Red Carpet Diaries: Confessions of a Glamour Boy
$13.95
More times than not, I found "Cojo" more interesting than some of the celebs he dished some info out on, because a lot of them turned out to be the way I suspected. Although I was quite pleased that he declared oft creepy Hugh Grant to be a "wanker," I was more interested in the fashionista himself--the reason I picked up the book in the first place. It was hard to put it down once I began reading.

Cojo is fun, witty, and seems to be a genuinely nice, honest guy. When I first saw the king of campy on the Today Show, I was positively blown away by his individuality and fearlessness of being true to himself. That's what I really got out of his book; the fact that I share a long history of being regarded as a social freak and how he didn't let anybody stop him from becoming a success in his own right. He also confesses that celebrities are chislers and not often as great to meet as a lot of people think--in other words, they're just like everyone else with the exception of PR and far more money than they often deserve. I'm looking forward to his next book, which is the reason I only gave this one 4 stars. Here's to hoping it's even better.
