The only thing that could make my trip to New York City for the Whoopi Goldberg book signing better was doubling my divas and swinging by Tiffany Haddish’s signing of her new book “I Curse You With Joy” at the Barnes & Noble Union Square afterwards. Tiffany was in coversation with Charlamagne Tha God (Who’s…

Whoopi Goldberg’s Bits And Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, And Me
I’m a huge Whoopi Goldberg fan. From her acting (Ghost is one of my Top 5 Movies Of All Time) to her standup and everything in between. Back in 2019 I went to New York City for her of “The Unqualified Hostess” book signing. It’s a book to help you be the hostess with the…
Melissa Etheridge’s Talking To My Angels
1993 was a monumental year. At the time, I was working at a local electronics store in their music and movie department. Musically, Melissa Etheridge released her iconic, queer-anthem album, Yes I Am, and personally I was coming to terms with my own queerness with the help from a few angels of my own. Melissa…
Pamela Anderson’s Love, Pamela
Pamela Anderson is one of those divas that I appreciate for her public persona more than her body of work. I admit to never having seen an episode of Home Improvement or Baywatch…Tim Allen and The Hoff never did it for me. I may have seen her movie Barb Wire once back-in-the-day on VHS when…
Resolution 2023…It’s A Date!
When the pandemic first started and almost everything shut down, I fell into the routine of still going to work everyday (which, at times, was worse than the pandemic itself) and coming home to a partner I love, but “me time” was non-existent. Now that events are happening again, like concerts and book signings, I…
Jenifer Lewis’ Walking In My Joy
In my gay opinion, Jenifer Lewis is a diva and a “double D cup diva” at that, by her own admission. Back in 2018, I went to my first Jenifer Lewis book event for “The Mother Of Black Hollywood,” which was so memorable that I was thrilled when Barnes & Noble Union Square in New…
Cassandra Peterson’s Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs Of The Mistress Of The Dark
Back in December of 2016 I did a blog post about going to New York City for Cassandra Peterson’s “Elvira Mistress Of The Dark” coffee table book signing. Five years later, with in-person book signings not done as much, I had to settle for pre-ordering an autographed copy of her new book, “Yours Cruelly, Elvira:…
Nico Tortorella’s All Of It Is You & Space Between
In 2015, I started watching the TV show Younger about a recently divorced woman in her 40’s who lies about her age to get her foot in the door of a New York City publishing house. I started watching because of Debi Mazar and Hilary Duff however there was something about the young love interest,…
Betsey Johnson’s Betsey: A Memoir
Who knew in August 2006 when I agreed to cat sit for my partner’s co-worker’s two cats that my TV-watching and diva-stalking life would be changed forever. I agreed to help Betty and Ernest’s parents (I don’t remember their names) for two reasons #1: I love cats and #2: they had cable and air conditioning,…
Demi Moore’s Inside Out: A Memoir
I was excited to see tickets being sold for a Demi Moore book signing and discussion in New York for her autobiography Inside Out: A Memoir. Earlier that day Whoopi Goldberg was doing a book signing but it was a wristband event, meaning getting there early to be guaranteed a spot. In my gay opinion,…
