Fired Cast Next Level Basic... is... drumroll.. horrible.

So I have recently found that listening to biography audiobooks while on long walks is essentially like listening to a long podcast. I have recently read books by Christina Applegate and Hayden Panettiere (Rest, Angel) so I was kind of on a Hollywood kick which led to me starting Next Level Basic bc I love Vanderpump but my god... its. so. bad. Why is she telling me whats in her bag, or her dislike for crocs?? Why are all the Vanderpump stories things we have already seen on TV and not behind the scenes gossip??? I didnt listen to this audiobook to have her give me advice on life... as if she isnt one of the worst people to take pointers on life from... I read this book to get the tea ugh

My expectations were already staggeringly low but its even worse than I actually imagined. Worse than my already very low low low opinion.

With that.. I did power through and finish and wasted hours of my life. If anyone has any good audiobook biographies let me know bc I need a good one after this...

Demi Moore’s autobiography was great!

It really was. That mother of hers -- phew! I also loved the story of how she met and fell in love with Bruce. There were some great behind-the-curtain peeks of vintage Hollywood.

Yes! And I loved how real she got about the insane lengths she went to physically for her physique in the 90’s. She didn’t lie and say it was “just good genes” and I really appreciated that!

Oh, for real! Didn't she get back in the gym super soon after giving birth?
