She will describe her work on creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and her opposition to powerful interests in Washington and on Wall Street.

HollywoodNews.com: From The Hollywood Reporter: Henry Holt announced Monday it has acquired the rights to Bravo Executive Vice President and late night host Andy Cohen‘s untitled memoir.
The book will use Cohen’s life-long love of pop culture and entertainment as a focus to tell the story of his journey from a closeted gay teen growing up in 1970s suburban St. Louis to a multi-hyphenate cable television powerhouse. Publication is scheduled for summer 2012.
In a statement announcing the deal, Holt’s president and publisher Stephen Rubin said: “Anyone who sees what Andy Cohen has achieved at Bravo knows the guy is a marketing genius. What nobody knows as of yet, is that Andy is also a very seductive and compelling writer with a story to tell that will charm, shock and engage readers with its candor, honesty, and wit. Andy is as irresistible on the page as he is on screen.
