Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily

iHeartPodcasts

Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) & Lily Marotta (@lilyblueyez) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included.

    "The Bible" Part 2 feat. Cat Cohen (RE-RELEASE)

    Heyeth, best friends in Christ! The Lord hath sent us His Most Fabulous Messenger—Catherine Cohen of the village of Houston—to discuss His “Second Testament,” aka The New Testament, aka Season 2 of the Holy Bible. From weeping for thine Jewish friends who will burn in the fires of Hell to why Jesus resembleth a member of Fleet Foxes, the divine sex workers of Nazareth, Jesus having only child syndrome, TEDxBethlehem, and addressing if the Virgin Mary was a liar (yes). This is the Book of All Books, The Lastest of all Suppers. Come break unleavened bread and Slay In The Name of All That Is Holy. Amen.

    Jay "Pablo Michaels" Manuel

    I was rooting for you!! We were ALL rooting for you!!! This week we read Jay Manuel's "novel"/self-insertion fan fiction about what it was like to work on America’s Next Top Model in "The Wig, the Bitch and the Meltdown." We dive into this burn book and discuss the 2000’s hot spots Tao and Buddakan (and why Jay chose to put them in a novel that takes place in 2020), doing Tyra dirty, Miss J's d*ck pics, why Janice Dickinson is our favorite, and that scene where Jay gets to pretend that Nigel Barker wanted him carnally. Move over Rachel Cusk, there’s a new queen of auto-fiction in town!
