The 1960’s I Dream Of Jeannie star Barbara Eden has penned a tell-all memoir called Jeannie Out of the Bottle which details the public and private tragedies accompanying her Hollywood fame, including intimate stories of two failed marriages and the heartbreaking loss of her only son to drugs.
Part pristine Hollywood princess and part classic bombshell, with innocence, strength, and comedic talent to spare, Barbara finally lets Jeannie out of her bottle to tell her whole story.
“Like Jeannie, I’ve been bottled up long enough — it’s time for me to pop the cork and talk about the amazing people I’ve been fortunate enough to meet along the way, and the highs and lows of my everyday living,” Barbara said in a statement about the then-impending book last year.
The book was published April 5 and Barbara was at Barnes & Nobles at The Grove in Los Angeles Saturday for a book signing and fan meet and greet. Enjoy the pictures from the event:

Wrestling champ Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke had a really great night Monday. They first danced the quickstep on Dancing with the Stars to Ella Fitzgerald’s I Got Rhythm and ended up with a score of 23 for a three-way tie for first place after the judges’ votes were tabulated. 

The couple then rushed over to Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles for a book signing for each of their books: Jericho has authored Undisputed: How to Become The World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps. Burke has penned Dancing Lessons: How I Found Passion On The Dance Floor.

In the middle of the shoot, a familiar face turned up to surprise the two dancers turned authors for the night. It was a very bubbly and proud fellow DWTS contestant, Kirstie Alley!

Here are photos and videos from their book signing and fan meet and greet:

Taboo Of Black Eyed Peas Hugs It Out With His Fans At Book Signing – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

Los Angeles, CA, February 11, 2011 – Taboo, a founding member of the six-time Grammy Award–winning Black Eyed Peas, was at Barnes & Noble at The Grove for a fan meet and greet and book signing of his autobiography, Fallin’ Up.

Taboo greeted each fan with a hug and took pictures and signed autographs all night long for each and every one who had lined up to meet the superstar. He even taught me a dance move, and you can see the picture below…I told him I loved the BEP’s Super Bowl halftime show and I am happy he stood up against all the haters of the performance!

But, back to the book. Fellow band mate, Fergie writes: “I’ve seen a talented, sensitive, lost young boy become a strong man with integrity and dignity. Fallin’ Up will give you an inside look at the life of this inspiring individual.”

Fallin’ Up shares the inspiring story of Taboo’s rise from the mean streets of East L.A. to the heights of international fame. Few bands can ever hope to achieve the sort of global success that the record-breaking Black Eyed Peas have attained, selling more than 30 million albums since their formation in 1995.

The group recently broke the all-time record for longest successive stay at the #1 position on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, and their song I Gotta Feeling became the first single to surpass six million digital downloads in the United States. But in this revealing autobiography—the first book to emerge from the group—founding member Taboo reminds us that great accomplishments are often rooted in humble beginnings.

Born in East L.A., in an area notorious for street gangs and poverty, Taboo (Jaime Luis Gómez)  was haunted by that environment, which seemed certain to shape his destiny. Yet, steered by his dreams to be a performer and assisted by fate, the young Taboo was thrown a rope when he discovered the world of hip-hop, where talent and love of the music itself transcended all. Supported by his one true champion, his grandmother Aurora, Taboo chased his dreams with a relentless tenacity. He refused to surrender, regardless of what life threw at him— including becoming a father at age eighteen.

But even after the Black Eyed Peas beat seemingly insurmountable odds and achieved stardom, it wasn’t all Grammys and platinum albums. Taboo delivers a searingly honest account of his collision with fame’s demons, including his almost career-ending struggle with drug addiction and alcoholism. He takes us deep into a world few of us can even imagine: a show-business heaven that became a self-made hell. But inspired by the love of his family and tapping anew into the wellspring of self-belief that had sustained him in the past, Taboo learns to keep his demons at bay, his addictions in check.

Full of intimate glances into the highest reaches of the music industry—including a visit to Sting’s castle, hanging out with Bono and U2, and, at forty-one thousand feet, the high-flyingest karaoke ever—Fallin’ Up takes readers on a revealing, personal journey through stardom—and one man’s triumph over adversity times two.

Roseanne Barr Holds Hilarious Book Reading – Exclusive Photos and Video

Roseanne Barr was at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA Monday night to promote her new book, Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm.

I will let Sandra Bernhard’s review stand for the book as I have yet to read it: “Roseanne is funny, everybody knows that. But then there is everything else—the humanity, rabbinical wisdom, Mother Earth fearlessness, true beauty, and the ability to stay one step ahead of insanity at all times. She’s always had her finger on the pulse and can tell when the patient needs some emergency care. Nurse Barr has saved us once again.”

Not having read the book, the adjectives Sandra uses seem to nail my perception of Roseanne right on the head. First off, Roseanne looked fabulous in person. I asked her what her beauty secret is and without missing a step, she said: “Lots of drinking.”  Roseanne also was funny, warm, soft spoken and gentle. She was witty and quick and sharp. She had the whole room fall in love with her; that is, if they weren’t already in love with her before their arrival.

Someone asked Roseanne if she would run for president one day. She gave an emphatic “Yes!” She followed by saying she would run for the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel at the same time. “It’d be a 2fer!” Her campaign promise? “I would establish world peace within 30 days of being elected because I would know how to!” Of course, she would have her own party affiliation: The Green Tea Party.

Roseanne, a blogger since 1996 when no one else was blogging named Snooki as her favorite author – funny thing, Snooki was the last author who held a book signing at Barnes & Noble right before Roseanne’s gig. She actually then said her favorite book is a Tale of Two Cities and her fave author is Mary Daly. Sorry Snooki!

Roseanne Barr and me 🙂
