An uncensored Hollywood tell-all filled with explicit tales of love, sex, and revenge from the video vixen made famous by Warrant's rock anthem "Cherry Pie." Who could forget the sexy "Cherry Pie" girl from hair metal band Warrant's infamous music video? Bobbie Brown became a bona fide vixen for her playful role as the object of lead singer Jani Lane's desires. But the wide-eyed Louisiana beauty queen's own dreams of making it big in Los Angeles were about to be derailed by her rock-and-roll lifestyle. After her tumultuous marriage to Jani imploded, and her engagement to fast-living Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee ended in a drug haze--followed by his marriage later to Pamela Anderson--Bobbie decided it was time Hollywood's hottest bachelors got a taste of their own medicine. Step one: get high. Step two: get even. In a captivating, completely uncensored confessional, Bobbie explicitly recounts a life among some of the most famous men in Hollywood: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, Mark McGrath, Dave Navarro, Sebastian Bach, Ashley Hamilton, Rob Pilatus of Milli Vanilli, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Orgy's Jay Gordon, and many more. No man was off limits as the fun-loving bombshell spiraled into excess, anger, and addiction. Bobbie survived the party--barely--and her riveting, cautionary comeback tale is filled with the wildest stories of sex, drugs, and rock and roll ever told.… (altro)

A cautionary tale that follows a cast of self-involved and drug addicted rock stars and rock enthusiast girls/models passing around the same Dicks and Vajeans and neglecting any sense of responsibility. As someone not terribly far from the author's age (she is about 7 years my senior) I grew up loving the same bands she loved, probably hanging up the same posters, but I only dreamed of being with Jani Lane, Sebastian Bach or Matthew Nelson. In middle school, I wrote what would be considered fanfiction today, about what it would be like to be someone like Bobbie Brown. Now that I know what that was like I am not as jealous anymore. It sounded like it once was a heartbreaking existence in which she surfed from rocker's beds to sofas with a child often in tow, only to end up (at one point) where I was in life (a witty administrative assistant. LOL) and happy for its normalcy. It just goes to show ya. I do admire the tenderness she showed towards her ex-husband at the end, and how she turned herself around for herself and ultimately for her daughter (who it appears previously took a back seat to the drugs and men drifting in and out of her life).

Overall, I am not sure what way the author meant to go with this book. At certain points the reader may think this book is supposed to be about her life of leaving a small sleepy town full of ambition, just to find a little fame and plummet down to the depths of which she had to crawl (and there is a bit of that here), but at most points it reads more like a titillating tell-all that highlights how many drugs she did and dicks she got to play with. In my opinion that is perfectly fine if you do it with the style and flare of Pamela Des Barres. That style was not present, unfortunately. Mostly this book felt disjointed. A lot of surfaces were left barely scratched, leaving this all about surfaces. Kudos to her for telling her story, though.

PS. WTF Dave Navarro? LOL ( )

This was actually surprisingly engrossing. I really didn't like or identify with Bobbie, but the story itself was really interesting. ( )
