By Matt Gorman · Monday, Nov. 16,2009 8:31 p.m.

An examination of the book showed no evidence that it was even written on 100 percent recycled paper.

Perhaps I’m old fashioned, but I thought autobiographies were the sort of things that old, dying people scraped together to preserve a memory of their legacy – not another way to cash in on a waning 15 minutes of fame.
