Anyone read Paul Mooney's new book?

oh shit!! He has a book out?

I just finished it and it was great, could not put it down. There were several times where I actually laughed out loud. There was a lot of stuff in there about Richard Pryor (of course) and I even found out some things I didn't know (he dated Lori Petty for five years!!!!!) I read it in less than a week. If you are a fan, you should Definitely pick it up.

DanceWme said:

Maybe they were just out shoe shopping and people thought they were dating

Damn when did this book come out?

Yeah I posted about it prior to its release thanx for the reminder, I need to check this and I need him to released a new stand up video

Paul can claim he's a constant customer at the fish market all he wants,,,,,dude doesn't fool me with his beef addiction

I looooove me some Paul Mooney, he enjoys stepping on people's toes,,,,NOT all people though, the clueless living-in-a-fantasy crowd.

you freakin' kill me

i really like paul too. i like that one has got to be gutsy & know damned well what they're talking about before going up against him or they'll be ripped to shreds

PricelessHo said:

If I'm not mistaken, he was the one who discovered and mentored Robin Williams and Sandra Bernhard

His tirades against his audience are CLASSIC

Ya'll keep oohin & ahhin and I might get rid of ya'll, thats why Diana Ross got rid of them bitches

Paul ALWAYS have the last word though,,,,no matter how gutsy some folks are, that man is QUICK

Harlepolis said:

i'm sure Diane loved hearing that

and about Bernhard, i don't want to go off topic so i'll orgnote you something about her in a few.

PricelessHo said:

I think Diane hates his gut after what he said in one of the BET awards His jokes were so cruel, at some point her daughter Traci Ellis Ross(who attended the show) stormed out of the show crying.

Harlepolis said:

Ain't Paul's fault the old crow can't hold her liquor. Paul's just tellin' it like it is.

Doesn't Paul have a history of dating models? I thought his current girlfriend was a former model. Either way, something's up as even Richar refers to Paul as Ms. Mooney in the book.

Harlepolis said:

oh shit

i believe there was a ms.mooney moment too at the richard pryor roast.

yes yes there was, i remember even asking aisha then what that was about

PricelessHo said:

I would love to see that roast now. I remember Wendy always inferred that Mooney was gay also. Whatever the case, dude is funny.

Just saw him on Tavis promoting the book.

PricelessHo said:

Richard Pryor, god rest his soul. I wouldn't put sucking dicks that far fitched from him either

He even said to his audience in one of his early stand-ups

Ya'll act like ya'll NEVER sucked a dick before

HELLO!?

Harlepolis said:

there's got to be some sort of old, rotten, unfinished business between him & Oprah for him to go off on her like that

he seriously charges up whenever it's Oprah time

Harlepolis said:

umm

PricelessHo said:

His thing with Oprah is all jokes, he always said that he loves her. But he went in HARD on Howard Stern

JackieBlue said:

@ protection of the complexion for the collection

That was the BEST Tavis interview simply because I loved how Paul made him feel uneasy in some of the moments

Thanx for sharing this, Miss Jackie.

Harlepolis said:

But he did appear on Howard's show.

Check what he said about Sarah Jessica Parker in the beginning



Thank you Paul Mooney, THANK YOU
