At this very moment, Barack Obama, Amy Chua, George W. Bush, Malcolm Gladwell, and Mark Twain are sitting pretty on the New York Times Best Sellers list—and so are Jay-Z, Keith Richards, and Portia de Rossi. Further proving that you don't have to be a literary genius to make the list, Celebuzz rounds up 13 more celebs who can claim the title "NYT Best-Selling Author:"

  • Snooki: A Shore Thing
  • Kendra Wilkinson: Sliding Into Home

  • Chelsea Handler: Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea (among others)
