Celebrity Memoir Book Club is the podcast where two New York City comedians, Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton, are reading celebrity memoirs so that no one else has to.
I fucking love you guys !!! I don't understand why this podcast isn't the number one podcast ever. You 2 are hilarious, intelligent, funny as fuck and gorgeous! 37 yr old female fan from Australia. Love u guys. Still laughing over Brock Hamilton, said in an earlier podcast. Keep going you legends, your bringing so much joy into my life and I'm sure many others. Xo
1:27:38 I love that Yvie Oddly included fan art out of respect for their work as artists who focused their attention on Yvie. ♥️ Artist recognizes Artist 💪🏽
There were articles about Brooke Shields in Playboy magazine when she was a kid, about those sexualized movies that she played in. They did the same thing with Shirley Temple.
I wound up here trying to find her telling this story on Conan in the 90’s. Found it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BPoo1jYHqXs.htmlsi=jkWZ2S2JauS-pH2H
You need to read pronounced My Tay Garcia's book, it'll tell you a lot more about her relationship with her ex husband Prince! Her mother brought her to Prince when she was 16 and he never touched her, married her when she was 18, she was in his band! She tragically lost two children.
When Fat Joe says he's rollin' 100 deep he's exaggerating, it's hyperbole or hype as they say in the streets! What do you think rap music is? He doesn't come from the same place Tori Spelling comes from! ; )
If ya'all are goingto oresent tfese things- may I suggest you do a bit of prep? Like giggling over how to pronounce BALMORAL and exclaiming, "A Gap year? What's that?". Ladies ... Some of your stuff is right on, but other places...? 🥱😩🤨
I always wonder when artists have that attitude like how he said "if something is popular that means its boring"....but then his band is super popular soooo does he have a dilemma about that? Or could he go back to reflect and appreciate "popular" music that he used to turn his nose up at now that he is also popular?
I really enjoyed this! I've always been a fan of Kathy. You guys crack me up! I think that the more interesting thing for me, is that Kathy is definately way more famous, imho, than some of her counterparts like Jack Black and that Jeanine Lady. So I think it's sort of like a be careful what you do in the past kind of thing. You guys are funny!
I enjoyed this and you made me laugh. But there is back story to certain things that make the book make more sence. Too much to explain but if you know you know 😊
From Memphis, remember a lot of what he describes in his book. The music, the scene, the beefs and the struggle. Shout out to JJ! Very proud of him and 3-6! 🎉 Thanks ladies for the reading and review! This meant a lot to those who came up in that era in Memphis, those that were around them and seeing them through their success! #MemphisStrong 💙〽️ …I hate that he keeps calling it evil. It has its struggles. But WE & HIS ASS know that WE LOVE THIS CITY! 💙〽️
I agree Kathy was kinda annoying. But also I think the misogyny aspect of things especially with getting on talk shows and the boys not acknowledging her and stuff like that. ❤
I hope Kathy Griffin accepts your invitation for an interview on Celebrity Memoir Bookclub. I’d like to hear about Kathy’s friendship with E Jean Carroll and Mary Trump (when the coast is clear to talk about it). There’s something magical about comedians. The way they get through trauma and then make it funny, it’s a super power. Zelensky is a comedian… I don’t know, there seems to be a connection there. The way they don’t give up. Both Kathy Griffin and Zelensky have fighting spirits and I want them to win. I’m trying to say, there’s more to Kathy Griffin than meets the eye.
It feels like a lot of celebrities try to overcompensate when talking about their past. They try to exaggerate their "struggle" in rising to the top to seem either more interesting or more of what they think is relatable to us common folk. It's actually quite entertaining because overall it seems like they're just trying to convince themselves deep down (like JLO). And I am SO glad you two read this book so I didn't have to! lol
