Everyone loves popular biography, especially when served up in concentrated, fact-filled listings, each one enhanced by an eye-catching photograph. How They Met tells the entertaining and often enlightening stories of all those twosomes for whom the total was much more than the sum of their parts. It's an irresistibly insightful celebration of the icons of entertainment, business, and more--from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to Ben and Jerry.
Joey Green--author of "Polish Your Furniture with Panty Hose," "Paint Your House with Powdered Milk," "Wash Your Hair with Whipped Cream," and "Clean Your Clothes with Cheez Whiz"--got Jay Leno to shave with peanut butter on "The Tonight Show," Rosie O'Donnell to mousse her hair with Jell-O on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," and Katie Couric to drop her diamond engagement ring in a glass of Efferdent on "Today." He has been seen polishing furniture with SPAM on "NBC Dateline," cleaning a toilet with Coca-Cola in "The New York Times," and washing his hair with Reddi-wip in "People."
A former contributing editor to "National Lampoon" and a former advertising copywriter at J. Walter Thompson, Green is the author of more than forty books, including "Sarah Palin's Secret Diary," "Marx & Lennon: The Parallel Sayings," and "The Zen of Oz: Ten Spiritual Lessons from Over the Rainbow." A native of Miami, Florida, and a graduate of Cornell University, he wrote television commercials for Burger King and Walt Disney World and won a Clio Award for a print ad he created for Eastman Kodak. He backpacked around the world for two years on his honeymoon and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Debbie, and their two daughters, Ashley and Julia.
