Let's name George Michael's book

JANUARY 18, 2008

George Michael has just signed a $7-million publishing deal to write his own autobiography, according to the Associated Press.

"George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds barred biography, and it's certain to be just that," his manager, Andy Stephens, said on Michael's official website. "People aren't stupid, they're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the drivel the press come up with!"

HarperCollins Publishers Worldwide expects to publish the book -- so far untitled -- in the fall of 2009.

No title, eh? Well, that's too tempting. Come on, 80s nation. Time to help out a good friend in need. Let's think of a good book title for George. ("George Michael: Don't Let Your Son Go Down On Me"?)
