We are bringing you something really special this week on the new podcast Celebrity Book Club writer, comedian and filmmaker Chelsea

Chelsea Devantes and her friends recap and celebrate the memoirs of badass celebrity women like Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson,

Demi Moore, Gabriel Union, and Moore. These are ladies we all know and love who have been torn down

by tabloids and dissected by social media, all while facing career

obstacles, broken relationships, and incredible triumphs. Chelsea and our guests break down the

highlights of these memoirs while incorporating stories from their own lives that made each book hit close to home.

You can read along or just listen, but either way you'll definitely want to join this book club.

I know I'm personally super excited about Cher's memoir,

like, where did you get all those beautiful outfits?

How did you maintain that figure?

She's so empowering, too. I remember a famous quote from her saying like

I don't need to be with a rich man. I am a rich man. So I cannot wait to dive into her empowering story.

Host Chelsea Devantes is a comedian writer and filmmaker.

She's written for John Stewart, Tina Fay,

Mike Schure, and many more.

Her award-winning short film Basic

was an official selection of South by Southwest 2020.

Guests from season one of Celebrity Book Club include Ashley Nicole Black, who you might know as a writer and correspondent from Full Frontal with Samantha B, and a Black Lady sketch show on HBO.

And Emily V. Gordon, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of The Big Sick, and who also co-hosts the podcast staying in with her husband

Kumail non-Gijuana. And Stephanie Beatrice, who stars in Brooklyn Nine Nine

in the upcoming movie Musical in The Heights from Lynn Manuel Miranda.

But enough for me.
