Monica Lewinsky - Single, living with her mother and still struggling with her weight - but 'set to make $12m with a tell-all book about her affair with Clinton'

Rarely seen: Monica Lewinsky out and about in New York yesterday, with her famous hair hidden under a cap and trying to remain incognito with sunglasses - despite the rain

You all remember Monica Lewinsky, 39, the first picture of her in public for the first time in a year, paints a very different portrait from the young intern who achieved global notoriety after her sordid Oval Office affair with President Bill Clinton.

But her low-key life may not last much longer amid reports she is planning to pen an intimate, tell-all book about her affair with President Clinton that will plunge her right back into the spotlight.

 
She's been offered $12m to write the book, according to reports and it is said to include her intimate love letters to the ex-president and how he desired threesomes.

Is it revenge on her former flame? She certainly must have been aggrieved to watch as he managed to keep his family and career together in the fallout that followed the affair. But for Monica, she has never been able to emerge from its shadow and be known for anything other than that girl who wore that dress and had that affair.

There is no husband, as she dreamed of, no boyfriend, and no children, despite saying that she was 'romantic at heart' and that getting married and having kids was 'the most important thing to me.' 

After numerous failed attempts to reinvent herself professionally, there is no sign of a successful career either.

Information gathered that as she also continues her struggle with her weight, Monica now lives with her mother. She has moved out of the expensive apartment she rented for nearly a decade in the exclusive Archive building in Greenwich Village - where properties can cost up to $7,450-a-month for a one-bedroom apartment - and divides her time between New York and Los Angeles.

When she stays in New York, she lives with her mother Marcia Straus, who owns a penthouse in the city.

Monica you need a hobby.....Period
