Welcome to Celebrity Book Club. This is a podcast that recaps and celebrates the memoirs

of badass female celebrities who have been torn down by tabloids, dissected by social

media, and faced heartache and triumph and come out of it all even stronger. I'm your

host, Chelsea DeWatges. I'm a writer, comedian, and filmmaker. And before we get into the book

we are covering this week, I just want to make a little announcement to say that we are

doing a live podcast episode in New York City. So if you live in New York, you can come see

the podcast live between a live show. I have some fun comedian guests and extra surprises.

And if you don't live in New York City, you can get tickets to the live stream and you can

comment on the live stream and we will read your comments in the podcast. The book we are

covering is Brook Shields memoir, the first one. There was a little girl. It's a story

per and her mom. I'm super excited. I am also going to read parts of the first essay I've

been writing for my book, What a Wild Sentence to Say. If you are a Patreon member, you get

free tickets. So go to the Patreon, you will find your code. If you want to get a ticket,

go to caveat.nyc. So the theater is called caveat.nyc. I'm sure it's on my Instagram. I have

a post-drop, all that good stuff. And you guys, we're moving to Patreon. I made the announcement

in the New Year's episode, but we're going fully independent. So if you want to support

the podcast, go to patreon.com slash Chelsea Devonches. And that's where you can become a Patreon

member. Patreon member, wow, hard to say. And just just know that the podcast is going to

keep dropping like normal. Every other week, we are going to drop a book, a recap, just

like normal, but cookie patrons are going to get a third bonus episode. So if you become

a patron of the podcast for five dollars a month, you get a bonus episode. And the first

one is going to be Jamie Lynn Spears. Oh God. I'm both like terrified and very excited.
