What does a young Hollywood starlet-actress, and a science fiction star have in common? Books. Star of the TV pop-culture hit "The X Files" Gillian Anderson and Lindsay Lohan, star of the pop-culture film hit "Mean Girls," are both coming out with books soon.

Both pop-culture stars are sticking to what they know. Anderson, along with another writer, will be co-writing a science-fiction novel, while Lohan is looking into writing an autobiographical trilogy. This marks for the first time writing a book for both of these stars.

Back in the 1990s, Lohan's life inspired many tabloid stories, and now she will have the chance to write her own.

Anderson, along with the best selling author Jeff Rovin, will be working on a supernatural/science-fiction thriller titled "A Vision of Fire." Simon & Schuster will be debuting Anderson's novel, the LA Times reported.

Anderson's Earth ending saga is expected to be part of a series of books that will launch Simon & Schuster's "Simon451" -- a new Simon & Schuster imprint publishing that will debut science fiction, fantasy, dystopian fiction, apocalyptic fiction and stories related to the supernatural.

"Vision of Fire" is about a single mother, child psychiatrist Caitlin O'Hara. O'Hara's world is changed after she meets a teen client who starts speaking in tongues. The client is the daughter of India's ambassador to the United Nations.

The story also involves a young Haitian girl who starts to scratch at her throat after she supposedly drowns on dry land. There is also an Iranian boy who suddenly sets himself on fire. Strange actions committed by teens seems to be happening worldwide. O'Hara character believes that these events have something to do with her father's most recent assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, Lohan's three-part volume will be based on journals that she has kept and written over the years. Her memoirs are expected to have a lot of photos and "cool stuff," the New York Daily News reported.

"I want to put a lot of photos and cool stuff," Lohan said. "It will probably be like a trilogy, like Harry Potter, because there's so many."

For Lohan, writing has been like a therapy for her over the years.

"Since when I was a kid and stuff and I think I have a lot to say," Lohan said. "I feel like my book will be more about that than anything else because there's the excitement of the life that I have lived, but I've seen a lot and if I can help anyone that might feel like it's OK to screw up. It's OK to feel lonely, or ugly or to feel overweight or underweight."

Lohan has yet to secure a publisher or even an author to work with. Anderson's novel "A Vision of Fire" is set to debut in bookstores on Oct. 7.
