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

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.

The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie

Though the writing wasn’t completely stellar, I think it showed how much effort Nicole Richie actually put into writing this chick lit novel, and not wanting to have a ghostwriter. Some of the language perplexed me, and more than once was I confused at where the plot was going, but a strong finish kept me thinking about the characters and their lives even after I turned the last page.

The Beginning

Chick Lit Plus was started in October of 2009, and is devoted not only to books of the chick lit genre, but also interests of chick lit fans. Having so many different interests myself, it took me awhile to come up with a website that would tie all of them together. After discovering chick lit books about two years ago, I became fascinated with the different worlds I could escape to by opening the cover of books that were decorated with glamour, shoes, shopping bags, and of course- a loveable heroine. After reading an extensive collection, I decided I could turn my hobby into something useful, alas ChickLitPlus.com was created.
