“In essence, I’m nervous that a tribe of Real Housewives, celebrity publicists, and failed dates are going to show up at my apartment building with torches,” said Andy Cohen when asked what he’s expecting upon the release of his new, gleefully name-dropping book, Superficial. But Cohen is no stranger to the publishing game: He also happens to be a New York Times best-selling author, and overseer of a new book imprint under Henry Holt and Co. that he’s hoping will bring back the tell-all. Having dished everything from his tales of hanging at Cher’s house to offending Taylor Swift, he also shared his culture diet, here.
