Celebauthors

And don't F@#$ it Up...

Celebrities can do a lot of things: sing, dance, act… maybe even do back flips if you ask nicely enough.  Another thing they are prone to do is write.  RuPaul, America’s Mother of all Drag Queens, has come out with her new book “Workin’ It!  RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Style.”

Amazon.com Synopsis:

More than just a style guide, this is a navigation system through the bumpy road of life. Let RuPaul teach you the tried, tested and found true techniques that will propel you from background player to shining star!

No more playing small, your time is now!

“Workin’ It!” will provide helpful and provocative tips on fashion, beauty, style and confidence for girls and boys, straight and gay – and everyone in between! No one knows more about life, self-expression and style than RuPaul! With photos by Mathu Andersen from the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race and a fresh look at style and inner beauty, “Workin’ It!” will pick up where the show leaves off. The book will be as colourful, fun, and intriguing as RuPaul, with insights into makeup, clothing choices and the illusion of drag. Fans of RuPaul will get piece of Ru’s philosophy on style and attitude – and how it’s more than the clothes that make the man, or woman! With four colour photos throughout and a fresh, funky design “Workin’ It!” will be the perfect guide to RuPaul – part style guide, part confidence manifesto, and entirely fabulous!

Our Take:

You go girl!  Hell, if you are brave enough to pass yourself off as a drag supermodel you darn well better be brave enough to cash in by writing a book.

Dying to dig into a celebrity manifesto?  Here are a few  releases from your favorite (or maybe not so favorite) celebauthors that you may have missed. Sometimes, it’s for a reason.

Erik Estrada: “My Road From Harlem to Hollywood”

Flash that smile...

Amazon.com Synopsis:

The hottest icon of ’70s television tells his own story–an unflinchingly honest saga of the women, money, and show-biz politics that engulfed his Hollywood rise, and where he’s been since his fall.  In this startlingly honest tell-all autobiography, Erik Estrada reveals how he journeyed from the mean streets of East Harlem to the even meaner boulevards of Hollywood, where he became television’s hottest star in the hit series “CHiPs.”

Our Take:

This published before Celebreality took off on VH1.  He just doesn’t strike us as a “mean streets” kind of guy.  (Insert cheesy smile flash here)

Bill Cosby: “The Day I was Rich (Little Bill)”

The Day He Was... HUH?

Amazon.com synopsis:

While Little Bill is playing with his friends, he finds a huge diamond. Little Bill is rich! He and his friends have funny fantasies about what to do with his new found wealth- a bedroom with a built-in basketball court AND maid service, for example!

Our Take:

What happens when a little boy finds bling?  Do we really want to encourage this level of materialism and extravagance in children?  This book is surprising, coming from Bill Cosby.  That’s something we would have expected out of Spike Lee’s children’s book.
