Shocking True Story: The Rise and Fall of Confidential, a Review VIDEO

Book provided by Knopf

Outing a celebrity for being gay, drug use out of control, Communist ties, and infidelity! All in a day’s work for a celebrity reporter.

I’m not talking about TMZ or Star Magazine.  I’m referring to the one that started us all: Confidential. Without “America’s Most Scandalous Magazine” there would be no Star, Enquirer, or even THIS SITE!

Deemed as smut, and sensational, Confidential also caught the attention of the American people, as well as Hollywood.  Humphrey Bogart said of Confidential, ” Everybody reads it, but they say the cook brought it into the house.”

Shocking True Story: The Rise And Fall Of Confidential gives the true story, behind the true celebrity story.

Richard Belzer is "Not A Psychic"

I LOVE Richard Belzer, Munch from Law and Order SVU. I love him as an actor, and a comedian. And he oddly reminds me of my dad. hm. interesting.

Anyways, Belz went on the Today show to promote his new book I Am Not A Psychic. It’s fiction, but he’s a character in the story. He said he did that because it’s so hard for people to distinguish life from fiction anyways, especially after him being on TV for so long as the same character. (he even had a shoplifter surrender to him ON SET one day!)

He also goes on to talk about living in France and how hard it is to write there. It’s just too pretty!

The Housewives Love the Arts

90720NB2_DELESSEPS_B_GR_03

It’s a mini reunion for the Real Housewives of New York.  “The Countess” LuAnn de Lesseps, and Jill Zarin with hubby Bobby, made their way to Russel Simmon’s estate in East Hampton to raise money for The Rush Art Foundation’s 10th Anniversary Art For Life Benefit.

If you didn’t know, both ladies have books out.  LuAnn de Lesseps has her etiquette book, “Class with the Countess: How to Live with Elegance and Flair”.

And Jill just announced that she will be writing a book with her mom and sister called Secrets of a Jewish Mother.

“Even if you aren’t Jewish, you’ll appreciate this book,” Zarin said. “There is a section in it that asks questions like, ‘do you read medical journals?  Are you a natural matchmaker?’ I think people may read my book and discover they are a Jewish mother at heart!”

The book is to be out in May  2010.

More pics of Jill, Bobby, and LuAnn below!
