  • God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F--ked By Darrell Hammond

    12/12/2011

    You should recognize Darrell Hammond as the impressionist on Saturday Night Live who plays the bottom-lip-biting-thumbs-up Bill Clinton or the foul mouthed, Trebek-hating Sean Connery. You may know he’s the longest running cast member on the show. You may know that he does a killer Donald Trump. But what you probably don’t know is that he had a severe drug and alcohol problem, that he cut himself out of desperation, or that he suffered from depression and borderline psychosis. Of course, this might not come as a surprise to you.

  • My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business by Dick Van Dyke

    09/28/2011

    While reading this book, I constantly had people coming up to me (having seen Dick Van Dyke hamming it up on the cover) and exclaiming “Oh, I just love him!” Reading his memoir, only serves to reinforce this perception of Dick Van Dyke as a decent man and a talented entertainer. There is a particularly poignant part of the book where as a young man Dick Van Dyke made a very simple decision that he was absolutely not going to be involved in any projects that he would not be completely comfortable watching with his children.

  • And Furthermore By Judi Dench

    09/23/2011

    The Dame. When a lot of people think about Judi Dench, they think about her iconic role in Shakespeare in Love where she played Queen Elizabeth under pounds of makeup and costume. She’s a legend and been around acting for a long time. One would think her autobiography would be full of revelations and adventure. One would be wrong. Sprinkled throughout the book, Dench mentions different journalists who have asked her extremely personal questions. Their brazenness disgusted her then, and she made it clear in the beginning of the book that, even now, she wants no part in discussing her private life.

  • Stories I Only Tell My Friends By Rob Lowe

    09/17/2011

    The title of Rob Lowe’s autobiography - Stories I only Tell My Friends - has an incredibly appropriate undertone to it. As opposed to his philosophy on life or meditations on how his career progressed, the book is a collection of anecdotes from the Bratpacker's fractured career. Some of the stories are charming, like the home movies he made with Sean Penn and Emilio Estevez as teenagers, and some are salacious insider celebrity stories, like his passionate affair with Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

  • Empire State Of Mind By Zack O’Malley Greenburg

    06/28/2011

    Despite its eponymous subject's refusal to cooperate, Zach O’Malley Greenburg reports on the man behind the business - if the business and the man can be separated at all. In telling his story O’Malley interviewed important figures from Jay-Z’s past to present an investigative saga of Jay-Z’s rise from the projects of Brooklyn (his name is rumored to be a tribute to the J and Z trains) to his swanky Tribeca pent house the reported $34 million dollar annual income and world recognition as one of the biggest names in hip-hop that he now enjoys.

  • Naked Mom By Brooke Burke

    04/23/2011

    Here are some things I learned from Brooke Burke’s book (try saying that three times fast), Naked Mom: Brooke Burke, host and former champion of Dancing With the Stars, is the type of lady you would probably call if you wanted to go out for quick pedicure and some girl talk. Brooke is good mom with cool kids, a nice house, a dedicated soulmate for a husband, and a busy schedule. Dancing with the Stars is really hard and time consuming. She runs some businesses. She likes using “LOL” in contexts that are neither the Internet nor text messages.
