Depending on who you talk to, he’s the life of the party or the butt of the joke, but one thing is for sure, Luc Carl’s new book, The Drunk Diet, definitely sounds doable. (It also sounds like his only weight-loss secret is to give up smoking and take up running … but just like his hair, there must be more layers.) Also, Carl says he wasn’t pushed out of the Ludlow Manor project for his own wrongdoings, like many have reported. Rather, he was used and abused. [NYT]
