Caitlyn Jenner Biography: Title, Release Date Announced

Caitlyn Jenner is a reality star, an activist, a parent and an Olympic Gold Medalist.


In just a few short months, however, the transgender celebrity will be able to officially add yet another title to her ever-growing resume:


Author.


The stepfather of Khloe, Kourtney, Rob and Kim Kardashian has confirmed the release date of his upcoming memoir.



The book will be titled “The Secrets of My Life”* and it will be available for purchase on April 25, 2017.


(*We know Caitlyn has been very busy ever since her transition, but couldn’t she have spent a few extra minutes thinking of a more personal and unique title?!?)


The memoir will be written in collaboration with Buzz Bissinger, who penned the famous Vanity Fair cover story detailing Jenner’s transition to womanhood in April of last year.


The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Friday Night Lights author was Jenner’s first choice as a partner on the project.




Caitlyn Jenner book


Jenner has lived quite the life. There will be a great deal to cover in this biography.


According to various sources, the memoir will go into Jenner’s childhood and career as an Olympic decathlete, for which she won the Gold Medal in 1976.


Long before she was better known for what her relatives were up to, Jenner was one of the most recognized and respected athletes on the planet.


The memoir will also delve into her three marriages (including the most recent one to Kris Jenner, of course), along with relationship with her kids, before getting into her transition and current experience as the world’s most famous transgender woman.


We expect this to be a best-seller.



There’s been talk of late that Caitlyn isn’t getting along so well with her family.


Was she really snubbed at Kendall Jenner’s 21st birthday party? There’s been talk that she wasn’t invited to the shindig.


Was she really told by Rob Kardashian to stay away from his daughter? There’s also been chatter that Caitlyn is yet to even meet his precious little grandchild.


Perhaps we’ll have fewer questions about Caitlyn’s world in April after the book comes out.


With Bissinger helping her write it, we can safely presume that this effort will be far more worth our time than past books released by members of Jenner’s family.


From Kris Jenner’s cookbook to actual novels penned by Kylie and Kendall Jenner, these people have somehow been under the impression that people want to read what they have to say.

Marlon Brando & James Dean: Gay Relationship Revealed in New Biography?

It’s impossible have a conversation about the biggest film stars of the 20th Century without mentioning Marlon Brando and James Dean.



The two screen icons revolutionized movie acting in the 1950s, and over the years, their private lives have become as legendary as their onscreen performances.


After just a trio of starring roles, Dean was killed in a car accident at the age of 24. 


Brando lived to be 80 and continued to work until his final years, but his life was frequently touched by tragedy, including the suicide of his daughter and the imprisonment of his son for murder.


Now, the authors of a new biography about Dean claim the premature death of the handsome young star was the first major loss in Brando’s life, as the two actors allegedly fell in love while carrying on a secret homosexual relationship for several years.


The book contains long-buried interviews with several of Dean’s friends, including famed composer Alec Wilder, who had this to say about the affair just before his death in 1980:


“They were definitely a couple. Of course, the words ‘sexual fidelity’ would be unknown in each of their vocabularies. Jimmy and I used to sit and talk for hours in my room at the Algonquin Hotel (in New York).


“He kept me abreast of the affair. I really believe that Jimmy fell in love with Brando that year.”


The writer Stanley Haggart, another friend of Dean’s, claimed that the actors often engaged sado-masochistic sexual activities, which involved Brando putting out cigarettes on Dean.


Haggart claims Brando’s delight in tormenting his young lover extended to every part of the couple’s relationship:


“I got the impression that Jimmy was engaged in a cat-and-mouse affair with Brando, with Brando being the cat, of course,” Haggarr said. “Brando seemed to be toying with Jimmy for his own amusement.


“I think Brando was sadistically using Jimmy, who followed him around like a lovesick puppy with his tongue wagging.”


As with the alleged affair between Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken, it’s unlikely that any definitive evidence proving or disproving the relationship will ever emerge.


It’s worth noting that Brando admitted to carrying on affairs with other men several times throughout his life, and there are photos that suggest he and Dean enjoyed, if nothing else, a very close friendship.


Of course, no one aside from the late actors will ever know if the relationship between two of Hollywood’s most towering legends ever went deeper than that.
