Chaz Bono signs high six figure deal for memoir

[Honey]

Chaz Bono is currently undergoing the transition from female to male. Chaz, 40, is the once-daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono and was featured on their variety show as a young girl. He announced plans in June to become male, stating through a representative that he would “honor his true identity” after “many years of consideration.” Chaz is thought to be engaged to his girlfriend of several years, Jennifer Elia, and the two are rumored to be planning children through invitro treatments for Jennifer.
According to TMZ, Chaz has received a six figure deal for a memoir detailing his life and focusing on his gender transition:

Coming soon to a New York Times Bestseller list near you — the memoir of Chaz Bono.
TMZ has learned Bono sold the rights to a book chronicling his decision to transition from a female to a male. According to a publishing source, Bono signed “a handsome, six-figure deal.”
The book, tentatively titled “Coming Clean,” will be published by Dutton sometime in Spring 2011.

In June, the entertainment editor of The Advocate, Corey Scholibo, told Good Morning America that Chaz could become the most famous face of the transgender movement. “I think that he is going to be the most public face of the transgender community… For America, and for the world it will shed light on a community I don’t think they are all that familiar with and don’t really know that much about.” Chaz’s book could help a lot of us understand what it’s like to be trapped in a gender that doesn’t match our identity and how difficult it must be to come to terms with that and live authentically. There were stories in July that Chaz was considering some kind of reality show chronicling his transition and given all the pitfalls of that genre I’m glad we haven’t heard much more about that. This book could be a best seller for sure, and could go a long way toward helping people understand what it’s like to be transgendered. I only wonder why Chaz didn’t get a seven figure advance given the interest this book is sure to generate.

Lose the tits and that's a dude, easily. If Chaz works out while taking the hormones, he could feasibly get buff and lose some bodyfat.

Geez, he's really gotten big. The double chin is approaching triple, maybe quadruple status. Maybe when he starts on the testosterone, it'll start coming off easier? Most men I know can just lay off sodas and drop 15 pounds.

I dunno....I was thinking he actually looked a tad smaller.
