Years before she became the “voice of reason” on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City, Carole Radziwill was already a New York Times bestselling writer. Her first book, What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love, spent over twelve weeks on the prestigious bestseller list. The incredibly moving memoir chronicled Radziwill’s impressive career at ABC News, her marriage to Anthony Radziwill (the only son of Polish prince MORE
One of my favorite people on Twitter, the adorably talented and hilarious Jeffery Self (a must follow—@JefferySelf), has a brand-new book out inspired by the overly popular 50 Shades of Grey, called 50 Shades of Gay! The book has already become an overnight e-bestseller, so don't miss out on what everyone is buzzing about, it's a totally sassy and delicious read, so go pick up a copy on Amazon. Inspired by E.L. James’ international MORE
You might have already heard about this new book, Arm Candy: A Celebrity Escort's Tales From The Red Carpet, as it has been making the rounds on a number of talk shows and news programs. It was written by an old acquaintance of mine named Christopher Gaida, who I briefly worked with back in my NYC days in the late nineties. Since then he has become an in demand Celebrity Escort, helping celebs out when they attend various events, making sure MORE
It’s no secret that Brandi Glanville is not your typical “housewife.” Since her debut appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in the reality show’s second season, the former model has always had a distinctly edgier and sharper flavor than her 1% cast-mates. As friend and co-star Lisa Vanderpump likes to point out, Glanville’s bluntness and tendency to always speak exactly what’s on her mind is both one of her best MORE
At this point, Lindsay Lohan's famewhoring parents have divulged enough dirty details about their daughter's life that we can basically pinpoint the precise moment where they ruined LiLo forever. But of course, you can never not make enough money off of destroying a human being you created, so now both Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan are getting their own tell-all book deals. This is such a crime against American literature that I'm pretty sure God MORE
WINNERS: @SweetNeicy44 @sharker102s @KarenSSmidutz @oHIoKit @leisawoo Today marks the release of famed author Jackie Collins' (yes, legendary actress Joan Collins' younger sister) new book, The Power Trip. This is her 28th book (Can you believe she's 75? She looks FAB!), and is bound to hit the New York Times' bestsellers list, just like all of her previous sassy, soapy and scandalous books have! When it comes to reading, this is totally MORE
Did you know Brandi Glanville has her own book out? Yes, really. Apparently, the only requirement necessary to write a book these days is to be able to write famous. Anyway, apparently the book focuses on how LeAnn Rimes seduced Brandi's ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, by having him lick whipped cream off her boobs in front of Brandi, and now LeAnn is freaking out because everything we already knew about her is being confirmed. RadarOnline reports MORE
Proving once and for all that at least some, tiny fraction of the universe is good and just, the wonderfully talented Amy Poehler signed a book deal with It Books to publish a collection of anecdotes, short stories and advice, and I don't even care when it's out Amy, just take my credit card now and I'll wait here for your book to come out. I don't care how much it costs, just bill me and I'll be happy to read your book. Via Hollywood Reporter MORE
Hey everyone! I totally miss DJ Paul V.'s weekly mashup column here on PopBytes, but since he retired the column (after bringing us three hundred tasty mashups), he has gone on to become a published author! He started this amazing blog called Born This Way, which collected childhood pictures and stories from people reflecting on memories and early beginnings of their innate LGBTQ selves! The blog took off like wildfire and now there's a book MORE
In stores this week, Faitheist details author Chris Stedman’s tumultuous and ultimately inspiring journey with religion. In his late childhood, Stedman became a “born-again” Christian after longing for a sense of community. But as he grew older and began to accept the fact that he was gay, his church became his enemy. He vehemently distanced himself from its intolerant attitude and subsequently, its community. Unlike his religious MORE
As much as we love Britney Spears, she's not necessarily someone we look at and go, "Yes, that's someone who should write a book." But since Britney is famous and that's apparently all you need to get a book deal these days, MTV reports that she's now in talks to write a novel. A novel. You know that novel you never finished because you were worried it wouldn't be any good? Well, don't worry, the bar just got set a little lower. Britney Spears MORE
Some of Ke$ha's lyrics include such gleaming gems as "Now that I'm famous, you're up my anus," and "No, I don't want your mangina," so get ready for an entire book full of Ke$ha's deepest and most personal thoughts, because according to Entertainment Weekly, she's finally releasing her memoirs. Whether the book will be pop-up or coloring is as of yet unannounced. “In less than three years I’ve gone from being the worst waitress in L.A. to MORE
Because your kids are never too young to be forced to do something well outside of their intellectual and experiential comfort zone, Kendall and Kylie Jenner (who are fourteen and sixteen) are writing their first young-adult book. Well, maybe I shouldn't say 'write'. Or 'book'. Honestly, I want to make fun of the celebrity ghost-writing machine here, but these kids are still in their teens and I can't in good conscience make fun of teenage girls. MORE
I've purposely avoided reading Fifty Shades of Grey, mostly because as someone who writes about sex and kink when he isn't writing about how Kim Kardashian walks around with an intravenous drip that funnels pee into her bloodstream, I can't bring myself to read bad Twilight fan fiction with hints of poorly executed BDSM play. But the book has taken off anyway, and now Angelina Jolie is in talks to direct the inevitable movie because yes, the MORE
