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.

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.

Kardashian’s Have a ‘Hunch’ On Kourtney’s Robbery

Kris Jenner spoke on Ryan Seacrest’s morning show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, about the robbery that occurred at her daughter Kourtney’s Calabasas, CA home on October 17th. The robbers got away with over $100,000 worth of jewelry. Jenner was quoted as saying the robbery did seem fishy, because the thieves had to know when the cameras would not be rolling for the E! reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and also had to know when the alarm system was not activated. This suggests an inside job, and Jenner, who spoke along with Khloe Kardashian, is hoping to have the case solved quickly. One piece that was stolen, a watch, happens to be of great sentimental value to the family. The watch belonged to Robert Kardashain, the girls’ late father that Jenner had passed down to their first daughter, Kourtney.
