The life of actor, choreographer, and musician Columbus Short has been punctuated with trauma that extends well beyond the plot lines of his previous role on the hit series Scandal. Short has lived many lives packed into one - from a family filled with turmoil to tumultuous love affairs and enough scandals of his own. But somewhere in the middle, Short’s realization that there has to be a better way comes into full view.
Short Stories not only details Columbus Short’s journey from childhood to Hollywood, it shows how even the most checkered of pasts can create a different person with the right amount of will and drive, especially when it comes to fulfilling your true destiny.

Did you ever hear the rumor of how Columbus slept with Brittney Spears while he was her choreographer? Well, in this book he addresses it! Heard about stories of him getting into bar fights? He writes about that too. Wondering if he acknowledge the accusations of physically abusing his wife? Absolutely he does! Did he dish the tea on being fired from Scandal? Yup! Does he talk about his drug and alcohol use? No doubt! Trust me he tells it all.
⠀
This book felt like a purge. Like he somehow released all his baggage & set himself free.
⠀
One thing I really appreciate about the book is how transparent Columbus is as he shares his journey with alcoholism. It was a rough journey. He admits alcohol isn’t his friend. But he has come out on top, and has been sober for one year.
⠀
What he talks about most in the book is his volatile relationship with his ex-wife. The book actually begins with an explosive story about his former best friend, along with, his ex-wife whom he refers to as “that woman”.
⠀
Overall, I found this book very juicy. It’s filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. There is never a dull moment. A page turner for sure.

I have to say for me the book is full of all kinds of revelations. Yes we are able to see his rise, but Short also allows us to see the events that impacted him as a young boy as well as the business side of the entertainment industry: the politics of it all and the challenges that exist. One surprise was the issue of racism and what he had to deal with on set, and the courage it took to speak up when others would have let things slide so as to not rock the boat.
Don't get me wrong though. Columbus Short does not portray himself as just a victim or an angel. He also doesn't shy away from the failings in relationships and the bad decisions that led to issues he would deal with for some time.
In 'short', he reveals what we all are: a work in progress. The book gives us a better snapshot at his highs and lows and the lessons learned in between. For anyone who is looking for proof that you can rise again after a setback then this book is one that is a must-read.
I love the pics in the book. They are in black and white but that is fine.
I wished however it would have read in order in which things happened, but it's titled short stories so that's basically the way that it is written. He wrote his life events in short stories . Each event or part of his life in a short story. I will admit it will bring you back and forth and it appear as if it is all over the place but stick with it, it's not that bad. No I am not being bias because I am a fan.
I learned that he was in movies that I had no clue and commercials as well. He spilled tea about some major actors in the biz and his interactions with them. I was shocked but then again not really it's HOLLYWOOD.
I recommend for those that are of course Columbus Short fans or if you wish to know his side of the story regarding the chaos that occurred in his life.
