About this product
Product Information
They say everyone today wants to be a celebrity. Certainly, we're all happy to watch them. From reality television and talent shows to tabloid splashes and gossip magazines, the road to modern fame is littered with the hopeful, the misguided, and, occasionally, the downright cynical. It's often a tale of rags to riches and then back to rags again. So why can't we stop looking? And who exactly buys the T-shirt, wears the perfume, visits the salon? In this witty and insightful tour of the underbelly of the celebrity world, LBC's Steve Allen takes us by the hand and leads us through the highs and lows of life as a modern-day 'sleb' - why they're there, and what we've all done to deserve this. Required reading for watchers and wannabes alike, this is your essential guide to one of the most bonkers aspects of modern Britain.Product Identifiers

What You Might Expect
This book is a slim volume, unlike Allen himself, which could easily be a transcript of any radio programme that Steve Allen has produced in the last decade. It contains all the usual tired jibes against modern celebrities and although there is truth in much of what he says, there is an undercurrent of bitterness that, despite all his years doing mainly tabloid-style radio, he has never progressed beyond the status of long-serving member of what was, until recently, a local radio station. Slightly entertaining in parts, it really is the sort of book that you would only ever read once, mainly out of curiosity.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
