Lil Kim
Forgive me for thinking that people shouldn’t be able to benefit from breaking the law, but it seems if you’re a celebrity that’s just fine, as Lil Kim plans to write a tell-all book about her time behind bars.
The Lighters Up star, real name Kimberly Jones, was jailed in 2005 after being found guilty of perjury for lying about her former-Junior M.A.F.I.A. pals Suif 'Gutta' Jackson and her co-manager Damion 'D-Roc' Butler's involvement in a 2001 shooting in Manhattan, New York.
She walked free in September 2006 after serving 10 months of a 366-day sentence, and now she's hoping to give inspiration to others in prison in The Price of Loyalty. She tells OK! magazine, "It's about the time when I stayed in prison, the things I learned and went through.
"You don't think about things until it happens to you. The book is going to give people who have been in those situations a bright outlook on life."
Regardless of what I think about letting people with criminal records profit from their crimes, the book will be released later this year.
