I have a confession to make. I am a celebrity "novel" junky. I've read it all from Perez Hilton to the Kardashians and let me just say, some are totally worth it, while others should get new ghost writers. I've even gone as far as gifting someone (who will remain nameless for her own protection) Spencer and Heidi's "book." Your Welcome (to those of you who I didn't send this book for the gift of not having to forever explain why it's in your collection, and to that special someone who received it - I know it's been enjoyed).
Some of my past favorites include Kendra Wilkinson's Sliding into Home (like you've never wondered what goes on in the playboy mansion!! And it's worse!), and Perez Hilton's Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide on Keeping up with the Hiltons (say what you want about him, but this book is hilariously true).
However, today I read a book that rocked my celeb loving world. Let me introduce you to Tina Fey's Bossypants. It is absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. I don't care if you aren't into reading (or whatever), don't like 30 Rock, or have a "thing" against funny books - Go out and buy a copy. Who cares how much it costs! Do it!
I love this book on so many different levels. I love it as a woman. I love it as a fan of her work. I love it as a fan of comedy. I love it as a fan of reading. And I love it as a fan of equality. And I assure you you don't need to feel the same about all of these things as I do. You WILL find something you love about this book.
So in conclusion yes, I have read Kardashian Konfidential (and it is the worst book known to man), but I promise you I'm right about this. To make it easier for you, I'm including direct amazon links to my favorite celeb books. Buy them!
It's funnier if you read his blog before he "changed" into a better person, but still good even if you just follow celebrity gossip. Plus it's cheap. Like real cheap.
What initially drew me to this book was the curiosity of a ridiculously old man having a ridiculous number of girlfriends, and while you will find the answer to all those gross mansion questions, you'll also probably be surprised that it's a pretty good book. The best part about it is that you get to learn about Kendra without having to deal with that obnoxious laugh.
This one's the kicker. Like I said, worth every penny. Without a doubt in my all time top five books I've ever read. Please do yourself a favor (especially if you're a female, but it would be excellent education for males too), and buy this book. Now. The link is right there. Super easy.
After being inspired by this read, I think I'm going to move on to Chelsea Handler and Ellen Degeneres. Keep an eye out for how those fair on my list of celeb novel endeavors, now that I'm officially out.
Do you secretly read trashy celeb books, too? What's your favorite? Have a different embarrassing (yet still PG-13) confession? You know what to do.
I will publicly apologize for giving you the worst celeb book, but I dont regret it for a second! You'd get your hands on it at some point and the up side is you didnt pay for it! ...Think of it as adding some color to your bookshelf :) I've thought about Chelsea's books just because I know they would be funny. I did however purchase the Tori Spelling books but havent gotten around to reading them. I think Im more of a celeb reality tv junky than book (as you know I dont read/dont have time to read/have minimal interest in reading) :) Give it to me in a series and Im all ears!
ReplyDeleteOh don't you worry, it was no worse than spencer and heidi, who obvi. take the cake. And it was pretty fun to read how horrible they were at writing. They should have taken that offer for a ghost writer after all! You have to read tina fey's book. I'm going to make it a house rule - live in my house, read this book. It's THAT good. It wont even feel like reading. It'll feel like dancing on a cloud with unicorns while laughing so hard you pee your pants. Seriously. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm downloading it on my Kindle as we speak :-)
