Some of the names Doug "drops" in the book are those of TV pioneers Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball, Lawrence Welk and Danny Thomas. Some are sitcom icons such as Jerry Seinfeld, Betty White, Bob Newhart and Henry Winkler. Others, such as Olivia Newton-John, Garth Brooks and Cher are superstars in the music industry. While still others are internationally-known movie stars such as sex symbol Mae West, and Oscar-winners George Clooney and James Earl Jones. Not surprisingly, many have their names on the sidewalk along Hollywood's "Walk of Fame." NAME-DROPPING: My Life in Hollywood Among Celebrities Who Won't Remember Me! not only gives the reader a true insider's look at life on the set of a TV sitcom, it's also "laugh out loud" funny!

The people who orbit around Renn Ivins, an actor of Harrison Ford-like stature--his girlfriends, his children, his ex-wives, those on the periphery--long to experience the glow of his flame. Anna and Will are Renn's grown children, struggling to be authentic versions of themselves in a world where they are seen as less important extensions of their father. They are both drawn to and repelled by the man who overshadows every part of them. Most of us can imagine the perks of celebrity, but Little Known Facts offers a clear-eyed story of its effects--the fallout of fame and fortune on family members and others who can neither fully embrace nor ignore the superstar in their midst. With Little Known Facts, Christine Sneed emerges as one of the most insightful chroniclers of our celebrity-obsessed age, telling a story of influence and affluence, of forging identity and happiness and a moral compass; the question being, if we could have anything on earth, would we choose correctly?

From Ross Mathews, the nationally bestselling author of Man Up!, judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and alum of Chelsea Lately, comes “a delightful mix of sweet and sour celebrity experiences” (Shelf Awareness) in this hilarious and irreverent collection of essays. Pretend it’s happy hour and you and I are sitting at the bar. I look amazing and, I agree with you, much thinner in person. You look good, too. Maybe it’s the candlelight, maybe it’s the booze. Either way, let’s just go with it. Keep this all between you and me, and do me a favor? Don’t judge me if I name drop just a little. Television personality Ross Mathews likes telling stories. He was always outrageous and hilariously honest, even when the biggest celebrity he knew was his favorite lunch lady in the school cafeteria. Now that he has Hollywood experience—from interning behind the scenes at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to judging RuPaul’s Drag Race—he has a lot to talk about. In Name Drop, Ross dishes about being an unlikely insider in the alternate reality that is showbiz, like that time he was invited by Barbara Walters to host The View—only to learn his hero did not suffer fools; his Christmas with the Kardashians, which should be its own holiday special; and his news-making talk with Omarosa on Celebrity Big Brother, which, as it turns out, was just the tip of the iceberg. Holding nothing back, Ross shares the most treasured and surprising moments in his celebrity-filled career, and proves that while exposure may have made him a little bit famous, he is still as much a fanboy as ever. Filled with “charmingly told” (Booklist) tales ranging from the horrifying to the hilarious—and with just the right “Rossipes” and cocktails to go along with them—Name Drop is every pop culture lover’s dream come true.

They’re rich, they’re famous, and they’re about to fall apart… From Kristina Adams, author of the bestselling What Happens in… series comes the first book in the prequel companion series Hollywood Gossip. Jump back in time to when Tate and Jack were in their late teens, trying to transition from child stars to megastars. Follow them on their journey as they become friends, enemies, and lovers alongside familiar faces from the What Happens in Hollywood Universe and new ones you’re going to love. Hollywood Gossip Jack I never had anything, growing up. I was a homeless orphan doing what I could to survive. One night, I got lucky DJing and a record label hired me. My first album took off, but I can’t seem to replicate its success. So instead, I drink. And I party. And I do whatever else I can to avoid my problems. Until she walked in. Tate’s like no one else I’ve ever met. She’s obsessed with her work. But that’s not why I’m drawn to her. She’s funny, she’s sexy, and she’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And I think she hates me. I mean, I don’t blame her. We couldn’t be more different. But what if…she didn’t hate me? Could our workplace collaboration turn into something more, or am I living in a romantic fantasy? Tate What’s it really like to grow up rich and famous? Pressure. So much pressure. Unbelievable, inescapable pressure. My whole life has been about building my brand as an actor and singer. Reaching the top of the Hollywood ladder. I will not let anyone screw it up. Not even Jack. He’s talented, sure, but his work ethic is practically non-existent. I have no time for people like him. Yet I’m weirdly drawn to him and I can’t work out why. He’s so different to anyone else I’ve ever met, so completely outside of my celebrity bubble. It’s refreshing. But it’s also dangerous. He could completely ruin everything I’ve spent my whole life building. Am I about to screw up my whole life for one guy? For one chance at love? Hollywood Parents Tate My parents are divorcing after 30 years of marriage. Oh, and I just accidentally found out I’m adopted. Cue identity crisis. With parents who won’t stop arguing, an ex-boyfriend I can’t stop thinking about, a sexy Texan model I’ve treated terribly, and a career on the rocks, it’s no understatement to say that my chipper demeanour is under threat. But I can totally handle it. Can’t I?! Jack Life isn’t nearly as fun as I wait to be. I think my best friend might be turning into my best frenemies. But how can I be sure? It’s hard to work out when I’m also battling a gruelling touring schedule and might lose my house. All things considered, I think I’m handling everything pretty well. Aren’t I? Hollywood Drama Tate I’m so sick of everyone seeing me as—and treating me like—a child star. I’m in my twenties! I’m not a child anymore. So I’m leaving. My management company. My record label. And the country. It’s time for a fresh start. If only the rest of the world agreed… Jack I’ve officially made it as a DJ—I’m doing a residency in Ibiza! It doesn’t get much better than spending the summer surrounded by music, sunshine, and parties. But can I resist the never-ending supply of drink and drugs in the clubbing capital of Europe? And what does spending the summer away from Tate mean for our relationship? If you’re looking for a serial will they/won’t they romantic drama about love, hate, and the pressures of fame, you won’t find one that’s more of a rollercoaster read than this. For fans of Marian Keyes or Paige Toon, this is the first book in an on/off love story featuring strong language, detailed descriptions of mental health conditions, and found family.

From the acclaimed author of The Wilder Sisters comes this bittersweet, deeply moving story of four displaced women who unite to run a flower farm, heal their hearts, and real- ize the depth and necessity of friendship. Phoebe Thomas has lived life as a spectator, confined to a wheelchair, in awe of her beloved Aunt Sadie and overshadowed by her financial wizard brother, James.

A journey through disturbing yet crucial matters that must be considered prior to End Times and Christ's return. This second volume takes a different approach from the first. It is a journey, not a pick-and-choose buffet. It begins by taking the reader where the first volume left off, ""down the rabbit hole."" The journey concludes in confronting the LDS reader with a crucible, wherewith one's faith and trust in Christ (and in Christ alone) will be put to the ultimate test. There are save two churches only: Which one does your everyday mindset, and your personal and professional choices, testify that you are a member of? What is the foundation upon which you anchor your sacred testimony? How close, how intimate, how cherished is your relationship with Jesus Christ? If you are not prepared to answer these questions with full conviction of heart, then you are not ready to contemplate the contents of this book.
