The Official Celebrity Handbook: The How-To Guide to Becoming, and Staying, Famous

The Apprentice, The Amazing Race, The Real World, Survivor, etc. Reality TV is just one glaring example of American youth’s fascination with fame and celebrity. Britney, Jessica and Ashley are three of a thousand others. Ask many kids between 12 and 25 what they want to be and they’ll tell you "famous." It’s an epidemic sweeping the nation, but as George Clooney says, "there’s no handbook for fame." Until now…. Written by two CBS News Directors well-versed in the realm of celebrity, The Official Celebrity Handbook gives readers practical advice on how to become famous, while imparting wry observations and little-known facts about the often mysterious realm of celebrity. With hundreds of websites to showcase the glamour world of celebrity the authors manage to reveal the perks and pitfalls of seeking fame and fortune-- no matter what the venue. As former CBS Sports President Neal Pilson, and the person who hired Howard Cossell, John Elway and John Madden, said, "It’s a miracle I survived so long without this invaluable guide to the world of stars and celebrities."
