Inspired by true events, this shockingly accurate novel about the ins and outs of the Hollywood game will leave the reader wondering - who is Star?" (amazon.com)

Gee, uh...Katie Holmes? Though the author doesn't say the story is intentionally based on Holmes, she does admit the characters and situations are based on real people. Holmes herself is reportedly disturbed by the story. "Someone gave her a copy last weekend, and she's been reading it nonstop ever since," said a friend of Mrs. Cruise. "She's already having problems with Tom, and now she feels like her private life has been exposed. She's really upset." Whatever the deal is, what a fantastic marketing plot for the author. Oprah's book club? Who needs it.
