Book Description

Publication Date: May 14, 2007

The Kindle Bestselling book featured on TV's "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD" *UPDATED FOR 2011 WITH 3 NEW BONUS STORIES!* DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS... Every movie and TV star has one. So does every agent and manager. Some producers and studio execs have two or even three. I'm talking about an assistant. Someone to answer your phones, pick up your dry cleaning. Someone to hide your drugs. Your assistant knows what you eat, who you're sleeping with and what medications you're taking. They listen in on your phone calls. They are the eyes and ears of Hollywood... and occasionally they talk. Culled from dozens of interviews with former and current Hollywood assistants, Where's My F*cking Latte is a no-holds barred insider's look at what really goes on behind Tinseltown's closed doors. PRAISE FOR "WHERE'S MY F*CKING LATTE?" "I can tell you firsthand that what goes on behind-the-scenes of Hollywood's glittering facade is usually shocking, insane and full of sex offers. Where's My F*cking Latte perfectly captures the abusive and often hysterically unbelievable world of celebs and Tinseltown power-brokers and the culture of excess and entitlement they live in. Two thumbs WAY, WAY UP!" - Daniella Cracknell, Publicist to many of TV’s iconic stars from Dick Clark, Howie Mandel, Geraldo Rivera, Mario Lopez to name a few…

This book is a hilarious (and terrifying) read for anyone who works in-- or wants to work in-- the entertainment industry. If there is a hell... these assistants have worked in it, and these stories will make your skin crawl!

Nemcoff's "Where's My F*cking Latte" is a hilarious spin on the sensibility of young talent trying to make it in Hollywood. His wry, insider's view delivers observations laced with the same warmth I enjoyed in his other work (The Art of Surfacing, a different but equally rewarding read). I spent a hilarious Saturday afternoon at the nearest Starbuck's, passing around his book to patrons who wanted to know what I was reading when they heard me laughing out loud! I am giving copies of "Latte" to all of the smart young creative types on my holiday list!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Very Entertaining, November 8, 2007

This review is from: Where's My F*cking Latte?: (and Other Stories About Being an Assistant in Hollywood) (Paperback)

We've all heard the horror stories about the way celebrities treat their assistants and other people. Personally, I'm not one of those people who cares too much about gossip but Where's My F*cking Latte pulls back the curtain on Tinseltown in a way that I really enjoyed. The stories are sometimes shocking and will make you laugh out loud at the childish behavior that these Hollywood pros exhibit. It's a great inside view of an industry we all like to make fun of and I had the best time plowing through this book over the weekend. Two thumbs up!
