More Adventures from the Andy Cohen Diaries
Hopping from the Hamptons to the Manhattan dating world, the dog park to the red carpet, Cardinals superfan and mama's boy Andy Cohen, with Wacha in tow, is the kind of star fans are dying to be friends with. This book gives them that chance. If The Andy Cohen Diaries was deemed "the literary equivalent of a Fresca and tequila" by Jimmy Fallon, Superficial is a double: dishier, juicier, and friskier. In this account of his escapades, Andy tells us not only what goes down but exactly what he thinks.

Most Talkative
Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture
From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality-TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children - and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television.
If you're depressed, listen to this book!!!

The Meaning of Mariah Carey
By: Mariah Carey
Narrated by: Mariah Carey
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.
Entertaining glitz glam smoke and mirrors - not the whole story.

A year in the whirlwind life of the beloved pop icon Andy Cohen, in his own cheeky, candid, and irreverent words As a TV producer and host of the smash late night show Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen has a front row seat to an exciting world not many get to see. In this dishy, detailed diary of one year in his life, Andy goes out on the town, drops names, hosts a ton of shows, becomes codependent with Real Housewives, makes trouble, calls his mom, drops some more names, and, while searching for love, finds it with a dog. We learn everything from which celebrity peed in her WWHL dressing room to which Housewives are causing trouble and how.
Nothing is off limits - including dating. We see Andy at home and with close friends and family (including his beloved and unforgettable mom).
Throughout, Andy tells us not only what goes down, but exactly what he thinks about it. Inspired by the diaries of another celebrity-obsessed Andy (Warhol), this honest, irreverent, and laugh-out-loud funny audiobook is a one-of-a-kind account of the whos and whats of pop culture in the 21st century.

What listeners say about The Andy Cohen Diaries
I wanted to like this... But I just can't
I loved his last book so I was certain this one would be great. I'm a big fan of Andy and all his shows on Bravo but this book is such a snooze. He reads through one boring day after another.
It doesn't matter how big the celebrity name is that gets dropped or how glamorous the party he went to was, the retelling of it all is terribly boring.
It's like listening to a coworker you hardly know go on and on about their weekend... Only this time you actually paid to hear about it.
IndianaGirl
And then some.
What did you love best about The Andy Cohen Diaries?
I love Andy. I think he's honest and funny and smart and very real. I think this book is an honest look into his life. He is a busy man juggling many things and living his awesome life. He doesn't make excuses for the way he lives or what he does he does it and lives it and ENJOYS it. I love haring people love their lives, even if its not perfect. The dog, hilarious addition to the book and his life.
I am jealous of his friendship with SJP. I feel like I want to be Andy....
What about Andy Cohen's performance did you like?
He is very energetic and passionate when he is telling his story.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I don't think this book is MOVING, if you are looking for something MOVING then read Oprah's book.
I saw some amazon reviews calling this self indulgent. UH HELLO??? It's his flippin diary!! Cmon. What did you think you were reading???? It's funny and light and interesting.
Mleming
I could listen to Andy's diary every day
Would you listen to The Andy Cohen Diaries again? Why?
Yes, to pick up on the stuff I missed the first time through.
What other book might you compare The Andy Cohen Diaries to and why?
Hmmm, maybe "Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream" but more pop culture, glam, etc....
Every day is glamorous with the gorgeous hunk of dog Wacha.
Andy is just fun to listen to.
I love love love me some Andy Cohen. I really do. So I was looking forward to this. Meh. He really does go deep on shallow things like obsessing about his weight. On the daily. His odd relationship with a mother who constantly criticizes him. Wacha. Weight. Name dropping. Wacha. Mother, Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Not even great stories relating to the name dropping. Sorry, Andy! I wanted to love it. Plus, he sounds unnatural reading it.
Vapid Man
A book of nightly massages, tinder, name dropping and a lot of drinking. This should have been left as a private diary. The only thing interesting was his new love of his dog; however, it dragged too long. No depth, no ah-ha moments. A year of nothing learned and no charity mentioned. Not even an offer to get the blind man home after his dog was put down at the vet.
It's an entertaining book! Andy Cohen is hilarious! Fun to hear insight on lives that differ so much from my own.
I loved it.. it was really entertaining. would love to read a book about 2015a

Fabulous for any Pop Culture Fan!!
This was a fabulous audiobook for any pop culture fan! I loved it and found myself hoping it wouldn't end! Can't wait for another Andy Cohen book!
Momzworkin
If you already love Andy Cohen this is your book
What made the experience of listening to The Andy Cohen Diaries the most enjoyable?
Listening to Andy tell about his own experiences with the appropriate intonations made it much more enjoyable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Andy Cohen Diaries?
Listening to the development of Andy and Wacha's story was my favorite part of the book.
Have you listened to any of Andy Cohen's other performances before? How does this one compare?
I think this was about the same as his previous book.
This is a guilty pleasure. There is nothing to be learned from this book, no insights that would help you in your own life, nothing substantial, but there isn't supposed to be! It is just fun.
Really good!! :) ...
But wanted more drama & housewives secrets! Excellent narration, felt like Andy & I were friends. Left with wanting more!! Awesome book!!

Loved it ...couldn't put it down ... enjoyed the gos ...a peak into how the other half live
This is a time capsule!
I loved the Andy Warhol diaries as it is like a time capsule of information, people, culture, entertainment and ideas from the 70s to the 80s. The Andy Cohen Diaries also delivers with this premise in mind. This book has so many social annecdotes and cultural references all wrapped up in Cohen's everyday life. The honesty in this book creates a world where you feel like his confidant, it reads like you were having a boozy lunch with Andy at Palms. It's light reading, perfect if you are familiar with his celebrity and his body of work behind the cameras.
BORING!
I love Andy but this book is seriously the worst book I have ever read. So so so boring. Don't waste a credit on this book. You'll thank me
pure narcissism! <br />
boring. totally and utterly crap. expected intelligent insight into an entertainment world , got dribble. can't wait for it to finish. this is dreadful, not going listen to the rest.
