Diary Of A Diva

From the headline-making, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me comes another intimate glimpse into the delightfully hilarious mind of Joan Rivers. When her daughter Melissa gives her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified—who the hell does Melissa think she is? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, begins to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone, God help them. The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style. This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that’s actually worth reading.

Whether she's getting attacked by a squirrel, uncovering the legend of Japan's golden butt-balls, or being driven to self-harm by Cirque du Soleil, Barbarella bares all in her comical, poignant, and ferociously honest stories. "Barbarella sees, hears, and analyzes everything. She is like Neo in The Matrix, if Neo were played by Woody Allen," says David, her husband, or as he refers to himself, Mr. Barbarella. In this compilation of columns with commentary by both Barbarella and David, Barb demonstrates just how fun "a little fucked up" can be. "With full hearts and more TMI than a hospital intake form, Barb and David are a funny and lovable duo. To misquote the book, 'the family of a writer is utterly delightful.' I want more " - Grant Barrett, cohost of the nationally syndicated public radio show, A Way with Words "A riveting compilation of stories and commentary invites you behind the lipstick and into the audacious world of Barbarella; her family, friends, loves, fetishes, fears, feathers, and afflictions. Each tale is a delicious slice of life, rich with insight, unflinchingly honest and gloriously entertaining. David's take on it all: priceless. Diary of a Diva is dynamite." - Kerry Williamson, Hollywood screenwriter "Witty, Unique, Insightful, and Funny are only a few of the superlatives that describe ex-paralegal Barabarella (and her sidekick soulmate David). Diary of a Diva is an instant classic." - Linda Kenney Baden, trial attorney played by Helen Mirren in the HBO movie Spector, and author of Remains Silent and Skeleton Justice.

The content in this book is not pretty. These are raw, uncut, disturbing experiences, true thoughts, responses to random voices, and plots of revenge leading to my victory. This book was not written as a self-help manual. However, if you are one who is or has been hurt via life, love, or loss, perhaps these pages can offer you comfort in that you are not crazy and you are not alone. Life changes by the second. Change, adversity, dishonesty, and grief can plow into our well being like a steaming locomotive, but we can handle it. This book was my handle. It allowed me to cry, scream, destroy, and laugh back. I was able to fantasize and step out of myself to do things that would otherwise have me serving a life sentence. This book is not angry. It is honest. Perception is reality. This is mine. These words may move you to act rather than react. These words may empower those who feel powerless. These words may cause in depth self-realization and provide proof that God did not put us here to be miserable. The problem is that many of us have had problems establishing boundaries in our lives. Pain festers where boundaries are crossed. Draw your line and stand by it.

Known for ushering Canada from the punk movement of the 1970s to the new wave sound of the 1980s with Rough Trade, she candidly shares her thoughts on AIDS, sexuality and sexual politics, and the new breed of music divas that dominates the charts today.
