Catherine StrawnNovember 2, 2009 //


unSweetined, Jodie Sweetin‘s book about her drug addiction and recovery, officially hits bookstores tomorrow, and the former “Full House” star spoke to Matt Lauer on “Today” this morning.

She even bought some coke, which she hid in her makeup compact, on the flight. Keep reading »

Jodie Sweetin’s Book Not So, Uh, Sweet

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 26, 2009 //

You can tell a lot about a book by the first sentence. And the first sentence of Jodie Sweetin’s memoir is pretty telling: “F**k it” (only without the astericks). You probably remember Jodie as Stephanie Tanner on “Full House,” the middle sister with blonde hair who had perfected the art of wearing a scrunchie. So when she popped out of obscurity in 2006 and appeared on “Good Morning America” to reveal that she was a recovering coke and meth addict, it was pretty shocking. Turns out, it was only half true—she was an addict, but she was hardly recovered. She had a serious relapse, even as she began touring the country and warning college students about the dangers of drugs. Next Tuesday, Jodie’s memoir Unsweetined comes out, and finally she’s ready to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And it’s pretty gritty. Read an excerpt after the jump.

  • Vera Wang, along with Betsey Johnson and Carmen Marc Valvo, has decided not to have a flashy fashion show at the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week in February. We think this has less to do with being politically correct and more to do with financial security. [Perez Hilton]
