Unveiling the Secrets of the Red Carpet

Glitzy, glamorous - perfectly coutured, dazzling from hair to toe, the A-list celebrities make their way up the red carpet.


As countless photographers shout instructions to the celebs, lights embellish the celebrities as they walk past background banners embodied with the logos of event sponsors.


Whether it's a movie opening or the biggest red carpet event of them all - the Academy Awards, the A-List celebrities of tinsel town parade before the cameras and the tv spot lights.


But behind this beautifully crafted fairy tale façade, is a deeper and sinister side.


The side of the red carpet that few outsiders ever know.


The side of the red carpet that only a daughter, born of a Oscar winning director and a cover model mother, could know.

For in this town, being on the A-list is not a guarantee of a daughter's success.


In fact, a famous daughter may just have to survive by selling her mother's last season's hand me downs Chanel on eBay just to pay the rent.


Try having every Hollywood connection in the world and still being a total failure.


This is the story of a daughter of Hollywood legends who yearn for success and love, but fail to find it, until.


Until, she teams up with a hot, yet unknown fashion designer who is trying to get his designs on the backs of the Academy Awards nominatives.


Find out what it takes to score an Academy Awards nominative to wear a unknown designer's outfit in this novel that leaves nothing to the imagination except who the real life inspirations for the characters were.








In their first book - CELEBUTANTES, two daughters of Hollywood icons Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper reveal the deep, dark secrets behind the Red Carpet fashions.


Amanda Goldberg, daughter of legendary film and television producer Leonard Goldberg, has been called "One to Watch" by Vogue and has landed on Harper's Bazaar's "Best Dressed" List. After working with acclaimed designer Todd Oldham, Goldberg joined her father's production company where she was the Associate Producer on the blockbuster film Charlie's Angels.


Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper is the daughter of Zabriskie Point's Daria Halprin and Easy Rider's Dennis Hopper. She started her career in production at Radical Media in New York City and went on to produce and co-star with her father in the critically acclaimed independent film Americano. Hopper was also a producer for the CineVegas Film Festival in Las Vegas.


Goldberg and Hopper are contributors to the California-based C Magazine.

Britney Spears to Pen a Tell All?

Britney Spears is hurt and angry- and now that she’s out of rehab, she’s planning a tell-all book about all the people “who did me wrong,” according to Star Magazine.

Sources claim that Brit is determined to dish every last bit of dirt about her once closest confidants and that they’re going to be shattered by her revelations!

Britney has plenty to say about ex-lover Justin Timberlake, 26.

“Brit blames most of her problems with drugs and alcohol on the heartache she experienced years before, during her time with Justin; she couldn’t trust him,” says a second insider.

“I hear she’s going to say that she believes he constantly lied to her about other girls and that destroyed her self-esteem. She also felt he became mean toward the end of their [nearly three-year] relationship; she said he called her fat and told her she’d need to lose weight before he would have sex with her.

“When Justin learns about this book, he’s going to be pissed.”

Her two husbands, in particular, Kevin Federline, and source says Brit will reveal the terrible truth that she planned to kill herself after it finally sank in that Kevin had used her for his own selfish ends, according to the insider.

“His womanizing, his wild spending, the verbal abuse he hurled at her when he thought their marriage was coming to an end…
Brit will say he deliberately tried to drive her crazy. She feels Kevin just pretended to love her for the money and a music career. When that sunk in, she was so heartbroken that she wanted to kill herself.”

The final bombshell, the insider says, will involve Britney’s mother, Lynne, 51. “Britney will call her a stage mom from hell’ and blame her for almost every ill in her life. She’ll say Lynne’s money hungry and that she was just along for the free ride. Britney thinks of her as a meddling, smothering person and blames her for her messy marriages.”

When Britney recently told Lynne and her father, Jamie, 54, about the book, they were both devastated. “Lynne was totally crushed,” says an insider, “and her dad warned her that if she bad-mouthed any of the family, she would regret it for the rest of her life. He knows from experience that sometimes Britney’s honesty isn’t always based in fact.”

Bill Clinton Exposed Again

A new book on the former president Clinton's post-presidential life is on the horizon.

"The Clinton Crack-Up", written by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., claims that Clinton had an affair (shock!) with New Yorker Denise Rich, whose ex-husband, Marc, he pardoned.

The book goes on to claim that Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, knew about the affair.

"Denise Rich's contact with Clinton began long before Hillary confided her allegations to then-Representative Nancy Pelosi that Bill 'f*cked' Denise," writes Tyrrell. The source for the remark is given as "a currently serving Capitol Hill police officer standing two feet away."

Rich's spokesman has of course, denied the allegations saying, "There is no truth to this story."

Funniest Celebrity Quote Ever - by David Cassidy

"I've always been very comfortable with my sexuality and my brothers call me Donk, as in Donkey.

People have talked about me being 'blessed' in my physique. The first time (I met Gina Lollobrigida) she looked me up and down and said, 'I hear you're a monster. I want to meet the monster.'

Well, I decided that if I had it, there wasn't any point in just keeping it in the holster all the time."

-David Cassidy in his new book Could It Be Forever

Spicy Book Review, 'Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love'

Dirty Blonde - by Courtney Love

First off, this book is so visually enchanting it invites you in whether or not you are a fan of Courtney Love's. It's more a scrapbook per se, than a novel. Full of photos, postcards, poems, concert flyers, drawings, ramblings, letters and documents throughout different stages of Courtney's life. From the time she was a girl until recent.

She says she omits about 4 years worth of stuff- during what she calls 'The Black Years'- as that was the time she was heavily into drugs. She adds, "It may be that for some people their drugs years purchased them greatness but mine brought me nothing but dull, aching pain, misery and wrecked lives- mostly my daughter's."

Sometimes Courtney is an angry child writing of her angst on notepaper with a crayon because no writing utensils were allowed at the Eugene, OR Juevenille Detention Center she was in. Other times she is a young woman exploring the punk scene, attending Black Flag concerts and hideously striping her hair. And some of the time she writes down her goals and inspirations in life.

You read the book and you see inside the little girl in the preschool class photo, who grew up drawing fashion models and dreamt of being on The Mickey Mouse Club..only to recieve a denial by postcard.

This book shows you a certain side of Courtney Love that you've never seen.
Instead of only viewing her as the crazy wasted ex of Kurt Cobain's, you start to understand the circumstances that molded the woman we know today.

She's tough, she's raw.
She has many regrets and many demons.
She has passion and she loves.
She is human.

Love her or hate her this book will give you a whole new insight to Courtney Love. The book is so interesting that no matter your preconceived ideas about her, you will love this book.



Spicy gives it a huge thumbs up

'House of Hilton'

From NYDailyNews.com-

A field guide to the Hiltons

Chronicling the history of the hideously hyped inn crowd

By JO PIAZZA

"Welcome to the "House of Hilton," Jerry Oppenheimer's thorough new tell-all that tries to explain the familial follies that unleashed the famous-for-nothing Paris Hilton on our world. "Every generation has an It girl and Paris became this generation's It girl," says Oppenheimer. "My goal in doing this book was to figure out how she became who she is." "I came away from this research with a lot of sympathy for Paris. I came away feeling a bit sympathetic for her because I don't think she had a chance to do anything besides what she is doing." What really knocked Oppenheimer's socks off, he says, was the discovery of Paris' maternal grandmother, Kathy Avanzino Richards, a woman from Manhasset everyone called Big Kathy, who truly was larger than life. "I don't think anyone has ever really talked about that before," Oppenheimer says. But the Hilton side of the family had its share of skeletons, from Paris' great-grandfather Conrad, who used to take his second wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, to houses of ill repute while he slept with other women to Paris' dad Rick, who was never really given a slice of the Hilton hotel fortune. "While in name she is a Hilton, she is not the heiress the world has been led to believe," Oppenheimer explains. "In fact she has to work her tush off to live the Hilton lifestyle. The bulk of the Hilton fortune is going into the Hilton Foundation. Paris is one of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who have to work for a living." Nicky Hilton * Two years younger than Paris, Nicky has somehow managed to avoid the level of scandal of her older sister. * Childhood friends were wary of Nicky because of her family. "Nicky wasn't included in a lot because she was rich, because she had the Hilton name — you know, she was the first kid to bring a cell phone to school, so all of that made it difficult, and Paris already had a reputation at the school," remembers Gini Tangalakis, the mother of one of Nicky's childhood friends. "It didn't appear to me that there was much parental involvement." Big Kathy * Paris Hilton's maternal grandmother, "Big Kathy" Avanzino Richards, was the real spark plug of the Hilton women. "One of the things with Big Kathy that shocked me was the violent nature this woman had. I would come away from the interviews with my jaw dropped. She was the original 'Bad Seed,' " Oppenheimer says. * Paris must have learned her manners from Big Kathy. A close childhood friend of Kathy's, Jane Hallaren, remembers Kathy pointing at another little girl's beautiful brown curls, and then, "I look and Kathy had spit all over this girl's hair. I could see gobs of spit. And Kathy was giggling. I still think of the scene and I get the willies," Hallaren told Oppenheimer. * Big Kathy's first daughter, Kathy (Paris' mother), was conceived in the back seat of a 1957 black Chevrolet convertible with boyfriend Larry Avanzino. The couple then had a shotgun wedding to please their families. It would be the first of four for her. * Big Kathy once bragged to a friend, "my daughters are married to men who have a total net worth of $13 billion." * She once put a screw in a cheeseburger meant for her stepdaughter Diane, Oppenheimer writes, because she thought Diane was undermining her marriage to her second husband, Ken Richards. Another time, she fed her mother-in-law dog food and then laughed about it. * Desperate to marry her daughter off to Rick Hilton, Big Kathy helped convince her future son-in-law that Kathy Jr. was a virgin before he married her. Kathy and Rick Hilton * Rick Hilton's claim to fame at the University of Denver was playing volleyball and hosting hotel parties. He was once the target of a staged kidnapping by fellow students. * As newlyweds, Kathy and Rick enjoyed pushing their weight around at various Hilton hotels across the country, especially Las Vegas, where Kathy (like her daughter) loved to party. They'd bring young daughter Paris out already painted up in mascara and eyeliner. * During one incident at a Hilton hotel, Rick and Kathy left their dogs alone in a suite for three days, without walking them. "There was dog shit and dog piss all over the place," a source told Oppenheimer. Paris Hilton * Paris was once attacked by her pet monkey, but the heiress has always had a thing for small animals. When she was 12, she carried her pet ferrets around in her Prada purse, causing headaches for Hilton hotel managers, who were terrified to reprimand her because they feared Kathy's wrath. * At Hilton hotels, Paris demanded the same VIP treatment that her parents received. One insider told Oppenheimer she "used the saunas in one hotel to go to the bathroom because they were too lazy to get out of the sauna to use the actual bathroom." * Though Kathy Hilton explained her daughter's disappearance from New York prep school Dwight Academy as the result of a stalker in the Waldorf-Astoria, which supposedly forced the girl to leave town, managers at the swank hotel where the clan lived remember that Paris disappeared because she ran off and had a fling with a cute trucker from the hotel's loading dock. * "I have family sources telling me that Rick and Kathy Hilton are proud of everything Paris has done, including the X-rated video that launched her to this international stardom and infamy and fame," Oppenheimer says."

Courtney Love's 'Dirty Blonde' A multi-textual memoir chronicling the life of one of our most potent pop icons Groundbreaking rock musician. Award-winning actress. Perceptive songwriter and author. Mother. Wife of a rock god. Fashionista and trendsetter. Provocateur. In each and every one of these roles Courtney Love has demonstrated a wholehearted commitment to her art, and an intense drive and a lust for life that have made her a star and a celebrity icon—but have also led her into some unwise, uncharted, and even dangerous territory.

By turns exhilarating and unsettling, this is a story told for the first time in Dirty Blonde. Composed of an astonishing and eclectic collection of deeply personal artifacts including personal letters, childhood records, poetry, diary entries, song lyrics, fanzines, show flyers, other original writings, and never-before-seen photographs, Dirty Blonde leads us through the unimaginable highs and the despairing lows of one of the most compelling and creative figures in the world of popular culture. Through these diaries we see Love’s accomplishments, her mistakes, her history, and her bright future in a whole new light. From her upbringing in Oregon through her years living in Japan, New Zealand, and London, from her career highs with Hole and as a Hollywood leading lady to her personal heartbreak and struggle, Dirty Blonde is Love laid bare—a wholly fascinating portrait of a fierce and insightful woman with an unblinking worldview and a determination to express herself no matter the cost.
