Britney Spears Audio Book co-narrated by her and mystery Star

[Gimme More 35,393]

Britney Spears' memoir is coming out soon, but only a part of the story is going to be told in her voice when it comes to the audio version -- the rest will be handled by a surprise celeb guest ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the publisher of "The Woman in Me" tell TMZ ... Britney has already recorded the voice-over folks will hear when they buy the audiobook, but we're hearing she only recorded herself narrating a portion.

We don't know how much she recorded, but we've been told she did not narrate any chapters having to do with her family -- and, presumably, much of the book will cover that topic. Our sources say she didn't record audio for those sections because she found them too painful to retell in her own words.

So, as a remedy ... another celeb was tapped to record the rest of 'TWIM' -- which comes out on Oct. 24 -- although it's unclear who was on the mic. Our sources tell us the publisher was really pushing for Reese Witherspoon to pick up the baton, but she wasn't available to do it.

We're told only female celebs were approached, and they eventually landed on someone suitable who's completed the recording ... and the whole audiobook is ready for the masses.

My bet is Shania Twain since she is also on the soundtrack of Crossroads and wrote Not a Girl Not Yet A Woman.

TMZ is always on Britney’s case for no reason so they obviously know who it is I wonder why they decided to not say who

the secret project

It must be somebody relevant to Britney's trajectory so my bet is Madonna

hmm.. I'd guess Paris Hilton first, then maybe someone like Oprah or Gayle King, someone in the media & journalism field.

please let it be Cara Cunningham (fka Chris Crocker) 

edit: jokes aside, I need it to be someone with a southern accent just like Britney's

The fact that she can’t record her own memories makes it more painful that I have ever thought. That book will be very difficult to read. Poor Britney

No but seriously, I don’t even know if they know each other but my first thought was Kelly Clarkson, I have no idea why

My money is on Christina Aguilera. She could even sing some parts to make the family bits extra excruciating.

I think it'll be Drew Barrymore or Paris Hilton as she's close with them.

my first thought was Lindsay Lohan 

but it should be: Britney, Paris and Lindsay, of course. Bring back the Great American Dynasty)
