Madonna's Nanny Inks Deal With Crown Books

Posted on March 13, 2007

The tell-all book by Madonna's nanny is a go. The nanny, Melissa Dumas, has cut a deal with Crown Books to write Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna's Nanny. Melissa apparently never had to sign a confidentiality agreement before she began working, so she's free to tell all. And tell she does.

Madonna's house rules forbid anyone from making any noise while Madonna is sleeping. That means husband Guy can't take a shower or run water while she's getting her beauty rest. There is also a media blackout in the household: no magazines, newspapers or TV is allowed. Presumably, however, books are allowed.

The book is due out in September, 2007, and is sure to be a bestseller.

Update: Well, it would have been a bestseller. Crown has reportedly pulled the plug on the tell-all meaning Madonna's secrets are safe.
