for is some juicy backstage X Factor gossip and some secrets about Dappy in her autobiography and we'll be happy!
Perhaps having a life pre reality tv makes people cynical about the potential worthiness of its `current` judges, and the masses of cash thrown at them for doing whatever, whereas post reality tv people buy into it, just as it should be, by the decree of sc, sf, and like. The list is endless of the takers, as is the money pot from the giver,s, just as long as they dont serialise it in the daily paper for the cynics to enfure, as def wont read the books, just have to risk being unenlightened, as with not reading the repetative stuff in the mags. Think most people would agree that celebs are wealthier, more famous, travelled, partied, designer dressed, photo,d, watched and admired, than most of the public are, so they are defined as having a happier life, be it much is superficial, most comment on here out of amazement at the sad life of people who want to read about any celeb and every level of celeb, publishers encourageing them, for a snippet about sc, or dappy, spun into a thousand forgettable words. as wit their songs. She can always ask Frankie to help with the spelling and geography, finishing touches to her masterpiece. Each to their own l guess.
Gasp ! shock ! Horror..! Is there no end to this multi talented genius, who's talent includes S*****g some A*******e called Dappy , Screeching on some useless talent show " Ma liddle moofins " and falling about drunk outside some nightclub, flashing her knickers at the paparazzi for some attention..! If this was an Olympic event this country would be top of the gold medal charts.! So what next for this " Nobel prize winner " Writing some book for kids called " Budgie the helicopter " ? No wait ! that's been done by some other airhead i think.?
Oh well i suppose she could always tackle some Quantum Physics , Or try solving the mysteries of the Universe...!
When I was younger my father encouraged me to read, a lot of manly books yeah that's a given. However, they all had interesting stories in them, they all had momentous historical events to refer to, they all had factual information between the covers.
What are these publishing companies trying to do to good writers? Run them out of the business with this tripe?
I remember seeing Paris Hilton in a film about wax museums, and it took me a moment to realise who she was, then I said... oh wait... She's not an actress! What's she doing in this motion picture?? Hmm that's some mighty terrible acting right there. So with this mind set I wander, what is a minor 'celebrity' from a pop group doing writing 3 books?? Does she have any qualifications that would prompt this interest in publishing? Did she even finish school?? Can she spell her own name?
I think not.
The 'Headline Publishing Group' you should be ashamed of yourself!
As Peter Griffin would say.... HAHA!!
All we're hoping for is some juicy backstage X Factor gossip and some secrets about Dappy in her autobiography. Come on! Really?? Come on! I don't know what I can possibly write here that would put across my total dismay that this woman is going to write not one book but 3! Who on this planet will read such crap? Moreover who would walk past all the 50 pence magazines, O.k, Hello, Grazie, and think 'nope i'm going to read all this **** from a book'? Blows my mind!! (In a bad way of course)
