Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily Outspoken

Maaaaaaaaa, where’s my hair gel??? This week the hilarious Italian American princess Edy Modica joins us to talk about Mafia Donna, Victoria Gotti, and her book "This Family of Mine: What It Was Like Growing Up Gotti." We get a pot of sauce simmering and discuss Victoria’s best-selling political thrillers, cutting your husband with a fork, why John Gotti can’t dance, her grandparents' sex life, losing $17k in Vegas, money laundering, Edy’s Dad attending a Gotti function, veal cutlets, paying off waste management, Il Cantinori, and of course the best places to murder someone. Ciao Bella!

What if I told you Hollywood isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? This week we read award-winning actress Constance Wu’s memoir “Making a Scene” and it’s, dare we say, pretty random. We discuss her time as a struggling actress, sex in Union Square, canceling a “Fresh Off the Boat” producer (and co-star backlash), owning a bunny, Mormon-owned coffee shops, not really talking about “Crazy Rich Asians,” theater kid drama, Michelle Yeoh dictating texts to her iPad, and Constance’s many, many ex-boyfriends.

Driver, drop me at Bergdorf Goodman! Come roam the halls of the famed department store with us as we discuss their fabulous in-house stylist Betty Halbreich and her memoir, “I’ll Drink To That.” (Most CBC title ever, btw). We trace her path from Chicago to Chanel and talk about hanging at the Copacabana, why Geoffrey Beene walked so Isaac Mizrahi could run, palazzo pants, teaching President Carter how to hold a gown, mediocre Japanese food, Pat Field, the patriarchy of the sleeve, and most importantly when to stop stuffing your closet with fox fur.

Darling, you absolutely must come to our NYC live show on 6/5. BUY HERE.

Hell yeah, brother! This week we bodyslam our way through bleached blond wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's memoir "Hollywood Hulk Hogan." We hop in the ring and discuss WWE fandom culture, eating 25 eggs a day, Vince McMahon, his sex tape and Gawker lawsuit, homoeroticism, inventing wrestling merch, Mr. T’s insecurities, and of course his French chalet-inspired greater Tampa mansion. HULKAMANIA FOREVER!

MOTHER ALERT ! It’s Gypsy Rose Blanchard week, and we are unpacking her recently published eBook "Released: Conversations On The Eve of Freedom with Melissa Moore." With empathy and humor she discusses her Munchausen Mama, Wicca, bottoming for butches in prison, true crime adaptation ethics, why she loves her now ex-husband Ryan, and ultimately her hopes and dreams for the rest of her life. To quote Ms. Blanchard, “This is Gypsy’s Version.”
