This book will cause rumbles in the world of entertainment. From the headliners of classic television (Lucille Ball, Ed Sullivan, and Bob Hope) to film icons (Cary Grant, Joan Crawford, and John Wayne) to celebrities of today (Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith)-no star is immune to Hadleigh's biting humor and irascible wit.

Entertaining sidebars on such topics as infamous last words and chauvinistic comments about its subjects, it makes saturnine reading. Arranged thematically under such groupings as personal claims, costars and cohorts, and Hollywood myths, Celebrity Lies contains some of the most creative, misguided, and downright dishonest statements made by legendary figures of the past and present.
