Review of Duran Duran-Notorious-The Unauthorized
Biography by Steve Malins
Duran Duran Notorious-The Unauthorized Biography
(Andre Deutsch, 2005) is the first new millennium
Duran Duran hardcover unauthorized autobiography.
The book was written by Steve Malin's who has penned
works about Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, and Radiohead.
It will be very easy for die hard "Duranies" (the
nickname given to Duran Duran fans) to pick apart
this book into a million pieces. However, for the
person who is only a casual Duran Duran fan who desires
to know more about the group they may not be so hard
on the book. The book details the musical history
of the group known as Duran Duran providing small
glimpses into the groups personal lives. Malins spoke
with former girlfriends, former band members and former
managers among many others in his research for the
book. Continue reading the review

O by Omari Grandberry
Omari (also known as Omarion) Grandberry is a talented
solo artist and the former lead singer of the multi-platinum
boy band B2K. B2K disbanded at the height of their success.
The group had a movie set to premiere and they were in
the midst of a very popular tour when it all ended. Omari
stayed in the game and has been more high profile than
the rest of the group members. His single "Oh,"
is in heavy rotation on radio and on video outlets. At
the ripe old age of 20 Omari has released an autobiography.
The book O details his life from early childhood
to now. The book is full color and is of such a nice quality
it appears it could be a collectors edition or a tour
guide. This book is a must have for the B2K or Omari fan.
It is chock full of pictures. Read
extended review.

TommyLand by Tommy Lee with Anthony Bozza
Rocker Tommy Lee is a pop culture icon. It is not often
that a groups drummer emerges as a bigger household name
than the lead singer. Tommy Lee’s career began as
the drummer for Motley Crue. Motley Crue was one of the
biggest rock groups of the 80’s with a string of
hit songs like “Girls, Girls, Girls” and “Home
Sweet Home.” It was their 1989 album Dr. Feelgood
that really put Motley over the top. The album spawned
the hit songs, “Dr. Feelgood,” “Without
You,” “S.O.S.,” “Don’t Go Away
Mad,” and “Kickstart My Heart.” Tommy is
as well known for his musical accomplishments as he is
his high profile relationships. Tommy was married to actress
Heather Locklear for most of the 80’s. His star really
rose when he married Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson at
the height of her career. Tommy has had a string of famous
girlfriends-including Mayte Garcia-Prince’s ex-wife.
The book Tommyland is a very candid look into Tommy’s
life. Although, Anthony Bozza played an important role
in the writing of the book, the voice of the book is all
Tommy Lee. The book is really exciting and once you start
reading it, it will be hard to put it down. Continue

Azucar Moreno by Shelley Halima Thabiz.com review
For the record, Azucar Moreno has nothing to do
with the
latin pop group of the same name. Azucar Moreno
is the story of a young biracial Michigan woman named
Nikki. Nikki's life is filled with wonderful animated
characters. Written in first person, Nikki takes readers
on a journey that includes her very animated cousin Rosie
who is described as looking like a Hispanic version of
Cindy Crawford. Rosie had a turbulent youth and is now
a rather mixed up bi-sexual adult who Nikki feels obligated
to. The two women are cousins but often tell people they
are sisters. Like many mid-twentysomethings Nikki has
high career aspirations and drama in the dating department.
Azucar Moreno is a delightful book. Although written
in first person, it seemed to have an enourmous amount
of dialogue, so much so that at times I felt like I really
didn't know Nikki as well as I knew Rosie or the other
characters. Some chapters had introspection and setting
up the scene at the beginning of the chapter and at the
end, and the middle completly filled with dialogue, often
leaving the reader wanting to know more about the setting
and about Nikki's feelings about certain things. Azucar
Moreno would make a great film. If Alison Anders (Gas,
Food Lodging, Mi Vida Loca, Sugartown) ever decides
to do romantic comedy this would be a good book to film
adaption. The character Odell reminded me of the Jesse
Borreo's role in the movie I
Like It Like That. With it's latin flair and urban
charm, Azucar Moreno is the perfect book for the
twenty or thirtysomething looking for a light read. Shelley
really has a fresh new voice and her future works are
anticipated.

Review of The Wendy Williams Experience by Wendy
Williams
The Wendy Williams Experience is focused on Wendy's
radio career and her infamous celebrity interviews whereas
Wendy's Got The Heat is more of an autobiography.
This book focused to much on one person-Puffy/P. Diddy
or whatever he calls himself now. I truly feel that Wendy
is more focused on Puffy than anyone else in the entertainment
industry. A good third of the book is dedicated to Puffy
or people with ties to the mogul. She has one chapter
which is a short chapter discussing their past beef. Wendy
claims that she likes his clothing like Sean John and
respects him as a business man. One longer chapter in
the book is the transcript of Wendy's exclusive interview
with Misa Hylton-Brim, the mother of Puffy's first born
son Justin. This is a rather interesting interview to
read as Misa gives the details on the early days of her
relationship with Puffy and then she discusses how Kim
Porter (Puffy's second baby's mom) and her were friends
at one time. There is ALSO a chapter dedicated to an interview
with Puffy's limo driver who was a part of the whole J-Lo,
Shyne, club incident with Puff.
The book is too heavy on Puffy. There are so many other
moguls who it would have been nice for Wendy to dish about
such as Dame Dash, Jay Z, Jermaine Dupri or even Russell
Simmons. The book also includes the full transcript of
Wendy's interview with Whitney Houston. The other chapters
are very content thin, but there is an interesting chapter
that offers advice on how to make a come up as a baby's
mom. As with Wendy's Got The Heat, Wendy also devotes
a good portion of the book to her infamous advice. I enjoyed
the book and will continue to read Wendy's books.
