Celebrity memoirs can do more than revisit famous careers—they can completely rewrite the stories the public thought it knew.

At number ten, Paris Hilton used Paris: The Memoir to challenge the glamorous, carefree persona she had built in the public eye. She revealed painful experiences behind the character fans thought they knew.

Pamela Anderson followed with Love, Pamela, reflecting on Hollywood, relationships, fame, and the personal experiences that shaped her.

Brooke Shields took aim at Hollywood’s obsession with youth and the way her image was treated throughout her career in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old.

Matthew Perry’s Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing offered a deeply personal account of addiction, recovery, and his life behind the sitcom fame.

Then came Prince Harry’s Spare, which exposed painful family tensions and royal conflicts from his perspective.

Lisa Rinna, Liza Minnelli, and Leah Remini also delivered remarkably candid stories about Hollywood, family, and controversial experiences.

At number two, Britney Spears’ The Woman in Me became one of the decade’s biggest memoir revelations.

But number one may be the most unexpected: Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died, a brutally honest story about childhood fame, family pressure, and reclaiming her own life.
