Red Carpet Suicide


well my darling Perez Hilton, otherwise known as the gossip gangster, has recently published his (first of hopefully many) books, appropriately titled "Red Carpet Suicide".

it's basically his daily blog reformatted to fit into a 250 page book, where he dishes more dirt, and comments on the awesome world of "the famous".

being somewhat biased to him already; i read his column as often as amy winehouse smokes crack, i knew his book would be above amazing!! and as i dove head first into it the second amazon.co.uk delivered it to my door, i realized my aforementioned predictions were true!

i've always been impressed by this man's wit and poignant point of view, and this book does not disappoint.

but the main reason to pick up his book is because he offers up an explanation to the worlds fascination with celebrities. focusing mainly on the reasons behind why certain starlets become famous for absolutely no reason, he attempts to shed some light on just why we have allowed celebrities to rule the world, with us hanging off of their every move.

i think my favourite part thus far is his forward that was written by andy warhol (from heaven) that focuses on his infamous quote that "in the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes". and if take a gander at the tabloids these days, you'll see andy's prediction brought to life, right before your eyes...

check it out!
