the illustrations are great but I don't understand a writer cred for rehashing old news. I do mean old. they couldn't leave out OJ

This is hysterically funny. I bought it when it came out (in 2006?) lost it in the move, and just found it again after SIX years. Thought it was stolen by one of my kids' friends. SO HAPPY to find it again yesterday, YAY!
Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, TomKat, Hugh and Devine, all lampooned exquisitely in this coffee table book for those with a taste for the comically vulgar.

I saw this book sitting atop Christine's coffee table, and I skimmed through it so quickly, laughing hysterically the whole way. I added Celebrity Meltdowns & its sequel to my Amazon Wish List because I fell in love with it instantly.

This is pretty darn good- Some are better than others but the Kate Moss cocaine one is pretty great - her eyes roll back in her head as she snorts- God bless her! I can recommend this.
