AceShowbiz - Gabourey Sidibe is going to tell all in her upcoming book which will be published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2017. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I'm writing a book!" she tweeted, before joking, "I'd better learn to spell without auto correct."
In a statement, she said, "I've been writing since I was a child and have always had so many stories to tell that are too long, shady, and impolite to share in interviews. It brings me much joy to add Published Writer to my resume of Actor and part-time Foot Model."
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Senior Executive Editor Deanne Urmy stated, "Moving from Bed-Stuy to Senegal to Cannes, as Gabby has done in a still-short lifetime, has helped produce a fierce, wise way of being in the world impossible not to admire. 'Funny' doesn't begin to capture just how irreverent and complex Gabby's stories are."
Gabourey Sidibe, 32, shot to fame after playing the titular role in 2009's "Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire". She went on to star in movies like "Tower Heist" and TV series such as "The Big C" and "American Horror Story". She is also a part of "Empire" cast ensemble.
