Hey guys, today Claude and I are really excited to bring you something very special.

We want to tell you about the new podcast, Celebrity Book Club.

Celebrity Celebrity Book Club is hosted by writer, comedian, and filmmaker Chelsea Devantez and her friends while they recap and celebrate the memoirs of badass celebrity women like Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson, Demi Moore, Gabrielle Union, and many more.

You know at the toast we absolutely love and adore a celebrity memoir.

Nothing better.

Nothing better.

Nothing we love more.

There's nothing we love more, so a podcast talking about the books that we love so much is a no-brainer.

These are ladies we all know and love who have been torn down by the tabloids, dissected by social media, all while facing career obstacles, broken relationships, and incredible triumphs.

Chelsea and her guests break down the highlights of these memoirs while incorporating stories from their own lives that made each book hit close to home.

You can read along or just listen, but either way, you'll definitely want to join this book club.

You know what?

Enough from us.

Let's let the show speak for itself.

We have here a hilarious and touching clip from Celebrity Book Club.

Let's take a listen.

Enjoy!

I cried multiple times reading this book and because

hearing her voice also, like she genuinely, like she's gone through some really crazy, really hard stuff in her life.

And we're skipping over a lot of it.

People should buy this book.

Oh, yeah.

As much as we're dishing, so much is in the book.

We're leaving behind.

She's telling us about it, not because like she's a celebrity and at some point you have to write a memoir.

I think she genuinely, I believe.

wants to help people with her story.

And you can feel that through the whole thing that she's like, don't make this mistake.

Don't do this.

And she really is helping people through so many different kinds of things in the way she wrote this book.

I totally agree.

And this is also why this genre is my favorite genre because the best of these books are the best self-help book you've ever read in your entire life.

Because it's hard to take advice, it's hard to change, it's hard to have seismic shifts.

And if you're reading it through the lens of Nicolache being a total piece of shit, it's easier to digest and become yours.

And just the idea that like the sun will come, I just so touching.

Okay,

So it's 2006.

She's 25.

She's divorced and she is living it up.

She alludes that she dated every single person in Hollywood that she ever wanted to date.

And I just love that.

I love it.

Nick.

She also gets her like first own house, which is amazing.

And I truly believe every woman should live alone.

for some period of time and just experience aloneness.

And so I love when she like finally gets to have that.

And then she fucks every dude in town, which is even better.

Which is even better.

And I totally agree with you on that living alone part.

Nick, meanwhile, writes a divorce album.

It's like his, his big solo move is talking about his divorce.

And the songs are about like how much he fucking hates her.

And this dude comes over to her house and he's like, Jess, I just want you to hear the divorce album from me.

He plays her with the songs, making eye contact with her.

He's like, and now listen to this hit.

Now listen to this song.

He's like singing them to her or whatever.

He gets to a song where he's literally just like, I hate her.

I'm so annoyed by her or whatever.

Then Jessica writes in the book, I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know how to make him feel better.

So I slept with him.

And I, at this point in the book, I'm like running around in the house, like, yes, yes.

Like the amount of horrible, horrible, horrible men who looked me in the face and in some way or the other was like, I'm horrible.

And I was like, great, let's make out.

You want to fuck?

It's like, like, what do you think?

Was you make it better?

Yeah.

Like, she wanted to make it better.

She didn't know what else to do.

And, and the, and I just, I just loved her for admitting that.

And it also made me laugh at Nicolas Shea singing to her.

Also, like a theme in the book, we're gonna talk about John Mayer, but with John Mayer and Nicolas Shea, she's like, He was such a good writer, and I just wasn't that as good of a writer as him, or whatever.

And I will give him John Mayer is a very good songwriter, Nicola Shea, Nicolas Shea, come on, come on, poor Jill's.

We're gonna have higher self-esteem than looking up to Nicola Shea as a songwriter.

I'm sorry, 100%.

100%.
