DEB BROKERS BOOK DEAL... AND HUGH'S NOT HAPPY!

Publishers are fighting over her "bold" memoir

- 

Warring exes Deborra-lee Furness and Hugh Jackman made amends recently after two years of iciness, and an insider reveals the Aussie actress used the opportunity to dish about her big book deal!

BOOK BOMBSHELL

“Hugh had heard about Deb's plans but he didn’t really know until she told him herself during their secret meetup,” says a source of the former couple's decision to meet up multiple times in New York to try and pave the way to a new chapter in their relationship.

"He'd been warned early on that almost every A-list divorcee is approached to write a book but part of him hoped Deb wouldn't take that fat publisher's cheque."

Deb, 69, was spied leaving a New York publishing house, notes in hand, and the source says she's planning to tell her side of the story - from being married to Hugh, 57, for 27 years to adopting their kids and navigating life as a divorcee.
