Looks like Billy Martin isn’t the only Good Charlotte member making news in the book world this month.   Vocalist Joel Madden admitted recently that he is working on a memior.

          It doesn’t seem like Madden is any rush to finish the book.  Most article I found quoted him as saying “If I put a book out.”   After that he would also have to actually sign a book deal but I doubt that would be any kind of issue.   Not to be negative against famous people but it makes it pretty easy to get a book deal.

          If you have ever listen to Madden’s lyrics, you will be able to predict how interesting his memior will be.  His father walked out he and his twin brother Benji were sixteen.   Both brothers took up jobs in order to help their mother out to support the family that also included two younger siblings.    Sometime later all the siblings actually decided to take their mother’s maiden name (Madden) because they wanted no association with their father. 

          Good Charlotte was formed when Madden was still in high school.  After some years they began playing small shows at bars and eventually got radio play.  After some time their first single, Little Things, made it onto the Billboard charts.  Many predicted that would be the last we saw of these boys but then Young and the Hopeless hit the shelves.  Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was the first single which gots the band many MTV gigs but it was far from being the only one.  The album brought a slew of megahits including  The Anthem, Girls and Boys, and Hold On.    The band also released “Chronicles of Life and Death” which did okay but not great, and “Good Morning Revival” which spawned another chart topping single,  “Dance Floor Anthem.”  The band is currently working on a fifth album.  They have gone from small bars, to stadiums, to big venues and everything in between.  I’m sure the book will have lots of interesting stories about their many tours.

          In another interesting life turn, Madden ended up dating hollywood party girl Nicole Richie.   The couple has a daughter named Harlow and is expected a second child.  They have been spotted buying blue baby stuff so it looks like it is a boy for this adorable family. 

          For Hawlow’s baby shower, the couple encouraged guest to bring only books as gifts saying they would love their child to have a huge libary of books.  Sounds like my kind of couple!!! 

        Richie and Madden also started The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation which helps mom’s and families to be with regular baby items that they otherwise could not afford.  Madden is also involved with UNICEF. 

          Sounds like more than enough life stories to fill a very interesting book.  I wish Madden the best of luck in continuing with the book.  I actually loved Richie’s book (it was girly and cheesy but that is okay sometimes) so perhaps she will be able to help her man out!

           Will you buy Madden’s book?
