5.0 out of 5 stars Great summertime read, April 25, 2000
This review is from: Hollywood Confidential: An Inside Look Public Careers Private Lives Hollywood's Rich Famous (Paperback)
This book was a lot of fun. I'm sorry, but I disagree with the other reviewer when they state that this book was misrepresented. It's clear from both the title and cover of this book that it's meant for those that love gossip, and that's just what it delivers. It may be true that, at times, this book strays where some people don't want to go, but, for the most part, it's a fun and light read. I'm giving it five stars because it succeeds in being what it purports to be, a gossip book. I was on vacation when I read it and found it to be the perfect read when sitting by the pool and drinking margaritas. I mean, let's be honest, doesn't everyone have some morbid curiosity about Hollywood and the celebrities that it covets?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Look at Celebrities, April 8, 1999
This review is from: Hollywood Confidential: An Inside Look Public Careers Private Lives Hollywood's Rich Famous (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It had a fun take on celebrity. Let's face it we always knew celebrities were a little wacky to begin with and this proves it in a fun way. The book is loaded with a lot of great lists like a list of actors with the biggest private parts. You'll never guess who made it on that list! A list ot weird names stars give there children. It made me feel kind of sorry for Bruce and Demi's children. A list of who's been in rehab. It's filled with a lot of interesting lists. The one thing I did not like about this book was that the author seemed to have it in for Melanie Griffith. I do not know if the author is male or feamale. But it seemed very obvious to me that he/she was jealous of Melanie for being married to Antonio Banderas. I feel that the author's treatment of Ms. Griffith was uncalled for. But other than that it was a very enjoyable read. I would most definetly reccommend it to those who are curious about celebrites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book That Lacked Follow-Up on Stories, January 3, 2005
This review is from: Hollywood Confidential: An Inside Look Public Careers Private Lives Hollywood's Rich Famous (Paperback)
I found this book to be an insightful read. I always knew that actors led dysfunctional lives, but this is too much. This is the vermin that society looks up to? That says a lot about where we are as a society. Reading the books certainly makes me dislike some of these characters in Hollywood. Now that the election has passed I dislike these actors even more because who are they to be influencing people's vote? And Arnold is Governor, what a joke!

I wish the book would have had better follow ups on lawsuits and other complaints on these so-called stars. I can only imagine what really happens in Hollywood that Ms. Amede does not know about. She hasn't gone to same sex celebrity orgies and other disgusting activities that only happen in Hollywood.

As they say, beauty is only skin deep and all that glitters is not gold. I can see Hollywood is called Tinseltown. Just look up your dictionary if you do not know what the word tinsel means.
