Summary: HOLLYWIERD NEEDS INTERVENTION, NOW!
Comment: This book is a scary, but amazing look at the powers that be in hollywood. They feel that rest of us in "flyover country" don't count, but it looks like these authors realize that Americans are able to make up our minds without relying on these egomaniacal, pill-popping nutcases to tell us how to think! Breibart and Ebner bring to light the worms that are crawling under many a rock in Tinseltown...just in time for the Oscar's!
I read it in one laugh-out loud sitting, and will recommend it to all of my friends.
I can't wait for a sequel!

Summary: Beyond the Puff
Comment: The usual suspects celebs covered in this book were pretty much boiler plate bios penned with a keen wit and searing attitude. What I particularly enjoyed were the crafty, intensely researched chapters on Hollywood sex freaks online, B-actors on the skids, a tragically weird high school for celebrity kids and what the authors surmise as the "pornification" of Hollywood. Also,Mark Ebner was funny on the Daily Show! The reviewer who tried to make hay out of his back and forth with Jon Stewart failed to see the comedy in it. What strikes me about these authors is their humor in the face of the horrifying insanity of their subject matter. This book should be required reading in high school. Especially Cross Roads!
Rating: 4
Summary: Great, gossipy read, a bit heavy-handed, but worth buying
Comment: I almost didn't buy this book, based upon the Publisher's Weekly review, but I'm glad I did. If you're the type who loves reading juicy insider tidbits about celebrities, you will enjoy this book immensely. There were some heavy-handed comments made by the authors (glass houses, guys!) but I think most readers are smart enough to see past their editorializing and indulge in the no holds barred glimpse into what our favorite "stars" are really like: egomaniacal screw-ups who do what they please and don't care about the consequences, as long as they're popular.
