Judd Apatow meets Scott Turow in a rollicking debut thriller featuring one-of-a-kind New York attorney Tug Wyler.  While prosecutors and criminal attorneys abound in the mystery world, rarely have readers been thrust headlong into the high-stakes arena of personal injury law.  In SUZY’S CASE (Scribner; July 10, 2012; $26.00 hardcover), Andy Siegel injects antic wit and unexpected tenderness into an utterly compelling medical malpractice case in which a little girl clings to life.

Tug, a dogged and ingenious seeker of justice, is very much a law unto himself. He’s a street-smart idealist and born cut-up who thinks on his feet in always unpredictable ways, with high-wire risk-taking a major part of his legal life. When he begins to look into the case of the severely brain-damaged Suzy Williams, Tug’s heart instantly goes out to this gallant child and her devoted mother June.  The trouble is, his passionate commitment to Suzy’s cause soon attracts attention that’s unexpected, unwanted and highly unfriendly. Suddenly, Tug finds himself pitched headlong into is a surreal sideshow of danger and violence which doesn’t let up until the story’s harrowing yet righteous conclusion.

“At the center of Suzy’s Case lays the rush to cover up genuine wrongs,” says author Andy Siegel. “What keeps Tug digging deeper and deeper into the circumstances here is his compulsion, like mine, to make the system work for the injured victim, an outcome the big insurance companies vigorously resist.”

Lea Michele definitely had a Glee-ful weekend. After filming by herself on Saturday, the small-screen starlet was joined by not one, but TWO gorgeous guys on Sunday! Yesterday afternoon, Lea shot a few scenes with her new (and super cute) costar Dean Geyer. After the pair finished their takes, Lea headed back to the Battery Park set to film with real-life love Cory Monteith that night.

I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the days until Glee premieres. With so many changes in store for my favorite McKinley High grads, I can’t imagine what’s going to happen in season four!

It looks like Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves had some fun in the sun this weekend! On Aug. 10, the newlyweds soaked up the rays in Ibiza, Spain with Bono and his wife Alison Hewson. The couples, along with their families, boarded the Cirque Du Soleil yacht and headed out to sea for the afternoon.

Matthew and Camila are definitely having the best summer ever! Apart from tying the knot in a low-key ceremony, the two are also expecting their third child. And by the looks of these pics, it seems like they’re still celebrating!

OoOoO la la, check out this fab fashionista! On Aug. 12, Dancing with the Stars cohost Brooke Burke-Charvet rocked the red carpet at the 3rd Annual My Brother Charlie Family Fun Festival in Culver City. Joined by her hot hubby David and their adorable brood, all eyes were on Brooke and her summer-inspired ensemble.

Sporting a strapless stripe-y mini with a cute belt to boot, Brooke added some solid colors to her look, thanks in part to her orange tote and matching peep-toe pumps. I think that Brooke looks gorgeous (as usual), but the question is, are you a fan of her outfit?

While mom Jennifer Garner stayed home with baby Samuel, doting dad Ben Affleck spent some quality time with his two adorable daughters. On Sunday afternoon, the trio stopped by the farmer’s market in Brentwood. After browsing around for a bit, Ben and his little girls picked out a few things to bring home.

Even though Ben and Jen have both been busy this summer, no matter how jam-packed their schedules are, family ALWAYS comes first. And by the looks of these pics, Violet and Seraphina definitely enjoyed hanging out with their dad for the day!
