Don’t Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings: Madea’s Uninhibited Commentaries on Love and Life
by Tyler Perry (2007-02-06)
average customer review: 
(125)
One could say that if the title of this book confuses you, then you probably shouldn't be reading it. But, as Madea helpfully suggests, "If you don't understand something I'm saying here and you're not black, you will have to ask somebody who is." Madea is the fierce alter ego of Tyler Perry, who has paraded the trash-talking matron through a series of hit gospel plays and films.

(15)
Self-destructive war journalist Pierre Peders feels that his current puff-piece assignment, an interview with pop diva, TV and movie star Katya, is beneath his dignity. The two meet in a restaurant and, instantly, it's a collision of two worlds. But perhaps all is not as it appears.

James Stewart
by Donald Dewey ()
average customer review: 
(8)
Dewey offers a rare treatment of a star: an actor's career documented and analyzed with skill and integrity. After arguing persuasively that Stewart's acting ability, in range of expression and depth of emotion, exceeded that of his Hollywood contemporaries, Dewey examines all of Stewart's films and the defining events of his life in an attempt to discover the wellspring of Stewart's inspiration.

Scrubs: The Complete Seventh Season
by Adam Bernstein, Bill Lawrence, Chris Koch, Gail Mancuso, Linda Mendoza (2008-11-11)
Touchstone / Buena Vista Home Entertainment (236 minutes)
average customer review: (68)
Scrubs staged a near-miraculous recovery in its seventh season; this despite the usual indifferent treatment by the network, low ratings, and a writer's strike that only allowed for 11 episodes. In this case, less was more.
