A BABA BOOEY BOOK

Book deal for Baba Booey: Howard Stern producer will write a memoir Howard Stern producer Gary Dell’Abate, a.k.a. Baba Booey, has scored a deal to write a memoir for Random House, SiriusBuzz reports. Stern mentioned the forthcoming book on his Wednesday show, according to the radio show’s website, and Dell’Abate joined him: Gary came in to say his shrink has a theory about growing up in the Dell’Abate household: “Every day when you turned the doorknob, you didn’t know if you were going to be kicked in the teeth emotionally or hugged.” Howard laughed: “Everything with you is teeth!” Gary said his boyhood home’s front door prepared him for working on the show: “It’s kind of like opening the door to the studio every day.” Expect an early November release for “They Call Me Baba Booey,” which Dell’Abate will write with author Chad Millman, who previously co-wrote mixed martial artist and UFC champ Chuck Lidell’s autobiography. Perhaps that experience has prepared Millman for working with a member of Stern’s crew? SOURCE: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2010/04/howard-stern-baba-booey-book-deal-memoir.html

Stern Show’s Gary Dell’Abate Inks Book Deal

Stern Show’s Gary Dell’Abate Inks Book Deal April 28, 2010 (1:18 pm) Spencer Osborne The Howard Stern Show has been a prolific part of radio for more than two decades. Throughout the years, many Stern Show participants have benefited from their association with Howard. There have been books, comedy tours, web sites, acting gigs, and even DJ businesses that have all blossomed from the success of the morning radio staple. The latest news is that Stern Show producer Gary Dell’Abate, also known as BaBa Booey, will be penning a book due out November 3rd of this year. The title… “They Call Me BaBa Booey”. The book is virtually certain to sell many copies. In the past other show participants, including Artie Lange have had great success selling their books. Dell’Abate’s book is about everything from his relationship with his mother, to his now famous first pitch at a Met’s game. The pitch has gone down as one of the worst opening pitches in history, and fans certainly never let him forget it. The ball was even auctioned off, and the proud owner is TSS-Radio. They Call Me BaBa Booey is already available for pre-order on Amazon.com for $16.50. If that is not tantalizing enough, there will be an audio book available as well, which is certain to wind up in many Stern Show bits, prank calls, and a general topic of discussion on the show. Still want more? Imagine the appearances on talk show’s. Gary on Letterman, Regis and Kelly, or even with John Stewart. It will be priceless, and not only give the book exposure, but Sirius XM and the Stern Show as well. Position – Long Sirius XM Radio source

Robert Pattinson Reveals His Hip-Hop Dreams On ‘Oprah’

‘I used to want to be a rapper,’ the ‘Twilight’ heartthrob tells Oprah during ‘Eclipse’ episode. By Josh Wigler Robert Pattinson on “Oprah” Photo: Harpo Productions Robert Pattinson is best known for his turn as vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in “The Twilight Saga,” but if the actor had followed through on his teenage hopes, he would have walked down a very different career path — as a rapper. “I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14,” the British actor revealed during an appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” set to air Thursday. Pattinson, who was joined on the show by co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to promote the release of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” in June, explained that his interest in American movies, music and other entertainment helped him develop his American accent as Edward in “Twilight.” “But Kristen thinks I do the most terrible American accent,” he joked. “No, no I don’t,” Stewart laughed in response. “Occasionally, some word will come out, and I’ll be like, ‘We don’t say that!’ ” Of course, Pattinson did not pursue his youthful dreams of becoming a rapper. Instead, he became one of the most prominent icons in modern popular culture, thanks to his involvement in the “Twilight” series. “It’s a great position to be in, because you can walk into a room and everybody’s screaming,” he laughed of his association to “Twilight.” But Pattinson believes that fans are more passionate about his “Twilight” character than they are of the actor himself. “It’s not really about you,” he said. “So it never really goes to your head, and you can kind of participate in it. It’s about the fans themselves.” Are you looking forward to the “Eclipse” episode on “Oprah”? Let us know in the comments!

Top 10 Most-Complained-About Books In 2009

The American Library Association has released their list of the books most challenged by parents in 2009. Apparently parents still think that 1) their kids don't watch television; 2) their kids actually use libraries; and 3) their kids can READ. Of course Twilight makes the list, but surprisingly not because of the shittacular writing. View
