The kids from Jersey Shore give great advice on certain things: gyms, tanning and laundry. Fist pumping, partying and good Italian food. What we don’t expect is Vinny, the mama’s boy, to give life advice. He says it himself in the intro to the book, “I mean, who do I think I [...]

Political mistresses are a topic that everyone would probably be happy to see off the newsstands for a while. Clinton, Edwards, Schwarzenegger – the list goes on. The tabloids publish the story, it hits the evening news, everyone hears about it, but these affairs are no longer kept secret. No political scandal is off limits.
