Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (@gossipbabies) & Lily Marotta (@lilyblueyez) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included.


Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily

Come in and kick off your boots, y’all! This week we read and ate our way through Reba McEntire’s new cookbook "Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots." Between bites of her lip smackin’ ribs we discuss what it’s like to be a single mom who works two jobs, loves her kids, and never stops. Plus, how she became a camp icon, revitalized a small Oklahoma town, and overcame her fears to become the first-ever female KFC Colonel Sanders. Amen!

I was rooting for you!! We were ALL rooting for you!!! This week we read Jay Manuel's "novel"/self-insertion fan fiction about what it was like to work on America’s Next Top Model in "The Wig, the Bitch and the Meltdown." We dive into this burn book and discuss the 2000’s hot spots Tao and Buddakan (and why Jay chose to put them in a novel that takes place in 2020), doing Tyra dirty, Miss J's d*ck pics, why Janice Dickinson is our favorite, and that scene where Jay gets to pretend that Nigel Barker wanted him carnally. Move over Rachel Cusk, there’s a new queen of auto-fiction in town!

Get on your knees, ladies! Toxic gay Twitter frenemy Ben Mora joins our favorite Massholes for the world’s biggest celebrity—God—and his 1300 B.C. bestseller, The Bible. From everyone on the pod having COVID (God’s work) to which Bible characters are non-binary, Nazareth’s circumcision obsession, Noah’s red carpet, Lily and Ben’s Unitarian Universalist pasts, and why God is a JAP—this is a journey of biblical proportions. Amen, brother.

"The Bible" Part 1 feat. Ben Mora (RE-RELEASE)

Heyeth, best friends in Christ! The Lord hath sent us His Most Fabulous Messenger—Catherine Cohen of the village of Houston—to discuss His “Second Testament,” aka The New Testament, aka Season 2 of the Holy Bible. From weeping for thine Jewish friends who will burn in the fires of Hell to why Jesus resembleth a member of Fleet Foxes, the divine sex workers of Nazareth, Jesus having only child syndrome, TEDxBethlehem, and addressing if the Virgin Mary was a liar (yes). This is the Book of All Books, The Lastest of all Suppers. Come break unleavened bread and Slay In The Name of All That Is Holy. Amen.

Carrie “Gold Medal Hag” Fisher

Dear Mr. Club Kid, you're the one in the corner of the coffee shop listening to my podcast with no headphones on because you don’t give a f**k, who orders a black coffee and drinks it all day while writing in a red notebook with a pen that hardly works... Umm sorry, we got carried away. This week we dive into acclaimed actress Mary Louise Parker’s semi-autobiographical book of letters, "Dear Mr. You." We discuss the longing for strangers, retro Coke, getting railed in the East Village, the erotic loss of the father, wearing opera gloves to breakfast, and analyze why she isn’t a hag. Light up, Moms!

Are you there God? It’s me, Celebrity Book Club. Steven & Lily say a prayer for non-secular songstress Jessica Simpson’s 2020 memoir “Open Book.” From her scandalous letters with Johnny Knoxville to launching a billion-dollar fashion merchandising empire, there’s a lot of Kohl’s licensed baggage to unpack here—including Lily’s fiery love/hate relationship with John Mayer. See you at the altar.
