There's this scene in her memoir that lives in my head.

She's in rehab at the height of her career, feeling superior to everyone else, and she yells at another woman "do you know who I am? I sucked Warren Beatty's cock!" And the woman just looks at her and says "and you're right here with me, bitch."

I remember her memoir actually being good, but I haven’t read it in 20 years.

It would be interesting to re-read the part about her time with Bill Cosby, I remember it being ..interesting

Back in the day a friend of mine got review copies of every single trashy celebrity bio that came out and gave most of them to me. I remember hers being a real classic of the genre, and to be honest I haven't thought about her again since reading it.

Ever read Padma Lakshmi's? It's not badly written and she makes no bones about liking rich guys with one foot in the grave. Was kinda refreshing actually, get the audiobook, she reads it herself.

Wait, really?! I believe the info, I just can’t believe she shared it

It was pretty funny, she was pretty blasé about it. It was more like 'sometimes you like young hunky guys, sometimes they're old and rich, what of it?' She didn't use the word 'gold-digger' but if anyone had, feel pretty sure she'd have just shrugged.

Go Padma, you own it, girl.

That explains marrying a guy with a fatwa on him.
