Sex, drugs, politics: for Hollywood stars in the 1950s, even the hint of scandal could destroy a career. We might think those days are over, but for gay actors, the 1950s have never gone away. If you're on the A list, you're in the closet: constantly at the mercy of the press, constantly in fear of being outed, and always ripe for blackmail. Matt Walsh is at the very top of the Hollywood ladder. He easily commands USD 20 million per film, and every one is a box office smash. But Walsh has a secret: Jamie West, his lover, a rent-boy with the fragility of Monroe and the body of Brad Pitt. When British hack Simon Fowler is sent out to write a grovelling vanity piece on Walsh, he unearths the star's secret life, and a story that could destroy him. Walsh has a long way to fall, and he could take a lot of people with him. With a cast of stars, starlets, pimps, drug dealers and scarier-than- hell PR bitches, STAR PEOPLE hops over the velvet rope and exposes the movie world as the shallow, cruel business we all know it is. The result is a smart, fast-paced, wildly entertaining satire and murder mystery.
