George Michael has signed with HarperCollins to write his autobiography in what the publisher said was one of the biggest book deals ever concluded in UK publishing. The deal for world rights was agreed by Belinda Budge, m.d. and publisher of Harper NonFiction UK, with Michael's manager Andy Stephens and his book agency, Grace.

The autobiography, which HC described as "access all areas", covering both Michael's personal and professional life, will be published in autumn 2009 by HC in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.

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

Budge added: "This is an incredibly exciting publishing event. George is one of the best known and best loved pop singers in the world, with an extraordinary story to tell. I am particularly thrilled by this deal, as I have long been a fan of George's. Most importantly, this really will be a truly authentic book— and an exceptional one, as he’s going to be writing it entirely himself."

слушайте, я конечно.. того но у меня почему-то сразу мысля промелькнула.. ну, и хорошо! а то у меня сейчас такой провал в деньгах.. вернее, будет, после поездки. Я книгу с диском (да еще если +блю-рей) могла бы и не потянуть... то бишь в долги залезать и залезла бы!
а теперь - вроде как даже легче стало и инглиш еще посовершенствуем! в общем, будет, чем заняться-то!

Michael Parkinson interviews: Helen Mirren, Richard Burton, George Michael
In his new book, 'Parky's People', Michael Parkinson recalls his most memorable interviewees.

George Michael – 'It seemed to me the more successful he was, the unhappier he became'

I think George Michael might have been the most forlorn pop star of them all. He was the one who never came to terms with adoration, success, riches. It seemed to me the more successful he was, the unhappier he became. Maybe, as he said in the interview: 'It’s the things that are missing that make you, not the things you have’.

When he came on the show in 1998, I had just begun my second stint at the BBC. He had just returned from the United States after he had been caught in an LA lavatory and arrested for 'lewd conduct’. I wondered how we might most delicately approach the matter, which, if you believed the media, was the question everyone – but everyone – wanted answering. He gave me the perfect opportunity.

George: Before we start, I wanted to say that this is a great honour for me because I can remember being eight or nine years old and my mum would allow me to stay up beyond a certain time in the evening only to watch Parkinson. She thought it would be a bit of quality watching. So I’m very, very privileged to be here.

Michael: Well, that’s very kind of you. It’s good to have you.

George: And she probably wouldn’t have been quite as thrilled that I had to take my willy out to get on here.

Michael: Let’s talk about that incident, which led you to be here tonight. What happened?

George: I think it’s fairly well documented by now. What happened was, I fell prey to one of these SWAT teams they have in America and I think they probably still have them in parts of England. But basically, they’re paid to nick guys who are looking for sex with one another, and the way they do this in the States, unfortunately, is actually to try and induce the crime and then, if they get a response, they nick the guys. Even though the police reports suggested that I was a flasher – I may be screwed up but I’m not a flasher! – what happened with me was I responded to something. And I responded to a very handsome, tall, good-looking American cop. They don’t send Columbo in there to do that. So I responded to that and I can’t be ashamed of the fact that it was there in front of me and I thought: 'Well, why not?’ It was a stupid moment and obviously I've suffered for it.

Michael: Of course, the police say in their justification, they’d had complaints of lewd behaviour in that toilet.

George: All about me, of course.

Michael: It’s been suggested that perhaps what you were doing is that you were begging to be arrested, so in fact coming out would be public.

George: Believe me, I wasn’t begging to be arrested. And I have to say I’ve had the number one album for the last four weeks, which I’m very glad of. If I was the bravest and most genius pop star in the world, maybe I would have done it deliberately, but probably not since the days of Wham! have I had a record that’s done so well. So, yes, I can see from my own point of view, there would have been reasons that it probably would have been quite a good idea to do it that way, but believe me, I would rather have run up and down Oxford Street naked, saying: 'I’m gay, I’m gay’, than have it happen the way it did.

В России выйдет книга с тайнами известных геев
http://kirov.kp.ru/daily/25643/807844/
"Геи давно стали очень важной частью гетеросексуальной культуры. Элтон Джон и Фредди Меркьюри, Джордж Майкл и Джанни Версаче, Кристиан Диор и Ив Сен-Лоран, Доменико Дольче и Стефано Габбана, Оскар Уайлд и Стивен Фрай, Петр Чайковский и Сергей Дягилев... Без этих имен невозможно представить современное искусство – музыку, моду, литературу, кинематограф. Их талант был признан современниками и продолжает восхищать потомков, их творчество навсегда вошло в золотой фонд человечества... Что послужило причиной первого в карьере Джорджа Майкла крупного скандала?"

я имела в виду не общую направленность книги, а чисто изложение фактов. Которые могут оказаться с любовью вывернутыми наизнанку.
Но, по-любасу, мимо пройти тоже выше моих сил
