Jenny McCarthy signs 'Bad Habits'

Jenny has been hitting the road to debut her latest book Bad Habits which just hit the stores.

Tonight she was at the Barnes and  Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. She arrived in style sporting a form fitting  red dress and long blonde locks with a swoop of bangs to the side. Fans eagerly awaited their turn to let her know how much they love her and have her sign their copy of her newest book - Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic.

She did not disappoint her fans with her typical wit and charm.

A few words from Jenny McCarthy about Bad Habits: Confessions of a Recovering Catholic:


Dearest Reader,


By now you might be wondering: Jenny McCarthy has more to say?! After six New York Times bestsellers,* I've talked about pregnancy, autism, and motherhood. I hope you've enjoyed it. I hope it's made you laugh and cry and all those things that bestselling books about such topics by funny people are supposed to do.

 But this book is about something entirely new--a subject that has pervaded my life since birth and confused the f*ck out of me for about the same time: Catholicism. As I enter into adulthood (play along, thanks), I think I may have finally figured out this faith thing. And what it means to me. But first, I had to reflect on my life. And my memoir, Bad Habits, is the fruit (not the Eve's apple kind) of that labor.

Bad Habits is my journey from aspiring nun at an all-girls Catholic school in the suburbs of Chicago, to Playmate of the Year, to autism awareness activist, to bestselling author, to host of my very own talk show... and all the Hail Marys in between. After reading this book, you'll know why you should wear underwear to church, why Jesus was my Justin Bieber (he's totally hawt!), and why I had to give up giving shit up for Lent. 

Bad Habits is also my personal examination of faith and how it turns out to surprise us at the most unexpected moments. It is a book of confessions about confession! I've tried to be brutally honest though it might read as more like embarrassingly entertaining, and I'm always outlandish so that's in here too; but truly, this book is sinfully hilarious*.


Bless you my children,

Jenny

Book Signing - Jess Winfield

July 29, 2009 BOOK SOUP, SUNSET STRIP, LOS ANGELES, CA MY NAME IS WILL A NOVEL OF SEX DRUGS AND SHAKESPEARE" is now available on audiobook at iTunes     or       Audible.com Jess delighted his audience during a signing and reading to celebrate the release of the new audiobook. Jess is a master story teller and he captivated attendees as he shared insight on his story influences and references and read passages from My Name is Will.   Below are some photos from the book signing and during a visit to his office just before the event. But first here's what a few people have said abot My Name is Will: “Hilarious, fascinating . . . a cunningly witty, frolicsome, time-warping bildungsroman . . . Winfield slings bucketfuls of double-entendres and wily puns... But serious business underlies the literary larkiness... Winfield's high-spirited tribute is a celebration of the power of language and story through which we learn who we are and who we might be as we strut and fret our hour upon the stage, bit players reaching for the heavens in a drama beyond our grasp.” Donna Seaman, LOS ANGELES TIMES “A lusty, pun-drunk first novel by the professional wiseacre and award-winning cartoon producer Jess Winfield . . . to say that Jess Winfield knows his Shakespeare is laughable understatement. Upside down – boy he knows him, inside out, and round and round . . . Winfield must have known how much harder it would be to pull off a strange eventful history like this one sans tights, sans stage, sans everything – but where there’s a will there’s a way. . . In MY NAME IS WILL, Winfield may be accused of treating his favorite literary lion unceremoniously. But, after all, no gentleman is a hero to his varlet.” Liesl Schillinger, NEW YORK TIMES “Pulls off a potentially clumsy conceit with nuance and panache, as the lives of our two Williams intersect across time and space with mind-bending results." Adriana Leshko, WASHINGTON POST “Happily outrageous . . . The sex throughout is well done and not for the prim . . .Winfield delights in puns from low to high (“iamb what iamb”'), and cleverly sprinkles conversations in the earlier age with lines that would later turn up in the plays... Well done, Winfield. Jeffrey Burke, BLOOMBERG.COM We have to agree, if you have not read this book, you should.
