Rob Lowe To Write Memoir 'Stories I Only Tell My Friends'

LOS ANGELES — Rob Lowe is taking on a new role: author.

Publisher Henry Holt and Co. says it will release the 46-year-old actor's memoir in May 2011.

The actor is handling the writing duties on "Stories I Only Tell My Friends," which details his experiences as an actor and father.

Holt president Stephen Rubin described Lowe's book as "a mid-career meditation on his four decades as an actor."

Lowe became a teen heartthrob in 1983's "The Outsiders" and has amassed more than three dozen film credits since then.

He is a star of the ABC drama "Brothers & Sisters" and recently appeared on the NBC sitcom "Parks and Recreation."

Chapter One: I was born with this face and the acting jobs came.
Epilogue: I was bored and wrote this memoir.

First story: "How I pissed away my career by leaving The West Wing in a huff, to star in The Lyon's Den, Beach Girls and Dr. Vegas"

TOC:
Chapter One: How I got away with statutory rape...
Chapter Eight: Fighting for the Republican cause and getting my buddy Arnold elected in CA.

I know a perfect place for his book - but it's a story I only tell my friends.
