Fame is a potent commodity-and a fickle one. Images of stars flood our newspapers, magazines and televisions, with increasing coverage given to those who achieve fleeting notoriety through bizarre and extraordinary means. Wilson and Evans open the door on the industry and investigate the talent, media hype and ambition of celebrities today. Uncovering the inner world of famous people from the arenas of TV, film, sport and music, this book exposes the downside of fame and offers advice on how to cope with being famous-or being a star-struck fan.
