Cleese writing memoirs to fund divorce settlement
'Monty Python' comedian-and-actor John Cleese is writing his memoirs in order to help fund his £12.2m (€13.9m) divorce settlement from third wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
The book, to be entitled 'The Maintenance Memoirs', will be written by Cleese with an official biographer, with them each taking it in turns to write a page. The book is thought to be able to command an advance of around £2m (€2.3m) from potential publishers.
