The Andy Cohen Diaries
The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look at a Shallow Year | Andy Cohen
14 posts | 27 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
A year in the whirlwind life of the beloved pop icon Andy Cohen, in his own cheeky, candid, and irreverent wordsAs a TV Producer and host of the smash late night show Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen has a front row seat to an exciting world not many get to see. In this dishy, detailed diary of one year in his life, Andy goes out on the town, drops names, hosts a ton of shows, becomes codependent with Real Housewives, makes trouble, calls his mom, drops some more names, and, while searching for love, finds it with a dog. We learn everything from which celebrity peed in her WWHL dressing room to which Housewives are causing trouble and how. Nothing is off limits including dating. We see Andy at home and with close friends and family (including his beloved and unforgettable mom). Throughout, Andy tells us not only what goes down, but exactly what he thinks about it. Inspired by the diaries of another celebrity-obsessed Andy (Warhol), this honest, irreverent, and laugh-out-loud funny book is a one-of-a-kind account of the whos and whats of pop culture in the 21st century.

Centique So now I‘m googling “who is Andy cohen, what is vanderpump rules” 😂😂 No idea what any of these things are!! Truly I am on the other side of the world on this… 🤣 looking forward to posting my one. 11mo
batsy @Centique Same! 😆 11mo
Cinfhen So funny @batsy @Centique I “assume” the ENTIRE UNIVERSE knows about Andy Cohen and Vanderpump Rules 😂😂😂😂 trust me, it‘s better to just stay away. The rabbit hole goes DEEP 11mo
squirrelbrain Took me a minute to work out RH, but I have watched some of them. I know Lisa but haven‘t watched Vanderpump Rules. I don‘t know Andy Cohen either, or is he the one who hosts the reunion shows? 11mo
Cinfhen Yesssss, Andy hosts the reunions and Watch What Happens Live, a nightly live talk show about everything that‘s going on with the reality shows on the Bravo network @squirrelbrain he‘s also BFF with Anderson Cooper 👯‍♂️ 11mo
BarbaraBB I don't know the book nor the song but I am confident they are the best! 11mo
Cinfhen They are BOTH high on the 🧀 scale @barbarbb 11mo
CarolynM I once had cocktails with one of the Real Housewives of Auckland - how‘s that for a claim to fame🤣🤣🤣 @Centique 11mo
Cinfhen Oh WOW! You‘re a celebrity @CarolynM 😁😘 11mo
swishandflick Scandoval has consumed my reality TV heart ever since it broke, haha 11mo
Cinfhen Hahaha @swishandflick my daughter literally talks about it all day! Like she actually knows these people and she‘s truly outraged 😂😂 11mo
TheBookHippie I love Andy- especially him and Anderson together!!! I don‘t watch RH -but I know it‘s a thing. He did good by making the franchise back in the day it‘s still going strong! 11mo
TrishB I‘m so glad someone else already said they didn‘t have a clue! 11mo
Meshell1313 Yass!!! Bravo is life!!! 🙌🙌🙌 11mo
Rissreads @Centique same! 11mo
Centique @CarolynM ha ha! I don‘t know who they are either! But it‘s a good claim to fame. 👍 I met Lorde‘s mum a couple times before her daughter Ella became Lorde, we both helped out this Women‘s Refuge fundraising thing. 11mo
Blaire Super fun choices! My tiny andy Cohen connection is that he apparently adopted a rescue pet from the local shelter here…I‘m not an RH watcher but lots of my friends are devotees. 11mo
Cinfhen I love everyone‘s six degrees from famous connections @Blaire @Centique FINALLY someone knows what I‘m talking about @Meshell1313 @TheBookHippie !!!!! Sorry @TrishB @Rissreads #WhenYouKnowYouKnow xxxx 11mo

I love a memoir. And I guilt watch reality tv housewives. Thought this would be interesting. About a quarter in I was mildly intrigued and thought something was about to hook me. Halfway through I thought is this all this book is? It‘s a self-indulgent day by day of someone‘s privileged life with not a ton of gratitude and lot of activity hopping. I was half through so I didn‘t bail though. I would be we read it again.

marleed It was one I read and quickly passed on, as well - disappointing because I‘m otherwise entertained by Andy Cohen. 14mo
Britdarko Thanks for the comment. Happy to hear I wasn‘t alone :) 14mo

I love a Manhattan setting, think Andy Cohen is a hoot, and laughed at parts of this. In one year‘s time Andy connected with many mostly famous friends & colleagues, as well as family. I can‘t get to a pick here because it‘s a lot - a lot - of name dropping. Even his beloved dog has famous dog friends! It reads more like his 2013-14 calendar than a diary. That said, I‘m now curious about the Andy Warhol Diaries.

Reagan Personally, I love the Andy Warhol Diaries so much. This one just didn‘t do it for me at all and I bailed. 4y
marleed @Reagan There‘s really nothing of value rather than an occasional chuckle in this book for me. But I love to thrift for books so it will be fun trying to find Andy Warhol- or, it is available from my library download today! (edited) 4y
LapReader I love to thrift for books too. 4y
marleed @LapReader it‘s so much easier for me to purge thrifted books than books I pay full price for. I‘m trying to limit my full price purchases to 5 star library reads that I just want to physically own. My exception being a few authors that are just fun for me to prepay for - but that typically comes with a happy discount! 4y

Oh I tried but I just can‘t. I am just about halfway and dreading reading it. I really liked his memoir and I love the Andy Warhol Diaries but I was hoping for more celebrity gossip and less about his dog pooping. I think this is only for die hard fans.

Megabooks I bailed on this too! 😴😴 5y
Reagan @Megabooks total snoozer! 5y

The Real Housewives franchise has been a guilty pleasure of mine since 2008. Unfortunately, reading (or listening) to Andy's diary was a waste of time and it was definitely juvenile. I just CAN'T with this book. 😩😩 Sorry, Andy!

I've been sick for nearly a week now and this book has been my best companion. I'm not doing anything quick right now, especially reading, but this book is exactly what the doctor forgot to order.

I like Andy Cohen. I get what he was going for here; unfortunately, he missed the mark. There's no humor or insight - it's just 343 pages of name-dropping and neuroses. If I'd wanted that, I could have just called my ex.

Clairelinic I'm such a sucker for name dropping. I'd be embarrassed but the Seinfelds' once told me over brunch to live my best life. 8y

Guys, don't hate because I'm bringing some lowbrow swagger-this is the first book I could concentrate for after having a baby. Sorta fun to vicariously live AC's life, but wear close-toed shoes so you don't get hurt from the gratuitous name dropping!

todd Ha...great review. Not going to stack it though 😜 8y
