'Candid' Jackie Chan memoir coming in November. Jackie Chan is ready to share more stories about his amazing life and career. The star of blockbusters such as "Rush Hour" and "Kung Fu Panda" has a memoir coming out in November. Gallery Books told the Associated Press on Thursday that "Never Grow Up" is a "candid" account of everything from his youth with the China Drama Academy to his "numerous" near-death experiences on and off camera. The 64-year-old Chan will also write about making movies in Hong Kong and Hollywood and of his imperfections as a family man, according to Gallery, a Simon & Schuster imprint. Chan's other films include a remake of "The Karate Kid" and the "Police Story" series. His previous books include "I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action," a memoir published in 1998. (PageSix)

Liza Minnelli took a page from Mariah Carey's storied shade playbook on Thursday, pulling a classic "I don't know her" maneuver on Renee Zellweger. After Radar Online reported that Minnelli was bonding with Zellweger -- who is playing Minnelli's famous mother, Judy Garland, in an upcoming biopic -- Minnelli posted on Facebook: "I have never met nor spoken to Renee Zellweger." She added, "I don't know how these stories get started, but I do not approve nor sanction the upcoming film about Judy Garland in any way. Any reports to the contrary are 100% fiction." Radar took the original article down from their site. LD Entertainment and Roadside Attractions will release the Rupert Goold-directed film, which also stars Finn Wittrock. In the early 2000s, when Carey was asked about up-and-coming diva Jennifer Lopez, she implausibly -- and legendarily -- replied, "I don't know her." (Page Six)
