Jersey Shore‘s Snooki is on a west coast tour this week to promote her new book, A Shore Thing
If you give life and character to what becomes one iconic role in Hollywood, you can say you have made it in this tough Tinseltown. If you create two such roles, you are a superstar. But if you can claim three characters which resonate with fans for decades to come, then you can convincingly say that are a badass in Hollywood!
Shannen Doherty is that badass! Not only has she accomplished the rarity of making it from a child star to teen actor to adult star, she has also played three popular TV characters: Jenny Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills 90210, and Prue Halliwell on Charmed.
deals with the fine line between being a bad girl and being a badass. And who would know better than Shannen Doherty? Along her rise to fame, Shannen has also been tied to harrowing tabloid headlines of dramatic teenage angst, historic temper tantrums, public meltdowns, DUIs, high profile marriages and messy break-ups.
“My friends were constantly calling me for advice,” Shannen told MailOnline. “One was starting a business, a few had boyfriend issues. So I was ‘that girl.'”
“People would say, ‘Always listen to Shannen’s advice.’ But I didn’t always take my own advice. I do now.”
Adam Carolla stopped by Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles for a book signing and talk Saturday.
Adam’s book, “In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks” is his comedic gospel of modern America. In his signature balls-out style, Carolla rips into the absurdity of the culture that made Steve Miller a rock star, demonized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turned the nation’s bathrooms into a lawless free-for-all of urine and fecal matter, and put its citizens at the mercy of a bunch of minimum wagers with axes to grind.
Peppered between complaints Carolla shares candid anecdotes from his day to day life as well as his past—Sunday football at Jimmy Kimmel’s house, his attempts to raise his kids in a society that he mostly disagrees with, his big showbiz break, and much, much more. Brilliantly showcasing Adam’s spot-on sense of humor, this book cements his status as a cultural commentator/comedian/complainer extraordinaire.
Ricky Martin has a new book out, Me
International superstar, Ricky Martin, who has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide, opens up for the first time about memories of his early childhood, experiences in the famed boy band Menudo, struggles with his identity during the Livin’ la Vida Loca phenomenon, reflections on coming to terms with his sexuality, relationships that allowed him to embrace love, and life-changing decisions like devoting himself to helping children around the world and becoming a father. Me is an intimate memoir about the very liberating and spiritual journey of one of the most iconic pop-stars of our time.
Ricky came to the Los Angeles, CA Barnes & Noble located at The Grove for a book signing at 7:30 PM Tuesday. Some fans I spoke with said they had started lining up at 10 PM the night before. Ricky, you still got it!
