Publisher Stops Book
Crown Publishing pulled the plug on a reportedly “explosive” tell-all being written by Madonn’s former nanny, Melissa Dumas, the author’s agent revealed. Madonna’s lawyers had reportedly pressured the publisher to drop “Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna’s Nanny.” The book was reportedly expected to expose details of Madonna’s marriage to film director Guy Ritchie, her alleged ironfisted household rules and the controversial adoption of her Malawian son.”I deeply regret that Crown decided not to move forward in publishing the nanny’s book,” agent Sharlene Martin said in a statement. Madonna’s rep Liz Rosenberg declined to comment on the proposed book or reports that Madonna’s lawyers exerted pressure to quash the book. The ex-nanny “had very little already on paper, it was very much a work in progress” when Crown pulled the plug, says a source. Crown may have had second thoughts because the book was likely to take longer to complete than originally expected, especially the process of legal challenges, publishing insiders said.
