Jodie Sweetin Drug Bombshells

Just a few of the bombshells from her book include snorting meth in a bathroom stall at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s New York Minute premier in 2004, starting ecstasy in high school and moving on to meth in college, and being removed from Candace Cameron’s wedding after getting so drunk she vomited- at age 14. Sweetin says she has been sober since December of 2008 after almost losing her daughter in a custody battle, and credits going to AA meetings and staying away from people that have drug and alcohol problems to her continuing sobriety. Jodie Sweetin’s memoir, unSweetined, is due out on November 3rd.

Star by Pamela Anderson
Chick Lit Review

Star by Pamela Anderson

Anyone who enjoys anything about celebrities and the Hollywood gossip will need to put Star on their list of must-reads. And the surprising author? None other than famous, shameless, yet loveable Pamela Anderson. Star is undoubtedly based off of Anderson’s real life- being discovered in a tight t-shirt at a football game, appearing on covers of men’s magazines, donning a tiny one piece in a TV show about lifeguards-but what I really enjoyed about this book is that it is not all fact. There is fiction written, and as a reader we can try to guess what is real life and what is not

Skinny-Dipping by Claire Matturro
Chick Lit Review

Skinny-Dipping by Claire Matturro

Matturro gives readers a sexy, sassy, determined, and witty heroine, but mixes in just enough legal jargon to make this thriller truly suspenseful. I loved that the villain is not indentified until the very end, as with many mysteries readers can pinpoint them within a few chapters. This aspect ups the intensity and need to keep turning the pages. The plot zips by quickly with a mix of memorable characters, including a depressed Rottweiler and an albino ferret, and they add an ingredient of humor to this enjoyable first novel from Claire Mutturro.

Chick Lit Review

The Second Wives Club by Jane Moore

The Second Wives Club by Jane Moore gives readers an inside look at four different women and their lives. Friends Alison, Fiona, Julia, and Susan all have something in common- they are the second women in their man’s life. Alison has just married Luca, and his first wife Sofia is using their two children as leverage to manipulate her ex. Fiona has her husband’s teenage son as a hurdle, whose mother is trying to turn him against Fiona. The gorgeous and perfect Julia does not understand her husband’s insistence of keeping his ex-wife in his life, especially with no children in the picture. Susan is not a wife to Nick, but lives with him and is helping to raise his daughter after the unexpected death of his young wife Caitlin, the perfect wife and mother.

October has been breast cancer awareness month. Pink has popped up everywhere, from the grocery stores, makeup counters, and even the NFL.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Evicted from Melrose Place

Melrose Place is going to be short a few residents. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, along with Colin Egglesfield, have been let go by the CW series, as reported on UsMagazine.com. Executive producers are saying that this cut was known before the series started, that the characters would have a limited run on the show. They are shooting down rumors that the cut happened because of poor ratings, or anything to do with Ashlee’s acting abilities. Simpson-Wentz’s last episode will air in January.
