The Stars in Our Eyes: The Famous, the Infamous, and Why We Care Way Too Much about Them by Julie Klam
4.0
A fun view of pop culture and celebrities--talented and non-talented. If you are an avid reader of People Weekly and/or Entertainment Weekly, you'll enjoy this light-hearted look at why we might have a obsession with our favorite stars. If you don't and aren't aware of who is who in the Kardashian family, it might not be that interesting.
Also, sprinkled throughout the book are "intermissions" with people describing their celebrity encounters which made me think of a few "non-encounters" I've experienced. One was when we were waiting in the foyer of a popular Palm Springs restaurant. After we were seated my spouse commented on how Justine Bateman was standing right next to us. Huh. I had no clue. Of course, then I had to crane my neck to see if she had been seated anywhere close to us. Then there was the time I almost mowed down Don King in a Vegas airport. Again, no clue.
My take-away is I have no desire to be famous.
