What celebrity autobiographies do you recommend, not for being good, but for being unintentionally and hilariously revealing of the author's trivial mind?

Ted Chiang:
"The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write [...]. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning."

I'm a family portrait photographer. In my job you become a good judge of character. I'm convinced that at a number of the kids I've photographed will grow up to be high profile murderers. I'm keeping the pics to sell to the newspapers when they are convicted.
