KeKe Palmer



Singer/actress KeKe Palmer currently stars in one of my favorite TV shows, Fox's Scream Queens. This multitalented actress broke through in the movie, Akeelah and the Bee, and then in Madea's Family Reunion. KeKe also starred in Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP. Tonight find out who the Red Devil is in the season finale of Scream Queens! I can't wait! I'm also excited to see her on Grease Live in January!

What book does KeKe Palmer have in her bag?


According to Us Weekly's What's In My Bag?, among her makeup, Chicago Cubs hat, and Kindle, KeKe has a A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson in her 3.1 Phillip Lim satchel.

From Library Journal:
A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles  is based on the author's experiences as a teacher and lecturer on the self-study guide A Course in Miracles (Foundation for Inner Peace, 1975), the students of which attribute its authorship to Jesus Christ. Using humorous personal narrative, Williamson explains how applying love to all difficulties, as advised by "The Course," can aid in healing.

James Michael



James Michael is the melodic voice of the band Sixx: A.M. Sixx: A.M.'s hit song "Life is Beautiful" topped the rock charts in 2007 on their debut album. Two albums later, Sixx: A.M. is still creating rockin' hits like "Lies of the Beautiful People"  and "Stars." They just finished their first headlining tour which I was able to catch this past spring. James is an amazing frontman and had performed with a giant smile the majority of the concert. You can tell that band has so much fun together!

Besides fronting this killer rock band, Michael is also a producer and songwriter. He's worked with Papa Roach, Kelly Clarkson, Halestorm, Motley Crue, Meat Loaf, and many more artists.

What is James Michael reading?

James posted this photo of his latest read on Instagram:

 
James is reading BRAIN ON FIRE: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan. This memoir  chronicles Cahalan's struggle to recapture her identity after finding herself strapped into a bed in a hospital one fateful day.

Nikki Sixx

Nikki Sixx is a musician, photographer, author, and radio show host. He's the bassist and songwriter of two successful bands that I love - Motley Crue and Sixx: A.M.  Motley Crue toured the US for the final time in 2014 and will tour Europe this year. I was able to see them two nights in a row in November. I can't believe I will never see them live again!! Nikki's radio show Sixx Sense can be heard nationwide.  He's also authored three books - The Dirt, The Heroin Diaries, and This Is Gonna Hurt.  He's even been featured here  before (and will be again!).



What is Nikki Sixx reading?


He recently posted on Instagram, "A new year, a new book" with a photo of the cover of An Invisible Thread: The true story of an 11-year-old panhandler, a busy sales executive, and an unlikely meeting with destiny.


This uplifting book is a best seller by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski.
