Synopsis: 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 famous 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 Motley Crue 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.
Review: This is not my type of book at all, but I decided to go way outside my comfort zone for the final book of 2019. Holy crap. What a bizarre world/life. Definitely wouldn't be for me, but Bobbie's antics made for some entertaining reading. I also don't believe that everything happened the way she said it did, but props for putting it out there.
The "Cherry Pie" video made Bobbie Brown famous, and I watched the video to see. You barely see her or even have a chance to get a good look at her since the images flash by so quickly. I'm incredulous that this is what launched her career. They don't call it Hollyweird for nothing.
