Brandi Glanville's Book Drinking & Tweeting: 8 Incredible Revelations

drinking and tweeting.jpg
Is there a Pulitzer category for memoirs by jilted reality stars who like to talk smack about ex-husbands and "bonus moms?" Because if so, this book should win it.

And we're not joking for one second. Drinking & Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville and not-so-ghostwriter Leslie Bruce is the best piece of celeb literature we've ever come across. It's like one long US Weekly book that never gets boring. It's first-hand gossip you can savor like a big, juicy steak.

Considering Glanville became famous only when her husband was caught cheating with an also very married LeAnn Rimes, it's fair to say her life has been in a tailspin for the last few years. And she details every morsel of it in this book (holding out only the parts she's legally bound to not disclose). But she gets very personal about the drugs she's taken. She discusses every minute detail of her vaginal rejuvenation surgery. And more than anything, she rips LeAnn Rimes a new one.

Basically, she's been publicly humiliated, has sh*t to say and doesn't give a f*ck. Here are some of Glanville's best soliloquies from the book.

8. On medicating herself:
"People have criticized me for being open about my use of antidepressent and antianxiety drugs, wondering why I would admit to something like that. My response? Fuck you. There is nothing wrong with treating a neurochemical imbalance. In fact, I think it's negligent to ignore problems and hope that with enough sleep and a healthy diet they'll just go away. Bullshit. I'm hoping that my sharing my story will help another struggling mom out there -- plus I never intend to give up Del Taco."

7. On not having employable skills:
"When my life took an unimaginable turn, I was completely unprepared. While I was sure of a handful of things -- I could rock the smallest bikini, fuck like a rock star, and make a homemade penne Bolognese that would change your life -- I was insecure about my actual ability to make a living."

6. On her coping skills:
"Considering that I was simultaneously watching [LeAnn Rimes] fill my shoes entirely and completely take over my life (#SingleWhiteFemale), I'm pretty lucky that I didn't become a fucking crack whore or a heroin-addicted stripper. Well, the stripper option was briefly on the table, but heroin? Not a chance. I saw first hand how that fucks people up. #Models.

5. On why she decided to have vaginal rejuvenation surgery:
"Later that night, over a glass of sauvignon blanc, it occurred to me: a brand-new vagina would be an Eddie-free vagina. It would be something completely unknown to him and would offer me the fresh start I so desperately deserved. It was time for my pussy to be reborn."

Rimes had hoped she could steal another woman's family, then taunt, stalk, and harass her with impunity for four long years.

They took her house from under her, her savings was tied to the house, tried to take her children, left her homeless and penniless,  no alimony, little to no child support either. He arrived in a new Porsche', bought Rimes an 80k diamond engagement ring, then filed for a reduction in child support effectively forcing Glanville to leave her new rental house.


Rimes taunted her with text messages after the affair was discovered:
 "cant wait to make lunch for MY boys and take them to soccer (practice)".

Tweeting photos of her babies, which she still does. Tweeting ugly things about Brandi, several new zingers just last week.

Rimes fans harassed her about her PRIVATE gyno surgery on Twitter, they created illustrated cartoons, they tweeted en masse.

Glanville had only told her husband. It was private. Who do you think told Rimes closet Twitter fans all Brandi's personal business?

Rimes used her publicist to plant stories, then to whitewash her own actions. There were four more "boohoo, poor me", Rimes primetime interviews in the past few weeks.

Glanville only had Twitter to expose the actions, to protect herself and her children.

Now, finally, Glanville, after four years gets to explain what she went through and what really has been happening.

@CharlotteCartright Exactly!  This book was delicious, I enjoyed it from start to finish. Leann has taunted this woman endlessly over her own children. Who does that???  Leann is a spoiled brat, surrounded by 'yes people.'  She's never been told 'no' on anything.
