Poor Little Bitch Girl, Jackie Collins' 27th Novel Goes On Sale Today!!!
By Jamey Giddens on February 09, 2010
The most soaptastic novelist since God wrote the bible, Jackie Collins is releasing her 27th book in the United States today, and to say I am a little excited would be like saying CBS is a little trigger happy when it comes to cancelling soap operas!
The most soaptastic novelist since God wrote the bible, Jackie Collins is releasing her 27th book in the United States today, and to say I am a little excited would be like saying CBS is a little trigger happy when it comes to cancelling soap operas!
Collins' latest bonkbuster, hilariously-entitled Poor Little Bitch Girl, revisits the world of the unstoppable Santangelo crime family. Only this time it isn't lady boss Lucky Santangelo—my favorite female fiction character ever—who's the center of attention, it's Lucky's son Bobby Santangelo Stanislopolous, son of late billionaire shipping magnate Dimitri Stanislopolous, and Lucky's wild child daughter Maria "Max" Golden, who sex and scandalize their way through the pages of what is sure to be another raunchy Collins scorcher.
Poor Little Bitch Girl introduces three new characters into the Santangelo universe—Annabelle, the daughter of Hollywood royalty, who runs a high-priced call-girl ring in New York with her cokehead boyfriend; Denver, a nymphomaniac attorney, who defends Annabelle's father when he is charged with the murder of Annabelle's mother and Carolyn, who's carrying on with a married senator. All three girls grew up with Lucky's son Bobby and share sordid pasts with the sex god.
A friend bought the novel for me on pre-order, so it should be waiting on my doorstep when I get home. Let's just say if you hear about anyone getting mowed down on a dark, Southern street tonight it's because they got in my way on the drive home! After the jump, check out the splashy, retro opening from the hit 80's NBC miniseries Lucky Chances (which combined Collins' first two Santangelo novels), starring Nicollette Sheridan as Lucky, Vincent Irizarry as Gino, Eric Braeden as Dimitri, Leanne Hunley as Eden, Michael Nader as Enzio, Phil Morris as Steven, Grant Show as Marco and a young Sandra Bullock as Maria Santangelo. If Fronsie buys the distribution rights to Lucky Chances and puts it on SOAPnet I promise I will never break another ABC Daytime scandal again! (Fingers, toes and all other crossable parts crossed).

Oooo Jamey i hope you don't keep that promise but I sure would loooove to see ANY of the Jackie Collins movies on Soapnet. Hell they fit more in the soap genre than that ridiculous Being Erica. The only Being Erica i would even possibly want to see is Being Erica KANE and we already have that.
k rant over lol.
Jackie Collins foreverrr!!
You know Jamey, when i listen to u on the podcasts and read ur articles, sometimes i think ur me but in a man's body LOL. (except for all the Liz love, of course)

I started reading the Lucky books back when I was a teenager working at the library. I remember reading the part of when Lucky's best friend was telling her she could give blowjobs and not have sex with guys. I was 16, never seen a naked man and was a virgin. That just blew me away. I was so shocked. It opened my eyes to all an all new world. Then Lucky ends up marry her best friend's dad! And Lucky's gay brother. That was the first time I read about a gay person.And to read all the stuff Carrie had to go though and how her brother pimped her out, that was tough to read.
I led a very sheltered life. That book really made my mouth drop.
Now I would like to see a series based on Lucky made but not on Soapnet. It would be too edited. I would like to see it on HBO. Jackie needs to get with HBO and start writing a series for HBO. Between that and Tru Blood, HBO would be unstoppable.
They could hire some soap actors. If this ended up on Soapnet, believe me Frons would hire KeMo to play Lucky in a hot second.

Big Dede I saw the miniseries first. I was 13-years-old and I became mesmerized with Nicollette Sheridan as Lucky! I became such a fan, I started watching Knots Landing, which before I had never seen. (Years later I watched the entire run of the show in syndication. My local ABC affiliate ran four episodes of Knots from 12-4 am one year. Needless to say my grades were in the toilet! Abby forever!) After seeing the miniseries, which had so many of my fave soap stars, I bought Chances, COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! I folowed it up with Lucky, then started reading all her other books like The Bitch, The Stud, Hollywood Wives, etc. The third Lucky book, Lady Boss is my favorite. Lucky Santangelo in Hollywood? Bet on it!

Looking forward to the new book. Love all of Jackie Collins books. Chances got me hooked on Jackie's stuff. I'm absolutely right there with you about Lucky being the best female fiction character, ever. Would love to see all of Jackie's books on TV again. Lifetime should run a marathon of the Lucky series & then the Hollywood Wives series like they do with other types of movies. WOW! Never realized that was Sandra Bullock as the young Maria.

My first Jackie Collins book was Hollywood Wives, and I got into the Lucky series shortly after that. I would love to see KeMo as Lucky, and I think Vincent Irrizarry could pull off Gino [because if I remember the last book I read in the series, he [still] isn't dead yet]...if SoapNet actually aired any of the old movies, I promise to Fronsie that I will never complain about the other noise they show on SoapNet again!

As with General Hospital, I would rather have Vanessa Marcil than Kemo.

Gino The Ram is my favorite non-daytime role of VI's; he positively SIZZLED as a goodfella with integrity! :) I have an Australian DVD of "Lucky/Chances" because AFAIK, the US copyright expired.
