Is LeAnn Rimes looking to get candid about her affair with now-hubby Eddie Cibrian in a tell-all book?
On Friday, an anonymous publishing source told E! News that Rimes' rep had been "putting out feelers" to find the right person to help pen her autobiography and "tell LeAnn's side of the story in her own voice."
The news came less than a month after Cibrian ex-wife wife, Brandi Glanville, told Twitter followers that she'd met with book agents to discuss a book about "surviving divorce."
But don't count on adding complementary Rimes and Glanville memoirs to your bookshelves anytime soon. On Monday morning, the 29-year-old country singer took to Twitter to shut down the book rumors and deny reports that she'd recently gone brunette.
"So you all know, I'm blonde & there's no 'tell all' book about divorce, marriage and 'my side.' I just laugh at a of this!" Rimes tweeted.
Still, the country star hasn't remained completely quiet about her affair with Ciberan, whom she met on the set of the 2009 television movie "Northern Lights." In June 2011, Rimes told Great American Country channel, "I know that I didn’t do it the right way... I didn’t have the tools to know how to do it the right way... I'm not glad it happened, but I know why it did."
Rimes and her ex-husband, Dean Sheremet, divorced in December 2009, three months after Cibrian split from Glanville, his wife of eight years. In April 2011, Cibrian and Rimes tied the knot.
If Rimes ever does decide to dish on her divorce in print, she certainly won't be the first celeb to do so. Click through the slideshow below to read excerpts from some of the juiciest post-divorce memoirs.

In 2008's <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/sTORI-Telling-Tori-Spelling/dp/1416950737" target="_hplink">sTORI Telling</a></em>, she discusses the demise of their brief union, including details of her affair with her current husband and former costar Dean McDermott. <blockquote>"It needed to end, but it could have happened in a nicer way. I wish I'd been able to communicate with Charlie from the very beginning of our relationship. And I should have handled things differently in the end. He's a sensitive, kind person. I know he would have listened. If I'd let our differences reveal themselves earlier...well, we might never have gotten married."</blockquote>

Of his second wife, Annette Kaye, he writes:
<blockquote>"After she got divorced, she told me she's done so because of me and insisted that I marry her. She could be very controlling, and I was never good at saying no. We were married at Broward City Hall. But I was young, and I wasn't going to be boxed in. I never lived with her. I can't remember seeing her much after the wedding--maybe a couple of times. Divorce papers were filed as a matter of course."</blockquote>
What Falls Away by Mia Farrow
Actress and activist Mia Farrow married her first husband Frank Sinatra when she was 21 and he was 50.

He pulled out documents just long enough to see they were made out in my name: they were an official application for a divorce from Frank Sinatra. I remember the unprofessional look of surprise as Mr. Rudin realized I had not expected his visit, nor did I know anything about the papers he carried. This was the first mention of divorce. I held myself together and signed all the papers without reading them. If Frank wanted a divorce, then the marriage was over."</blockquote>

And for the better part of the next twenty-four years, he wouldn't act like the man I married."</blockquote>
