Actress and activist Alyssa Milano has spent almost her entire life in the public eye. A famous child actor, she has continued to work throughout her adulthood in both television and film, most notably starring in the wildly popular television series Who's the Boss? and Charmed. These essays capture the American spirit at its best—bold, patriotic, progressive, and honest. In difficult times, they were a pleasure to read.”

He lost it, and started screaming at me in front of the crew. “I’ve been running this show for six years!” he yelled. I enjoyed reading about her early years of being thrust into the entertainment business at only a few months old, to wincing at her pain when she had to return to a regular life in grade school, to giving up ever acting again, to being open and honest about those few years after high school before the fame as she dodged the sketchy Southern California streets. To getting her life together, fixing up her credit, completing a film course in NYC all by herself away from home and giving acting one more try after her mind was set against it...which led to her big breakthrough. He looked calm and confident, so we accepted it all. Many of us have not understood how dependence worked, nor were we aware of its extent.”

Success!

I'm giving it 5 stars because it had me doing what all my favourite books do; carrying it everywhere in case a spare minute presents itself to read more, sneaking away from my colleagues to read uninterrupted at lunch, simultaneously anticipating time to read it and then purposefully delaying reading too much because I didn't want it to end.

This book is an unflinching and self-aware look into the life of one of the most visible progressives in America. Everyone who cares about this country should read it.”We sat there, his TV family and his real family, all mixed together in the waiting room, praying and trying to comfort one another. When the doctor came out to tell us that Redd had passed, he delivered the news to the entire group. Alyssa Milano is smart, thoughtful, leader who leads with courage, sincerity, and love. Her essays offer critical insights and important solutions to many of the formidable issues of our time, providing a pathway for us to come together and navigate through our country’s greatest challenges.” On a side note – Can authors stop writing characters called Xander – My son’s name used to be unusual. Third book this year I’ve read with a Xander and it’s only February! It was not an autobiography which you knew from reading the flap. It's a collection of essays on things mostly political. And every single one of those ended up talking about the same thing. It should have been split between personal and political for it to have flowed better.

Rivera: I didn’t intend to stop, but I saw that the media portrait is “Oh, this is a slambook,” but it isn’t at all what it is. It was not like that. Milano also said: “Unity cannot only happen if people can pass an ideological purity test identifying who is a good human and who is a bad human. Of course there are lines, but our line shouldn't be ‘That person supports eliminating the estate tax, they're on the bad list forever.’ We need to convince our opponents that they are wrong, not demonise them for disagreeing.” YES 👏🏻 Book by Naya Rivera sorry not sorry Calls Out Michelle, Big Sean, Mark Salling, Ariana Grande, and More My biggest gripe about this book is that she marketed to the media as gossip. She talked a lot about Lea Michele in the media and that we just need to get the book and such. Well, I got the book - I wanted the trashy gossip. Was it there? Not really. The pay-off was really small. I found out that Lea Michelle was professional and didn't go out and party, hardly juicy gossip. I found out that half the cast were sleeping with each other, but do I know who? Nope. Not a clue. I just thought that if you are going to market as gossip then GOSSIP!!! Give me something to work with Naya.After the two got engaged after just six months of dating, she says that Sean became completely unresponsive. “I was starting to see that the realities of a relationship just weren’t sexy to a rapper who wanted to have his cake and not just eat it too but spread frosting all over the place. ( Too much? Sorry not sorry!)” Then when he was avoiding her, she went to his house, only to find someone on his couch. Honest, unsparing, and at times humorous self reflection that gets at where we are and what we’ve been through together.” The book made me giggle in parts but I found the pacing at the beginning a little slow and took a while to warm to the characters, including the new roommates. From about half-way, the book came alive and I raced to the finish line. At the young and tender age of seven months, she made her acting debut. She had no choice but to crawl around the floors for a Kmart company with nothing but a drawn board. do i like Glee? no, but i love drama, i got this for a euro and i'm obsessed, finished it in 3 hours. just doing research to be ready for The Price Of Glee ✌🏻.

Extensions of DIY hair and highlights at home. The experts have some of the best stuff left, like hair coloring. All those times I scrawled “I HATE MY MOM” in my journal. So many moms and teenage daughters don’t get along–we just have to realize it’s nothing personal on either side. We get to follow Charlotte as she goes through a list of challenges that are supposed to improve her life which will in turn bag her a man of her dreams, though it’s not plain sailing. Alyssa Milano is an actress, activist, and great patriot, whose love of country shines through her book, Sorry Not Sorry. Part memoir, part call to action, Milano delivers critical insights and lessons on life, politics, family and country, and always with humor and passion. In vivid prose, she invites the reader into her heart and home, and gives us a keen sense of what drives her advocacy.

There are some nice stories about Corey in the book, she was close to him so his death hit her pretty hard. It was nice getting a closer look at what happened there as I was a big fan of his and was broken-hearted when he lost his battle with drugs and alcohol. There were also some cute stories about Naya and Diana Argon. That's about it though. After rewatching glee on Netflix I got this undeniable urge to read this book mostly for behind the scenes TEA and to know the woman behind my favourite character from the show - Santana Lopez, the mean Biatch. And the Queen didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed the book. The stories in itself are honest and funny. But i am not entirely convinced how they were put together. (It gets better towards the end, but misses a real conclusion) Alyssa is also a lifelong activist and is passionate about fighting for human rights around the world.
