Diary of a Mad Diva

When her daughter, Melissa, gave her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified: Who the hell does Melissa think I am? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, began to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone. God help them.

The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style.

This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and that whiner Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that's actually worth reading.
