A memoir, eh? So that means explicit details of Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's outrageous relationship, right?!

Well, according to Amazon's description, Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts, will be "spinning colorful tales of his modest (to say the least) Southern upbringing, his bizarre phobias (komoda dragons?), his life, his loves (including his heartbreakingly brief marriage to fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie)," so she will definitely be included in the book (although we'd still like to see that wild romance portrayed on the big screen).

But we could have all guessed that right off that bat.

How else is she linked to the project?

A rep for the book's publisher, HarperCollins, confirms to E! News that Jolie agreed to write the foreword to her ex-husband's book.

How nice is that?!

There is no detail as to what Brad Pitt's lady said about her former love interest, but according to the publisher, Thornton turned in his manuscript yesterday and the memoir will be published May 15, so we can find out then.

We know, the anticipation is killing us, too.
