...pack in dry ice and leave on people's doorsteps. "We're going to film with [French culinary legend] Joël Robuchon and then put out some frozen dinners?" asks Wong, who has just finished her fifth season as a culinary producer on the show. Her honesty about Bravo's branding deal may have something to do with the fact that neither she nor the five other Top Chef contestants whose recipes and faces are being used by Schwan's are getting paid for them.

Her tell-all memoir, Official Book Club Selection - brazenly named, Griffin says, in hopes that Oprah will pick it for her book club or at the very least invite Griffin onto the show - catalogs the outrageous redhead's decades-long struggle to make it in Hollywood, her slow climb to the middle and all the claw marks she left along the way. Griffin talks to TIME about...
