Celebrity Feuds: The Cattiest Rows, Spats and Tiffs Ever Recorded

Rating:
Summary: The Greatest Dish on Earth
Review: Even though I'm familiar with almost all of the characters, and their feuds, that are contained in this book, I am truly impressed at the wealth of quotes and new information that Mr. Hadleigh has amassed here. I didn't think I could learn anything new, after having devoured all the Hollywood Babylon books and anything else I could get my hands on, and I was quite pleasantly surprised that Celebrity Feuds brings to light much new information I've never read before, perhaps owing to Mr. Hadleigh's Hollywood connections -- he is the author of several books on Hollywood and he has gained direct access to some of Hollywood's biggest stars like Bette Davis and behind-the-scene geniuses like George Cukor and Cecil Beaton. If you are looking for definitive and delicious dish, this is the book for you...

Review: I felt kind of guilty ordering this book - like I was revealing some immoral interest in gossip. But, wow, was I glad when it arrived! This is a well-written account of some infamous and lesser known Hollywood feuds, divided into chapters focusing on a specific 'tiff' that stand alone (and also include shorter summaries of other fights - typically related to the major story - at the end of each one, which can be read on their own as well). And it is so much fun! Sure, it's voyeuristic to hear the inside dirt on private relationships, however publicly the individuals lived, yet there's a lot of valuable, interesting information and insights into the celebrities discussed, which makes it particularly fascinating and revealing. It is abundantly clear that the author has done quite a bit of research and is thoroughly acquainted with the celebrities and feuds contained within the book. I highly recommend Celebrity Feuds to any fan of movies, television and/or celebrities, or anyone who just likes to hear some dirt once in a while. It's great on car trips - I recently read chapters aloud as we traveled, and we found it an enjoyable, interesting and hilarious way to pass the time.

Summary: Not as catty as others in its catagory....
Review: I picked up this book for lack of there being any better subjects at the time. I was surprised that it wasnt as backstabbing and harsh as the other books I have read in this category. It had more dealing with leading roles and top billing then the usual sex and drugs in other reads. Also it is for all ages and doesnt deal with the teen pop there is today, asother books tend to zero in on.
From the foursome of I love Lucy, Sonny and Cher, Bette Davis vs. Joan crawford to Boris Carloff vs. Bela Lugosi, Natalie Wood, Jackie and Joan Collins. Theres a bit on Julia and Eric Roberts, and Michael Jackson, probably the youngest in the group. It is all very interesting with stories more believeable than other books, alot of the context comes from true interviews with the author himself.
It isnt a book i would reccommend running out to buy immediately, but if it is there and you have nothing better to read at the moment, try it. It is just the same as watching an old version of entertainment tonight.

Review: So catty, so [frisky], so entertaining. As much as I enjoyed this little book, I keep wondering when a book about famous Hollywood friendships will be written. Not a book on Hollywood marriages, or love relationships, but about platonic friendships that lasted past the shared interviews and photo-ops of a movie made together. It's impossible that they never existed, or weren't observed, but they're hardly written about in great detail. I'm sure that others would be as interested in knowing this side of famous actors as they would be in reading about thier fueds.

Summary: Pageturner
Review: This is an excellent book! I loved it and read it in one day! The celebrity feuds, rows and spats detailed in the book were fascinating and written in a very easy style. Even though I had read and heard of some of these celebrity spats before, there were items that were totally new to me and very informative. I was able to pick and choose the ones that interested me first, which gave me the impetus to read all the others. I found out so many little known facts. The book was entertaining, informative, satisfying and funny.
