Here are the next three on my list:

1. Adam Rippon
2. Andrea Barber
3. Jessica Simpson

Tell me more! What are some of your favorites? One of my new year's resolutions was more guilty pleasures in my reading!

Hmmm .... here's what stands out:

Good: Brad Goreski, Andy Cohen, Chelsea Handler's latest, Kathy Griffin, Ross Matthews, Cameron Diaz, Rob Lowe, Mindy Kaling (both), Trevor Noah, Leah Remini, Carole Raziwill (biography), Amy Schumer, Bethenny Frankel (they make you want to cook healthy, do yoga and earn money)
Bad: Gary Janetti, Snooki, Caroline Manzo, Lauren Graham, Lena Dunham (one I couldn't finish), Brandi Glanville (another I couldn't finish), Carole Radziwill (fiction)
Eh: Drew Barrymore's latest, Gabourey Sidibe, Simone Biles and Aly Raisman (both were really boring and it was like they were just reciting facts/stats), Teresa Guidice (the one after she got out of prison)

Did read Demi Moore's?

I am picking it up from the library tonight after work. I will give a full report. Maybe I'll just start a thread called "I Read Books Celebrities Author So You Don't Have To" and provide book reports each time I've finished a few.

Please do this!

I think this is what she is genuinely like. Sort of ditzy and idiotic but overall trying to do the right thing.

I love her!

+1. What a joke to be promoting sobriety while being f’d up. She’s loaded on something in that interview for sure.

Holy crap. Usually I think people exaggerate about these things but she is definitely loaded. Maybe it’s on purpose so she can write her follow up book, even more open book

Nah, she seemed nervous at first but calmed down 1/2 way through interview.

Agreed. Watch the whole thing. I think she is fine. A case of the nerves

But why? What does Jessica owe you? She is not obligated to share it with you or anyone else. Good for her for owning up to what she has. Because she clearly doesn’t have to.

She doesn't owe me anything, but if you're going to expose your addiction issues of your own accord than at least be honest about them. Otherwise it's just cherry-picking topics to stir up the maximum amount of publicity and attention for a carefully curated perception.

You didn’t mention but I really liked Gabrielle Union’s. I think she should do another since a lot has happened since then.

If you like rock ones-Steven Adler( Guns N’ Roses original drummer) and the fort by Motley Crue are good reading!

"Sexually abused as a child by a family friend" -- and then you find out it was just her and another girl her age playing doctor. Come on now.

So how much do you think Nick got in the divorce?

I thought the same thing. I've always heard/read that some "experimentation" between kids that age is pretty normal/typical. I know my friends and I did. One friend in particular was slightly older than me (about a year) and more..."dominant" but 40 years later, it's never occurred to me to consider that "sexual abuse."

The abuse she suffered began when she was six years old when she shared a bed with the daughter of a family friend.

"It would start with tickling my back and then go into things that were extremely uncomfortable," she wrote.

"I wanted to tell my parents. I was the victim but somehow I felt in the wrong."

All of the articles say the same thing though.

I didn't think she was on drugs on her Today interview. It looked like she had gotten botox and lip injections to prepare for her press tour.
