Celebrity Elect is a racy, fantastical exploration of what would happen if instead of dancing for America, America’s favorite stars would take their advocacy from sound bytes to their announcements, campaigns and in some instances, actually becoming the President of the United States. Charles Barkley, Clint Eastwood, Spike Lee, Whoopi Goldberg, Wil Smith, Alex Baldwin, Oprah, Jack Nicholson, and Tavis Smiley are among those who are satirized.

Excerpt
Excerpt:
"Disgraced President OJ Simpson addressed the nation from a Clark County jail, Friday night, on the heels of his conviction and fall from grace. “You won’t have the Juice to kick around anymore. But as my last request as President of the United States, I urge Congress to act boldly and pass an immediate bipartisan bailout of my ass —or minimally tell Al Cowlings to bring my Bronco around back. I would like to apologize to the black community for not returning their calls since 1995….but with me teetering on the brink of a depression, it’s important that I, the last remaining President of a superpower, not go out like this. Congress’s failure to act swiftly will result in my long painful residence with a 6’9” semi-transvestite that ran out of money to finish he-she’s operation.”
Professional Reviews
Celebrity Elect Praise
“Sabrina Lamb's writing takes political satire to another level. Her words give much comic relief which is very needed in the precarious times we are living in.” — Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam
Celebrity Elect Praise
“Sabrina has the gift to poke fun at those she likes AND dislikes, a trait that is sorely lacking in humorous writing these days. She does it as well as anyone, and it is reason enough to read this talented writer's work.”— Sam Greenfield, WVNJ Radio, Comedian.
Celebrity Elect Praise
Celebrity Elect is one book that has to be read by all. It is funny and has many interesting stories on how celebrities are not always as smart as they pretend to be. Read this book.”— Shelley Wynter, Host of The Right Side, ustalknetwork.com
