I am fairly certain that you could read a 2022 celebrity memoir every day this year and not run out. I would have been writing this for weeks if I tried to include them all! Some of the biggest, easily recognizable names with memoirs coming out that I couldn’t squeeze in include Jennifer Lewis, Selma Blair, Jennifer Grey, Minnie Driver, and Paul Newman. (I can’t wait to read what Grey says about filming Dirty Dancing! Dish on Patrick Swayze, please.) Some of the most incredible memoirs I have read have come from celebrities. In fact, my favorite memoir is Rat Girl by musician Kristin Hersh. But whether you read memoirs for the hot goss, or a shocking story, or to learn more about the world and the people in it, this list has something for everyone. And who knows? Maybe some day, I’ll be reading your memoir.
