Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

Chelsea is joined by Smart Bitches Trashy Books host Sarah Wendell to break down Danielle Steel’s unhinged 2013 dog memoir “Pure Joy.” Spoiler alert! It’s not really about the dogs. They unpack Danielle’s FIVE marriages, her habit of surprise dog-gifting, and a 20-hour writing schedule that explains everything and nothing all at once. Plus, poop politics and a ranking system for dogs so tough, her first dog didn’t even make the dedication page.Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including suicide and sexual assault.

Chelsea is joined by writer and performer Ruby Karp (I Don’t Trust Adults) to cover Mara Wilson’s memoir, “Where Am I Now?” They unpack this introspective and honest look at child stardom and a career in the arts, from Mara’s days on the set of “Matilda” and “Mrs. Doubtfire” to what it was like to cross paths with fellow child actors like Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart, and have mentors like Robin Williams and Danny Devito.

Writer and showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas joins Chelsea for another Viral Article Book Club. This time, they’re diving into that Cut article, “Why Do These Women Inspire Such Rage?” The two friends unpack the article, which talks about why Meghan (Markle) Sussex and Blake Lively fuel so much ragebait. The two of them get into how these women are very different, the politics of likability, Justin Baldoni’s man bun, Gwyneth and her vagina candles, and how Elon and Trump are weak lil worms who couldn’t survive 1/10th of what women suffer on the internet without trying to make teasing them illegal. Follow Chelsea:Instagram @chelseadevantezWhere to order Chelsea’s book: Bookshop.org  Find other places to order Show Notes: Why Do These Women Inspire Such Rage?

Chelsea is joined by two returning icons, Traci Thomas (The Stacks) and Becca Platsky (Corporate Gossip), to cover “Careless People,” the explosive memoir by ex-Facebook exec Sarah Wynn-Williams. Weak boy Mark Cuckerburg tried to silence this book with an NDA from Facebook’s lawyers, and so it instantly became a best seller! Buckle up because this book is a Silicon Valley horror show meets a girlboss reckoning. Come for Sheryl Sandberg’s lingerie-inspired “come to bed” stories, stay for Mark Cuckerberg learning to read, and run for your life when you face the Harvard karaoke-loving idiots who are breaking democracy. And somehow…  it all circles back to Henry Kissinger.Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, and genocide.

Chelsea and Becca Platsky (host of the Corporate Gossip podcast) put on their office peplum and stinky ballet flats to travel back to 2013 and book club Sheryl Sandberg’s memoir "Lean In." This widely popular book told women to get a seat at the table, only for that table to be run by Mark Zuckerberg in a Benson Boone jumpsuit chugging from a red solo cup. They unpack Lean In's cultural impact and discuss whether or not you can draw a straight line from its publication to the disappearance of the Women's March come 2025. But fear not! Becca and Chelsea dissect, unpack, and make a plan for the future that does not include Sheryl’s dating advice to casually fly men to São Paulo for a vibe check.Follow Chelsea:Instagram @chelseadevantezShow Notes: Becca’s incredible episode research doc Kimberly Guilfoyle Memoir Ep (with Becca Platsky) Careless People (Facebook Exposé) NY Times Announcement/Book Review Sheryl Sandberg Lean In Interview (ABC News) Sophia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS Memoir Ep Where to find our Guest: Becca Platsky Tik Tok Instagram Podcast ***Glamorous Trash is all about going high and low at the same time— Glam and Trash.

Chelsea and Nora McInerny ("Thanks for Asking") dive into The Cut’s advice article, "My Friends Abandoned Me When They Had Kids." They break down how friendships shift when one person becomes a parent, the (questionable?) advice prescribed in The Cut, and whether it’s fair to expect single friends to just “wait it out.” Plus, Chelsea and Nora share their own experiences with friendship shake-ups and what it really means to show up for the people in your life -- kids or no kids.Follow Chelsea:Instagram @chelseadevantezWhere to order Chelsea’s book: Bookshop.org  Find other places to order Show Notes: My Friends Abandoned Me When They Had Kids (The Cut) How I Quit Having a Grudge Against Lena Dunham (The Cut) The Lure of Divorce (The Cut) Where to find our Guest: Nora McInerny Website Instagram Tiktok Thanks For Asking ***Glamorous Trash is all about going high and low at the same time— Glam and Trash.
