Bill Maher's ex-girlfriend is more than someone who used to perform sexual acts on a disturbing large number of hip-hop artists. She's someone who used to perform sexual acts on a disturbingly large number of hip-hop artists…and wrote a crappy book about it.

• Lesson learned: Saying harsh things about somebody and then actually showing up at said person's book party = awkward/ill-advised.

• Wearing terrible dresses, experimenting with video karaoke and gyrating awkwardly to the musical stylings of Boyz II Men … Ah, growing up Jewish.
