Charlie Sheen is currently shopping his memoir and is expecting a big pay day.

There are countless full time writers who can't get published by a major house, but there are plenty of celebrities who, though seemingly barely literate, get book deals. How about giving them reality television shows and just calling it a day?

Are these BOOKS or DOORSTOPS? Well, at least maybe we should first find out how many POUNDS they weigh-in at.... Then again, we may already know enough...

I've never even heard of most of these people...

Every one is waste of good trees.

However, what's the deal with teasing the story with a picture of Charlie Sheen and then not giving him a slide?

I doubt most of these people read books, so why should they be allowed to "write" (we all know they really didn't) one?

Certainly, no one should read them.

You forgot Miley Cyrus' memoir, "Miles To Go." Hint, you are 17, of course you still have miles to go, so why are you writing your memoir?

Don't forget Bieber and Snooki

What about that snoogie or Snookie girl.... It was practically offensive that she gets a deal out of parting in Jesey.

Abandoned by wolves, raised by Republicans.

I wondered that myself. There's a Celtic-style singer/songwriter named Kate Price, but I think her makeup style is more natural.

A British starlet. Her antics are fodder for the press over there.

Is there an "All of the Above" option?

So, why was Charlie Sheen used as the hook but isn't part of the poll?
