Stars keep writing books, and the Us Weekly staff keeps reading them. 2025 produced memoirs from all corners of Hollywood, including by Josh Gad - who shared celeb secrets from Broadway through his time in L.A. - and by Priscilla Presley - who didn't hold back when it came to discussing her life after Elvis Presley. Jeremy Renner also offered fans a detailed account of his New Year's Day accident in 2023, which nearly took his life, in the book My Last Breath. His sad story was also paired with some levity, however, like the hilarious story he shared about Jamie Foxx. Keep scrolling to look back at some of the most unexpected celebrity name-drops from memoirs in 2025: How Priscilla Presley Remembers Daughter Lisa Marie in New Memoir: Quotes Josh Gad's Viewing Parties With Johnny Depp Josh Gad started off the year strong with tons of anecdotes about celebrities throughout his career. However, the one about Johnny Depp in his book, In Gad We Trust, might just take the cake. When filming the 2017 movie Murder on the Orient Express, Depp and Gad would watch "old YouTube videos" together, the actor wrote. The clips - like "Charlie Bit My Finger" - totally "blew Johnny's mind," according to Gad. Naomi Watts' Admission About Billy Crudup's Balls In her January book about menopause, Dare I Say It, Naomi Watts offered a lot of information about her husband Billy Crudup's nether regions. Watts detailed her experience with hormone patches in the book, explaining that they leave a mark on the skin "that's very hard to get rid of." The actress was thus "mortified" the first time she and Crudup went to sleep together. "He told me he thought it was great I was taking care of myself, and he asked me how he could help," she recalled. Crudup also said, "Hey, if it makes you feel better: I've got gray hairs on my balls." Watts wrote, "Those to date remain the most romantic words I've ever heard, onscreen or off, and that includes the script of every movie I've ever been in." Why Michael Caine Wrote About Taylor Swift Legendary actor Michael Caine had nothing but praise for Taylor Swift in his March book, Don't Look Back, You'll Trip Over: My Guide to Life, citing her as an example of a celebrity whose accolades are well-deserved. "You know, she was a country singer to start with? And now she fills stadiums all over the world, with audiences of 100,000, and politicians are desperate for her to support them. That's extraordinary," he said. "You can just tell how much hard work lies behind what she's achieved too. It's no accident. She has really earned her success, and it hasn't come overnight. She's down-to-earth, which is almost always part of it. Not spoiled by all the accolades and money. That's impressive." Jeremy Renner's (Sort Of) Conversation With Jamie Foxx Flatiron Books Jeremy Renner reflected on his near-death experience on New Year's Day in 2023 with his February book, My Last Breath. Following the accident, the Marvel alum was admittedly "so high" on a "combination of opioids for pain and benzos for sleep" that he saw a lot of things - including Jamie Foxx. "When the curtains didn't respond, Jamie Foxx did. He was in my room quite a bit (he wasn't)," Renner wrote. "We talked about this and that (I talked, he didn't say much because he wasn't really there); we went snowmobiling together (we didn't - for a start, there's no snow in Southern California)." Scheana Shay's List of Ex-Hookups Even the most casual Vanderpump Rules fans know that Scheana Shay's tenure on the show began with a high-profile dalliance - with Brandi Glanville's then-husband, Eddie Cibrian, who went on to marry LeAnn Rimes - but in her memoir, she revealed a much longer list of ex-lovers. "I said to myself, OK, Scheana, you've tried dating (or at least hanging out and hooking up with) all of these celebrities - Jesse Metcalfe, Eddie Cibrian, John Mayer, Shemar Moore, Josh Hopkins, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Adrian Grenier, Ricardo Chavira, William Tell, two actors from The Notebook, and a few NFL, NBA and MLB players, to name a few - and that's not really working out," she wrote in My Good Side, explaining why she decided to take a break from dating famous men. "It's time to switch things up and date someone who's under the radar: I didn't want any of the fanfare or complications that came with being linked to someone famous. I wanted to be with someone who was grounded." When asked about the list for her Us Weekly cover story in July, Shay quipped, "I feel like if a 40-year-old Scheana was single and not a mom, I couldn't get the guys I used to get. I don't know how I did it in my early 20s - people don't believe me!" Charlie Sheen's Ping-Pong Game With O.J. Simpson Charlie Sheen crossed paths with the late O.J. Simpson while on set with his father, Martin Sheen - and they played ping-pong together. "I got into a heated and surreal game of ping-pong with that same man by his other nickname, The Juice," Charlie wrote in The Book of
