Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

Chelsea welcomes back writer and bestie Jo Feldman to deep dive into the 1993 memoir of TV icon Fran Drescher. Together, they unpack her wild ride to fame with her sitcom, “The Nanny," to the plot twist in her marriage, a cameo from John Travolta, and of course, a sex moment with Warren Beatty! Plus, they try to figure out if Fran’s encounter with Princess Diana actually happened and if Weight Watchers stole good years from our lives!!!! (yes.)
