Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Author: Erin Bradley
Publisher: Tarcher
ISBN: 9781585427741
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
A hilarious and invaluable handbook to using rock-star archetypes, from Axl to Zappa, to decode and take charge of your own dating life. Through close readings of the life stories of rock gods of every stripe, Nerve.com dating advice columnist Erin Bradley has created ten "types"-from the fun-loving (and frequently intoxicated) Dr. Feelgood to Mom-approved Johnny B. Goode-based on these rockers and the cardinal traits that they most exemplify as boyfriends and dating partners. Each chapter focuses on one primary rock 'n' roller who embodies the archetype, using his history and romantic foibles as a jumping-off point for understanding guys and their dating habits-including the best ways to find, date, or end a relationship with each. Types include: *Sweet Child O' Mine Prime Suspect: The Jonas Brother It's fun to hang around this guy who's barely legal (or maybe just acts that way) in the apartment that his mom still pays for . . . but is he going to dump you with a ten-second call on his cell like Joe Jonas? Know what you're getting into when dating the young (and the terminally immature). *Sexy Motherf*cker Prime Suspect: Anthony Kiedis of the Red hot Chili Peppers The famously hypersexual Kiedis, well known for mistaking a single tube sock for a pair of pants, is the patron saint of this type-this kind of guy might be into threesomes, foursomes, and stuff that might be illegal in a few states. Is there a place in your life for a sexy guy who isn't really interested in a real relationship? *Dr. Feelgood Prime Suspect: Tommy Lee Tommy Lee married Pam Anderson after knowing her for just five days. Why? We suspect his reputed love of a good party may have played a role. How to navigate (and extricate yourself from) life with a man who drinks, parties, and gets into nonstop trouble, yet still charms the pants off you. Each chapter features rundowns of the major characteristics of each type; real-world stories and advice from women who have dated them; a "who's who" of the other rock stars who fall into the same category; and a notated black-and-white original illustration of each guy, as he is found in his natural habitat.

Not My Father's Son
Author: Alan Cumming
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062225081
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
“Equal parts memoir, whodunit, and manual for living . . . a beautifully written, honest look at the forces of blood and bone that make us who we are, and how we make ourselves.” --Neil Gaiman In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career. A beloved star of stage, television, and film—“one of the most fun people in show business” (Time magazine)—Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood. When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father. With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as a film, television, and theater star. At times suspenseful, deeply moving, and wickedly funny, Not My Father’s Son will make readers laugh even as it breaks their hearts.

The Lady in the Van
Author: Alan Bennett
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 9781781255407
Category : Eccentrics and eccentricities
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Film tie in edition of Alan Bennett's classic memoir. For fifteen years, the recalcitrant Miss Shepherd lived in her broken-down van on Alan Bennett's driveway in Camden. Deeply eccentric and stubborn to her bones, Miss Shepherd was not an easy tenant. Bennett, despite inviting her in the first place, was a reluctant landlord, never under the illusion that his impulse was purely charitable. This account of those years was first published in 1989 in the London Review of Books. The play premiered in 1999, direct by Nicholas Hytner and starring Dame Maggie Smith, who reprise those roles in this new film adaptation. Shot on location at Bennett's house, Alex Jennings plays the author, alongside household names including James Corden, Frances de la Tour, Jim Broadbent and Dominic Cooper.
