As a member of Big in Japan, The Slits and, most famously, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Creatures, 'Budgie' became one of the era-defining drummers in the much-mythologised post punk scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. A man and musician whose creativity and singular style came to define the goth-pop 1980s as much as any other individual, Budgie's life is both fabulously glamorous and a tawdry cautionary tale. For the first time the story of this most exalted and mysterious of bands has been told by one who survived inside the belly of the beast.

At twenty-five years old, Parvati Shallow was plunged into fame and fortune after becoming the million-dollar winner of the reality television series Survivor. But despite her success, the ghosts of her traumatic past, coupled with the harsh glare of the public eye, kept her locked in a survival cycle of fear and shame that sabotaged her self-confidence and eroded her self-trust.

This book is not about celebrity gossip; it's about my personal experiences meeting and working with many celebrities. This book can be considered a memoir of my life, as it contains personal information about my travels, work, and experiences as a musician, soundman, and in life. I have always had a knack for storytelling, so I hope you enjoy the many stories of my celebrity encounters.

Although he died at a heartbreakingly young age and appeared in only a handful of movies, James Dean revolutionized American manhood. As a celebrity and icon, he melded vulnerability with determination, sensitivity with strength, in a way that offered a bracing and—for some—threatening new vision of masculinity. His massive influence and the fascination he has always inspired are inseparable from his identity as a queer man whose complex sexuality shattered the norms of midcentury American society.

Tyra Banks’s America’s Next Top Model was a cultural phenomenon with more than six million weekly viewers at its peak. Over its fifteen-year run, the show captured the glitz of the early aughts as well as its most toxic attitudes—from the glamorous but often questionable photo shoots to the cutting feedback from its highly respected if out-of-touch judges. Watching ANTM now, it feels impossible to imagine a show like this airing today, and as its fans have grown up, they’ve also begun to reckon with the enduring ways that the show has affected their body image and self-esteem.

Now in its 7th reprint, Sue Kim’s story is one of tragedy, imagination, luck, perseverance and the hand of God as she went from a life of wealth and privilege to displaced refugee, immigrant then super stardom as the first wave of Koreans in American. Along the way, Sue broke racial barriers on every major stage in America, from New York to Los Angeles, pitched the first baseball at a MLB opener, was feted by Elvis, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, but ultimately met and married a New Yorker, who became the longest running casino boss in America. Together, they reigned over Las Vegas at the...

Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell in Love with 80s Synths is the overlooked story of how R&B, disco, and funk were transformed by the explosion of music tech in the era of ghetto blasters and Ronald Reagan. It traces how pioneers like Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock inspired a new generation of black musicians and producers to reinvent music with a whole new set of rules.

Anthony Bourdain lived loud, fast, and brilliantly—until, abruptly, he didn’t. Burnt Ends: Anthony Bourdain and the Beautiful Despair of Living Loudly is a searing biography that dismantles the public image and reconstructs the private chaos of the world’s most unlikely philosopher-chef. This is not a sanitized celebration nor a voyeuristic exposé. It’s a meticulous, emotionally rigorous autopsy of a life devoted to the restless pursuit of sensation, meaning, and escape. From the privilege of his New Jersey childhood to the junk-sick nights behind kitchen doors, from the explosive ...

The Unfinished Life of Jeff Buckley is a radically intimate biography of the beloved and often-mythologized musician whose death at age 30 left a masterpiece behind—and a life unresolved. Rather than smoothing over contradictions or polishing a posthumous legend, this biography approaches Buckley not as a symbol but as a person: ferociously gifted, emotionally volatile, and haunted by both lineage and expectation. Drawing from interviews, recordings, private notebooks, and the testimonies of those closest to him, the book reconstructs Buckley’s interior world while tracing his artistic ...

Train Like Jason Statham is a detailed, unsentimental examination of how one man has maintained elite physical readiness, mental sharpness, and unrelenting discipline across decades in the public eye. Based entirely on publicly available information, deep analysis of his routines, interviews, and film preparation methods, this book breaks down what’s replicable—and what most people will never touch. Part biography, part training manual, part philosophical deconstruction, this book traces the arc of Statham’s rise—from street-level hustler and national diver to action cinema’s most...

The Raincoats were formed in London in 1977 as an experimental punk band synonymous with their indie label, Rough Trade. They went on to create what Vivien Goldman called “a new legacy of punk” and arguably became the most pioneering female band of the post-punk era while inspiring a new wave of DIY and queercore artists.

As one of Marriott’s first franchisees, Bruce White built a highly successful and widely respected hospitality company.

The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions.

To understand Taylor Swift is to understand the modern entertainment industry itself. She is not just a singer-songwriter. She is a brand, a businesswoman, a strategist, and a mirror reflecting the cultural, emotional, and political zeitgeist of each era she occupies. Her presence transcends music charts and tour stages. It inhabits the corridors of corporate boardrooms, the timelines of millions of social media accounts, and the private emotional landscapes of listeners worldwide.

Originally published in 1988, and charting the first decade of Prince's meteoric rise, Prince: Imp of the Perverse, was the earliest book to explore Prince's prodigious and eccentric talent. Prince Rogers Nelson stood alone as a musical maestro amongst his peers, and proved you could do it all yourself: write, play, perform, produce and take control of your career. He took American pop by the scruff of the neck and shaped it to his own mercurial ends.

In a culture drowning in noise, Keanu Reeves remains an anomaly—a figure who speaks less and says more, who walks through the chaos of Hollywood with the quiet of a monk and the presence of a ghost. Neo and Nothingness: The Existential Life of Keanu Reeves is a scalpel-sharp, darkly funny, and deeply researched look at the man who has, without effort or agenda, become a reluctant icon. This is not the usual breathless celebrity worship or nostalgia-laced filmography. Instead, it’s a full-body philosophical dive into what happens when an actor refuses to brand himself, monetize his grief...
