Overview

When Lisa Jey Davis (aka Ms. Cheevious) decided to tell her story of working in television as a single mom in Tinseltown, she did it the only way she knew how - with mischief, loads of chocolate, and an ounce of vodka. From surviving red-carpet chaos and celebrity egos to raising two boys and rebuilding life one laugh at a time, Lisa Jey proved that humor and heart can turn even the toughest chapters into unforgettable adventures. Winner of Best Unpublished Manuscript at the New York Book Festival and later the #1 Bestselling New Release in Single Parenting on Amazon, Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood returns in this 10th Anniversary Edition with fresh updates, new stories, and reflections from a life that has since blossomed-with love, purpose, and a little more wisdom (but thankfully, no less mischief). Welcome (back) to Ms. Cheeviousland-where nothing is sacred, everything is possible, and the only rule is to enjoy every moment. In this updated and hilariously candid 10th Anniversary Edition, Lisa Jey revisits the wild years that followed her divorce - the ones that unleashed her on an unsuspecting Hollywood - and shares a few new tales from the adventures that came after. Whether she's hiding from an interested guy in a Vegas casino, her son is mistaken for a homeless guy, her best friend is forced to scrub in to help choose her boobs' implant size, or she's getting turned away from a strip club for being a little too tipsy, Lisa Jey always manages to find herself in the most ridiculous situations. Laced with humor, heart, and the unbreakable bond she shares with her two boys, Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood celebrates reinvention, resilience, and the art of laughing through life's plot twists. With new reflections, fresh stories, and just as much mischief, Lisa Jey Davis reminds us why she'll always be the one and only Ms. Cheevious.
