Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily

Barbara “MGM” Payton w/ Ruby McCollister

Lights! Camera! Scandal! Iconic downtown comedienne Ruby McCollister travels back in time with us to the halcyon days of the studio system, for infamous screen siren Barbara Payton, and her no-holds-barred memoir “I Am Not Ashamed.” From her five marriages to making $10k a week, the invention of e-girls, proto-butch theory, roach-infested apartments on Sunset and the world we leave behind, this is no cautionary tale—this is real life, baby!   Subscribe here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cbcthepod">patreon.com/cbcthepod</a>   Follow us for more fun!

Celebrity memoirs aren’t like normal books—they’re fun! Join comedians Steven Phillips-Horst (<a href="https://twitter.com/gossipbabies">@gossipbabies</a>) &amp; Lily Marotta (<a href="https://twitter.com/lilyblueyez">@lilyblueyez</a>) as they rifle through the diaries of drug-addled starlets, oddly obsessive restaurateurs, brass-knuckled female realtors, and boring gay politicians’ even more boring gay husbands, finding fertile ground for searing cultural insights and juicy gossip. Martinis not included.
