CHICAGO – Reality shows are comfort food to millions because they deliver
exactly what viewers expect. You know precisely what you’re getting out
of “Extreme Makeover: Home

Edition,” “Bridezillas,” or “The Bachelor”.
The names and faces may be different but the experience of each season
is essentially the same. The same goes for “The Celebrity Apprentice”
and if you garnered guilty pleasure thrills from last season, it’s hard
to believe that’s going to change this year.

As Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice”
had begun to scrape the bottom of the barrel when it came to actually
talented applicants, producer Mark Burnett realized that it was time to
change the game and merge the concept with something
more like what was making VH1 millions with
their B- or C-list celebrity programs like “Rock of Love” or “The
Surreal Life”. It was an incredibly smart decision as anyone can tell
you that watching celebrities screw up for charity is far more
entertaining than watching no-name businessmen make baffling decisions
in the pursuit of fattening their own pocketbook.

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 04, 2008 – Gigi Garner’s inspiring new book, Girl Talk, is filled with amazing little secrets that women have learned through their life experiences. It’s a book for women, by women, and should be on every woman’s must-have list.

“This book is about moving forward. It’s about learning, evolving and improving ourselves,” says Gigi Garner, author and daughter of actor James Garner.

Gigi Garner interviewed as many savvy women as she could and asked them a variety of questions, such as, “What little secrets do you have locked away inside of you that make your life better?” What she ended up with was a slew of interesting answers and a fascinating book filled with inspiring, uplifting examples of how today’s women survive the pressures of a busy 21st century lifestyle.

The secrets include makeup tips, shopping and cleaning tricks, friendship and career advice, parenting suggestions, travel tips, home-decorating ideas, fashion advice and so much more. The secrets are short, helpful tidbits that can make any woman’s life a little happier and a little easier.

Girl Talk: Celebrities and other Extraordinary Women Share Their Secrets (Five Star Publications) includes contributions from famous female friends, such as Shari Belafonte, Kim Alexis, Naomi Judd, Lucie Arnaz, Sally Struthers, Rona Barrett, Joan Rivers and her daughter, Melissa.

It also includes many secrets that come straight from real women just like you.  Women are known for being voracious communicators. When women get together, whether they are strangers or friends, they are compelled to share ideas and knowledge. Girl Talk is a celebration of that sisterhood.

“There’s something in this book for every woman,” says Garner. It’s the perfect hostess gift for the next time you attend a party. It’s also perfect for every birthday, holiday or any special occasion.

Girl Talk: Celebrities and other Extraordinary Women Share Their Secrets (ISBN 1-58985-051-3 / ISBN: 978-1-58985-052-1), nonfiction, paperback, is published by Five Star Publications, P.O.
