Star Gossip

Everyone loves to go to the supermarket checkout lines and read the Enquirer. This book is nothing more than a bigger version of the Enquirer. The author tells interesting gossip about specially chosen famous people. I think he mainly chose people that were homosexual or had homosexual tendencies. It is amazing how many "stars" have homosexual leanings or who can't keep their pants on. If you like to read those rag mags, then you will enjoy this free for all.

Enjoyed reading Jack Mingo's "The Juicy Parts"

As a recently retired teacher of 37 years I had gained quite a reputation as a "story teller". Many of the stories I told my students were of the same nature as Mingo's book subtitled, "Things Your History Teacher Never Told You About the 20th Century's Most Famous People". I DID tell them, at least what I knew but I was truly fascinated with the depth of information in Mingo's book. I would recommend it highly for adults. Some of the things he reported on I would not have shared with my 7th and 8th graders
