The hilarious and scandalous book that skewered Hollywood. "And here, for celluloid junkies everywhere, are such fascinating tidbits as Kim Bassinger's relationship to jalapeno peppers; why Bob Dylan lost out on a chance to appear in Goodfellas; how Sean Young developed her mathematical skills; the influence of Albert Camus, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Pia Zadora on Woody Allen; and the nature of Oliver Stone's obsession with testicles, drugs, mutilation, and the meaning of life."

But when a new administration comes to town (led by President Roger Kimball, Allison's godfather), Des slowly becomes enamored of Sadie… Read More
