Quatrième de couverture :
'This hilarious romp through modern culture by the Guardian columnist highlights the bizarre reach of hollow fame these days... Shudder-inducingly funny' Big Issue
'So funny, and so sharp' New Statesman
Do you ever wonder why celebrities work for the United Nations? Why entertainers are on television advocating dubious 'religions'? Or why Angelina Jolie advises on the Iraqi reconstruction effort and Jude Law is trying to establish contact with the Taliban?
Then this is the book for you - it is a hilarious, appalling portrait of a world obsessed to the point of lunacy with celebrity, a guide to our times and a classic piece of comic writing. And it might, just might, explain why celebrities think they're qualified to solve problems like Africa, the Middle East and AIDS.
'An excoriating, needle-sharp and superbly funny attack on 'stars' who abuse their fame'' Metro
'Entertaining, and occasionally alarming, little tome about the peculiar evolutionary blip which has meant that people whose sole purpose in life was once to provide us with pictures to cut out of magazines and take with us into the hairdresser, now feel compelled to work for the United Nations, conduct assignations to Iraq and bounce maniacally on Oprah's sofa' Sunday Business Post

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A brilliant, hilarious thinking person's guide to a world obsessed to the point of lunacy by celebrity- a guide to our times and a classic piece of comic writing.These days, entertainers no longer just entertain- they advocate dubious 'religions', work for the United Nations, get face-time with heads of state and monopolise problems they are infinitely qualified to solve - problems like Africa, the Middle East, and AIDS.We stand at the beginning of a bright new chapter in human history. Feast your eyes, then, on Sharon Stone's peace mission to Israel, on a world where Angelina Jolie advises on the Iraqi reconstruction effort or Charlie Sheen analyses 9/11, and in which Jude Law's attempts to establish contact with the Taliban are reported without irony.Celebrity is a roadmap, a survivalist's guide, a Rosetta Stone for our times- without a copy you are not equipped to engage with the world. These days, entertainers no longer just entertain: they advocate dubious 'religions', work for the United Nations, get face-time with heads of state and monopolise problems they are infinitely qualified to solve - problems like Africa, the Middle East, and AIDS. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780099532057
