THE STORY BEHIND ROBIN QUIVERS’ BOOK LAUNCH POSTPONEMENT (EXCLUSIVE)
UPDATE (8/26/13): The publication date for “Vegucation of Robin” has been moved forward one week to October 1, 2013.
UPDATE (9/9/13): In an emotional 85 minute conversation today on the “Howard Stern Show,” Robin Quivers revealed she battled uterine cancer for 18 months and now claims to be “completely cured.” The article below, originally published March 28, 2013, contains insider information a lot of which was confirmed during toaay’s radio show conversation.
The very independent and wonderful Robin Quivers of the “Howard Stern Show” continues to need your extra good energy and best wishes.
Her new cook-slash-lifestyle book, “The Vegucation of Robin,” was scheduled to launch Tuesday (March 26) after being postponed from an original planned publication timing of Fall 2012 (holiday gift season). But just ten days ago – after review copies were mailed to media outlets, including TheBPlot – the publisher notified booksellers the tome’s launch was again being postponed, this time to October 8, 2013.
A source at Avery a division of Penguin Group publishing told TheBPlot, “At the very last minute we were notified by her representative that she would not be able to commit to the promotion schedule” which included a full media tour with stops at “Today” and the hot, hot “Katie,” Katie Couric’s daytime success as well as a handful of major market book signings. [more below]
“We have to wait until she is well enough to fully promote the book,” the publishing source continued. “(The book) was as close to release as it can get. Pre-sale numbers were strong. The book will not be edited or changed and the price will be the same. The boxes are sitting in a warehouse waiting to be sold.”
Quivers treatment and recovery for what she said on-air was a “grapefruit-size mass” next to her bladder has been extended.
On Page 11 of “Vegucation of Robin” she briefly references her 8-hour surgery and credits her speedy surgical recovery to her nutrition regime. The detailed reveal and discussion of Quivers’ health scare is part of the book’s launch strategy.
A show source said, “We were told a while ago that she will only talk about (her health issues) when the book launches. We have built a show on being real and she is not talking about the biggest thing in her life right now which is frustrating. I am not saying it’s not understandable but it is frustrating.”
TheBPlot exclusively reported in May of 2012, Quivers was preparing for live cooking demos on “Today” as well as other shows. At the time, a long-time source called Quivers – one of my favorite people when I worked at the show – a “publisher’s dream” as it relates to tireless book promotion.
I was working at KROCK when Quivers’ first book “Quivers a Life” launched and saw her work so hard with a smile to move books. Her launch party for “Quivers” was on the set of a FOX News show in midtown and included Joan Rivers, Gilbert Gottfried and many others as guests. At some points, I was two feet away from her as she masterfully worked the press line.
Since last summer, Quivers has been co-hosting the morning radio show via ISDN line from her luxe but not obnoxious Upper West Side two-bedroom, high-floor condo overlooking the Hudson River.
No matter when the book – with a beautiful and compelling foreword from Russell Simmons – is ultimately published, I know you will find it both interesting and inspiring. As well, some of the 90 recipes are so good a non-vegan will crave ’em.
Quivers’ representatives did not return a call or email for comment.

Robin’s “nutrition regime” is a farce. Her health was better when she was eating junk food. She never had major surgery or missed work for months until she’d been on the diet promoted in her book for 5 years. No one should follow her advice or buy her book unless they have a death wish.

Nothing but a scam. Common practice on the new Howard Stern show. It’s all about the marbles. Robin’s still recovering from her gastric bypass and probably busted a staple because she can’t stop eating. She’s a fat, loud mouth who will never make it on her won.

Robin is not sick. Back in 2010 she and Brendan Murphy had the 15 foundation. A “charity”. The 15 foundation was caught giving “micro loans”. Brendan did a plea bargain with the IRS. Robin addressed it on the show as a “betrayal”.
After months of investigation IRS and Robin did a deal. Robin had to pay a huge fine. (she panic sold her house in june 2012 with over 2 million loss). Robin is now in house arrest. She had a early release hearing in February, but she failed the psychiatric evaluation. (Especially her irrational hate for Dr Drew) = why the book is postponed.
Dont forget that Howard and Robin lies about EVERYTHING.
She said she had a 12 hour surgery. Now she says it was 8.
She can go to movies, diners, vote but not take her fat ass into work.
Robin is a nobody. Thats why not a single paparazzi picture have been taken in a year from her arrest.

Everything about Robin and the Stern Show is a complete fraud. She started her “real food” diet in 2007, so it’s likely she developed the tumor AFTER she started “eating healthy”. Her diet may not have caused her health problems but it certainly didn’t “save her life”.

Does anyone still listen to that haarable show? The one time hilarious 5hr+ show has “evolved” into a politically correct, sanitized, progay rights, anti religious, part-time show with little to no comedy bits/laughs anymore.
Even the interviews are mostly of D list celebrities and often result in Howard trying to play amateur psychologist while cutting off his guests to enquire about their net worths and size of genitalia.
The show is really just a shell of itself and should just end. His long time listeners that I know really have no desire or interest to hear about his “kiddie show” AGT.

So she had surgery in May 2012, she’s not expected to be healthy enough to promote her book until Oct 2013, and she’s using her “speedy recovery” to promote her “nutrition regime”? That doesn’t speak well for her diet, I know people who eat junk food and recovered from major surgery much faster than that.
