Welcome to Celebrity Book Club. This week we're book clubbing Open Book by Jessica Simpson. This is a podcast that recaps and celebrates the memoirs of

what it is.

I think I'm in love.

This is a podcast that recaps and celebrates the memoirs of badass celebrity women who have been torn down by tabloids and dissected by social media all while facing career obstacles, broken relationships, and incredible triumphs.

I am your host, Chelsea Devantes, I am a TV writer, film director, and comedian.

So Celebrity Memoirs have always been my favorite book genre.

They're both wildly fun and entertaining, in my opinion one of the most powerful

things a woman can do is tell her own story and these memoirs inspire me to feel less alone,

more emboldened and ready to say,

fuck off if the occasion arises, and I welcome the occasion

always now.

My guests this week is so special.

Y'all, it is a best friend episode.

My guest is Ashley Nicole Black.
