  • Mindy and B.J. discuss everything you can possibly imagine but most importantly Mindy’s upcoming book, WHY NOT ME? Find more about Mindy and WHY NOT ME? at: bit.ly/1I2nJHT
    About WHY NOT ME?
    In Why Not Me?, Kaling shares her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life, whether it’s falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, or most important, believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re constantly reminded that no one looks like you.
    Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.

They just look at each other so adoringly....But, she says they're like "Soup Snakes"...I just got done reading this book. It was a cute read. I laughed more in the first book, but I think this one was more honest. A must-read for all Mindy Fans!

KS has been seen out with him dinner a few times doesn’t equal dating and that was months ago. She does the same with tons of other people, also pretty sure she is dating Christian Coppola

But for two people to be in their late 30s and still not find a way to be together...you know what, that´s not necessarily good. And she writes SO much about how much she loves him and he didn´t reciprocate in his book! #Boo I think he´s gonna get married and have kids with someone else and, finally realizing the truth, she´ll either quickly follow suit or go on to become the second coming of Shonda. I do hope she finds love though. We are all more productive when we love :(
