Carey's kids' books


Mariah Carey is planning to turn her life story into a series of children's books. The troubled diva held talks with publishers about an autobiography late last year, but is reportedly now planning to fictionalise her struggles for young readers instead.
The proposed series would carry the same name as her forthcoming clothing line - Automatic Princess - and feature a mixed-race girl "navigating difficulties and misunderstandings [and] making the world a better place." Carey, who is part-African American, Venezuelan and Irish, played a similar role in the flop semi-autobiographical movie "Glitter" as aspiring singer Billie Frank.
Children's books have become big business for celebrity writers - Madonna's third book, "Yakov and the Seven Thieves", will be published on June 21. Her previous efforts, "The English Roses" and "Mr. Peabody's Apples" have topped bestseller lists.
The proposed Automatic Princess titles are still in the planning stages, and no books are likely to be published until 2005 at the earliest.
