Yeah, I'll read that.



Guess who's writing a memoir?

Alive and kicking from New York, it's Tina Fey's book deal!

Amid reports of particularly egregious bidding wars, Fey's rep has confirmed the Saturday Night Live cum 30 Rock cum Saturday Night Live star has continued in her quest for media domination and indeed signed a book deal.

Details are being kept under wraps, with no official word on subject matter, release date or the value of Fey's contract.

What has been confirmed is that Little, Brown & Company will release the would-be best-seller.

Last week both the New York Post and Observer reported that Fey was entertaining offers in the $5-6 million range and that the tome would not be a memoir, but "nonfiction humor," most likely a collection of humorous essays.

While Team Fey and her publisher are mum on the money, reps for both did confirm that the deal included a gift to the nonprofit group Books for Kids to help stock school libraries in New York City.

I'm not an avid viewer, but I've enjoyed the episodes I've caught here or there. It looks like Sarah Palin did some good...for someone.
